The Bite Of Drunkard-The Baltimore
Clipper says that Mr.. HIRAM WlLco1, ofDayton,
Ohio, in assisting, about two weeks ago, to take
drunken loafer to Jail, was bit by him on one
OF his fingers. He paid little attention to it, until
few days subsequentit it became swollen and
painful, with every appearance Of erysipelas.--
The ord nary remedies il such cases were applied,
but the inflammation spread rapidly from the hand
to the arm, and finally to the body, growing
worse and, worse until modification put an end
t. his life.

ACHILLES IN HIS TENT.

South Carolina seems to be governed by the
force of great examples. Her ideas are cast in
a gigantic mould and her proud imaginations
carry her back to the age of Heroes. With
singular felicity this chivalrous Commonwealth
has passed beyond the epochs of authentic his
tory into the regions Of poetical romance and
| has chosen its most illustrious hero as model
| by which, for the present, to deniean herself
When the beautiful Briseis was torn from the
arms of her captor and lover, by the unjust de-
cision of Agamemnon, Achilles, burning with
| resentment retired to his tent and withdrew his
forces from the contest. We are told "neither
prayers, nor entreaties, direct offers of re-
Cancellation, couched in the most tempting and
| fiatterlng terms, could induce him to return to
the field" A restoration of his prize formed
| the condition of his reunion with the Grecian
| host. This being complied with, the warrior,
! clad in celestial armour returned with his myr-
| midons. to avenge the slaughter of his beloved
| Patroclus.
The reader must be already struck with the
similarity between the sulky chieftain in his
tent and the present attitude of the empire of
South Carolina" Slavery has not been, accor-
ding to her naughty demands, imposed upon
moiety Of the Mexican territory Consequent
ly her portion of the spoils of war has been
rayished from her, and by an irrvoleable settle
ment otherwise disposed of. Though Democrat
ic in her politics, she in consequence, refuses to
cooperate with that party, and ''neither prayers
nor entreaties" can prevail upon her to change
her Indignant resolution.
Brlseis must be restored. But alas Briseis
has been given to another, and an immutable
Compromise prevents her restoration
How long this sullen mood will endure, we
cannot foretell-but for all time, we suppose,
unless some new wrong shall summon her to the
business Of revenge. For the hateful Compro-
mise is likely to become conspicuous element
in the Democratic platform of 1852.

total abasement of her dignity as a sovereign
State. How, then, could she sue in this case
We shall pursue the subject.

OREGON.

1t appears that serious difficulties have arisen
IN Oregon between the Assembly of that terri
tory and the officers of the Federal Govern
ment. The following are the principal facts Of
the case as stated by a correspondent of the Ma,
tional lntelligencer. 1t seems that the Assem-
bly, last winter passed law changing the seat
of Government from Oregon city to Salem.
Gov. Gaines declined recognizing this law as
Valid and was sustained in his position by a
majority of the Supreme Court of the Territory,
who decided, one Judge dissenting, that Ore
gon city was the legal seat of government. A
majority of the Assembly refused to abide by
this decision, met at Salem and remained there
in sessiontwo months. The minority, together
with the Governor and majority of the Judi
ciary, assembled at Oregon city. GA good deal
Of bitterness and strife, (says the writer,) has
arisen in consequence of these conflicting
views. The Assembly party, which is COM
posed principally of Democrats, seek to make
head against the Government officers as Wings,
and to attribute to them and to their acts all the
difficulty that has ensued. The officers and
judges are denounced as tyrants, oppressors,
usurpers public robbers, and swindlers, with a
freedom and spontaneous boiling over of often
siVe epithets peculiar to that school of contro-
yersialists.''
The Assembly has memoriaized Congress on
the subject. They demand thatthe present ter
ritoral government be dissolved as incompati-
bic with the peoples rights, and hope for no
better conduct on the part of any appointees of
the Federal Governments; they pray for the
right to elect their own Governor, Secretary and
Judges they have provided for Convention of
the people to form State constitution, in the
event that Congress shall fail to grant their me-
mortal at the present session"
