ulace ; but in one like obr s, where virtue is the principle, and reason alone moves the great machinery, intelligence is the rock on which all hope is reposed. 1 Mould therefore, earnestly suggest the propriety of extending ihe means of the state to the furtherance of the object, with such liberality as our combined means will justify. With the control of the available donations in lands, which has been vested in you, for the use of a seminary of learning, and of the section reserved to the inhabitants of the several congressional townships for the use of common schools, a treasury filled beyond the correspondent charges against it, and a people anxious for the dissemination of useful knowledge to applaud you, I have evcry confidence that the subject of education from its first principles to its more advanced and liberal summits, will receive your unreserved sanction and effectual encouragement It must be admitted, that these lands subjected to our use for the best of purposes, although intrinsically valuable, are at present in a great degree, either wild, and covered with natuie's rank, rich, uncultivated growth, (as is to be feared are the mindset too many of our rising youth) or only so impartially improved and tenanted, as to be ot but trifling avail now, and of little promise to the tuturc. The propriety is therefore respectfully sub.nitied, ot giving such permanency to the management or disposal of these various tracts, as w ill leave an immediate aid and spring to the high objects they were designed to advance. The pubiic Seminary at Bioumington, with the exertions of its directors, and of the scientific professor under whose immediate charge the institution, with every propriety is placed, is advancing in usefulness and character. It is presented as deserving your paternal care, and as requiring only your favorable countenance and support, to ensure its permanency and respectability. If the judicious intimation in our constitution as to a sa'e of the semi: sr lands af er the year 1820, should be repulsed by our views of policy, and our state institutions are solely to rely upon the proceeds of those lands for support, you tan then, easily be made sensible of the necessity of appropriating something from the treasury towards the improvement of this rising seroinaty. Books, apparatus for the illustration of the sciences, and a decent compensation to the professor are indispensibie pre-rc-quisites to the success of the college. With such ample resouicesiu land as we possess for building up and patronizing a great institution of learning, in Indiana, she should no longer indulge herself in a state of passivity on this subject, but at once admit the truism, that letters and intelligence are the precursors of power. Kducation made the Greeks good members of the commonwealth by enabling them to acquire such arts and habits, as rendered their services available, in peace or war. In the most nourishing period of the Roman republic, literature had a patron in every great man ; and instruction prepared all orders of their youth for the senate, the bar, or the field. But here n this land of freedom more than any where else, knowledge is our sword and shield hence let us gird upon postet ity this formidable panoply, and the republic is safe. That section of land in each congressi coal township, for the use ot common schools, requires your particular notice. The lavs regulating these lands are susceptible of improvement. Something should be done o prevent the commission ot waste upon them. To rind the most e ffectual preventive there is some difhcul ty. What strikes me as most, likely to succeed, under the present mode ot disposing of them, is to give long lease for a certain and determinate term o! years, on a yearly ground rent, and to subject trespassers to an indictment in the Circuit court. In this way you may create such an interest in 'he hsee as to induce him to preserve the soil and timber ; whilst on the other hand you threaten him and all others, with the teirors ot a public prosecution. You will find that the law regulating these sections, is exttemely looc, having no vindicatory clause. The example, however, which Ohio lias et, in fctti'ig an act of congress pacd for the sale of similar lands, may influence your decision, and induce you to embrace that course. Whatever plan yen m:.y (!cijj, let it have uniformity in view. These nte

already leases given in this state on these j lands for almost every term, horn fi-,e to j ninety-nine years. This will present great confusion, to the future legislator, if he ever concludes to oppose the x i '.-lit of soil. All vvell regulated states, both ancient and modern, have viewed the acquisition of knowledge as the irot essential re quisite, to t'.ic strength, prespeiity ami dut ability of government.

Extract of a letter from Benj. V Beckes, Esq to the Editor, dated, Indianapolis, December 15, 1826. " Our Legislative business progresses slowly much business is preparing, which, together with the increased number of members, it is to be feared, will force a long session. 41 I think it very probable that or.e or more new Circuiis will bv, formed. Some important and useful amendments to the road laws a' e in preparation, and an entire revision of our laws upon.that subject is spoken of by ome. In the house of representatives there is a large majority io favor of extending the jurisdiction ot Justices of tiie Peace to Si 00. u I he subject of a call of a convention it is thought will he submitted to the people. Articles of impeachment have been found against one of the Justices of the Peace, of Floyd county, w hich, in all probability will cost the state seme thousands of dollars.
