Division on the Bank Question.

The Bank resolution Of the late Old Line
State Convention, one of the most inconsistent
planks ever attempted to be put even in mod
ern Democratic platform, is by no means re-
eeiyed with delight by all of the Democratic
press Of the State. Some few Old Line edit
ors favor it-others preserve total silence in
regard to it, not SO much as permitting their
readers to know the fact that such an unpara-
lelledl piece of impudence and inconsistency
thus perpetrated- some openly rebel
The New Albany Ledger extracts an article
from paper in this city, and says: "The En-
quirer's article BODIES no good, but fore-shadows
dissension among the Democracy on this vex-
atious question. 1t is useless to disguise the
fact, that upon the Bank question the Demo-
Gratis do diffar.''." And again it says: "For
one we are ready to take issue with the En-
qnirer as -to-the policy Of dispensing with a
State Bank" We shall therefore rely upon
the Ledger as an able auxiliary, in case the
leaders of its party, the very men who secured
the establishment of the new State Bank, en-
deavor ocarry out in the coming canvass the
Spirit Of their late resolution We scarcely
think they will attempt the task of shifting
the responsibility of the establishment of this
Bank from their shoulders. The fret is so fix
ed upon them, that their usual success in
lodging and squirming out of political Difficult
ties can, in this case, scarcely be attained
Besides, so many Of the rascals are now max
ing good use of the new State Bank to line
theirown pockets, that the attempt to discon
meet the Old Line party Of this State from this
Bank law, must prove ridiculous as it is un-
principled. -4t

GFIfany body supposes that editors are
not hard working men, the following list of
labors, from the Rushville Jacksonian, ought
to remove the last trace of skepticism: "For
the last two weeks we have done the rolling,
selected the matter, and wrote the editorials
for the paper, made up ali our mails, carried
the papers to our town subscribers, carried
water, swept out (when there was any sweep
ing done) read four hundred and fifty news
papers, and four chapters in the Bible! In adj
dtion to the above, We have toted wet, sobby,
four foot wood up three pair of stairs, sawed it
and kept up fires; have cut the wood for the
house, worked off five thousand Assessors
blanks, and threatened to kick one man."

FlESD1sH OUrRAGE.-The La Crosse (Wis.)
Democrat states, that short time since bar
barous outrage was committed upon young
girl near Warrants landing on the Mississippi.
A widower, with three grown up girls, has
been endeavoring for some time, to get rid Of
them in marriage. For this purpose he en-
couraged the visits of an Italian at the house
and did what he could to induce his eldest
daughter to have him. She, however, siren
uously refused. Last week the fellow called
and requested few words at the door with
the girl; and when they were alone, he seized
her by the nose, and with a pocket knife cut
it off close up to the bridge. He escaped; his
name is not known.

EMANCIPATION OF SLAVES. "A lady who

Court and the cause shall be tried by jury Of
Shareholders, who shall decide by their verdict
whether the slave shall be set at liberty and
be allowed to remin in the State or not. The
jury in the case yesterday could not agree
They very wisely thought it bad policy to let
so many free negroes loose upon the commu-
nifty. The jury was right. There are al
ready too many free persons of color in New
Orleans for the welfare of our peculiar South

slaves let them remove them out of the State.

Death of Mr. Jas. Roquet.

Our feilowcitizen, Mr.. JAS Roquet, who has
been. several months lingering with the Con-
sumption, died yesterday morning. But a
short time since, he was moving among US,
apparently in robust health, and in the very
prime Of his life, useful member of the COM
munitya surrounded by friends, and with
everything in his present and future to make
life desirable. Yet he babe farewell to all
these fattering things of earth almost without
mlrmur, andcertainly with no complaint
upon his lips, ia Mr.. Roquet was an architect
of fine ability and long experience, and some
of his works are monuments to his memory in
this city He was the architect of the Marine
Hospital in course of erection just below the
city, and now nearly completed. He also bull
the fine Court House recently burnt down
and the model Jail yet standing. He was al
the time of his death, a member of our City
Council Yet after all his labors, his skill and
his industry, he died poor. Others no doubt
made where he should have profted-his oper
hearted generosity impoverished, while the
closer handed around him grew wealthy. Bu
he has gone and peace be with him-his viz
tues be remembered his faults forgotten.

Romance and Pork and Beans.

There are some people who appear to have
no sentiment about them. This was practl'
cally illustrated couple days ago. A young
friend of ours has nice little wife, and is
briskly at housekeeping, but is VIGOROUSLY
forgetfll about attending to the numerous lt-
tie provisionary orders, just as necessary for
happy household as love itself-for people
with well-filled stomachs are always more
inclined to love than the hungry and cold, no
matter if romance and roast beef are incom-
patible in books. Well, the other morning az
ter receiving strict injunctions not to forget
this and that little trihe, and especially some
"meat for dinner' our friend grew sentimen-
tai with the parting endearments. "My DEAR"
he said, "you have not given me that locket
with your likeness in it, which l ought to have
had before marriage" Pie
"Oh, you don't want it-you are only pre-
tending biz
Pretending, dearestl Nay-I promise to
wear it next to my heart till death parts
u.s."
"And will it always remind you"
"Aye, it will always remind me, sweet
one, of our early vows-of my early love-oi
the angel spirit (our friends romantic) guiding
and lighting my pathway"
"But, my dear, will it remind you -
"Yes, dearest one, it will remind me every
time gaze at it, every time press my lips to
it, of the holy love bear its angel original, Q
the deep devotion of a life which is all hers
Of | y9s
"But, my DEAR" interrupted the fond and
happy wife, intent on her one idea; twill it re-
mind you to be sure and get that meat for din
ner." ". I'D
Sentiment and romance drapped, and pork
and beans triumphed.
