The WESTERN DEMOCRATS were extremely in.
dignant at the conduct Of eight Southern Demo-
Gratis in voting for the Wing candidate for the
Clerkship. Mr.. Wood of Ohio, the moment the
vote YVES announced, arose and said
a lie was extremely gratfed that the Southern
Democrats bad shown their true principles and
position in the result Of the last ballot that he
felt relieved and that dissolution Of all politi-
cal connection between the Northern and South

Soon after, while nominations were being made
for the office Of Sergeant-at-Arms, he arose and
remarked
"That he rose for the purpose of nominating
another stakeholder as a candidate for Sergeant

could not find one who did not either hold an of
fee or who had not already been nominated and
that he would be compelled to sit down without

DEPORTATION or SLAVES INTO MARYLAsD.-Mr.
Harris, of st. Mary's CO., has introduced bill
In the Legislature of Maryland to repeal all laws
prohibiting the importation of slaves into the
State. The Baltimore Sun says
6, This extraordinary movement will require
somewhat stronger arguments to establish Its sx-
pediency and propriety than any that occur to us,
in view Of IL.
AS slave State, Maryland owes 1t to the cit
liens Of the South to rssiprooate privileges indis
ponsable TO mutual convenience. But several Of
the Southern States have established restrictions
Of kindred character TO ours; and IL Is n fact,
that, while they work bat little Inconvenience
they prove source Of great advant,g 70 the
people in view Of the increasing unproductive-
ness Of slaveia The course proposed by Mr..
Harris is so decidedly in conflict with progressive
principles, that we Hre little surprised to find
popular representative in such An attitude For
Maryland TO entertain such n project Is prepos-
terous.p

TIE kzARiNESS nF DEER.

The deer is the most acute animal we pos
sess, and adopts the most sagacious plans for
the preservation of its life. When it lies,
satisfied that the wind will convey 10 il an
intimaton of the approach Of lis pur3uer, j,
sazes in another direction. If there are aGy
wild birds, such as curlews or ravens, in lis
vicinity, it keeps its eye intently fixed on
them, convinced that they will give it a time
" alarm. Ii selects its cover with the great
est caution, and invariably chooses an emi-
nence from which it can hayea view around,
1t recognizes individuals, and permits the
shepherds 10 approach H. The stays at Tor
napress will suffer The boy to go within 20
yards of them, but if attempt 10 encroach
upon them they are of atonce. A poor man
who carries paals in creel on his back here
may go cheek by jowl'' with them; but |
put on his pannier the other day, and attempt

away like anteopes, An eminent deerstalker
told me the other day of plan one OF his
keepers adopted TO kill wary stag. This
animal had been known for years, and occu-

taken possession of the invaders horses, ar
additional booty, and removed them out oi
the way.
AT the moment that the captain of Bew-
castle and his men made the discovery OF
their real situation, loud shout OF laugh
ter arose from the battlements of the tower,
when the hapless invaders, looking up, dis
covered Barnhill and his men looking down
upon them, quietly enjoying their dilemma,
and in rapturcs with the success OF the con-
trivance which had brought them into it !;
for they were, in truth, now like as many
rats in trap.
We wish, for The credit Of Barnhill, that
the story had finished in the same spirit OF
humor in which it begins, and with which
it is marked throughout; but we are sorry
TO say this is not the case. Reversing the
usual conduct Of dramatic exhibitions, Barn
hill gives us, on this occasion, at any rate,
tragedy after farce. When that fierce Bor-
derer and his men had exhausted their mirth,
and the joke of the captured invaders had
become stale, these terocious outlaws might
be seen coolly preparing, even with the
smile yet on their faces, to finish IN blood
what had begun in laughter and glee.--
Bows might now be seen stringing in all
directions, on the top of the tower, and
deadly shafts fitting TO the cord. We need
hardly say what followed. The unhappy
captives were deliberately shot at from the
battlements, in the midst of as much fun,
and frolic, aud witty jest, as if they had
been a.herd of deer, until the last man had
fallen, when the outlaws, rushing down
with swords in their hands, completed The
work of death which the arrow had lett un-
fnishcd--and thus periShcd the captain OF
Bewcastle and his men.

JEANETTE AND JEANNOT.

The following song is ell the rage in Paris
The words are by Charles leffreys:--
You are going far away,
Far away from poor Jeanette;
There is no one left to love inc now,
And you, too, may forget:
But my heart will be with you, ..
Wherever you may go;
Can you look me in the face,
And say the same, Jeannot ?
When you wore the jacket red,
And the beautiful cockade,
Oh, fear you will forget
All the promises you made;
With the gun upon your shoulder,
And The bayonet by your side.
You'll be taking some proud lady,
And making her your bride.
Or, when glory leads the way,
You'll be madly rushing on,
Never thinking if they kill you,
That my happiness is gone
II win the day, perhaps,
A General you'll be,
Though | am proud to think Of that
What will become of me
Oh, il were Queen of France,
Or, still better, Pope Of Rome,
| would have no fighting men abroad,
No weeping maids al home
All the world should be at peace,
Or, if Kings must show their might,
Why, lei them who make the quarrels
Be the only men TO fight
