Wednesday Morning, March 30,1853.

Trouble in the Democratic Camp. We notice from our various democratic exchanges, that elements of discord are now arising among the democracy of Indiana, -which bid fair to make sad inroads upon the harmony of the party. The election of Mr. Pettitto the U. S. Senate, defeating the faction beaded by Senator Bright, seems to have given great discontent to one wing of the party and voce which, the action of the Governor of the State, upon some of the acts of the legislature, has given mortal offence to others, who now openly attack the Governor through the newspapers within their reach. We do not know what will be the result of this warfare. We believe the locofoco papers of the State are about equally divided, and a hard fight is in prospect. 8aid papers are also divided in their views of the new banking system, which will lend particular piquancy and interest to the combat now on hand.

Among the acts for which the Governor is arraigned, in, first, his vetoing the bill for the re-location of the county scat of Clay, which was afterwards passed, over the veto. On the other side of this question, however, we understand. that all the male children for the next year, who may appear near BowlingGreen, will be named "Joseph," and all the females are to be known by the cognomen of "Josephina"—so well pleased are the people in that quarter, witli the veto message of the Governor.

The Comitilssiongrs to make this re location are to meet some time in April in the mean time however, an injunction will be had, or tried in the Circuit Court of Clay, now in session, to prohibit proceedings herein. We cannot guess at what may be the result.

The second offence charged against the Governor by his own party is, his vetoing the bill authorising suits to be brought against the State, which bill was finally lost by the sue ccssful dodging of those wjiose duty it was to net. promptly upon the veto. This, they failed to do, and now the democratic papers are taking sides, and abusing each other as much as they do the Governor. We suppose the strongest will be the victors, though neither side will ever acknowledge themselves whipped. Too much game, for that.

The third offence charged against the Governor is, his veto of the bill appointing one J. W. Cummins, of Madison, (supposed to be strongly in the Bright interest,) as agent to overhaul and straighten the accounts between the Stato and United States, concerning the three per cent, fund, by which veto, the said Cummins thinks himself chiseled out of an armful of money! And tho said Cummins, democrat as ho is, has attacked the Governor in along article over his own name, in a paper at the State Capital, in which he shows that he takes a very commendablo interest in his mush and milk. All these matters mixed and mingled, with the democratic papers from the centre to the circumference 6trongly taking sides, and the whig papers dropping in on eitherside, as they wish,all this will likely afford a fino field for tho summer's discussion, to be wound up with bruised bones or broken noses, as tho belligerants thereafter meet, and wish to work off their superfluous stock of steam. Wo area spectator merely, and will bo enabled to give an impartial account of tho progross of the war. _____________

Law Making.—In looking over tho laws of tho recent sossion of the Legislature, now in course of publication by tho Journal and Sentinel at Indianapolis, we note the following

Township Assessors are to bo allowed $1,50 for each day's services in assessing, and they nro to return a list of tho whito male inhabi tants, of their scvernl townships, over 21 years of age, by the 1st day of June.

Those having improvements on tho Swamp Lands of tho State, have tho right of private entry at $1,25 per aero, before tho day of sale.

There is, perhaps, to boa larger busines done in the Stato Peniteutiary, as the Governor is authorised to contract for tho erection of an additional number of cells! Every bee roust have his (its) cell.

Five thousand dollars for each year, (1853, and 1854,) are to be appropriated for the pur pose of Colonisation.

The Courts of Common pleas for Vigo, (Judge A. Kinney,) are authorised to be held four times a year, to-wit :-on tho first Mondays of January, April, July and October, and may continue at each term four weeks, if tho business require it.

There has been many amendments made to the law of Juno7th, 1852, in relation to the settlement of decedent'* estates.

Twenty-Jive thousand dollars have been appro priated for printing and binding the Revised Statutes—public printing and bindingJlO.OOO.

