Another Blow!

By reference to the proceedings of the House of Repre-
sentaves of Monday, in paper to-day will be
that Mr.. Giddngs submitted resolution, proposing to
take poll to decide on the emancipation of slaves in
this Distric-and the free people of color in it to
have voice in the decision.
We with infinite establishment that this outrage
proposition flies in the face of that spirit of
compromise which the constitution founded, and
directly in contempt of (ffteen half the States in the
Union, and of that liberal sentiment which prevails in
the others towards the Confedeacy itself-has found
10 members to vote for it. 1t is an attack upon
southern institutions, which it was hoped would never
have been offered in the august body which represents
the people of the Union. 1t is an insulting attempt TO
degrade the white TO the level of the black
What miserable infatuaton, thus despse the bless
ngs enjoy-and thus to offend the feelings of large
and respectable portion of this great Conederacy Such
attempts to good. If pushed to ultimate
consequences, il will produce excitement that will
sweep its authors into fathomless abyss, and may
shake the Union itself.

Indian Difficulties on the Frontier.

The Arkansas Wan Buren, Intelligencer Of
the 9th inst has the following, which indicates
trouble with the Indians on the Arkansas from
tier and in Texas:
We learn by a letter from Col. Upshaw.
Inc %ylgliant agent for the Chicasaws dated.
April 25th, that conflicts had recently taken
place between some Indians Of the Prairie
tribe and the citizens Of Texas, in the vicini-
ty OF Fort Washita. Colonel U. writes US that
a party of Wacoes killed three Surveyors.
citizens Of Texas. Subsequent to the muir
der, a party of rangers surprised them while
they were drying the scolps Of three white men
all Of which party (four in number) they killed
About tho same time a detachment Of Can
tain Johnson's Rangers fell in with a party Of
Indians, and whilst holding talk through an
Interpreter, the Indians fired upon them, when
commenced a brisk fight which continued IN.
u about twelve Of the Tndians were killed.
and q number wounded, when the survivors
fled.
Col y. is also informed, upon good Indian
authority, that about 100 Kickapoos crossed
ked rlVEr about eighty miles above Fort Wash.
ita, a short time since, evidently a war party.
Their destination is not known. Their march
might have been interrupted, no doubt, had
there been any dragons at Fort Washita, but
that garrison is not only deficient in dragons
not more than a dozen mounted infantry could
be raised for that service.
We believe that Col. Upshaw has been for
a long time urging upon the War Department
70 station a party Of dragoons at that post, where
they are more Deededthan at any otherp point an
the frontier .

pHe.-The steamer GAINESVILLE on her way tc
Nashville took fire about dark on Saturday
evening last, just below Napoleon, Ark and
was wrapped in flames almost instantly. The
FIRE caught to the deck and state rooms over
the boilers, and had burst into uncontrolIa.l lie
violence before it was discovered. The boat
was headed to the shore as The fire was discov-
cred, which she reached; but she rebounded,

were saved, we learn, owe their safety to the

furnished.
1t appears that among tile freight there was
a quantity Of gun powder; and after the boat
had been partly consumed this was reached by
the flames, and a terrific explosion sent the

There was quite a number Of passengers on

Of the cabin passengers, we understand, were
lost, though several were severely injured. OIL

WASHINGTON, Nav l6tb. 1848

s5a e&l WASHINGTON, May 10th, l848.
II has been stated that the New York dele
gates to the Wing Convention, have been in
slructed to support Mr.. Clay as their first
choice. That Is true, but there is no meaning
In IT. except to say, that Mr.. Clay would be
acceptable, if he could be got. But the New
I ork delegation as | am well assured, will not
support Mr., Clay. They would take General
scott, who was the choice of the New York
delegation in l840sbut for some recent events,
would not undertake to say that General
ocolt has now any chance for obtaining the
Jealous support Of the Wings Of that State.
General Taylor will probably be The choice Of
that delegation, and if SO, he will be nomina-
ted.
Several very prominent and influential
Wings from New York, now here, say TINT
MI. Clay cannot obtain the vote of that State.
under any circumstances, and that his nomi.
nation will alone secure the vote Of that State
for the democratic candidate. The only aafetv
Of the Wing party is to take up General
Taylor.
