'"S'r!!e'Cons!iIutio116i'rnposcbthe obligation :,re!'ont

upon tho Governor of communicating with Lhe Legislature by messages from time to time, aud it imposes a like obligation upon tho Legislature of receiving and considering such messages. In discharge of this obligation, the Governor sent his semi annual inessago to the Senate and House. Tho Senate received tho message and ordered it to bo printed, but the House refused to receive it, returned it to the Governor, and pasBed a resolution receiving and adopting the message of tho Governor of New York. [Laughter.]

From such a beginning it was not hard to prodict the end. The House hid begun its Legislative course by a wanton insult to the Executive, by a flagrant violation of the Constitution, which it had, but a few hours before, sworn to support. Tbo revolutionary policy thus inaugurated was pursued with increasing violence and open disregard of constitutional obligations. Its time was chiefly consumed by the introduction of disloyal resolutions, the utterance of factious and treasonable sentiments, intended to excite tho people againBt the Government, and destroy its power to suppress the rebellion.

The necessary and legitimate subjects of legislation were disregarded or kept back, aside Irom an appropriation for their own por diem and mileage which-was passed on tho first day ot tho session. Evory othor apn proprlation was absolutely suppressed until Friday, tho last day but one of tho session, when it was known that no quorum was present iu tho House. Among the appropriations which should navo been made at tho beginning of the session were:

First, A suflicient sum for tho relief of soldiers' families. Second, A sum suflicient to relieve tho sick and wouuded soldiers in tbo field

Third, A sum suflicient to pay the mil1 itary claims which had beon allowed by tho Auditiug Committee, and about whicli there was no dispute, some of them having been standing for many months.

Fourth, A sum sufticientjto pay special surgeons for servicos and expenses, rendored by order of tho Governor, in the field.

Fifth, A sum sufficient to sustain and continue tho operations of the Stato Arsenal it having been shown that that institution had been profitable to tho State, and of great aervico to tho State and Government.

Sixth, A sum suflicient to pay tho officers and men of tho Indiana Legiou,gor their services rendered in protecting tho border.

I am informed by Mr. Brauham, who was a member of the Committee 011 Ways and Means, that ho repeatedly urged on the Cominitteo immediate action in these important matter*, and also that bills appropriating monoy necessary for the support and opera tionoftho State Gevernmont should be promptly brought forward, but every etlbrt wtis unavailing the legitimate business of legislation was subordinated to tho great purpose of the session—to the grand scheme of tho party tor soizing the military power of tho imitate, and withdrawing the State from the support of tho General Government in suppressing tho rebellion.

Shortly after tho October election in 1862, it was given out by various Democratic politicians and papers that the Legion law would ho repealed, und a new law passed depriving the Governor of all control over State arras, and stripping him of all military power what* ever,

On the 17th day of February a mili'.ary bill was introduced by Bavless W, Hanna, Chairmnrt of tho Military Committee iu the House in pursuance of the conspiracy formed mouths before. It completely overturned the Constitutional authority of the State, established a military provisional government, and placed all military power of the State in the hands of the four Democratic State officers It will not be improper to make a

Inief summary of tho leading features of this remarkablo measure. First. 11 provided that all the'.armes should no placed _in the custody of the Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary and Attorney Uener.il of State, to be kept, issued or disposed of only by them.

Second, It deprived tho Governor of all powor to call out the Militia for any purposo whatever.

Third. It provided that the new officers to be created uuder this bill should be commissioned by certificates issued by tho Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary and Attorney General of State, and dispensed with commissions issued by tho Governor, as is required by tho Constitution of tho Stato. "Fourth. It provided that the abovo named State

officers

should have power to appoint

all Major and Brigade Geuerals, and conferred upon the officers thus appointed the power to select a numerous and expensive stafl".

