THE MATTER SETTLED

BY referring to the doings of Congress on Mon-
day it will be noticed that the osouons proposing
to Mr. Adams have been laid upon the
table forever. The subject had occupied the ouse
for two weeks. Yet, after 80 long time large
portion of the members voted not 10 dismiss the
subject EDery Locofoco membor from the free
States ercept ps uoted aoith their southern brethren
against laying the resolutions on the table This
confirms what have be fore stated, that the north
locos busily engaged in getting up questions
in Congress TO madden the South and then by unit
ing with the South, prevent Congress from doing
any thing for the country. The locos do nothing
else but labor to undo what was done at the extra
session and prevent the Wings from doing any
thing now, and in this they aided by Wise,
Profit, Gi!mer, and half dozen others, who pre-
tend 10 be Wings at home, but who the mere
tools of the ocos in Congress
Ifany one wishes TO know what Congress is do
ing, the true is, that the great majority oil
the Wings there are kept busy in defending them
selves and the country from the combined assaults
Of the Northern ocos and southern slave holders
and nulIifers.
They are met in every progressive step by this
combination. who manifest more OF disposition
to ruin tho country than to do it good.

SHOCKING ATTEMPT AT MURDER.


The Waldo(Me. )SignaI gives us the particulars
of most airocious act which humanity shudders
TO record.
The wife of Joseph Jelison, of Brooks, in this
county, came near being murdered, by having hot
lead poured into her Her husband has been
examined before a Magistrate, but was not recog
nzed to appear at Court. All the material circum
stances which we gather are these: the family
consisted of Mr. Jellison and wife, and three small
children He retired to bed early, and requested
his wife to retire early, saying that he wished an
early breakfast, as he was bound away. She did
not, however, retire until about 10 o'clock Her
husband slept the back side Of the bed and the
bed was against the wall Of the house, and her in
FAINT child was with her. About two o'clock she
was awakened by sensation though her head
was on fire, and screamed. Her husband selzed
hold of her and asked what was the matter, but
whether he from the back side Of the bed For
was on the bed, or was standing beside the bed,
she cannot tell She told him to get some water
and pour into her ear, which relieved her some
what. They sat up together the remaining part oil
the night, she received nothing but kind treatme mt
though no physician sent for. Nothing was
seen by her of any lade shovel, but she found
some pieces of lead in the bed in the morning, and
her neck and shoulder was burnt a little MS also
her child but her ear in the part exposed TO sight,
was not burnt at all. The physicians testified that
the cavity ofthe filled with either lead or
some fusible matter-that it was visible on exami
nation, and that the cavity of the ear was so firmly
filled that they could not remove it with their in
struments, though they had taken out several
pieces
The woman, as may be supposed, has nearly. if
not wholly lost her senses, and whether she will
survive is doubtful. 1t is not probable from her
situation, that she could give very accurate &C
count Of all that TRANSFERRED after her conscousn ess,
and how long it was after the lead was poured in
to her ear before her consciousness returned, no
one can tell. We have before had occasion
to give publicity to such a tale OF horror!

The Louisville Journal gives an account of the
most distressing death of young man Of that city
by hydrophobia, that we have over read: young, am
liable and accomplished, and only few days after
his Marriage he died in all the unuterable agonies
of this dreadful malady. Tho Journal recommends
an indiscnminate slaughter of the whole canine

The TARIFF. We hear with pleasure from
Washington, that another compromise is on foot
in relation to the Tariff, and tina. in all probability
MIR Clay will move in the matter in the course Of a
few days. The plan is to raise the duties which
on the lst of June next will be 30 per cent on the
existing law, TO 80 per cent. This, with cash du.
ties and home valuation, will no doubt prove am.
plo for revenue and at the same time give a new
impulse of confidence TO manufacturers. MIR
Clay will probably make great effort on this sub
