nOunce the Qeatn OF f1On JOHN N. IlARMANSOS,
member of Congress, from Louisiana. He
died on Friday last at New Orleans, after lin
gering illness. The sad intelligence reached us
last evening by Telegraph.
1B- II will be seen by our telegraphic des-
patches that the claimants in Boston of Fugitive
slaves are themselves twice arrested, and then
compelled to fly for their lives from the Court
house door-the temple Of Justice, in the law
abiding and Union-loying city Of Boston.
A Few Facts for Southern submissionists.
IT Is FACT that the Fugitive Slave bill was
passed by the united Southern vote. It is also
fact that although it was claimed by the South
ern compromisers as the consideration the South
was to get for all they surrendered I'm the
Senate but three Northern men sustained it
Ir is FACT that on the final vote in the SEN
ate, out Of sixty-two, Constituting the whole
number) it received but t,Osnty-ssuen yotes moi
oas-haB.
IT Is AFAcT that twelve votes were astagainst
it--all from the NortIl--and that TwESTY-oNE
Senators either lodged or were absent.
Here is the record ,5ta. Y

Bell, Berrien, Butler, Davis Of Mississippi, Daw-

"A concession from the North" indeed three
Northern votes for it, and absentaes enough
known to be hostile to it, to REPEAL IT (if me-
cessary) the commencement of the next session.
In the House the same game was played,
though more Northern men yentured to vote
for it.
The fate of those from Ohio who ventued
on the experiment, is thus commemorated in the
Steubenville Union of that State: ...
WHO ARE THEY .-Hoagand, Democrat, and
TAYLOR, Wing, are the only members of the pres
ent Congress who voted for the slave-catching
law, who were put in nomination for election.
Hoagand's district can give 1900 Democratic
majority, and yet he is beaten nearly 1000 votes.
Taylors district contains moderate Wing ma
jority, and yet he has been reelected.
A large part, if not all of Mr.. TAYLoR's dis.
trct is in the Virginia military district and set.
tied chiefly by Virginians, which accounts for
his return. ......
Ir is FACT that every avowed Free-soiler has
either been reelected, or replaced by one
equally, if not more bitter in Free-soil princi.
pies, while the new accessions, direct or by COM
binations and coalitions, have been numerous.
Ir Is FACT that the Free-sol party will
be more strongly represented in the next Con-
gress than it ever has been.
lT1!AF FACT that SEWARD declares himself q
Union man, and considers the preservation OF
the Union essential to the success of his Aboli.
ton doctrines. It's also on record that he SCOTS
at the idea of Southern agitation imperilling the
Union, for he regards it as stronger than slavery
and stronger than the South.
IT IS FACT that BENTON also claims the
credit of having raised this cry of disunion to
oyerwhelm Southern agitation on the subject of
slavery: and that with Mr.. CLAY and Mr.. WEB
srER, he repudiates the idea of any more slave
States.
Ir 1sA FACT that BENTON and HousToN arc
the real heads of the SOUTHERN UNION party,
to which Mississippi has furnished THE FEET in
two of her sons originally most noisy in their
denunciations of all who opposed the Nashville
Convention.
IRIS FACT that " this cry of Union is masked
battery" behind which the enemies of the South
assail her. g.,
IT IS FACT in relation to Southern subms-
sion, that those who propose the THING, are
ashamed to call it by its right name-and cover
it up under C this cry of Union"
IT IS FACT, that the sayings and the speeches
of these Southern submissionists are highly ap-
proved OF, by the very presses and persons most
bitterly denounced and discredited by the same
men as wholly false to the South, while the
struggle was going on in Congress.
IT Is A FACT that Southern submission has
strengthened the hands of the Free-soilers and
Aboltionists- that the only check upon
them has beer imposed by the "agitators."
IT IS FACT that CLAYs Compromise, which
gave more of Texas to Frce-soil than PEARcEs s
bill, was by them defeated.
IT IS FACT that the Fugitive bill was first
proposed and carried, by MASON and BUTLER.
IT IS A FACT that it never would otherwise
have passed. and that it would have been lost in
the Lower House but for the dread of Southern
"agitators." t.s.
Ii Is FACT that the agitation at the South
has alarmed the merchants of New York and
Boston into attempting demonstration to put
down the volators of the Fugitive bill.
