We know that this scheme not only involves an
infracton of the Constitution but you Id result in
nothing practicable to the benefit the State. Mr.
Osborne has 4 queer way Of showing his devotion
to the good old North, when he lauds a Bill which
given to little State, who paid nothing towards
the acquisition of these lands, or tt mes as much
as North Carolina would get, who contributed more
than her share towards that purchase.
We are confident when the intelligent voters OF
this District have read this Bill, they will agree
with us regarding it as adding insult to INJURY.
But suppose you were to elect Mr.. 0. do you tor
moment think he could force this Bill through a
Democratic Congress-COngress composed Of men
who were sent there to watch and guard the inter
ests of their constituency! 1t could not receive
respectable vote and ifit should pass, General
Pierce by a resolution of the late Baltimore Con-
vention is pledged to veto it. Then this is not a
practical question and should have no weight in
the election lit was brought forward to make cap
ita and unless we have estimated the intelli-
gence of our people, will signaly fail.

PETERSBURG, June 2. 1858.
By the request of DR.. ] Ohm Bragg, post mortem
examination this day held upon the body of his
daughter, child between five and six years of age,
who died under symptoms of aggravated inflammation
of the stomach and bowels. jul investigation
revealed mucous and peritoneal inflammation through
the whole of the Intestinal canal accompanied by ex-
tensive adhesions, alterations and perforaton. On
reaching the junction of the small and large ntestnes
there discovered the undoubted cause of all this
extensive disease. The intestine had there taken on
adhesive inflammation, nearly entirely closing the
nal and this disconsolated mass perforated through
and through by liberation. in the midst of which we
found large pin covered with the connections form
ed about it during its passage through the bowels,
with the exception of about eighth of an inch of
its pointed extremity.
Comment upon this case is unnecessary, wheth-
TO show The importance of such examinations in
medical point of view, the consolation which may
often be derived from them.

Death OF RIcsard Henrr Lee.

It's with extreme regret that we an
nounce the death of RICHARD HENRY
LEE, editor of the Commercial. Mr..
LEES connection with the Press and
residence in this city have been of very
short duration, yet they have been suf-
fcient to enable him to make troops of
friends. His uniform kindness and
gentlemanly courtesy have attached
him to all his acquaintance, who will
deeply regret his untimely death.
Mr.. Lee was a native of Kentucky,
where he has resided the greater part
of his life. At one time he was editor
of the Maysville Eagle, which he con-
Quoted with spirit and ability. He be-
came connected with the Commercial
about the beginning of the year. and in
its editorial chair has acquitted himself
with high credit. His wife and part
of his family are at present in Paris; a
daughter was with him when he died.
He was seriously III only few days.

ARecommcndaIion for omce.

The Knickerbocker for July contains
a number of specimens of letters from
ofice-seekers and their friends. We
copy one from Mr.. Twist to Governor
Marcy, on behalf of gentleman who
is ready at any moment to die for his
country and a fat Office:
"The bearer, Martin Van Buren
Phips, is an applicant for some easy
Office, and, l am happy to say, is an
out-and-out Democrat. He voted for
Van Buren in 40, for Polk in IA, and
in '48, being somewhat puzzled with
the claims of the contending factions,
polled two votes, one for Van Buren
and one for Mr.. Cass, evincing a spirit
of Cancellation and high-toned princi-
pies which puts to the blush all other
compromise measures. Mr.. Phips, l
can truly say, is an active, energetic,
and industrious Democrat, but is unable
to discharge very many outdoor duties,
as he is suffering under physical disa-
bility, having, some two years since,
sprained his ankle badly. The circum-
stances attending this physical disability
may not be uninteresting, as Illustrative
of the sterling Democracy inherent in
the man. They are these: He was
engaged with some young Democrats
raising hickory pole They had ac-
comphshed their object, and young
Phips determined to place the stars and
stripes upon the top of the pole. For
this purpose he commenced climbing;
but, alas! having arrived at the dizzy
height of ten feet, the pole gave way,
and he was hurled miserably upon the
earth, with severe confusion upon the
feshy part of theleg, and with his left
foot sprained terribly. Apparently not
realizing the extent of the injury, he
waved the tattered ensign over his con-
fused frame, and gave three hearty
cheers for James K. Polk. Such
Democracy ought not to go unrewarded;
and hope you will be able to place our
unfortunate friend in some easy position,
where his physical disability will not be
antagonistic to his progressive Democ-
racy."
