The result of this inquiry shows that, with the
exclusion of Texas, the Southern States are not
possessed of an area equal to that to which their
title clear and ncontrovertible under the treaty
of 1888, in which their Independence was recog-
nZed. How was the RECOMMENDATION OF Texas re-
ceived? For the benefit OF that panic-stricken
herd, whose hysterica apprehensiQns for the fate
crsus forms, we shall extract from AN address put
forth by those conservative statesmen, John Quin-
cy Adams, Gov. Briggs, and lS other members OF
Congress. Perhaps 1t may recommend the con-
sentative opinions of the address by describing
them as Wing members Of Congress. ''We hesi-
tate not TO say in the language of these gentle
men, "that annexation effected by any act or pro-
ceedng of the Federal Government or any of its
departments, WOULD BE IDENTICAL WITH DIssoLU-
TON. 1t would be violation of our national
compact, its objects and designs, and the great
elementary principles which entered into It's for
nation Of character so deep and fundamental,
and would be an attempt TO eternize an institution
and power Of nature so unjust in themselves, so
injurious TO the interests and abhorrent to the feel
ngs Of the people of the free States, as in our
opinion, not only inevitably to result in dissou-
ton of the Union, BUT FULLY JUSTIFY IT and
we not only assert that the people of the free
States OUGHT NOT TO SUBMIT TO IT, but we say
with confidence, they would not submit to it."
We have thus stated the account between the
North and the South. Our limits do not allow us
to comment on the items which compose it.

SLAVE PRopERTY.- following statement
made by Baltimore correspondent ofthe Tribune,
illustrates an influence at work in the middle
slave States, more potential than abolition lectures
or incendiary pamphleteerng, to effect the rapid
extinction Of slavery within their borders. Slave
holders can not afford to hold property long which
has to be insured at such premiums
''I'he papers from Western Virginia, Western
Maryland, and the eastern shore counties, teen
with advertisements ofrewards for runaway slaves.
The difficulty ofrecapturing runawayshas increased
the amount generally offered very much, $500 and
$3.50 each being very common. lam informed by
a slave catcher and dealer that the loss Of slave
property this spring and summer, from Maryland
and Virginia, is larger than at any former period
He showed me list Of advertisements he had ar
ranged in his notebook, for references, offering re-
wards for eighty-one, amounting to about $l2, 00O
The total value Of this number would be fully
$4,000, A snug item for slaveowners to post to
'proft and loss account'-a great majority ofthem
never being recovered"

Your most obedient servant,
p. H. BELL.


The Athens (Ga.) Banner, in Speaker Cobb s
town, whose moderation has given offence to some
of its contemporaries, insists upon an amendment
to the Senate bill, fixing the Southern boundary of
California at $50 30, or some natural boundary
not far from it. The admission of California,
with her present boundaries, it is satisfied will
g re-organize parties, and will probably lead to
some connection, perhaps blood-shed, in the
South. We implore our Democratic friends in
Congress to preserve the integrity Of the party,
and the peace of the Union, by adopting the pro-
posed boundary for California. If the Clay Com
promise bill should be defeated, and California
admitted with her assumed boundaries, we warn
Congress, most solemnly, that there will be
trouble. Such also will be the result, should
they adjourn without settling these agitating
questions In either event, we expect to the
Southern States rushing into the next Nashville
Convention, anda cloud gathering over the Union,
the effects of which may be disastrous to its peace
and perhaps to its integrity"
We trust that our Northern friends win heed
this warning of one of the most moderate organs
of public sentiment at the South

BE il RESOLVED, That we deem it the duty of
the authorities of this State to employ all the
resources, aud all the force of the State if need
be, to maintain the integrity Of our territory, to
suppress rebellion, and to enforce the execution
of our laws throughout every portion of the en-
tire State.
BE IL Resolred, That the civil and military
Government in the Santa Fe district of our
State, there established and maintained by the
Federal Government is in violation Of the honor
and rights of Texas, and that adequate means
ought to be taken to abate Immediately this
hostile and adverse occupation of our soil.
And be it Resolred, Inasmuch as the Execu-
tive has avowed that our territory will be held
by the United States until Congress shall other
wise direct or the question be adjusted; that it
now becomes our plain duty to reject every and
any proposition for the sale or disposition of any
portion of our territory, unless it shall be based
upon distinct recognition of boundary as de-
fined in the act of 1885,
Resolved, That we approve of the call OF the
Legislature by the Governor, and recommend to
them prompt and decisive action in the assertion
of our rights, and for the occupancy of all our
territory while that right is disputed or contest

FLIEs.--Not year passes but we hear of cases
Of accidental poisoning from the of the various
fly posons, that are improperly employed to de-
stroy these insects. We have known Of several
cases within few years, in this city, where the
death of children has been thus produced. We
think, therefore, it should be generally known that
1t is wholly unnecessary TO resort to these deadly
arsenical preparations for the purpose of killing
flies, and as the season in which these little in
sects are most annoying is approaching, we will
here state, for the benefit of the public, upon good
authority, if plateful Of strong green tea, well
sweetened, be placed in an outer apartment Access
sbe to flies they will taste Of it, and be killed
thereby as surely as by the most approved :" fly
poison" This fact may not be so agreeable TO
those who are accustomed to sip two or three
cups of this delightful beverage every evenings
but it is nevertheless fact, and any one who has
any doubts upon the subject, has but to try the
experiment, and in doing SO they need have no
fears of POISONING materially, their children,
even though they should accidentally drink the
draught designed for the fies.-Proridence Jour.

CHoLERA.-A sovereign cure for Cholera has

Government to lose no time in collecting large
quantities of this root and giving gratis to the

Of truth, that the most marvellous cures have been
effected by this root As an act of charity we
call upon Sonora Hoppe, who herself administered
this specific to numerous persons in her husbands

truth of our statement"
A portion of the root, the size Of nut, is infl-

The Vermont Resolutions on
Slavery

Have given rise to very excite debate, par
tcuarly on the part OF the Savoclats. They
are determined to prove themselves outrageous
" insul,ed, and argue long ana loudly to prove
that the Legislature of Vermont is guilty of
various crimes which, We venture to say the
committee and the Legislature never dreamed
of. The Legislature intended to state plainly
the MONS OF the people of Vermont to their
delegation in Congress and to he county, on
questions in which Vermont feels deeply con-
cerned and with the single view of clearing
the skirts of Vermont, through her representa-
Slavery and the Slave-tIade for one instant
where it is The right of Congress to prevent it.
That they have stated them to some purpose is
maze p city evident by the debate. Never was
hornets nest more thoroughly stirred up. We
give the first days debate and shall publish the
rest as fast as possible If the Hotspurs get any
advantage of our Senators, we shall lose oui
guess.

CONGRESS,

The proceedings of Congress for the week
have not been of a character to be described in
the usual summary form
The House has been mainly employed in cleo

leading in the vote. Hon. Solomon Foot of this
State was for some time run by the Wings, and
at one time led Forney the scattering were
too many for him. Mr.. Foot was nominated
without his consent, and withdrew his name

gress) and on the Goth ballot he was elected
having received the votes Of Free Soler, 8

did not seek the Presidency of the late Conyeu-
ton Perhaps he dad not. All we know about
1t IS that, according to common rurnor, his
friends had 10 do pretty smart work to get him
nominated in caucus, and then, according to the
official record, he stood through sundry unlucky
ballots n Convention. Ii the gentleman did
not desire an election, his best course would
have been to decline the nomination at the be-
ginning of the race, rather than after falling of
the goal in five times trying.
