And the homeliest things have their regular ace
She sings as she works with singing smile,

freed fom the lien of the government, and
lis affairs can now be more readily settled
This arrangement is one that is calculated
to be ofvery great benefit to those now anx-
iously awaiting speedy sttlement of the
affas of this unfortunate institution"
This institution which has swindled the
abooring people Out of millions, has succee-
ded in buying up its notes at almost nothing,

found that the bank was broken, and bis

must moi think hard of il, that the bank had
been "unfortunate," and lost a large amount
of money by the failure of another bank;
but, that some time they would redeem it.
This was poor consolation; but the whig had
worked upon the feelings ofthe laborng man
in such manner as to make him think it
pity for the ''unforunaie institutions" which
had so robbed him Of his hard earnings

A DEMOCRATIC BANK.-Some doubt be-
ing justly entertained, whether sich thing
as democratic bank can reslly exist, we
give the following 'plan' of one, from the
Galena Jeffersonan, which ought 10 settle
the question:
Vauh-Mother earth.
Erchanges-The transplantings Of tho
nursery and garden.
Deposites-The seed sown by the far
mer.
Diseounts-Happiness, sobriety, and man
ly independence.
Assets-smiling fields waving with
golden harvest.
Liabilities-Indebted to God alone, wlo
sends the sunshine and the rain.
Dir;aends--Health, wealth, and honest,
patriotic hearts.
We hope this may be the only kind ut
banks ever tolerated in the west.

EVANGELICAL DIsTILLERY.-Sued for Ii
bcl-Mr. Comegys, of Lawrenceburg, has
commenced suit against the Editors of the
Greensburg Repository, laying damages at
FIVE thousand dolars.-Indiana Blade.
That's right. We know ofno person who
can so i'll afford 10 lose his character as a
christian disliller. Five thousand dollars
worth of character lost, would make quite a
hole in any distiller's character; but in a
Christian disiiller's not quite so bad a
breach, we hope, as in an ungodiy, impen-
itcnt disliller's case. Had the Repository
known that the whskey was made upon
Christian principles at the establishment
whose pious owner he had slandered, he
would doubtless have delberated long be-
fore uttering his aspersions. Carnal whis-
key is dangerous article. But consecrated
whiskey, brough, over from the still amid
prayers and hymns, and put up in holy bar
rels, and sent forth with heavenly minded
aspiration for its sefulness-this is another
affair. We regret TO say that the other dis.
tillery in Lawrenceburg is in an awful way.
We fear that there is neither prayer nor re-
ligious exercise Of any kind about it.
We hope our friend will not allow these
spiteful efforts to deter him from his effort
to reform dislileries, and put them on a
Christian footing. We have too much faith
in the moral sense of the community TO be-
ieve that they will, on any account, suffer
the chacter of christian distller to leave
him. 1t will stick to him closer than a
brother. In sober earnest, we believe. it
will stand by him in death; and he will have
to stand by it in the judgment day; and per-
adventure, time will come when he would
give, not $4,000 TO recover his character,
but as many worlds 10 get rid oft

bed and run, while every body in the theatre
was all up in muss, some larfn, some
swearin'. The upshot of it was, the porlice

to make myself scarce.
