SpIAsA.-There Is very little political news from
Is State, and the people generally seem to be en-.
red in something else than agitation. Though there
decided free soil fsslipgsin the wing patty, from
fact that election Is soon to take place the
Pstion is very little discussed. There great
ny fugtives in the State, but they In the int
and northern portions Of the State, with which

AssAcHusErrs.-The feeling of opposition to the
Eive slavelaw and the bills providing governments
New Mexico and Utah, without the slavery restric-
n is becsming stronger every day. The late meet
| in Boston most plainly portrays the means that
be used to resist the law. The press generally OF

Ity, still continue TO dsnounce the law, while the
p. Daniel Webster is called traitor to the North

PHIo.-The election now over in this State gives .

lee or four and the consequence lie that the

ult was very large majority In the popular vote Of

FRsNIA.-There seems now to be greater concert
action among the democrats of this State. Though
} whig party has always inclined with the North,
d their principal journals say that any measure o.
pgrsss has been aggression against the South or
interests, there are many OF that party In tn
