Somtag.

The New York papers inform us that Madame
Sontag, the celebrated vocalist, arrived in that
city on Sunday evening" on board the steamship
Arctic; and, though she landed at late hour, a
crowd of people were in waiting on the wharf to
get sight of her--in which they were disap-
pointed, as she was closely yelled. During the
voyage of the Arctic, concert was got up among
the passengers for the benefit of the crew, at
which Sontag sung several fine pieces of music.
On the following Sabbath, religious services took
place, in which Sontag took part in the choir,
and sung several beautiful sacred pieces. Pre-
vous to the sailing of the Arctic from Liverpool,
it was reported that Sontag had changed her
mind, and would not visit America this season.
The agents of the Collins line believing the re-
port let to other parties the cabins that had been
intended for her, and when at length she applied
it was with difficulty she could be accommodated.
These particulars are Of course, excessively i'm
portant. Sontag is titled lady Her songs,
however, are what concern US.

''The speech of this gentleman on the repeal
of the fugitive slave law is conceded on all sides
to be the ablest that was ever delivered in Con-
gress on the same side of the question. 1t will
produce, it is feared, incalculable mischief.
Southern members of Congress have been heard
to remark that it would do more injury than all
the clamor of the Abolitionists Thousands and
tens of thousands of copies of this speech will
be issued in pamphlet form and scattered broad
cast over the free States The supporters Of
General Pierce are making arrangements for its
distribution among the voters at the North. The
New York Evening Post says: We shall publish
Mr.. Summers speech in cheap pamphlet, and

An intelligent writer in the National Intelli-
gencer Of this morning, who processes to under
stand the political condition of this State, says
that ii win 20 for Scott and Graham by more than
sight thousand uotes He afirms that the recent
elections are not stated as 10 shoso The true state
of the caset The popular vote Of the State is
shown in the election Of the House of Commons,
as well as in the election of governor In elect
ing both every man in the State can vote Al
though Reid the Democratic candidate, is elected
governor, yet the Wings not only have a majority
Of four in the House Of Commons, but in the
popular vote polled for that House the Why's
shoo majority Of several thousand in the State
He states that Reid is elected governor because
he was the free suffrage candidate. The legisla-
ture consists of Senate and a House of Com
mons. Every man can vote in the Commons
No man can vote for Senator unless he owns
fifty acres of land. Those who do own it vote
sand voters in the Commons. There are about
forty thousand Senate voters Therefore, there
are about fifty thousand men in the State who
for want. of land, cannot vote in the Senate
Governor Reid proposes to give them this priv
lege, regardless of land. This is what is called
free suffrage. Reid as ats author and peculiar
cA4gpton. Starting it four years ago, he came
within eight hundred votes of defeating his pop
ular competitor, Gov Manly. Urging it again
two years ago, he did defeat Gov. Manly by about
twenty-eight hundred votes. Being elected, he
found in the legislature friends enough to pass
his measures by three-ffths of each house, as re-
CURED by the constitution. Still ii istosbe passed
again By taco-thirds Of each House before it can be-
come etfectual, according to the constitution. To
get his favorite measure passed was the great OBJ
ject avowed by him in the recent campaign The
writer states that were another election to take
place, free suffrage candidate acould beat an oppo-
aent Of 1t fifteen or tscenty thousand potes. In the
county elections, also, the same question Of free
suffrage has operated against the Wings. The
writer speaks highly of Mr.. Kerr as noble
hearted Wing and great orator, but says he saw
that his defeat was inevitable under the circum-
stances. We hare to add here that aehere such an
issue cas presented he neUer could hare received
oote Vahia our influence. The writer adds the as
surance that Scott and Graham will carry the
State as certainly as Pierce and King will carry
either Virginia or Alabama. Four years ago,
Manly beat Reid only eight hundred votes, free
suffrage then beginning to gain ground. Yet
Taylor carried the State three months after by
nearly nine thousand Betting, he admits, is not
evidence; but he will say that not single bet
can be got on Pierce and King in North Carolina
on the vote of that State.
