From Santa Fe-Steamboat Accidents,
Fires. &c.

Fires, &c.
Intelligence from Santa Fe to the I'd Of
February, has been received at lndepend-
ence. The Republican Of that date COT
tuins letters from Taos, which represents
the winter as being very severe. Fremont
in passing through the mountain gorges,
lost ,l30 mules in one night. Tie was
then left on foot. and came TO the conclu.
sion that it was impossible TO proceed any
further, and despatched three men to seek
settlement. ard succor. They not return.
ing in twenty days, Fremont started for
Taos, distant $50 miles. where he arrived
in nine days. Major Beale Immediately
despatched party of Dragons, with mules
aud provisions to relieve Fremont's party.
Fremont, though much efaaciated, accom-
panied the expedition.
The suffering Of the party is represented
as great, even to the extremity of feeding
upon each other. Green, who brings the
news, left Santa Fe several days after the
publication of the letter. lie reported
that all of Fremont's party have perished
except the Colonel, who is badly frost-5it-
ten.
Our correspondent at independence, has
doubts as to the authenticity Of the news.
We do not see with what reason.

The Black Laws in The House.

Ii will be seen by the Legislative report
sentatives at Columbus has done one good
Thing since the opening Of its sessions.
though we confess we are unable, from the
report, to tell just how much ground its ac-
ton covers. The original bill for the Re
peal Of the Black laws had been so changed
by amendments, and had been committed
and recommiued so often that it seems some
Of the members did not themselves know
exactly what they were voting upon. Should
the bill not be killed in The Senate, as was
that one that originated ,here, its details will
be made public in due course Of time. Were
we attached 10 any political party, we should
probably have some friend at the seat Of gov
eminent who would keep our readers espe.
cially informed in relation 10 such proceed.
ings Of the Legislature as have a bearing
upon the great question now before the peo-
Pile. As it is, we have TO gather what we
can from the columns of political papers, and
are often dissatisfied with the meagreness OF
our gleanlngs.
The editor Of the Estate Journal" refer,
ring TO the action Of the House, says, "This
bill, we believe, makes a clean sweep Of all
statutory disabilities on account Of color,
leaving but the constitutional declaration as
TO what constitutes a voter" If this be so,
it is a triumph, though whether of Principle
OF of Contract, time must determine. The
Wing speakers, or some Of them, pretty plain
Iy intimate it was Contract that was 50 20
tent as 10 change the action of the opposi.
tion-that if Pugh and Pierce, the Hamilton
county Democrats, had not been admitted tc
seats by the turning vote Of two Free Soil
eTs, thus giving the Democrats a majority in
the House, the bill would not have been sus,
tanned by so many members Of that party
Whatever was the moving power, the vote
for the adoption of The bill was a triumph
So for it, and 10 against it.

Congress

Is as usual exceedingly busy, It's members
discuss slavery fnll as much as any reasona.
BILE aboliiionist can desire, though it must be
confessed there prevails in both Halls a great
dearth Of efficient action. They occasionally
pass an anti-slavery resolution, or with fear
and trembling adopt a bill which looks rath-
er incendiary TO southern eyes, and then
reconsider and reject ii The following day.
Their efforts in the cause Of freedom bear a
striking analogy to the proceedings ola young
rogue we once read Of, who attempted TO
steal his neighbor's apples-the South say
the abolitionisis are trying TO steal their
slaves. We presume the youngsier felt as
guilty as does a Congressman when casting
an anti-slavery vote. Halo there! Where
are We ganging :" cried the owner Of the APP
pies, with tire terrible look and voice Of a
stakeholder. The urchin had just reached
the top of the wall which surrounded the en-
closure, but being as polite and obedient as
a northern doughfacc, he answered, Book
agin!" and quickly regained the outside.
IHC very idsN dHt-SldNtIl hC'iOu NillNl u
House has tolerated, was the presentation OF
a bill from the Committee on the District OF
Columbia, prohibiting the introduction Of
slaves into the District as merchandise, OF
for sale or hire. Quite a lengthy discussion
thereupon arose, for which the members re-
ceive pay at the rate Of SO per day, with the
addition Of extra and enormous mileage, and
5000 worth Of books each. IL any enc is SO
unsophisticat ted as To suppose thataught will
be done with the bill, except to talk about
and possibly adopt, and then reconsider and
reject it, it is because he knows but little OF
the character Of an American Congress. Its
members have now for two months and 4
half been living off the ~People-and never
did lecches draw as they do-and they have
as yet done scarcely anything worth speak
ing Of. Tlty live in comfortable quarters,
receive handsome pay, have Honorable pre-.
fixed to their names, ami in one respect, at
ltasi, resemble the lilies of the f%eld-"they
toll not, neither DO they spin" though their
constituents must, to pay them their official
salary. This is said 10 be an age of Hum
bug; ard whether the assertion be true or
not, the existence of the American Congress
goes far 10 make il so.

ell the slave laws Of the District Of Columbia
was ouly defeated by l6 votes. But more
remarkable and surprising, perhaps more
promising than all was The vole-79 ayes TO
los nsys-on Mr.. Giddings' bill 10 give to
the people Of the District, without distinc,
ton Of color, the privilege OF expressing their
sentiments upon the slave system among
them. Following this was MIR. Colts bill
TO abolish the slave traffic of The District,
which passed the House, as our readers
know, by a majority Of ii votes-9S ayes 10
81 noes. or these four assaults upon Slave
ny two have been completely successful,
while the results of the other two are quite
as significant Of its fate.
But while these things have been transpir-
ing in the House Of Representatives, the &C.
ton Of the Senate has not been without its
encouraging indications 10 the friends of the
Free Soil principle. The attempt Of Mr..
Calhoun TO suppress the petition Of the New
Mexicans, containing a Temonstance against
the introduction of Slavery among them,
was put down by the decisive vote of 33 TO
IA. But more gratifying than all was the
noble stand taken by the = great Missourian,"
"a stand which promises every thing TO the
cause of human freedom. Who can doubt
the adoption Of The Free Soil principle in
the Senate, when the bold and uncolnpromis-
ing Benton becomes its advocate
These are the t%riumphs which the mad and
reckless spirit of Slavery propagandism has
invoked by its aggressiOns and outrages.-
Let no stakeholder or doughface fatter him
self that they are neither permanent nor pro-
gressive. Revolutions never go backwards,
and particularly those having their origin in
a determination TO overthrow oppression and
to dinuse The blessings OF liberty. The
South may hold its caucuses and threaten a
dissolution of the Union but the North
will not recede. Threats have lost their po-
tency or il they have not, the claims OF
freedom are paramount and will hereafter be
recognized by northern freemen.

Encouraging.

The Fair at Massilon, which we feared
would prove a total failure in consequence Of
The recent agitation there in relation to the
Black school law, succeeded beyond our
most sanguine expectations. The PreSbyte-
Ran church was obtained for the occasion,
The seats were removed, and the room hand
somely decorated with evergreens. The
loan Of the best piano in town was offered
and of course accepted, and to other atlrac-
lions that of vocal and instrumental music
was added. The attendance was good, and
The nett receipts will not be less than $I75.
An excellent impression appeared 10 be made
upon those who visited the room and tho
there were but few of the uppe ten pres
ent-for Massillon, we learn, has its upper
ten yet their patronage was not found TO
be indispensable to success.
The Free Sellers and their wives cheerful
ly lent their aid in getting up the Fair, and
we trust they will be repaid by conversion 10
a yet higher and truer principle of action than
that which now guides them. The Baptist

some of their neighbors, proposed present
