lias characterised us for past year; and

our councils continue to be guided by wisdom and fidelity, we shall run a glorious career, indeed outstripping all political calculation. The expenses of the ensuing year will not, in all probability exceed those of this; and should you think fit to exact no more from the people than is necessary for tlie ordinary purposes of government, you nhy reduce the taxes at the rate of twenty per cent. If you reduce any tax, it would be congenial to thousands of your fellow citizens tor you to lay a foundation for the abolition of poll tax. It seems disagreeable to the majority of the people; and as this is their go Tcrnmcnt, let it be administered to their satisfaction Finally, I would remark, t'tat you arc now about to enter upon the business ol the session. Th ,t department of the government which you are, must necessaiily act conjointly with him who exercises Executive power It I hive any one wish, at this time, that predominates, it is, that these two departments may act in harmonious unison for the good of our mutual and joloved country. Your Ex-ccut-ve only asks you lor as much ot your friendly support and co opera ion, as may be essential, to guarantee to our growing republic, those infinite and high destinies, which her commandi ig situation, and nature's God, hoi 1 in reserve f r her. When it becomes necesssary for you, in the exerci of your delegated powers, to select from among your fellow citizens, some one for pubdc office, allow me to indulge a si en hope, that your predilections for men, may in no respect disturb the meas ures of the government. Suffer it and you will make a grave for wholesome legislation Calm, free and dispassionate investigations on the merits of all propositi ns, are apt to ultimate in safe and en lightened conclusions. Thus, may we live, think and act for our country. JMES B.RAY. Indianafioli. Dec rt, 826. LEG I SLA n VIS SO MM ARY. HOUSE OR REPKESEXT 1TIVES Friday,' Dec. 15. Mr Ferris, from the eommi tee of ways

and means, reported a bill making provisions for the payment of the d bt due the United States by the state of Indiana; Which was read and referred. Mr. lieckes, from the committee or ways and iiicms, m ute a detailed report of the items paid of the contingent fund, and recommended that the am unt ol th it fund be reduced which was laid on the table. On motion of Mr. Craig, Resolv d That the committee of ways and means be instructed to enquire into the cp uii ency of so amend'rig the revenue law, as to require that personal property snail be taxed tccording to its value. On motion of Mr. Spann Resolved, That the committee of ways and means be instructed to enquire into the exp.diency of so amending the revenue law us to give longer time to the citizens of the state to pay their taxes, and of gt i g longer time to the collectors to pay the rcve; nue into the state treasury Satuudvy.

cannot be wise to expose our Reprcscntaiives and statesmen to strong temptation. When the aspii am to the presidency finds

he can attain to the summit of ins ambi

without regard to the interests ol the people. We have no right to suppoe that man is madcot moie inflexible stuff in Amei ica than in Lu:opc ; and, wc shall commit a laud error in acting on the supposition that he is here incorruptible.
