ALABAMA.-The Montgomery Atlas, comment
ing upon the resolution before the State Legislature
Of Alabama, directing their Representatives in Con
gress to abandon their seats the passage Of the
proposed anti-slayery acts, speaks as follows
But we are aware that there are many men,
even at the South, who would suffer almost any
calamity rather than consent to dissolatonsof the
Union. These are mostly what called practical
men, who nothing for principles in the abstract,
who would be very little disturbed II thousand
GWilmotproviso bills should pass Congress, provided
| they could not qrurtscazty lnjuIe the South, And
in regard present action, it will be asked by these
men, Il redress cannot be obtained in any other
way than by deelAringa carrying it out if neces
4 sary--our ztltimatun. Suppose these insulting
| and high-handed measures pass the House of Rep
Iresentatives can they pass the Senate Ii they
pass both Houses, will they be vetoed by the Pres
| ident? If they become law, will the Supreme
Court sanction them2 At what stage of the pro
gress of such procedure must the South rise up,
! and soemnly pronounce its great tQt - Let the
the Union be dssolved2 These questions the
/ Legislature will we have no doubt answer in
such manner as the honor and best interests Of
the State require. Since the above was written,
we understand that the committee to whom was
referred the communication above mentioned will
recommend that Senators and Representatives
in Congress be requested to return home, IN the
event Of the passage Of the Wilmot proviso. We
doubt the policy Of such step, unless they should
be Joined by the delegations of all the save-hold-
ing States. Whatever be done by the Southern
Representatives, should be done by harmonious
concert of the whole The delegation Of one State
returning home would cut rather poor figure UNI
less accompanied by all the rest"

"The~wercfct Of the coroner's jury, asserting the
I-a1rt 81 the killing Of DR.. Parkman BY Prof Web
ster, will be found 10 be very cautiously 'worded
Enough Of the evidence before them has leaked out
to convince the public that the presumptive grounds
against the Professor are almost irresistible FoI
some days before the public developments in regard
to his implication, he was watched and logged by
the police and it was not until the proofs agains
him, in consequence of his conduct, amounted al
s most to certainly, that he arrested. The jury
charge him with killing, butnot with numbering
DIR. Parkman. The question of murder will one
for the traverse jury to decide. The public convic
ton here is that the coroners jury had testimo
nybefore them, which prevented their rendering an!
verdict less decisive than that which appears"
: The Springfield (Mass) Republican says
"We learn that there was evidence going to SHOW
. that the murder was meditated by Professor Web
ster as early at least as the Tuesday preceding tn
Friday of DR.. Parkman' s disappearance. 1t should
however, be borne in mind that the examination be
fore the Coroner is nearly er parte in its nature"
