LET DOGS DELIGHT TO BARK AND BITE

LET DOGS DELIGHT TO BARK AND BITE
&c.-The editor of the "Od Dominion
and John G. Rives, ex.edtor of the Globe,
recently had a set.to in Washington, the
particulars, causes, &C., of which, are set
forth as follows, by the "OId Dominion
man:
INFAMOUS AND COWARDLY ASSAULT.
"On coming down to the Osceola, yesterday
morning. then at the wharf in Washington, we
found that John G. Rives, one OF the former
proprietors Of the Globe was awaiting us with q
heavy bludgeon in hand. Having passed and
repsssed him Two or three times, he at last mus
tered courage enough TO accoSt us, and demanded
specifications" as to our reasons for asserting in
certain article published on the 21st April,
that he and his partner possessed not one "gen-
erous sentiment or ennobling thought, to raise
them above the rank Of hogs" As we did not
feel disposed to give our 'reaSons upon compuI.
sion" although they were as plenty as black Der.
res," or to take time TO make out specifications
item by item, he raised his club for the purpose
Of demoshing US, but the overgrown giant found
he had made calculation that could not be car.
rcd out, as we prevented him from dealing his
daslardly blow, by closing in with him, and had
it not been for mschance, we should have de.
filed the waters of the Potomac by throwing him
into them; as it was, the confined deck, the gang
boards being carelessly set in slanting direction
caught our feet, and his overpowering weight
brought US down, when the beast showed his
feline propensites, also, by scratching and at.
tempting to goUge US.
eve have not time to deal more largely with
John G. Rives at this writing, but we assure him
that he shall have Specification" to his heart s
content, and as we learn that he has made the
threat that this matter is not settled, thereby init.
mating that another attempt will be made 10 as.
sassinate US, we give him fair warning that we
shall shortly be in Washington again, that we
shall not avoid him; and that we despise him as
deeply as the coward ought to be held in con.
tempt by all honorable men,"
We feel some interest in hearing the
finale of this "family JAR" or rather
"gouge," but are as Indifferent as to who
comes off conqueror, as the wife was when
her husband and the bear were fighting.

WHITE SLAVERY.

We translate the following from one Of
our latest Paris papers, received by the
Hbernia:
One of the last numbers Of the La Lu
ma paper published in Hungary, contains
the following announcement from Wala-
CHA.
"To be sold, by the sons and heirs of the
late Nicholas Nika, at Bucharest, two hun
bred families-the male members OF which
are, for the greatest part, laborers, lock,
smiths, goldsmiths and musicRns.--Thep pro.
prietor of these families will not dispose OF
them in any smaller lots than those consist
ing OF families, but the price is al least lower
by a ducat per head, than the ordinary es-
tablished rates, and advantageous facilities
Of payment are rendered"
This announcement is not as light at first
be supposed at first sight pleasantly; it is
serious, and what is more, it is legal; for the
Civil Code granted in 1918, by the prince
John Caradecha, to the princpalities Of Mol.
davia and Wallachia, and which is at this
day in full force and vigor, actually sane.

THE JACKSON MEETING.

Public notice was given through the
Democrat and Times for a public meeting
of the citizens Of Howard on the subject
of the death Of Gen. Jackson-to be held
last Saturday. The meeting was organ
lied and committee appointed to draft
resolutions. Maj. T. Jackson was chairman
of the committee, which consisted Of him
self, Lowry and McNair. Mr.. ]. inquired
if the meeting was to be political one, and
on being told il was, declined serving; the
meeting had not been called as party
meeting, and he would not act as a partizan
in the matter. DR.. Lowry resolved him
self into the democratic party, and insisted
that none but democrats should be allowed
to participate in the meeting-and was
backed, SOLITARY and alone" by no less a
parsonage, than the famous William
M'Nar! Messrs. Wright and Jackson
opposed such a course-and Mr. Prewiti
made a few remarks on behalf Of the
Wings. But it would not do. The Wing,
retired disguised, and many democrats
ashamed, and the meeting broke up in {
squabble. A committee, however, wa
appointed to select a Speaker, and thu
meeting adjourned to the 4th. Four dem
ocrats and three Wings were appointed
the committee to select Speaker. Thu
democrats chose their Speaker and Gale,
on The Wings. One of them declined serv
ing with that committee; another consented
10 what had been done; and we do no
know whether the third was consulted OIL
not. The democrats selected T. l.. Belt Il
deliver the Grafton. I'VE issue our pape

This is the first instance, that has com
under our observation, of the numerou
meetings which have been held on this sub
ject. of PARTY politics being introduced an

THE SEAT OF GOVERN MENT.

THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
The Missouri Herald, printed at Jeffer-
son City, few weeks since, had lengthy
article on the subject of the permanent
seat of Government of the State. ltgives
a column of reasons why the seat Of Co.
veanment should not be removed from JEFF
ferson City, none of which we think, prop.
ery, have any thing TO do with the subject.
Under our present constitution, the seat
of government must be located within for
~ miles of the mouth of the Osage-and
the Herald is in favor of retaining this
feature in the constitution. We can see no
good reason for this, but on the contrary,
we think it should not be retained in the
for constitutional provision locating the
seat~of government-and it would be
wrong at this time to fix the seat Of gov
eminent thus permanently. That should
be matter left more open for the action
of the people. If they are in favor OF
having the permanent seat of government
of their State located at Warsaw, Hanni-
bal, ST. Joseph, New Madrid, Boonvie
Brunswick, Fayette, Columbia, or any
where else, let it be so. This, it seems 10
us, would be democratic. Let the ques,
ton remain open for the action of the
people. If they should determine at any
future day to locate the seat of government
at some other point, there should be nc
constitutional impediments.
If the clause in our present constitution
on this subject be retained, for the reason:
given by the Herald, would it not be leg
isIating exclusively for the benefit of the
property holders in Jefferson-and is the
Herald the advocate of this doctrine? The
duty of the members of the convention
will not be to legislate for the exclusive
benefit of the property holders in this oil
that place, but TO so remodel the constitu
ton as as to insure equal rights and privi
leges to all. Our present constitution il
defective in this respect, and it was to rem
edy, not perpetuate the evil, that the con
vention was called.
Tho Herald thinks the subject will no
he agitated much. That paper was the
first to commence its agitation, and the ar
ticle reads very much like interest wa!
prompting the writer TO say what honesty
said should not be said. Almost every
thing that is said favorable to Jefferson car
also be said Of other points-and if i
could not, that is not material. The PEG
pie can dispose of these matters, an(
should be left free.
We have not space to pursue the subjec
further at present. We only desire to cal
the attention of the people and the pres
to the subject. As yet, but little has beer
said on the subject, and but for the fears o.
the Herald, so singularly put forth, it nigh
not have been agitated at all.

TEXAS.

Late dates from Texas bring procla-
nation from President Jones, the substance
of which is, that Mexico having consented
to an amicable and peaceful arrangement
of all difficulties between the countries
and the English and French Texan repre-
sentatives having offered their assistance
in the matter, a treaty of conditions has
been agreed upon, by which Texas is to
remain an independent Government, and
all difficulties to be amicably arranged The
preface to the proclamation concludes thus:
"The circumstances which preceded and led
10 an understanding with Mexico have thus been
stated, and the people, speaking through their
chosen organs, will now determine as they shall
Judge right; but in the meantime, and until their
pleasure can be lawfully and constilutonally
ascertained, it is the duty OF the Executive to
secure to the nation the exercise OF choice be.
tween the alternatives OF peace with the world
and independence, or Annexation and its contin.
gencies.
All hostilities, by land and sea, are to be
suspended until the decision of the people
shall he known. A special session of Con.
gress, to take into consideration the subject
of annexation assembled on the 10th June
A convention of the people to frame Q
constitution, with view to admission into
the Union, was to assemble on the 18th
instant. FS
President Jones is clearly opposed to an.
nexation. But we very much doubt whether
he and the "friendy offices" of the British
and French can prevent the consummation
of that measure. The people of Texas will
embrace "annexation and its contingencies.

PAUPERISM IN ST. LoUIs.-By the Report
of the city Auditor il appears that from the
10th of April / $40 till the iOth of June
l845, the city has paid to support paupers
in the hospital, the enormous sum Of S47,-
83l 81. This immense expenditure should be
materially diminished, but it is most rapidly
increasing. The laws in favor of paupers
if not very prudently and cautiously mana.
ged are apt to operate as premium for dis.
slpation and vice, and hospitals may be con.
verted into an ASYLUM for loafers. In a
country like this, where labor is in demand
and the means of living cheap.-.St. Louis

Of days and full of honors. His country de-
plores his loss, and will ever cherish his

proper business should be suspended at
least for one day in the Executive depart

THE Mission TO ENGLAND--Hon. Louis
McLane, of Baltimore, actually succeeds
Mr.. Everett as Minister to England. We
copy the following from the Baltimore
American Of Tuesday, 18th inst, in rea-
ton to this subject:
Mention was made yesterday of report
that the Hon. Louis McLane, of this city
had been offered the mission 10 the court
of London. The report, we have now
good reason 10 believe, is strictly true, and
we think we may add, with equal certainty
the mission has been accepted. Report,
however, was incorrect. in styling it a
special mission. Mr.. McLane, we have
heard, will take the place of Mr.. Everett,
who is to be recalled and the prominent
matter which the new minister will have
in charge will be the satisfactory and final
adjustment of the Oregon question. Re-
port further says that Mr.. McLane will
depart for London early in the ensuing
month. From the circumstance that he
will go with "leave of absence" from the
railroad company over which he presides
taken in connection with the contemplated
appointment of president pro tempore il
his place, it may be inferred that his resi-
dence abroad will not be protracted. Tha
he may succeed in the early and happy
accomplishment of his important trust
must be the earnest prayer of every gooc
| citizen,

MEXICO.

Late advices from Mexico are Of a
peaceful nature. All idea of war seems
to have subsided-if any in reality ever
existed. Swarms of robbers infest the
country, and robberies take place every
day. The robbers seem to be regularly
organized, and are doing heavy business.
The bands are made up of Santa Annals
old soldiers.
Santa Anna has left the country, and al
last accounts was at Havana, in company
with his wife and two daughters. 1t is
stated that he is on his way to Venezuela.
Santa Anna met at Havana Gen. Bus
tamente, former President of Mexico, anc
Col. Hockey, former member Of the Texas
cabinet, when Houston was President
Bustamente was driven from Mexico by
Santa Anna, and when the Texans took
Santa Anna prisoner, he was placed under
the control of Col. Hockey until he en-
barked at Norfolk. Bustamente is on his
way TO his native country. Col. Hockey
is transacting some business for the Texas
government, and Santa Anna is leaving
forever his native country. A singular
circumstance that they three should thus &C.
cidentally meet. when shall we three
meet again"
A mob fired on and misreated the
French Ambassador at Mexico. The Am,
bassador demanded that the person who
fired on him be shot, and an officer Who
had arrested him without cause to be
cashiered-or his passports. Trouble may
grow out of the affair.
