Senate Committees,

The whole cast of the U. S. Senate Committees
is probably sectional The south or slave states
have not only majority of the Chairmen of all the
committees, and majority of the members COM
prising said committees, but its prosavery section
atty is more conspicuously exhibited in the cast OF
those committees whose power and influence are
peculiarly political The Judiciary committee is
composed of three slave holders and two non-slave
holders The committee on Foreign Relations has
three members from the slave holding states and
two from the free states-the committees on Mill
tary affairs and the Militia are three south and two
north and four south and one north. On Naval
affairs the south have three the north two On
Indian affairs, the committee is entirely south-the
Post Office is to 2--tfe committee the Dis
trict of Columbia is 3 to g. and the committee on
Territories has Mr.. Douglass from illinois, chairman,
who is pro slavery man and the owner of Mis-
sissppi plantation, three others are from the slave
states, and only one from the free states
New York is represented on one committee only,
while Arkansas is on six. Ohio has an obscure
place in two committees and one of them unimpor-
tant, while South Carolina is on three, Mississippi
four, Virginia four Louisiana four. The south have
majority in fifteen of the committees and the
north in twelve. Sixteen of the charmcn are from
the south and eleven from the north

Notice EXTRAORDINARY.

The readers of the Freeman WILL no doubt, be
gratiied to learn that is the intention of the pub
Usher to materially enlarge it. at the close of the
present volume, so that it will compare favoraby
with any weekly paper published in the State. No
pains or expense will be spared to make the Free
man one of the best papers in the country Espe-
cally shall it be aim to adapt it to the wants oi
the citizens of Sandusky and adjoining counties
SO that they may not be under the necessity oi
demoralizng themselves with the filthy publica-
tons of the Eastern Cities which is offered to them
at one dollar gear
While our readers may be grati6ed at the prom
ses made above, there is another feature, after
mature delibcration, we have determined to adopt
which we hope will also meett their appreciation, to
wit: All subscription moneys must invariably be
paid in advance. The losses and inconvenience
attending the publication of newspapers on credit
are so great that the plan is already abandoned to
considerable extent, and ought to be completely
so by the newspaper press. 1t is little matter for
each subscriber to pay in advance for his newspa-
per, But publisher who trusts in small sums
over several counties, is at great expense in collect
ing them, and in many instances he fails entirely
to obtain any remuneration for his paper.
Accordingly no man will be considered subscri-
Der to the Freeman after his present subscription
expires, who has not paid the subscription in ad-
vance. To enable every man in the county tosub-
scribe for the paper, we offer 1t at the 1olloWlng
terms:
To single mail subscribers, one year, at 81 SO
To clubs of ten & upwards, to one address 81 J
To clubs of fifteen 25
Town subscribers will be charged 81 IS. The diff
ference in the terms between the price on papers
delivered in town and those sent by mail, is occas-
ioned by the expense of carrying.
We trust the Wings of Sandusky and adjoining
counties, will lend their aid and influence in pro
curing subscribers for the Freeman. 1t will con-
tinue as heretofore to advocate the principles of
the Whig party, and lend its influence to advance
the interests of our common country. In thus ap-
pealing to the Wings we do not wish our Demo
cratic friends to suppose that we would object to
receiving the dollar and half from them. On the
contrary we will be glad to send them our paper,
and it shall be our constant aim to benefit them,
and if possible convince them of the "error of their
ways"

From Texas,

The steamship Galveston, Capt Crane, reached
here on Saturday, with papers to the 20 inst.
We learn from the News that among the emf
grants who have lately arrived in Galveston is DIR.
Florian Moerdes, recently Minister of the Interior
for the government of Bavaria and Baden, during
the brief career of its republican existence. The
News says he is accompanied by his lady, (born
Countess Armansperg, daughter of the new Pre-
mier Minister of the Kingdom of Bavaria) and his
brother, Major Francis Moerdes, late of the 1st
regiment of dragons of Padez
DIR. Moerdes and his associates have been COM
PEELED to leave that country on account Of their
political opinions but they not alone, for there
are also many thousands who are under the neces-
sity of expatriation. DR. Moerdes believes that at
least from thirty to forty thousand families will be
enduced to emigrate to America from the same
cause. They viii generally embrace the more
wealthy and better educated portion Of the German
population
Great excitement has been produced in Austin
by intelligence that the people of Santa Fe

that Texas will relinquish her claims to San
ia Fe, even though it should become necessary to
maintain them by the sword. N. o. Bee.

The Speaker-How did southern wings vote!

In the southern congressional delegation there
are thirty Wings, twenty-eight of whom were pres
ent and voted for Speaker on the final vote.
Twenty-three voted for Mr.. Winthrop, four for
Mr.. Morehead and one for Mr.. Stephens Thus
it will be seen that the great body of the southern
Wings stood manfully by the Whig candidate. al
though northern man, which is gratifying proof
that as far southern Wing representatives are
concerned there is little danger of hostile sectional
divisions Three of the Georgia, and one of the
Virginia Wing congressman, voted for Mr.. More
head, and Cabell, the Whig member from Florida,
voted for Stephens.
The Free Soil Wings, who permitted and aided
the Locofocos to elect a southern Speaker by
throwing away their votes upon Wilmot, fLocofo-
COY are Giddings and Root of Ohio, Allen of Mass,
and Howe of Pennsylvania, all representing strong
Wing constituencies
The Free Soil Locofocos, who voted for Wilmot
are Durkee of Wisconsin, Booth of Connecticut Ju-
lian of Indiana and King of New York
This is the first time we believe that Georgia
has furnished Speaker, although the slave states
have had ten of the eighteen different Speakers who
have filed the chair of the House, and of this
Der Virginia has had four. Gin. Gaz

From HaYti.

