AN OBSTINATE ANIMAL. A knowledge
of the habits Of animals is sometimes of
great service, even the saving of cites.-
James, in his recent history of the Black
Prince, gives an amusing instance of this,
in the defence of Rennes, a town of Brit
fanny, besieged by the Duke of Lancaster.
In order to effect the surrender of the
place, the Duke enforced strict blockade
which soon reduced the garrison to great
straits; but he knew they would hold out
to the last extremity, and he determined
TO try trick of war. For this purpose he
drew off his soldiers, as if he had left the
place, and formed an ambuscade in some
bushes behind the town. He then caused
a number of hogs to be let loose on the
plain, in the hope that the starving garri-
son would rush out for the prize. But
they understood the trick, and turned it to
their own advantage. They opened the
sally ports and hung up young SOW to
the Intel. She, of course, made q great
cutlery, and the hogs came rushing up to
the place from whence the noise proceed
ed she was then cut down and driven
through one Of the streets, and forced to
keep up her music. The soldiers sprang
up from the ambuscade, in order to try,
ana II possible, prevent this unlocked for
termination of their experiment; but James
says, " the hogs with that intuitye perccp-
ton OF the way their masters do not wish
them to go, which has ever marked their
nature, went unanimously into the town,
and afforded the garrison very seasonable
relief

JUSTUS BROWNS ES,

true cory of rccorl
OF An, JVNtN pprc,.- 'r.-...--
The Yazoo Democrat., 1845-11-26

which we have alluded, we quote with
pleasure the following just sentiments from
the French journal in New York, the
" Courier des Etats Unis." They are en-.
titled to the more consideration, as the SEN
timents of a comparatively disinterested
third party.
"I.et not the Americans" says the Cour-
rier, "bc deceived. All that England
wishes, all that she aims at in presenting
this proposition, is to gain time. OF what
interest to her is a sgOurn Of a fsO gears
in OREGON? What she desires is a per-
monent poSjtion on the Pacific shore Of the
American contiaents. We may rest as.
sured that she will not risk the chances OF
this hazardous proposition, unless she counts
on the new elements which the lapse Of
twenty years cannot fail to bring into the
question, and, if need be, ON the '0cigM q
her gold scattered By haadstM IN Oregon
to incline in her faUOr the doubtful balance
of decision, when the honor of decision
shall sound"
How much these considerations are en-
phacisep by the presence and the agency In
that region of the great corporate organl'
cation to which we have alluded, is but toe
manifest. We hold, with the Courier, tha
such a proposition from England can b'
no more than a proposition to gain time
And now we say, once for all, that VIZ
know of no evidence whatever that am
such proposition has been, or will be- sub
mitted by the British government.
Meantime, the question must come up II
the next Congress, "What shall we do II
relation to our citizens id Oregon 7" AM
we have no doubt that the patriotism
Congress will answer, in view of all tn
facts-recognse them, protect them, estab
lish communication with them, and extern
to them participation of our own FIRE.
REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT.

Gov. BRowN AND J. E. MATTHEWS
Eso.-It must be peculiarly gratifying to
these faithful, efficient and accomplished
servants of the people, to know that their
past services, and devotion to the public in
terest are duly appreciated. The election
of theformer almost by acclamation, and
the latter by an overwhelming majority,
demonstrate clearly that the various char
ges made against them of collusion and
administration, have fallen upon the
public ear Gas the idle wind which they
heed not" Those who have been so buis-
sy in prefering them, must now be satisfied
that they were regarded "as stale and un-
profitable" and will henceforth cease their
idle clamor.
We candily believe that the present au-
ditor of public accounts is one OF the most
efficient and faithful officers that has ever
presided over that department, and it is true,
tits pity, he has been the subject Of more
slander and misrepresentation, than any
ether public officer. These functionaries
are not singled out from the other State
officers because they possess a higher de-
gree of merit-but because they have been
more villifed than any others,I land their re-
cent triumphant reelection amply vindi'
Gates both, their public and private worth
for we firmly believe that corrupt men will
not be sustained long by the public voice
If their depravity, either in public or private
acts is manifest.

