WONDERFUL ESCAPE. A drunken woman fell
on Saturday morning from the top to the bottom Of
Seminary Hill, which is at least two hundred feet
high-She was a little bruised, but no bones were
broken, and as soon as she reached the ground she
commenced using the most blasphemous language.
Those who saw the accident at first pitted her and
were disposed to render every serviee in their power
hut her profanity changed the current of their thoughts
and the police was sent for. She was taken to the
Mayors office, and locked up in the watch house.

Abolition Depredations.
To the citizens qfMe District Of Columbia

To the citizens Of the District Of Columbia:
The late outrageous attempt on the part Of the
Northern Abolitionists, led on by CHAPLIN, (the
former editor of the "Portfolio," published in
Albany, New York; to steal and entice away our
slave-property, and their brutal and murderous as
sault, with deadly weapons, on the persons of the
officers of justice, demand some notice from the
citizens Of the District Of Columbia.
This wicked movement, made at time wnen
the Southern section Of our Union is already allie
mated by the increasing encroachments Of the
North, merits snrer and more speedy chastise-
ment than our present inefficient laws can afford.
Iappeal, with confidence, to the citizens Of the
District, to meet in public assembly, and adopt
immediate measures for redress Of our griev-
ances, and by constitutional and legal means, to
visit condgn punishment on the guilty heads Of
the Abolitioniss and their accompiices in this CITY,
We have suffered and patiently submitted, year
after year, to the grossest assaults and aggressions
on our institutions and property, delaying action,
in hopes that Congress would consider our UNI
protected condition, until at length our community
has been ruthlessly invaded, and our property Sc
cretly wrested from us by wretched enthusiasts
and anatical miscreants from the so-called free
States, and such of our citizens, who, in assisting
the officers in defence of the majesty of the laws
have been mutually assaulted with murderous NAL
ice and intent.

From The Greensboro Beacon.

The SOUTHERN QUEsTION.-We notice in our
exchanges the proceedings Of numerous public
meetings held in this State-especially in the
eastern part of ito respond to the action of the
Nashville Convention The resolutions adopted
take strong and very decided ground in favor OF
maintaining the rights Of the South. Among
the resolutions adopted by meeting recently
held in Greenvlle, Butler county, is the follow
ing
Resolred, That if Congress adourns without
granting the rights of the South, upon which
she is insisting, we recommend the South to sus-
pend all commercial communication with the
North, until she is willing to treat us as equals
Though we do not fancy the phraseology OF
the foregoing rcsolution-especially the words
granting the rights Of the South" and "willing
to treat as as equals"--we are decidedly in favor
of--and have been for years past-of the mea-
sure which it recommends. The great CONNER
cial, manufacturing, and maratime interests of
the North, are deeply and most vitality interested
in keeping up the most friendly relations with
the South. Without the trade of the South,
they would find their prosperity most seriously
effected. Hence it has been to us matter OF
establishment, that these great interests do not
unite together to put down those miserable po-
litical Abolitionists, who are constantly engaged
in efforts to destroy the institution of slavery,
and thus to ruin the South.
Before resorting to secession, or any means OF
redressing our wrongs likely to result in dis
solution Of The Union, we are decidedly in favor
of resorting to a system of nom intercourse with
the North-and that not merely commercially
but also socially. The South is now in the
habit, not only Of buying from the North most
of the good she consumes, but of sending her
sons and daughters to the North to be educated
and also of travelling to the North for pleas
ure every summer, thus spending annually hun
dreds of thousands with people who are assail-
ing their most ital interests. We are for puf-
ting stop TO all this, unless those Of our North
ern brethren who make money ont of us, see
proper to put doWn--as they easily can do-the
wretches who, in their efforts to eniarcipate the
slaves Of the South, are in fair way to destroy
the best government that has ever been framed
by the wisdom Of man.

