"A "a m in Cadiz!"

"A Bank i'm Cadiz!"
Yes-"A BANK IN CADIz 7" The Republican
is out in one of its emost forcible feeble" arti-
cles in favor of a Bank in Cadiz. We, too, 90
in for a Bank in Cadiz! Cadiz must have a
Bank!--Ir MUST! That is the word with the
baik on! How under the sun can the citizens
of Cadiz and the county of Harrison, think of
getting along without a Bank2 How can n fish
live without water? Where is the. use in writing
a column 10 prove the necessity of Il Bank in
Cadlz? The whole argument may be summed
up in a few words. ire mast haze a Bank! Eve
ry town in the State, that can boast of a tavern,
blacksmith shop, a distillery, a tafy shop, and a
wing politician, IS making efforts for a Bank, and
of course great Cadiz must hare a Bank! With
out a Bank, a thousand misfortunes will certain
ly befal US! Without a Bank, the Hessian Fly
will surely get in the wheat and destroy il!
Without a Bank, the sheep will die off with the
rot! Withouta Bank, the cut worm will nip the
corn in the bud! Without a Bank, the streams
will run up hill! Without a Bank, the Miller
ties will realize their longlooked-fo for event-ihc
end of the world! After these powerful argu-
mems, who will have the unblushing temerity to
oppose the establishment of a Bank in Cadiz?
And then, moreover, a Banking House would add
so much to the beauty of the village. How
pleasing it would be to the eye of a stranger, in
coming into Cadiz for the first time, to see a
large building, made out of pure marble, (for we
must have a marble Bank } with beautiful Derrick
columns in front, surrounded with a neat cast
iron fence. There, in the morning, while the
words FRANK SHUT" were not removed from the
door, stand the cashier and teller, nice fat men,
neatly shaved by Joe Murrin, Joe would make
a good Banker, for he shares closc,) with arms
akimbo, while the smoke curls gracefully from
the highly favored cigars in their lips! Look
at them, and like Goldsmith's school-master, YOU
The days disasters in their morning face -
"Vot himinazin' fine individuals they is,n as
Samiycl Weller says in the Pickwick papers;--
philanthropic, noblc-heartcd, generous men, and
good citizens withal They are guardians of
the morals of the town and country! Ccnscrva-
tors Of the peace! They WELD the magic wand,
and every thing they touch turns to gold, as ifby
enchantmcnt! They have but TO utter a few
mysterious, caballistic words, and make a few
signs like the witch of the Alps, and the drawer
of every man will DC filed with beautiful pic
lures, of gods and goddesses, Phptons in the air,
Neptune with his watery steeds, Ceres with her
urn Of plenty, and Minerals owl, red dogs and
wild cats without number! And all these beau
tiiul pictures will have d V or an x in the cor
ner, and these significant words-NrmE BANK OF
CADIz PROMISES TO PAY, ON DEMAND, to Peter r.
X. Shocks, or order, ten d%ollars,'' in beautiful
letters across the face!
We are decidedly in favor of Bank in Cadiz
who is moi?
o. 1t is with feelings Of pain and regret that
we observe the injudicious course pursued by sew
eral democratic Journals in this and other States.
in regard TO the admission of Texas into our
National Union. To set up that or any other
isolated question as a standard by which TO tesi
a mans democracy, is ridiculous in the extreme
In our opinion a man may be in favor of imme-
date and unconditional annexation and be a
good democrat; he may be opposed to annexa-
ton under any circumstances, and still be u de-
mocrat. Many persons have z~ealously advoca-
ted annexation, who are wings dyed in the wool.
The admission of Texas should be a National
and not a party question. There is no doubt
but that The democracy are entitled to the credit
OF bringing the question of a~nnexing Texas 10
an issue before the American people. The de-
mecratic party favored, while the fcderalists gen.
errlly opposed, the purchase of Louisiana.
The democratic party have taken a bold and de-.
cided stand in favor of the occupancy of Oregon,
while the wings have either tacitIy or openly
opposed it. II may be that democrats opposed
Inc purchase of Louisiana, and yet never had
their democracy called into question. We are
as much in favor Of the immediate annexation of
Texas as the respectable editor of the Wayne
County Standard possibly can be, but we shall
not make asilly and injudicious attack upon de.
mocrats who may not view the subject in the
same light that we do. We hope friend KrNNE.
DY will see the folly of the course he is pursu.
ing, and hereafter cease his attacks upon demo-
Gratis who arc opposed TO annexation.

opposition 10 the remuneration Of Texas. He
