Massachusetts Legislature.

This body convened on the LIST inst Hon.
Henry Wilson, late editor Of the Emancipator,
was chosen President Of the Senate by ma
jority. Hon. Chouncy L. Knapp, Clerk or Sec
retaly by same vote
A.P. Banks, Jr., was chosen Speaker of the
House by 80 majority, and l.. Joslyn, Clerk, by
10 majority.
The officers Of the Senate are all old reesoil
ers, and those Of the House from he democratic
organization, ogroeaJIy to a previous caucus ar
rangement, which appears to have been harmo-
mousy carried out.
There may be more difficulty in electing Gov.
ernor and U. S. Senator, owing to the combin-
ed bunker influence of the Wcbstcrites and the
Post clique-IIerods and Pilates, who stand
ready to fraternize and do any thing else to de
feat the election ofa treesoil United States Sen
ator
John 6. Pafrey, We see, has addressed a cir.
cular to the freeso members, advising them not
to 20 for Boutwell, for Gov. on the ground that
it wonId not increase heir chances for Senator
but we see the freesoiI papers do not agree with
him, and it certainly appears to US he should
have thought of this before.
We perceive that some of the Boston Hunker
papers affect not to know who Chauncy l..
Knapp is. We VIII tell hem; Mr. X. was from
Montpelier VT, and held the office ofSe rotary
of State, to which he received five consecutive
elections, after which he moved to Lowell, Mas.

Position of the Administration.

It can no longer be claimed by any man
having The slightest pretence to honesty
that the administration does not fully APP
prove Of the legislation of the last session on
the subject of slavery, or that II is not dis
posed to see the enactments sustained and
carried out, the iGfamoas .tagitige STAGE Ian
iRciaded, There is no room for doubt IN
the matter. The Presidents message put
The question at rest He says : be-
Icve the measures to hare ben REQUIR.

NAL SETTLEMENT Of the dangerous
and exciting subjects which they embrac
ed" and, he adds 81 RECOMMEND
your ADLER ENCE to the adjustment eS
taJHshrd by tt0se measures" &c
The President not only endorses and ap
proves of these measure, in the mos, decl
ded and unequivocaI manner, but gives a
broad animation that he will veto any bill
for the repeal oI them or any of them. IT
is SO understood everywhere. This is the
view AIKEN Of hi. language by our Wash
lnglun correspondent, whose letter we pub
Ilshed yesterday So also isit represented
in GIddngs' speech, noticed in uur Con
gre 'siona proceedings, and no administers

no doubt on the subject we quote from the
National lnteIligencer, the leading wing pa
per of Washington, the following passage
IN its editorial leader of Saturday:
No one can doubt, who reads i'll con
necton the passages in the message which
bear upon this object the FIXED DETERMI

care that laws enacted on the subject Shdl
be faithfully crccutcd, but to HOLD ON

This is plain and unequivocal 1t i
"the fixed determination Of our wing
president, to hold on to the fugitive sIav
law and the laws permitting slavery to b
carried into all the immense regions q
New Mexico and Utah, Nth all his might

Fire at Morristown.

The store of Hon. NJ. Fisk, and the adjoining
tavern house ofthe Hon. ]. West of Morrstown,
were, week before last, entirely consumed by
fire. The fire originated in the store from at
tempting to clean a portion of the floor which
had become foul by cutting up meat, with warm
embers. A barrel or can OF Spirits of Furpen
tine stood near and some of that nhamable flu
id had got spread over the place by leakage,
spilIing, or otherwise, it was supposed; for an
unobserved spark in the ashes put on, at once
sprunk into flame, and spreading to the barrel
almost Instantly, filled the store with fire. Mr..
Fisk's loss over insurance in the Mutual, is to-
wards $1,000. Mr.. Vests considerably less.

These wines, which were Of the most costly

sundry leading freesoers, made With view of
supporting him, il found right on the slavery
question, wrote letter coudemnng the slave

clique, went post-hase to his residence, and,
taklng charge of him almos vi ct arms, stuck
by TIL they had made him sign another letter
approving of all the late COMPROMISE meas

1t is still mooted question there, we believe,
whether Atwood, who had the weakness to sign
the last letter, or the corrupt band of politicians
who forced linn against his will to the act is
most to be despsed. More powder has been
spent by the press in N. II. and Mass, in this
affair." it appears to US, than the game is worth
There will good grow ont Of the transaction,
however. The Hunkers, whose course has been
condemned by the Manchester Democrat, one of
their organs formerly, have determined to put

for such causes, will probably make it good
