StOlc B0nk.
In the last Alton Telegraph we find the fol-

| Week before last the senior editor of the State
Register and Col. L. ID. Taylor the "ckgue' can
didnte OF The locofocos for governor, came down
the Illinois Tiver on iheir way To St. Louis. Up
| IN the same boat were two gentlemen of our ac-
qual0tancc-onc resident OF Calhoun couniy,
The other resident Of pekin, ia this state. From
both we learn that Col. Taylor and Mr.. " lcrs,
during the whole time they woe on the boat wnh
| hen, openly advocated the rechareiug &c the
State Bank Of Illinois, and dtcla.ed the leg stature
would bc compelled 10 take ,hs step with view
Of protecting their constituents from ihc issues Of
irresponsible banas ui u,der s,a,es that aso now
flooding our bolders.
The Telegraph gives these f'ct' by WY Of sub
s,antaiiug the assertion it sta IS DOT wiih, that
the establishment OF stale bank is in Ihe next
election 10 be mrde a prominent issoc, and that
iae affirmative of the proposition VII he s,srmed
ny the democrats. If Col, Taylor aod Mr.. Wal
les constituted iae whole democratic patty, there
is no doubt lbe case would be clear enoush, and
there would be no need OF picking up seam boat
conye sat ons 10 prove it. The obiiQu;,y OF these
