Public building, at Indianapolis.

There is one matter TO which desire 10 call the at
tenon of the members of the Legisature-that is the
erection of public building, on the block north of
the State house. Among all the public buildings erected
by the State at the of Government so credtable
and useful in their place, good safe, and convenient
building for the public Offices of the State, seems to
have been entirely overlooked. As the matter now
stands the Governors Office is at place, the Secre
tarys at another the Treasurers at another the Au
diors at another, the Judges of the Supreme Court
at another separated from the Library. the clerks Of
fee of the Supreme Court in different part of the
city from where the court SITS the Adutant Generals
at another, the Quarter master generals at anoth-
er, the public records, books, papers and archives
posed to every casualty of fire and destruction,
while persons from other parts Of the State, at the
capitol on business require guide to enable them to
find the various Offices. good ornamental fire proof
building large enough to accommodate all the public
officers and satisfy the public demands, could be erect.
ed for little than what the State property
pied by the treasury would bring and all the above
enumerated Offices, with Supreme court room, could
be conveniently arranged under single roof. SUBJ
nit that such building is indispensable to the
administration Of the public business at the capitol.

Missouri for several successive years-his term of

The late Proclamation.

The organ of the cabinet and its echo the National
Intelgencer introduce the proclamation signed Zach
airy Taylor by informing the public that it twas re-
ceived yesterday at the Department of State in a
munication from the President at Harrisburg" And
we notice that this remark is re-echoed by all the
Taylor papers into which the document has been
copied 1t is ridiculous and transparent ruse, to i'm
press their readers with the belief that General Tay
or his journey, received the information, framed
the proclamation, and sent it to the Department of
State from Harrisburg Ii is one of those little tricks
which prompted by their anxiety to conceal the
humllating fact from the American people, now very
generally believed, that General Taylor is not equal
the duties Of the high Office which he fills; and the
very trick berays the mortying truth that lie Is not.
Possibly the proclamation may have been received
Gin a communication from the President at Harris
burg" But that he composed or wrote one word of
it, except his own name, nobody at all acquainted
with the humbuggery practiced here by the unscru-
pulous men by whom General Taylor IL surrounded,
will for one moment believe. So confident are we
that General Taylor had nothing to do with the CON-
position writing of the proclamation, that we are
ready and willing to wager suit Of broadcoth upon
the truth Of our statement. We believe the procla-
nation prepared in this city, and signed, before
the General left. 1t is in conformity with the
crooked and sinuous manner in which things are now
done in the cabinet. But if it not prepared and
signed before the General left, it prepared ana
him for his signature, and therefore it could be
4
ton from him at Harrisburg. But the prominence
given TO this fact only proves that the organs them
selves are conscious of the humiating truth, tina,
their President is not capable Of performing the SIM
plest duties of his Office and hence the aectaoD that
the proclamation came all the way from Harrisburg
Alas! poor whiggery.
We are inclined TO think that this story Of q medi.
tated descent upon Cuba which has been made the
casion of the great flourish of trumpets by the present
imbecile cabinet, will turn out to be mares nest
We have no statement of facts from anthem
tic quarter, which justies the belief that descent
meditated by our citizens upon the Island of Cuba
nor do believe that such enterprise is seriously
contemplated. On the contrary, we regard the i'm
pcations Of the proclamation ibels upon our cit
zens. We have heard Of no enlistng drilling men
and contemporaries of the press in the cities ar'
unable TO point to anything Of the kind. Nay, mos
of them treat the whole matter with ridicue.. W.
are inclined to think the whole, proofs and oil
will turn out q ridiculous farce, which will dsgrac,
nobody but the cabinet, which has already incurred
the contempt of the country, without this additions
act of folly.-Union.

Col. BENTON AND HIS APPEAL.-Ths Wing papers
of Missouri, pretty generally, have been neutral in
the Benton and Jackson controversy now waging In
that State, and have expressed disposition to re-
main hands off in the contest. The ST. Louis New
Era, an excellent Wing paper, dissents from The gen.
eral opinion, and gives, in view OF the matter,
good and sufficient for its dissent. We give
two or three extracts from the New Era's article:
"The issue presented by Col. Benton in this con-
troversy is, first, opposition to the extension Of any
more suve territory; secondly, opposition to Calhoun
and his Southern allies the practical effect OF whose
principles would inevitably lead to dissolution oil
the Union; and thirdly, opposition to the principles
avowed in the resolutions Of instruction passed by
mere majority of our last Legislature.
From those instructions Col. Benton has appealed
to the lohoe people Of the State Of Missouri whose
sent or dissent he asks, that he may conduct himself
accordingly as one Of the Senators in Congress from
this State. If, then, there question of prin
cple whatever involved in this controversy the very
fact that Of Senators has asked of his const
uents without distinction Of party, their views as te
certain great measures, TO come up for sctlon at the
next session. would Of ITSELF require at the hands
the Wing press free and candid expression of opin
ion If this expression is not given, and Col. Bentor
should act and vote in opposition to the views enter
tanned by our political friends, with what propriety
could any Of US raise our voices against him y
Viewing the subject in this light we have neve
hesitaed in complying with the request of one of ou
Senators by expressing ourselves, first, as decidedly
opposed the extension of slavery another inch IN
der any circumstances whatever; secondly as being
equally hostile against the sectional and dsorganzlns
policy Of Mr.. Calhoun and all who approximate hi
views; and lastly, as against the spirit and tone o
| the resolutions of the last Missouri Legislature
which regard derogatory to the character of tn
State, and at with the peace and permanency o
our Institutions. But because we perchance to coin
eide with Colonel Benton In opinion as regards al
these three propositions, it by means follows thu
we thereby become partisan Of his, and are unde
ony obligation to support him in any other measure
political or local. that he may advocate or favor.
There is but two sides 10 each proposition, RICH
and a wrong. No half house can De or has been con
siructed. And we do not believe, upon reflection
that Wing paper in Missouri can be found that vii
refuse to say to Col. Benton whether he is right
wrong in the course he is pursuing. We believe hir
10 be right, and SO believing. bid him God speed
his mission through the State"