THE NEXT SESSION OF CON
GRESS.


1t generally conceded that the result'oi
the deliberations. of the approaching ses'
sion of Congress will exert a more PrOmi-
nent and important influence upon the pros
perity, or, perhaps destiny of the country,
than any that has convened sincelel2.
The measures that will demand deliber-
alton and adjustment, Of both foreign and
national character, are exceedingly iMEPor-
tant to the future peace and interest Of the
whole country. The final action upon the
annexation of Texas will excite perhaps a
greater degree of interest than any other,
except the modification of the Tariff. The
result of the Presidential election in which
that measure was made one of the main
issues, it is evident should have caused all
parties, and every portion of the Union to
have acquiesced in it quietly, and without
a murmur, but if we regard the sentiments
90 boldly expressed and fercely proclaimed
by the resolutions promulgated at a late
Convention in Massachusetts,, violent and
desperate resistance will be made to the
consumation Of that measure, which is
generally esteemed as one of the most i'm
portant and vital that has marked the hisiQ-
tory of the country. No serious aPPre-
tensions however need, we hope be enter
tanned of its prevention. The voice Ofthe
naiion " expressed in terms not to be mis-
understood" requires an unequivocal as
sertion and maintenance Of its rights 70
Oregon. No lemPerising or conciliatOry
pOlicy will afford satisfaction to the public
mind, and none need be feared. The Pres
idsnt in his inaugural clearly indicated the
polcy his administration would adopt and
pursue, and the whole history Of his public
lie is an ample guarantee, that "there will
beno rariableness nor shadow ofturniRg" in
him, in faithfully performing the high du-
ties and responsibilities be bas assumed To

THE TRIUMPH OF. DEMOCRACY.

The great political battle is over. The
revivifying sun of democracy shines forth
in mild and brilliant VICTORY. 1t is what
the orthodox in principle had right to an.
ticipate from the indomitable courage ofthe
republican soldiers. The reports of the
gallant commanders of the different battal-
ions throughout the state, are nearly all
received, and the result of the contest in.
dicates increased strength in the democrat
ic ranks. Compared with the vote ofl643,
it shows an increased majority of some
FOUR thousand. Mississippi once more
stands out in bold relief the champion Of
true and pure democratic principles, despite
the unworthy efforts of few disafected
spirits. We read with the most heartfelt
satisfaction, in the present success, meri-
ted rebuke of all extraneous issues attemted
to be forced into the canvass. In it too,
we find an approving verdict of the princi-
pies, policy and measures of the national
administration, as exhibited in the renewed
vigor with which the sentiments Of its pub
lie advocate have been sustained by the
mighty voice of the people.
We feel proud in congratulating the
democracy of this state upon the glorious
achievement of so signal triumh. But
while we give utterance to this sentiment
we must not neglect to award to our gal
liant adversaries the praise due to brave
and honorable action, though OverpOwereC
by superior strength and numbers. The
democratic soldiers of Mississippi are truly
stern and unyielding. They never will
give up the ship of state so long as men o
worth and principle can be found to mar
it. They are resolved, now and for the
time to come, to wearther all the storms o.
battle, and untarnished by discontinue Or
defeat, to present the sacrifice of their un.
bought sufrages on the altar Ofrepublican
liberty. Let all true men, then, rally
around her. She shall adorn our temples
consecrate our trusts and inspire our la.
bors for the amelioration OF mankind. The
true spirit still animates our people and
the young men, filed with reverence foI
the great principle of their fathers, are
proud to do battle in their defence. Boldly
have we met the measures sanctioned BY
our adversaries-and strongly have we
condemned the iniquitOus tariff, which rem.
ders one portion Of the people subordinate

The detention of the Maria made it inn
possible thatshe could remain for more than
a few minutes and reach Memphis in time
for the Convention; and on this account
Mr.. Calhoun did not come on shore as an
ticipated. A large crowd, however, rush.
