by w. F. &. Duplessis on the person Of
Auguste E~rbogaste, in ST. Ann street. The
assailnnt, who for some time past, has
been laboring under a fit OF Insanity, no
doubt mistook The unfortunate man either
for sheriff Lewis, or Recorder Genois,
against both of whom he has been con-
stan,ly vowing vengeance. The accused
cut Erbogaste with u large bu cher's
cleaver and inflicted two severe wounds on
his person. Duplessis was committed to
The parish prison, but the Insane Asylum
would be the proper place to send him to-

from Porto Rico represent that island TO be
in a dreadful state Of alarm, the people
being every moment in expectation that
slaves would revolt and perhaps massacre

believe, constitute but about one.tenth
ofthe whole population. The@ are how
ever, a large number Of free blacks-four
times as many as there are slaves. The
slaves and free blacks together make about
half the population Of the island, which is
mol far from 400, 1000. The militia and re-
gulaT troops were con family on duty, and
intercourse with the island wasprohibited

sLAvERYIN THE FEDERAL DIS.

TRICT.-A Geographic despatch TO the
Picaynnc, dated the 22nd inst, states that
in the House Of Representatives resolutions
were adopted by a vote Of 80 to 81 in
strlcting the committee on the District OF
Columbia to bring in a bill to abolish
slavery in the District. Great excitement
was produced by this vote. The Southern
members retired in a body but, accor.
ding to the despatch, they were soon paci.
fed. The sail e evening, the. members OF
Congress from all the Southern States
except Delaware assembled in the Senate
chamber, 20 consider of the best course To-
be pursued by the South in reference 10
the crisis produced, or threatened, by the
vote of the House upon the subject of sup.
pressing the slave trade in the District Of
Columbia. Mr.. Morse, of Louisiana,
opened the proceedings in a speech o.
great earnestneSs
Gov. Metcalf was appointed President o.
the meeting, and MIR Venable, Secretary,
A commit ee of one from each of the
Southern States was appointed to mature
and bring forward a report upon the sub
iect, and submit resolutions to meet the
exigency.
A number of eloquent, powerful and an.
mated speeches were delivered, when the
meetina adjourned to the 18th Of January,
This despatch, though not very clear
shows two things, first, that the Northern
members of Congrcss-DemocIars and
Whigs-are determined to press THEN
anti slavery views 10 the extreme verge Of
raShress and danger and next, that the
South is resolved firmly and uncompromis'
ing,y 10 resist their Incorporate and IN
constitutional deman ds. We are glad thai
the Southern Representatives did moi
persist in breaking up the organization O.
the House, in The first m"ments 81 indigna-
ton at the outrage !; aid we rejoice like
wise that they assembled Together and
took counsel Of each other as 70 The course
to he pursued in the eAigency. 1t will be
time enough for action when the couirm-
plated wrong is ~cOnsumated. Thus far,
the people Of the South have a double
guarantee of safety in the Senate and the
I Exccu i've. No bill to abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia can pass the
Senate, and fit did, the Pres dents veto
would be prompt interpo ed for the pro-
lection of the South. Yet we must confess
that the ~factious folly of the North on this
slavery issue, is of a nature to arouse feel
ings of sharp resentment in the South, and
to weaken The bonds ofour glorious union.
The abolition Of slavery in the District o.
Columbia a question akin to the mosi
reckless fanaticism of G1DDINGs anc
SMITH, and in practical Importance and
consequences, scars far above The Wilmoi
Provi-o. The latter is little more than
an abstraction, and is resisted partly upon
the point ofhonor and partly because it is
dreaded by the South as the preclude tc
measures more vitality attacking her well
fare and domestic institutions. Leave the
slavery question il the territories untouch
ed, and hose new acquisitions, from the
force circumstances. will be hearaficr, in
all proba hility, organized into non-slave-
holding States.-Bec, 9th.