Justices of tho Peace how havo all the powers, and may perform all the duties of Coroners, in relation to holding inquests. Note this, Messrs. Esquires,

We suppose the legal publications of the laws in newspaper form, will now soon bo finished, ntoftt of which wo have filed for general reference

Santa Asa.—It seems from a letter, published in the Courier dt* E/aU Unu, New York, ("hat Santa Anna was at last dates still quietly living in Turbaco, about six leagues from Carthagena. It is said that he lives upon the fat of the land his business being that of a broker and his amusements consisting of horseback exercise, cock fighting and cards. His capital is stated to be very great, and rapidly increasing under his shrewd management.

SiNOUtA* HistoaiCAi. Fact.—Sir Walter Raleigh was the first discowwr of the value of the potatoe as a food for maw. One day he ordered a lot of dry weeds to be collected and burnt Among these was a lot of dried potatoes. After the bonfire, these potatoes were picked up thoroughly roasted. Sir Walter tasted and pronounced them delicious. By this accident was discovered a species of food which has saved millions of the human race from BUrva Uon

0* lei taking the bills of the Free TUnrs of this State and Illinois, see that they are registered and eounUrsigood by the Stat* And iters and Registers. Such bills are in accordance with the law, and stocks are pledged for their redemption and solvency. KTtthost this sign upon the face of any new bank bill, beware.

£T Goffte leaort are recommended instead of the ute of the berry, because they are cheaper

Trader's Bank*-*-3,

We understand Mr. McCollom, of Hew York, is now in this place, making arrangements to commence banking afc this point at an early day. His safe, books, Ac., we believe, have been here for some t-iroe past. •,?

This gentleman has a banking establishment at Danville, Ills., which we understand, enjoys a good reputation, having been in business there for BOinetime past. The Danville Citizen, of a late date says: "The Trader's. Bank (at Terre Haute) will be managed by the principal stockholder of the Bank in this place, which we consider a sufficient guarantee to the public that its affairs will be fairly and properly conducted. "Mr. M'Colloro is a thorough business man, well acquainted with banking in all its ramifications, and is a clever ana accommodating gentleman, and during his short visits to our town has, by his courtesy and suavity of manner, won the good will of all who have had the leasure of his acquaintance. We bespeak for „im and his bank, the confidence and patronage of the citizens of the Prairie City. It is his intention to do a legitimate banking business in Terre-Haute, and we trust he will not find men there mean enough to buy up his paper for the sake of making one per cent."

There are two sides to the last paragraph quoted. Banks, generally, make all they can, and if they suffer their bills to be at a discount, every individual has an undoubted right to make what he can on bank bills, like any other property. To avoid this, let all banks keep their bills at par. Mean indeed It is as fair business to make money in that way as to trade in pork, dry goods, or town lots so we think.

O" Last Friday was Good Friday, the day on which the Savior of mankind was crucified by the Jews, according to the Church chronicles and calendar. It is the day also spoken of as the proper time for sowing flaxseed-.— We do n#t know why this is so, except, as Christ was crucified on said day, it makes it a proper time to prepare for carrying out one of his benevolent commands—clothe the naked which cannot be done without sowing the seed that produces the cloth for the garment.

Last Sabbath was £aster Sunday, the anniversary of the resurrection and ascension, and closed the 40 days of Lent. This is a prorni nent Church festival, more especially in all Catholic couutries. Lent begins at Ash Wednesday and closes at Easter. The word "Lent," means spring so called, perhaps, from being observed in that season of the year Lentile is a plant which may have been the principal food of the Christian Church in early times in the old countries during this fast, or perhaps it may relate to their clothing, as lint is flax, from which comes our lint-seed or flaxseed.

We do not know why or how colored eggs became connected with Easter during Lent, however, eggs make a prominent part of the food for the 40 days of fasting, on which oc ca8iot8, we believe fish is considered not flesh. We don't account for that either.

O" The Alton Telegraph says the prospects of the Terre-Haute and Alton Railroad are very flattering. That paper says: "The counties of Montgomery, Shelby, Edgar and Coles, havo respectively issued their bonds in pay ment of their subscriptions of stock, and have placed them in the hands of Tfustees, to be paid over, as tho installments are called in by the Company. The three first installments already called in, making a total amount of $110,000, were paid over to Mr. Davis, (the attorney for the road.) The road from TerreHaute to the Embarras river, with all the heavy work at that point, is all under contract to responsible and energetic parties, and will be pushed through as rapidly as possible."

