MIR. McDUFFIE IN BALTIMORE.
The distinguished and intrepid Re.
preventative from South Carolina, the
Hon. George McDuflie, arrived in this
city on Saturday afternoon, on his re.
turn to Washington, from Philadelphia,
where he had been detained for some
days previous by indisposition. He
was met at the steamboat by large
concourse Of our citizens, by whom he
was escorted 10 the City Hotel, ut

one who was made the dupe of a set of
reptiles about him, who were practis.

selfish aims, and who were rushing
him headlong upon that fate, in which

friend or adherrnt in ii land in which
but few years ago he was proclaim
ed its Chief Magistrate by thousands
upon thousands of well disposed hearts.
He spoke Of this reptile crew around

last six months, and showing that they
were of the very essence Of tyranny
and usurpation, Gin which expos I on

appropriate thereto, nc quoted the
words Of Richard III.
"Now is the winter Of our discomfort

was received with repeated bursts OF
applause.

dent was already deserted by many of
those States which had heretofore CIV

that he was now drawing near to the
last act Of the drama. He said that the
Tvrant was now in the situation OF
Richard just before the fatal field OF
Bosworth, when his trembling messen-
gers came to him one after another,
announcing the desertlon of his fol-
lowers.
