O'WIIIG NATIONAL CONVENTION. In another column will be found the proceedings of.A meeting of the Whig members of Congrew held at Washington, Feby. 18th 1843. The meeting recommends that a "A Whig NuttonnI Convention be held at the

Picy of Baltimore on Wednesday the 3d. of 1&ai 1844, for the purpose of nominating candidates for Preaklcot and VtaJWdeni ef the United Stotes.

The Hon. R. VV. THOMPSON and the Hon. \j. L. WHIT* will please accept our thinks for public Documents from Washington.

DISTRICT CONVENTION.—It seems to banagreed on all hands that a Convention must be held for the purpose of nominSting a candidate for Congress. Our District consists of Ssix Counties— a number oTnames are already mentioned. Some plan must be fixed upon to unite our strength upon one individual. In other Districts in the State, meetings arc already called for the purpose electing Delegates to Convent ions. And generally the favorite plan seems to be, that of each Township in the several counties electing two Delegates to represent the Township in a District ^Convention. In our own District that plan is ^suggested in the newspapers. The Township elections to take place in April, have been mentioned as affording good opportunities for

Whigs to get together and elect Delegates. Pei haps it would be well that a primary or reparatory County «*e# ting should be held— which the mode of chosfng Delegates imight emanate and be recommended. The |Whigs of Vigo will please think of this. The 'Igtfig* jtime is approaching for action.

The Convention will probably be held in ^Rockville or Greencastle—and the time should ft^ljnot be later than the middle of May, in order ito givo the nominee a full opportunity to canvass the several counties of the District.

ABSTRACTION RESOLUTIONS.—A number of resolutions have been introduced into the Senate «f the United States within a short time, .J by Messrs. McDvrriE, RIVES nnd others, not $ having any direct conaexion with any subject properly before the Senate

These Resolutions have been well termed

'4 tncrA attraction*. They are not founded upon any definite propositions—neither arc any certain conclusions deducible from thum

tion of State Debts seem to be the great objects of repudiation* Neither one of these subjects is before tho Senate, Yet resolutions are introduced, and time occupied in rambling remarks, by those who bring them forward, ^«to the great delay of pressing and important 7?*%. i' business '*"'i A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot alluding to some remarks of Messrs. McDur1 ris and WALIER, says:

We are told by these gentlemen, tbal if in theeonrse *«f time, incompliance wita public opinion, theaseent of Coftftm shtuN t*giveo tea propoeitioo for the

Terrible catastrophe—l*and slide at Troyw From a gentleman who readied this city from the North last evening, as well as by a slip from the office of the Budget and the Ar. gus of Saturday morning, we have received intelligence of a fearful calamity which occurred at Troy on the afternoon of Fridaylast. At about 4 o'clock a large portion of the hill called Mount Ida back of the city and-a little south of the scene of the slide of 1837, gave way and suddenly rushed forward, crushing beneath it several dwelling houses and burying beneath their ruina the fkmiliea within. It i» supposed, that some twenty or thirty person* were burie| by tlie avalanck^ The gentleman from whom we chiefly deriviS^ eur information, toys that freferrtfiifeity it was stated that seventeen persons were known to have perished. The mass of earth which fell was some acres in extent and apparently fifteen or twenty feet in depth. So suddenly did it come that a man passings the time leaped from his sleigh just in time to escape, his horses being buried beneath the earth. Had the catastrophe happened' in the night the toss of life must have been much greater. The buildings were mostly new and inhabited mainly by laborers. The following letter from the Argtitf embraces oil the particular? we havo 'received Y. Tribune.

That the Whig Members of Congress,

concurring in the expediency of the proposed Convention, and yielding to the wishes expressed that they should designate the time .and. place, do respectfully recommend thai a Whig National Convention lor the

DEATH OF BISHOP GRISWOLD.—The Boston papers announce the melancholy intelligence of the death of the Right Reverend ALEXANDER V. GRISWOLD, Bishop of the Eastern Diocess. The venerable prelate died very suddenly on Wednesday afternoon, in the seventy-seventh year of his. age. He had, says the Daily Advertiser ''recently enjoyed as good health as* for some years pasf*. and walked from his house to the residence of Bishop Eastburn, his associate ond successor, in Pemberton Square. On reaching the door of the house, he was observed to falter and fall. He was immediately taken4 up, but in a few moments he was dead. The cause of his death was a diseaso of the heart, from which he had occasionally suffered for some years past. His sudden departure will be deeply lamented by a numerous Christian public, to whom he has long been the object of respect and veneration.**

Taov, FIB.17—half-past 5 P. M.

Our Citf has been again visited with an awful calamity. Another terrible avalanche has swept houses and families away in its course of destruction. It is useless to attempt to particularise when it is utterly impossible to do so on this mournful occasion. Suffice it to say, that the earth slide occurred in the immediate vicinity of the terrible avalanche 1837, about 4 o'clock this afternoon, covering acres of ground at the base of the hill, and crushing to atoms some ten or twelve houses, nearly all occupied. Whole families have perished, and the only warning they received waa the death blow that carried them into eternity.

I have jutt left the ruins to communicate to you theee few lines. There all is panic and confusion.— Eight or ten dead bodies have already been taken out from the rains, and how many alive or partially injured I cannot tell. The crowds are moving in inassess from spot to spot, and in the centre of cach tlie mortal remains of some one who has perished, are being carried from the scene of destraetion to some more suitable place- The municipal officers are on the spot, doing all that is possible to be done to rescue the living, it any are yet to bo found, and to take care of the dead. When I left, tlie smoke was gushing from the smouldering ruins, and several hose companies were there. While I am writing, the alarm bell lor fire is ringing, but I do not apprehend that the destruction can be augmented by fire.

Let ma assure you that the scene presents an awful and melancholoy sight. Babes in the cradles—mothers with their children in their arms—and stalwart men, who had bat two hours ago breathed freely and ia health—have been taken from the rains mutilated snd mangled corpses. The buildings destroyed were nesrly all new^attd had but recently been erected.— They were tetilftted principally by poor and industrious mechanics. The detail* of the calamity you will receive more at large through our city papers of to-mor-Twillsta^ for rhc information of your distant readers, that the centre ot the avalanche was at the bead of Washington-street, a little below what has usually been termed the 'Five Points' of this city.