Fifth. It provided that the four State otlieers, upon tho requisition of the Brigadier (teueral3, should issuo the arms to such per ons as might be agreed upon without requiring bouds to be giveu for their preservation and return, and could thus be placed in the hands of irresponsible parties for revolutionary and treasonable purposes.

Sixth. It provided for the repeal of the present Legion law, the dissolution of all brigades, regiments and companies formed under that law, tho surrender of their arms into tho hands of the ageuts to bo appointed by the four Stato officers, and rendered null and void all outstanding commissions in the Stato.

Iu short this bill transferred to the four Stato officers tho military power which \vas vested in the Governor by tho Constitution, and gave to them new and dangerous powers hitherto unknown to Constitutions or laws in regularly organized Governments.

They were to become four Grand Commanders, a Military Directory, a quadruple Executive.

The bill was defective in one particular, for it failed to provide for the contingency of two of those Executive Heads differing irom tho tho two. It should have made provision in such case for referring a disputed matter to a Justice of tho Peace or tho decision of a Coroner's jury. [Laughter.]

the worst record, perhaps, ever made by any

Legislative Assembly in tho United Stntca.

Immediately upon tho adjournment of the

Iu 1858 Governor Willard, in consequence of the alleged want of appropriations for their support, suspended tho Benevolent Institutions, and sent away the deaf and dumb, the blind and tho insane. This suspension took place in the month of May, but on the 20th day of the iSTovcmbar following, after tbe State eloctions had taken place, they wero re-opened, tho inmates sent for—such as could bo lound—aud tho money taken from the Treasury for their support. In tho meantime no legislation had been had and no appropriations made. If it was lawful to take monoy from tho Treasury to curry 011 these Institutions after tho Octobcr election, it was lawful to do it before—and their operations should never have been suspended, and the fact that after the election had passed and the time had gone by for making party capital out of their suspension, tlioy wore re-opened and supported from the Treasury in the ordinary way—proves that the original act of suspension was not a necessity, but a partisan measure of tho most reprehensible cli iracler. The Benevolent Institutions of tho Stato aro provided for in the Constitution of tho State, and are regularly organized by statute—the people of the Stnte have been taxed for their support, aud havo paid their money into the Treasury, where it now is.

Whether these constitutional and legal provisions, and tho collection of the money, constitute an authority for its application, I will not undertake to determino. I can un'y »y that in 1858 they were held to bo a sufficient. warrant.—after the October election Whatever might be tho true aspect of the legal question, I determined to procure, if possible, suflicient money to carry out. all the institutions of the State, and koep tho machinery of the government in motion. This would devolvo upon me great and novel responsibilities, but they were ng nothing com pared with thoso I should havo assumed by suspension aud failure. Money was procured Irom various sources—from the proceeds of the arsenal, from various 'counties—private persons—from one bank and one railroad company, until, I believe, sufficient iunds havo been secured to carry forward the State Government until the ist of February, lHGf). I am gratified to state that when the increased cost of all articles of food, clothing and matei ial§ of every kind consumed in the benevolent institutions shnll have been considered, it will be found that they havo been cauied on at, a dimiiii.-iied est of ten or titieen per cent as contrasted with the oxpendUuretfof former years. For tbis I am indebted to the vigilanco and economy of t.ho superintendents of the institutions, the members of the Hoard of Trustees ami especially to Andrew Wallace, President of the Board.

IN'TKKKST ON THK STATK IEB1\

1 now approach tho history of a transaction the most remarkable in the financial records of tho State, and one which will be read hereafter with mingled indignation and astonishment