We received yesterday by the brig Santiago,
Capt. Burgess from Aux Cages, Dec. 5, docu-
ment signed by seven ship masters now at that
place. warning all masters and owners of vessels
against its authorities Captain E. Radclif of the
American brig Gen. Worth, was, according to this
statement, grossly insulted and abused by negro
employed on a lighter, and when the negro finally
thretend to kill him, applied to the Port officer to
have the negro restrained That officer refused to
entertain the above complaint but caused the Cap
tain to be arrested. The American Consul there
upon applied to the highest officer of the place for
redress but hatfunctionary after hearing the state
ment of the negro refused to listen to the wteness
es of the Captain, and swore that he would throw
the Captain into dungeon and cut of the consul's
head The Consul however, soon cooled him off,
and the affair postponed to another day. 1t
had not been settled when the above statement
was mailed.
The Santiago further reports that on the eve of
their departure from Aux Cages the Dominicians
had pillaged and burned to the ground two Hayti-
en- villages named Petite Revere and Dame Maria,
which caused great excitement at Aux Cayes.-
The Hayten fleet then lying at that port,
but left Immediately for Dame Maria.

ES~ The following extract from the last yind
cation of young Meagher is unsurpassed in elo
quence and power TO England he says:
"If thou wilt show no relenting but continue
fierce and mercess to the end, as Heaven is above
thee, the day of thine own fall, the day that shall
see thee utterly overwhelmed, shall come at last.
And not by all thy glory then,
By armed hosts arrayed,
By pomp and power and mighty men,
Can Gods right arm be stayed!
Then shalt thou feel the earth heaved beneath
and the skies above thee! Then shall thy foes ex-
ult and thine allies tremble then from the warm
south and the chill north, and the golden east shall
ring shouts of derisive triumph-from the isles Of
the sea 60 up peans of rejoicing; and then shall the
angel of freedom appear and roll away the
stone from the sepulchre of Ireands national spirit
bidding it arise to a glorious resurrecton-while
the armed watchers over sleep they deemed eter-
nal stand aghast drop the swords from their pal
sled hands, and faint in their armour.
When thus Ireland thy freed sister, begins anew
her national existence, may she be warned by thy
fall against PRIDE cruelty oppression extortion and
that defiant forgetfulness of God which is the soul
of tyranny.

Annexation in Jamaica.

A late number of the Kingston Conservative
speaks in these terms of the annexation of the Is
land to the United States: "No man in this Is
land yet thinks of aiding foreign arms to dispossess
Great Britain of Jamaica. We have not vet ar
rived even at that state of feeling which would in
duce any nhabitant to lift finger against the an
cient Crown of England. But we must live; we
must assert the rights of our common country
Impressed with these views, there are many who
pray the Great Ruler of all nations so to dispose
events, that amicable secession of this Island
to the United States of America, without quar-
reling bloodshed, may speedily occur For
ourselves, We repeat that we should regret to
see Jamaica leave the ancient fold but we would
not wonder if it occurred tomorrow. So that it
would be done without rebellion, also! too many
would be only glad of it,

Cuba and the United States.

The Havana correspondent of the n O. Picay-
une thus disposes of silly story that was @going
the rounds awhile ago, in some of the newspa-
pers near home. The Picayune writer says:
"There is a foolish rumor going the rounds of
the press in the United States that commission
of six has been sent hither from Spain, to look into
the grievances of the Cubans and with power to sell
the island to Uncle Sam if expedient No such
commission has been heard of here, and every one
at all versed in Spanish character knows full well
that the Court of Madrid would never let the max
ing of such nice little bargain that would be,
pass out of their own hands The story is most
ridiculous"

Christmas among the MormOns.

The holiday season among the Mormons COM
menced on the goth of December last, and contin-
ue until the High Council put an end to them
This Council has adopted some curious regulations
in regard to the persons who shall or shall not be
entitled to participate in the rejoicings The per-
sons not allowed to join in the dance are described
as follows
None who have been communicated from the
church.
None who have broken over its regulations by
dancing out oforder" or in any other way, unless
they first make satisfaction.
Persons in good standing in the church, and also
its friends and we'll wishers though never mem
bers of it, are allowed to dance.
The regulations say:
"Wo unto them that dance with guile or malice
in their hearts towards their neghbor! Wo unto
them that have secretly injured their neghbor or
his or her property! Wo unto them that are min
listers of disorder and evil! If these shall 90 forth
in the dance without confessing and forsakng their
guilt the fiat of the Council is that they seal their
doom byit
Bring all your tithes and your offerings to the
proper place for the poor that there be none hun
cry among us, and let the poor rejoice and then
you may rejoice in the dance to your hearts con-
tent"