(Lr The Ilockville WAiy reports a flght between two boys of eight years—Call and Mankin, aud as Call was getting tho better of the other, Mankin'a little sister interfered for her brother, and with a stick of stove wood, crushed the skull of the little Call in a shocking manner. Children are born with clenched fists, and commence fighting as naturally as a duck, or an alligator takes to water.

HjT Michael McNally, an Irishman, was recently murdered near Madison, Ind., by his half-dozen comrades, over a disputed game of cards. .7

O* Two panoramas havo been in town within the last week one at the Methodist Church, and one at Smith's Hall. We believe that rivalry for the public custom was so strong between the two, that each considered the other "a daub," and fiually left without positively deciding the vexed question. A brisk time among the ranopamas.

U" Mr. Irving, who was hero some years ago with a band of delightful minstrels, now h«s a singing class in the Town H»". If he imparts bis own powers to his class, ho will tur» *ut an interesting lot of adepts in the handsome accomplishment—hope he may.

O* This week will clear the ground for the now block, to go up opposite PhoBnix row, on Wabash street. The old buildings will fill vacant places on various streets, and soon be ten anted, paying good rente. No Bort of a house has any chance for solitude

in Terre-Haute

O* As an evidence of the little interest our people take in holding office, an election was ordered for a Councilman from the 3rd Ward, on Saturday last, and but one voter attended, who was not counted. Here was a virtual repudiation of twelve dollars a year, in clean cash, done in clod blood. We should dislike to intimate tint there is any lack of patriotism in Terre-Haute, but this looks like it. We suppose it will be tried again, without the 3rd ward indicates that it is satisfied with one member of the Board of Common Council.

Xikm.—We regret that oar eottfespondent, 'Miuoe," (the little man,) has closed bis articles upon the early history of this part ofthe country, for tbey possessed much interest, and were well said. We hope soon to bear from him again, npon tbe same, or other similar sutyecu. History is always interesting

The Township Election onMonday *ext The sovereigns of Vigo have as little desire fof office as any inhabitants of the State in fact, they seem so careless that we almost fear the wheels of the State government may be stopped, for want of material to fill the offices. We are now within a few days of the election,and so far, not a single individual has advertised himself as a candidate for public favor at the polls, while in other counties, we notice strings of candidates, all anxious for votes. On Monday, we have to eleet three township trustees, who have charge of most every public matter of the towhship, and receive a dollar a day for their services, also, a township Clerk and Treasurer, who arc paid by the trustees also four constables for the township, and perhaps a magistrate or two, if any vacancies are made before the election arrives. Among all these offices we know of no one who is very desirous to take any of the said duties upon himself— rather a singular state of affairs in a free country, and a country too, where people do not. like work more than they ought to.

What shall be done in such a case Will no one show his patriotism as a volunteer

on the

occasion, rather than suffer the election to pass off without returning a single officer? We hope so, indeed.

In a conversation among some gentlemen in our office, on Monday morning last, upon this subject, it was said, and generally admitted, that any three of the following citizens would make first rate township trustees. If it will aid in concentrating public opinion, we suppose we are at liberty to give their names, towit: Lucius Ryce, R. W. Thompson, John F. King, John F. Cruft, Charles T. Noble, Wm. K. Edwards—we do not know that any of them would serve, if elected. There are doubtless many others who would attend closely to said duties, if elected—why don't they show themselves? U-JS* i'HT"

The Axe Busy. -f'

We understand that of one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty clerks employed in the Census Office, all were, yesterday, dismissed except «umc half dozen.— Washington Republic, of March 522.

Wc think the powers that be need not make an epO demic of this matter. If they had any bowels of compassion they would not turn folks adrift so much faster than they can find places to lay their heads.