Shortly alter the adjournment of the Legislature it was bruited about that Mr. Itistiue, tjje Stato Auditor, would decide that thore was no existing appropriation by which the money could be drawn from the Treasury to pay the interest on the State debt, and shortly afterwards the opinion of Mr. Hord, tho Attorney-General, to that effect, purporting to be addressed to Mr. Ristine, was published in the papers. This grand discovery was a surprise to everybody, and the purpose of it could not be mistaken—which was to drive mo to call an extra session of the Leg islature. The proposition itself was an insult to public morals aud good faith, aud in utter disregard of the usage and practice of the State for many years. In 18-il, the State having contracted a large debt for the purpose of internal improvement, and the sys tem having proved disastrous, failed to pay the interest upon her bonds, the credit of the State was at once prostrated in the money markets of tho world, her hitherto good name everywhere affected, and her (air prospects tor future prosperity and greatness blighted. Her reputation for bid f.iiih aud bankruptcy tor many years caused current of immigration to sweep around her and over her to States iicihe Borth and «_t, and lor a series of years'her growth iu population and wealth was retasded.

In 1864 the people of the -State declared imperatively that measures must be adopted to restoro her credit and to do justice to her creditors. Accordingly a compromise was finally agreed upon and adopted by which her creditors surrendered and canceled one half of their debt amounting to over seven millions of dollars, in consideration of which the State transferred to them the Wabash & Erio Canal and issued now stocks to them for the other half, upon which she solemnly pledged herself to pay the interest semi-an-

It was the confident expectation that I would bo compelled to call back the Legislature or suspend the operations of all these institutions—but I determined to do neither. To have called back the Legislature would havo been an act of madness for which I should have been condemned by every true man in the State. To have suspended the Benevolent Institutions and scattered tho unfortunate inmates abroad, would have been an act of inhumanity, disgraceful to tho Stato and to all parties concerned.

the bringing of this suit was apparently in tbo performance ef his duty. It waa ob

thing to consumato repudiation. The history of the cause in its progress through the Circut and Supremo Courts clearly established tho truth of this opinion. The history of the case in tho Circuit Court is set fourth in the card of Mr. Smock, tho Deputy Clerk of that Court, which I will read :. iNnrANArous, May 1G, 18G3. "Iu the case entitled The State of Indiana on tho rotation of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund vs. Joaeph Ristine, Auditor ot State, the papers were first presented to me by Mr. Hord, tho Attorney General, an Monday the 11th day of May, with a request that tho entry prepared should at once be entered oT record, and a transcript made out and certified for the Supremo Court. Ihis was my first knowledgo of tho caso. Mr. Hord stated that tiie caso had been passed upon by tho Court Tho papers consisted of a complaint, demurrer to complaint, answer and demurrer to answer, and of an entry in my haud-wrltiugofthe Attorney General, rcciting the overruling of tho domurrer to the complaint, the sustaining of the demurrer to the answer, and the judgment of the Court that a writ of mandate issued^ in conformity with the prayer of the complaint. Tho Attorney General wanted mo to quit my other work and make the entry in the order -book immediately, which I refused to do, and t»ld him tint the transcript could Dot bo mado then, unless it was made from the original papers, and before the entry was made in tho order book. Mr. Hord replied that ho would take it in that' way. I sup' posed it was all right, and that every thing had been ordered by the Court. "Tho papers were then taken to tho Clerk's otlico and from them a transcript was made out aud certified beforo any step in the caso had been entered upon the ordor book and beforo the minutes had been read or sigucd. As soon as the transcript could be completed in this mode, it. was banded the Attorney General, who was waiting at the Clerk's office for it he said as h$ received^ that he

hoped

to get a decission in '.the Su

premo Court in a lew dnys, and that the costs would bo paid. "After this the entry was iccorded.— When Judge Finch read the entry he re tnanked that he had not been informed of what it contained—that it had not been recorded He struck the entry from the order book with his own hind, and before the minutes for the day had been signed. "AY. 0.

SMOCK,

Deputy Clerk."

