Who would have thought year ago, aye, one
little week, that the renowned and highly honored
State Bank of Indiana-of wing parentage-whig
training-whig morals-and wing crimes-would ever
be denounced dangerous to physical health-as
an agent in filing our hospitals and pest houses, and
converting living into dead men 80 What strange
hallucination hath seized upon the Alas to run into
this atheism of ocofoco hate of BanI-rags But the
reader shall hear the complaint and the charge,
brought by wing organ against a whig "iHStitu.

Surely no prudent man would think of eating a
meal after handling Indiana Bank note, without
first washing his hands. | have often heard of the
small Pox being communicated from place to place
by the agency of bank notes. and readily believe
that such circulation is furnished by the so called
respectable institution of the St,te Bank Of Ind-
ana, might have g very respectable influence in
hlng our hospitals and pest houses, and converting
living into dead men !: For my own part | can never

port on this subject, and if must submit to the

Whoever will take the trouble to examine carefully
INTO the secret manRuvres of a class Of men,
VINO manage always to secure TO themselves a good
share of the spoils Of victory, but who are little
known or heard of during election, will become
asto shed at the degree of perfection which the
'parlor politician has arrived In his vocation He
Is never seen out minglng with the masses who do
the work of the party, but is, during an important
canvass, always to be found in his private study with
long list of names Of prominent party men residing
IN different sections of the country laying before him.
His whole time Is employed in correspondence He
chronicles every act of the party and dispatches his
letters to the prominent party men, and particularly
the candidates for the Presidency, Vice Presidency,
members of Congress, &c &c. He thus, too often,
obtains reputation for being an active party man,
one whose time and talents have been employed to
advance the interests and secure the success of the
Democratic party. How many thousand letters have
been written to President Polk by the .parlor polit-
Clans throughout the country i-men who have new
er raised hand to the victory, and many of
them did not take the trouble to vote for him.
Yet venture to assert that these very men are now
the most chmorous for Office. Will not the President
examine well the credentials of these men when they
apply for office Instead of considering the number
Of letters they have written him as qualification it
would be better TO inquire what services he has rem
dered the triumphant party; whether he has done
anything that should entle him to the patronage he
solicts In short advise the President to beware
of this class of men who come under the denomina-
ton Of ''parlor politicians. PleJeiaa.

Nh. TYLER's HAsTE.-We understand that Mr.
Tyler mounted one of his relations express, to
hasten TO communicate to Texas that he, as President
of the United States, has made his election as TO the
alternatives contained in the late act of Congress-
looking to the admission of Texas into the Union !;
and that he had chosen that alternative whc, If is
known could not have commanded majority in the
Senate, and had rejected that which ccrred the major
iy in tie House up from twenty two to ffty-six
Mr.. Tyler knows well That Congress did not intend
to lntrust the Discretionary power of the to his
hands lie Knows well, that if he bad appointed the
commissioners necessary under of the alternatives
of the act, they would not have been confirmed 10
carry out his instructions. He has, therefore, seized
upon that portion of the Legislative enactment which
if acceded to by Texas may involve future difficulties
in own Congress, and mar the concord now exist
ing among the friends of the measure which can alone
insure its happy consummaiOn. He has taken the
alternative meant by the law to be conferred on the
American President whose duty it viii be to effect the
measure from him. and given ii to the Texan Execu-
tive.
But, apart from all considerations of public policy,
what will the country think of the Propriety and de-
corum of this attempt to forestall the action of the
Chief Magistrate chosen by the people with an espe-
cal eye TO this question: and to whom alone it is no.o-
rious the discretion confded IN the act Of Congress
intended TO apply! 1t is clear that, Mr. Tyler
began his Presidential IN virtue of accident
he take the benefit of the whole chapter of
accidents, to blend himself with results having their
origin in the counsels of Generals Jackson and Hos-
ton, and which his inauspiciouS management so far
marred in their progress.