We hear from Washington, by some who have recently taken a pilgrimage to that political Mecca of tlieir hopes, and returned with saddened prospects, that the scene of office begging surpasses all human conception. The President and beads of Departments are beleagured at all times, and cannot move in any direction without being surrounded by the ruthless cormorants. The democracy have been of the outs for a number of years, and are as hungry and as ravenous as famished wolves I Of course, in such scrambling, the worthy are likely to be overlooked, and the offices given to the impudent and importunate. We would rather "bay the moon" for a livelihood.

ICT Gen Walker has the post-office At Lafayette, Indiana. He was turned out once, and is now turned in again. J. P. Chapman is worrying with the powers at Washington for the Indianapolis office, and his stock is said to be "rising." It is unfortunate that there are so few offices to fill when so many are in so great need of a place. We have no late news as to the prospects of Messrs. Jones, Cornwell and Otey, aspirants for the post office at this place. We hear that tho fight widens, deepens and thickens. Two must be disappointed, if nothing worse.

Well Paid.—Theconsulship to Liverpool is put down in the Blue Book at $40,000. Gen. Pierce has recently given the place to Nathaniel

Sign of the big fiddle, Prairie City block, Wabash Street, South side, over the Store ofWhidden «k Price. See their card— call and examine.

We can't conceive why Sol. Turman wishes to sell, (his paper,) unless he is on track of a fat office from Gen. Pierce's Administration.— If so, we wish him success.—South Bend Reg.

So do we wish him every success, and hereby commend him as consul for Turk's Island, Bergen, Porsgrund, River Djeb, or San Juan, (whaun.) Which will you take, Col.?

ICT Of the late liquor law, the Brookville American holds the following language We hope no one will ever christen it as a temperance law, or call it a law passed by the friends of temperance. It is the drunkard's law. Of this, there can be no mistake—not such a law as thoy ought to have, but just such an one as drunkards want, and such as they have passed. Temperance men wish to prohibit the sale of alcohol, and save men from drinking. This law provides for selling Itselling it cheap, selling it everywhere.

ICT It is put down in the papers that John L. Robinson, recently a member of Congress from tbe 3d district, is to be the IT. S. Marshal for Indiana, in place of S. Meredith.

ILr The liabilities of the Bank at ifest Smilingly, Conn., (recently barsted) are put down at $133,600—assets $65,000, some of which are in doubtful stocks so,,.it may pay 30 cents to the dollar.

A willful neglect to defend the constitution would have been, on tbe part of any other President, perjury but President Pierce can be guilty of such neglect without perpetrating that fearful crime.—Louisville

Personal.—A good story is told of a recent interview between Col. Benton and President Pierce. The Colonel expressed himself highly gratified at the result of the election, and was desirous to support the new Administration but he told the President that he had one man in his Cabinet who would make him ridiculous—"a perfect nondescript—neither one thing nor the other." The General inquired what gentleman of his Cabinet had been so unfortunate as thus to incur his displeasure. The Colonel named Mr. Cushing, and launched out into a repetition of his epithets, which I have given not exactly in his words, but as nearly bo as would be strictly proper closing by saying that he was the only man on earth who seemed to have been created for the express purpose of being a Tyler man. The President heard his formidable objurgation to the end, and quietly remarked to the Colonel that he had been delighted, on reaching Washington, to find so many gentleman, who were quite indifferent as to his election, exceedingly solicitous concerning the welfare of his Administration.—iV.

The complaint of the former government was that live hun dred troops of the latter had crossed into the territory of Honduras, dispersing the population, violating the women, ana driving those who could not escape to seek safety in the mountains.

The connection of a complete Book and Job OJSce with our Blank Book Mannfaetortf, Gives us a decided advantage, not possessed by any other establishment in the State, as we can do the Printing for our Binding, and the Binding for our Job Office, both descriptions of work being done in the same office, in alike superior manner, and under the supervision of the same Foreman. 93- Additions have been made to the number of hands in our employ, and the patrons of our establishment may henceforth rely upon having their orders filled with a degree of promptness heretofore unknown. ]T7» Especial attention will henceforth be given to Re-Binding, and separate hands will be kept on that description of work alone.
