Coleman and Bufort, of Alabama Wilkinson, of Mis-

Virginia, and others.
All the resolutions were similar in their general
views in reference to the rights the South have
been heretofore expressed-aganst the interference
of the North with the institution of slavery. They
also favored Gen. Taylor's views of compromise, in
preference to that offered by Mr.. Clay, but evncing
fervent desire for a compromise of the exciting
question on some favorable terms that would preserve
the Union.

insult to the whole South : and remarks that
it demands an instant settlement of an is

recommends that the State of Virginia,

earnestly and sincerely 10 her sister States
at the South TO postpone any extreme action
in relation TO present difficulties, until the
result of the elaboration of such Conven-

DANGEROUS AMUsEMENr.-The follow
ing paragraph from the Gloucester Tele-
graph contains moral which parents
ought not to forget:
A young child little over three years
of age, at a house at the head of the har-
Dor, yesterday morning took a basket of
shavings, which had been procured to
burn a chimney, and carried them up
stairs into one of the chambers, and set
fire to them with match. He then
went into another room and told an aunt
of his what grand fire there was in the
chamber. The lady suspecting some
thing wrong. Immediately proceeded to
the room and there found the basket of
shavings in the middle of the floor near
ly consumed, and before the fire could
be extinguished, the carpet, chair, and
some other things were badly burnt
Had not the lady Immediately proceeded
to the room, the fire would have gained
such serious Roadway as to have endan-
gered the building. Parents should
keep friction matches out Of the reach of
such small children. .ls ...4,s..