Meeting Of the Southern Members Of the
House Of Representatives

House Of Representatives
At length we have to congratulate the South
on the attainment of greater unity among her
representatives than has yet been known
At a meeting held few evenings since, the
following members were appointed Committee
on Resolutions:
Mr.. Toombs, Chairman.
Messrs Seldom, Thompson, Houston, Bowie,
Clingman, Burt, Cabell, billiard, Morse, John.
sou, Morehead, Green, Howard, Thomas
We understand that the deliberations of the
Committee resulted in almost entire unanimity,
and accordingly
Mr. TooMBs, Chairman Of the Committee OF
Fifteen, reported the following resolutions, which
were adopted:
/. Resolred, That no citizen shall be deprived of
his life, liberty or property, except by the Judgment
Of his peers, and the laws Of the land, and that
the common law as it existed in the American Col
onies on the 4th July, l776, and the Constitution
and laws Of the United States applicable to our
territories, shall be the fundamental law Of said
territory.
g. Resolped, That in the event that the nom
saveholding States object thus to put the life, lib
erty and property Of American citizens under
American laws, we will insist upon division of
the country on the line of 36o 30', with distinct
recognition and protection of property in slaves.
g. Resotred, That we will not vote for the admis-
sion Of California, unless the Southern boundary
be restricted to the parallel of 36o 3O' north lat
tude.
d. RESOLVED, That we will not agree to any boun-
dairy between Texas and New Mexico which pro-
poses to cede to New Mexico any portion Of ter
rtory south of the parallel Of 36o go north lati-
tude and west Of the Rio Grande, prior to the adj
justment Of the territorial questions.
S. Resolved, That the representatives OF the
laveholding States will resist by all usual legis-
lative and constitutional means, the admission Of
the-State of California and the adjustment of the
Texas boundary, until settlement ofthe territorial
questions.
G. Resoired, That the true boundary of Texas is
that defined by the act Of the Texas Congress OF
December 18th, 1896; and il is the duty Of the
South to maintain the same, unless a satisfactory
adjustment of it is had by the assent Of the State
Of Texas.
4. Be IL further resolved, That the powers and du-
ties of the Committee of fifteen be continued until
the further action ofthe meeting, and that the Chair
man Of that Committee, by the concurrence OF
any three members thereof, may at any time call
meeting of the representatives Of the savehold-
ing States.

But If the people OF "a State believe there is
fixed congressional majority, whose settled policy
is in their judgment, not only unjust and oppres-
sive but involves also violation Of the Constitu-
ton, and usurpation Of authority if under such
circumstances State in her sovereign character
and by convention Of her people judge and de-
termne upon an entire dissolution of their Federal
relations, and upon peaceful withdrawal from
the Union and act accordingly then, and in that
case, we suppose the moral obligations of her peo-
pie to obey Federal laws is dissolved also. Should
an issue like that supposed by Mr.. Clay be made,
it is important that we all understand our moral
obligations.

purposes coahua, according to the line run be-
tween them, commenced at the mouth Of the Ar
kansas and running up that river. Almonte, the
former Mexican minister, was one Of those COM
m ssioners. The title of Texas to the valley of
the Neuces, was one of conquest, as Mr.. G. un-
dertook to show, Texas never had exercised juris-
diction further west than the valley.
Mr.. HOWARD nterrupting Mr.. G., described
how the judicial officers and surveyors of Tex
as exercised their respective functions in that
territory from 1899 down to the present time.
Mr.. GIDDINGS resuming, held that this ex-
ercise of functions was merely constructive, and
that every expedition sent by Texas to maintain
that jurisdiction, proved un successful. Texas
had no valid jurisdiction until Taylor IS army gave
it to her. This jurisdiction, he would not take
back from her. But it never extended farther
north than the southern boundary OF Coahuia
Mr.. HOWARD again interrupting Mr.. GID-
pINGs, showed that Texas had repeatedly held
possession and exercised jurisdiction over Laredo,
and that since Gen. Taylor took possession oft,
Texas has continually exercised jurisdiction there.
Mr.. GIDDINGS again resuming, remarked that
he was not aware Of this fact, but it was not ma
terial to his argument. He would give up all Of
the argument and country to Texas, but that OF
New Mexico; to that, Texas had no shadow Of a
colorado claim. The President should defend
New Mexico at all hazards against this pretended
claim of Texas. President Polk in one Of his an
nual messages, held, that we had conquered--not
Texas--but .Nsw .Merico He had established gov
ernments there-tried men under the laws Of New
Mexico and hung more or less Of them. These
were things which he could not have done in Tex
as. At that time no wing in Congress admitted
that Texas had shadow of title to territory west
of the Tooth degree of west longitude. We had
not only the authority of the last democratic Pres
idsnt, but Of the whole wing party. against this
claim of Texas. ~