This certainly beats auy judicial time on record. Tho summary proceedings of the Police Court Now York or of the Old Bailey in London cannot approach it. Here the pleadings 011 both sides had beeu prepared out of Court in advance, including the opinion and judgment of the Court, a record of tha case procured and filed in the Supremo* Court before tho minutes in the Court "below had been read or signed with out the eh tractor ol the case .having beeu brought to the knowledge of the Judge of the Circuit Court, who, upon being informed of wh •it had beer done, struck out tho entry upon iho Order bo«'k with his own hand, aud, as 1 learn from another source sent a communication to th» Clark o! the Supreme Court, stating that the record filed with him had boon improperly obtained, and that lie had nut decided any such ease. He then took up and examined tho original complaint and decided it invalid, upon ihe ground that the proceedings were wholly premature the time not haviug arrived wlieu any action could ba had npon the subject, Prom this last decision Talbott appealed to the Supremo Court. The Supreme Court received and retained both records, and then the case presented tho very novel aspect of two appealrf in the Supreme Court at the same time, aud only one case in the Court below. In a lew days opinions were delivered in the Supremo Court in both cases denying the existence of auy appropriations by which the interest could be paid upon the State debt. And here I leave the law suit.

In future times the legal antiquarian will cause amidst his researches to examine this case as the greatest curiosity in the annals of American jurisprudence.

The duad lock was now placed upon th# Treasury. It was tub of money paid into it by the }eople to defray the interest upon the public debt, support the Benevolent Institutions and Penitentiaries, and l.quidate all tho expeuses incident to the operations of the Stnte Government.

Tho situation was full of embarrassment and responsibility to me and the affairs of the Slate were in a most critical aud delicate position. Tu have called an Extra Session of the Legislature would have realized the hope of tho repu:liators. A careful examination of the designs and temper of the majorf the ity {uiied to present the slightest prospect that a different policy would be adopted from that which prevailed at tbe Regular

Session, while the danger aud excitement which then prevailed would bs renewed with increased violence. Every Union member, so far as I could learn, was utterly apposed to an Extra Session, and I have yet to find the first Ueioii man in this State who did not protest against such a measure as being fraught with danger and powerless for good, Determined, however, to leave no effort un made to preserve the credit of tho State, in the month of June I proceeded to New York and opened negotiations with Messrs. Winslew, L*nier A. Co. That able and distinguished house promptly offered to pay the

subject of doubt and discussion. Steps were taken to inform the stockholders, as far as possible,of the true slate of the case to prevent panic and sacrifice, 1 pledging myself to make further eftbrts to effect an arrange ment for the payment of the interest.

Determined not to be defoated if possible in the cllbrt to preserve the credit or the State, 1 utteirjpted to secure from'other sources a correct list of tl|0 stockholders, and in this attempt succeeded in November. In the meantime the necessity for action had become more manifest and injurious than before. While the American stockholders in general had a correct knowledge of tho truo state of affairs, and but few stocks wore changing hands or being offered in iho market, tho caso was quite different with our stockholders in Europe. In Europe Ameri can politics are always badly understood, and the principal fact which they clearly comprehended was that they did not receive their interest. They associated this failure with that of 1841, and began to say that there was some strange fatality attending Indiana securities, and declared their intention of sending them back to America and getting clear of them at once and forever. Such a measure would have given the State a bad name abroad, seriously affeoting emigration to her borders, and would have been followed by great depreciation and loss of credit throughout the United States.

Having presented the list to Messrs. Winslow, Lanier & Co., they promptly, renewed their offer, and gave public notice that they would pay tbo back interest which fell due in July, and afterwards gave further notice that they would pay tho interest which accrued on tbe 1st of January, 1864, and up to this time, as I am advised, have paid out $280,000. The noblo and generous conduct of this house should and will be appreciated by the pooplo of Indiana, and Mr. Lanier, in his clear comprehension and able management of the affair, has displayed not only financial ability but a broad statesmanship that should put to the blush tbe petty and contemptible management of State officials who for partisan purposes were willing to disgrace the State before the world.

