The Adjournment.
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 81,


Messrs. EditorS-As there has been considerable
speculation with reference to the adjournment of the
legislature, and myself being Of the immortal
number who favored it, feel called upon to say
something, and state my reasons for so doing. was
one of the committee to whom this matter was re-
ferred. / stated my views before that committee,
did each member of it, Myself, with several other of
the committee, were personally opposed to the add
ournment; yet as to the policy or ProPrIey OF the
legislature remaining In session, exposed as 1t was
and had been to the contagion of the small pox,
matter of serious doubt with me. This Is very
loathsome and very contagious and wihal very dan
gerous disease and did not feel willing to incur the
responsibility Of saying with my vote, that they should
adjourn, and stay at the hazard OF the life of
individual therefore concurred in the report of the
committee and voted for the adjournment; and my
further reasons for doing these: In the first
place discovered from the alarm IL created IN
jorty Of the members, that 1t rendered them unfit to
deliberate upon matters Of legislation and without de-
liberate action upon matters that vitality affect the
interest of a community, think we had better have
no action at all, for with the most mature delibera-
tons we make matters bad enough.
In the second place, a number Of the members had
gone home, number had declared their intention TO
90 at all hazards, and in all probability would
have been left without a quorum-at least, large
portion of the State would have been unrepresented
As to the policy of the adjournment have not the
least doubt under the circumstances 1t is well
to cngender disease (Sui generas) well TO assist
and render a contagion more malignant and suscepti-
bic of being propagated and being developed. If 50
be that this disease had occurred IN some remote part
of the city, have doubt but that it would have
been very different no would have thought of adj
ourning; but not it was at one OF the principal
hotels in the city, where two hundred and fifty
persons roomed and boarded-some fifty or sixty Of
whom were members, and ALL with few exceptions,
were exposed to the conagion; and further, believe
that will be justified in saying. that if the proper
steps had been been taken Immediately by the city au-
thorities, and Mr.. Kennedy been removed from the
Palmer House, to some convenient place provided for
that use, that would be in seats attending
to our business but sorry to say that from the
time that il ascertaned to be the small pox, up
to the time of the adiournmen-a lapse of some two
or three days-not the first thing was done tocrcum
scribe the disease to my knowledge, save what was
done by Mr. Palmer, and those who were Dir. Kenne-
dy's immediate attendants. | do not state this. in
tending any reflections upon the city authori-
ties, but merely in mitigation Of the momentous out
rage we committed in aourning. We ere creatures

The PRESIDENCY. - GoU. Siunk-Several of the
Pennsylvania papers have hoisted the name OF Gov.
Skunk as the Democratic candidates for President.
Gov. Skunk is undoubtedly popular man among the

proud position which it occupies in the democrat
&c column He is one of the frmest and most reliable

TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE NAME.-The Canaan
ches claim TO be the nea descendants of the empire
of Montezuma, and the only legitimate of the
whole Mexican country. The chiefs say that when
Cotez landed in Mexico, he found the country torn 10
pieces by internal factions, and enabled by en-
poying the disaected Chiefs to raise force to seize
upon their capital Those chiefs believed that if they
could destroy the power of Montezuma they could
easily despatch the Spaniard and have the control of
the country in their own hands. But too late they
ascertained that they had introduced harder MASTER
and that unconditional seryitude all they had TO
expect. They were required to change their ancient
religion, and thousands of them off to work
in the mines, from which they rarely made their
escape. great proportion of them bowed their
necks to the conqueror, and became serf and slaves
TO the Spaniards; but few, the noblest and best,
preferred exile to servitude, and set out pill
grImage to the north, IN hopes To find land where
they could enjoy their ancient institutions peace.
They travelled for many weeks and at last came to
the great river of the north-the Rio Grande-where
they encampcd, and sent out twenty chosen men TO
examine the adjacent country. They crossed the
great river and assembled of the highest peaks OF
the mountain, which overlooked the adjacent plain.
The prairie covered with buffalo, deer and
lopes and they thought they had reached the happy
hunting-ground, and the word "Tehas Tehas Te-
has :" burst from every tongue. 1t decided
unanimously that it should be their future home, and
that the country should 60 by the name apparently
| furnished them by the Great Spirit
| Tehas is the Camanche name for the residence OF
the happy spirits in the other world where they shall
enjoy an eternal felicity, and have plenty Of deer
and buffalo always at hand. But taking the sound
they pronounced it, and giving it the Spanish orthog-
raphy, it gives US the word /" Texas which is the
'happy hunting ground" The 60 Elysium,' of the
Camanches. This is the true history Of the name as
derived from Isowacany himself

This we look upon one of the most ridiculous
acts ever comm tied by men protesting intelligence.
The whole of this trouble and expense is that
there is single of Small Pox in Indianapolis,
which SO perfectly alarmed and terrified this $50
brave band of public servants, that they abaDdonded
the Capitol in that far surpasses any retreat
Of Santa Anna since the commencement of The war,
just as if the Small Pox was an uncommon disease in
this country. We know to own knowledge that it
has appeared in almost every town of note in Indiana
during the two past years, without producing any
serions consequences of alarm. The taxpayers OF
the State will hold their Representatives responsible
for this uncaed for additional expense-whch will
amount to thousands of dollars.

have favorable influence upon the Mexican wing