There is another transaction connected with the refusal to pay the interest on tho public debbt which must if possible increase the abhorrence entertained for it in tho public mind. On the day of August Messrs. Ristine and Brett, the Auditor and Treasurer, advanced to Walker from the State Treasiuy the sum of $90,000, to be invested by him in our war loan bonds or the State stocks, of which I have been speaking.— Messrs. Ristine and Brett have also taken from the Treasury tho sum of $50,000, with which they havo purchased Indiana 5 per cent, stocks, making in all tho sum of $100,000 taken from tho Treasury for that purpose.— We are here presented with the remnrkable spectacle of Stato officers deciding that there is no law by which they can pay the interest on the State stocks, but finding law to take money from the Treasury for the purclnse of the stocks themselves at a price depreciated by the failure to pay tbe interest. In what light must such a transaction bo viewed among private persons in tho business world. A refuses to pay his paper at maturity and then puts tho money in tho hands of to buy it up at discount. Ristine & Co. decide that it is unlawful to pay the interest on our stocks, but that it is lawful to take money from the Treasury to buy up the stocks themselves reduced in price by the failure to p.i the interest. Surely the" State might havo been saved this last disgrace.

STATK PRINTING.

1 snould fhil to present the conduct of the State officers in its proper light if 1 did not allude to their action in regard to the Slate Printer. It is difficult to see upon what lea! or moral ground they could rcfuso to advaneo money for the support of the Benevolent Institutions and Penitentiaries, and at tho same time pay largo sums of money to the Suite Printer yet this was the case.— Wlfen the Senate Journal of the last day of the Session, Monday, was read, it was found to contain a jesolution, which the minutes showed to have been adopted appropriating twelve thousand dollars for the payment of the State Printer.

Tho Union members {.resent declaring that uo such resolution had been read in their hearing, ami that no quorum was preseut to pass that or any other. Be that as it may, it was but the resolution of one House It was not law, aud had no force or validity whatever. Under the flimsy pretext of this resolution warrants were issued to the State Printer for twelve thousand dollars, for which he drew the money. When this sum was exhausted, there w&s a little delay in the payments but haviug become bolder, ami the necessities of the editor of the Sentinel becoming greater they dispensed with all pretext or forms ot law, and paid him large sums of money from time to time, in all amounting to about twenty thousand dollars. When asked to pay for the support of tho Benevolent Institutions they plead the absence of appropriations, and the terrors of the embezzlement bill. But when asked to pay the editor of a partisan newspaper, they laughed at the embazzlement bill as a good joke, and treated the plea of no appropriations as a clever thing in its way, but too trifling to interfere with the support of the party. I am informed that tbe Attorney General give an opinion to the effect that it was legal to pay the State Printer. I should have been surprised if ho had not.

yet even they are bound to confess that it would tend powerfully in that direction, and greatly contribute to destroy the vital re source* of the rebels. If then the withdraw* al of slave labor from the rebels would be so potept in its eflects and disastrous to the rebellion, upon what ground can the exis tence of the power to do it bo denied? As before stated, tho right of tho Government to blockade the ports of tho rebellious States has been solomnly declared by the Supreme Court of the Uqited States. Tho right to destroy or appropriate to the use of our own Government their railroads, bridges, ship, ping, growing crops and whatever property may bo useful to us or tho loss of which would bo injurious to them, is scarcely denied by the most bitter enemy of the Government. How then can the right be de pied to destroy or remove the labor which has produced all those things and may restore them if they are taken away? If tho right exists to destroy the resources of the enemy at all, why may it not be dono in this way? It tends to the same result for which the blockade was established, and differs only in form not in principle. And I now ask if tho truth of this proposition can for]a moment be denied that if it is the opinion of the Tresi ident a3 the Commander-in-Chief of the armies of tho United States, that if the institutionjof slavery is an element of power in this rebellion subsisting in whole or in part, their armies in the field and their families at home, and that ita destruction would greatly weaken if not ruin, their cause, he has the samo right to pull down rebel fortifications, blockade their ports, cut up their railroad destroy their crops, or do any other act which would impair or destroy the strength ef the rebellion?

Some politicians seem to ignore the fact that there is a vast difference between, war and peaco. They do not comprehend that war, from its very nature, involves the exercise of powers which, in times of peace, are unnecessary, and are prohibited. What sort of a war would that bo which is proso cuted on peace principles? War and peace are antagonistic states, and each has ita conditions,(privileges, and immunities, which are antagonistic to those of tho other and while our Constitution is ^formed and provides mainly for peace, yet it recognizes and provides for tbe possibilities of war.

EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION". Assuming that the President has the right to withdraw from the rebels elave labor, destroy the institution of slavory, if, in hia opinion, ho can thereby weaken |,or destroy the rebellion, I come next to tho consideration of the question as to tho maimer in which ho may exercise this power. Some

In time of peace there is no power vested in the President or in Congress to interfere with slavery in the States where it exists.— That power is drawn from its resting place in the Constitution and conferred upon the President by the rebellious conduct of the slave owners, and -their own bands have forged tbe bolt which was launched for their own destruction.

It is indeed a lofty aud and gratifying consideration that the exercise of this great power by the President is not only sanctioned by the laws of war, and upheld by tbe Constitution, but is in especial harmony with the principles of Eternal Justice and the revealed word of God. Slavery having voluntarily rejected tho protection of tbe Federal Constitution and advanced from* behind tbe bulwarks where it had been entrenched in safety so many years, Btood naked before its natural enemies—Liberty, Morals, Keligion and the public safety, aiid lias fallen pierced by a dart from each.

The first great -step adopted by the Government to cat off ibe resources of the rebels was the blockade of £heir ports, and the exclusion of all foreign trade and commerce This effort bas been only partially successful, and there is good reason to believe that if its success bad been complete, the rebellion would have failed before this timo for want of material and supplies for carrying it Qn.

The question of the power of the Government to blockade the ports of tbe rebel States was early presented iu the courts, and has been solemnly affirmed in the Supreme Court of the United States, every Judge con curring. No higher exhibition of the war power in cases of rebellion can be presented than blockading rebel ports, and troatirig them as the ports of a foreign enemy. The Constitution ia silent upon the subject, but the Court held that the right ia a necessary part of the war making power to suppress rebellion. It was done by order of tbe President, and without authority of concurrent act of Congress.

An attempt bas been made from tbe beginning to destroy rebel means of transportation and communication, by cutting up and destroying their railroads, bridges, steamboats and shipping of every kind. The right to do this has not been seriously questioned and is apart of the war power vested in the President as Commander in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United Statea.

To this it may be answered that making war is not confined to the use of armies and navies, and that if tho fidelity of the army of an enemy or the allegiance of the inhabitants of a hostile State can be affected by proclamations or •ippeals, it has been considered by every nation in every age of the world, proper to re* sort to thorn, und has been the practice of mankind. If the right exists it may be exercieed iu any way which shall be the most efficient or least costly.

OUR STATE TROCTS.

While wo rejoice in tbo bravery displayed by al! the armies of the United States, it is a subject of profound congratulation that the Indiaua troops bave behaved with uniform and distinguished gallantry iu every action in which they bave been engaged. They form a part of every army in tbe field, and have been among the foremost in deeds of daring, while their blood lifts hallowed every soil.

Our troops, hitherto engaged in the peaceful pursuits of trade au«l agriculture, have manifested that lofty courage and blgli toued chivalry of which others have talked so much and possessed so little, and whscb belongs only t- the intelligent patriot, who un derstands well the sacked ca'i^e in which he draws his aword. j*

Indiana has already made a large investment of her blood in tho canse of this Union, and will uever consent to its dismemberment or to dishonorable peace. The tamos of her sons mingle with the soil from irgini* and Missouri to Louisiana, and she will not confess that the sacrifico has been made inT vain, or acknowledge that it was in an unholy cause.
