that watering place--was an accomplished

' J several winters occupied commanding
position in the fashionable circles of the ma

By a female slave, who, ON discovering that
she was on the "free soil Of a free State" and
not having the terrors of the Fugitive Slave
Law before her eyes, took French leave of
her mistress On Saturday week last, and has
not since been heard from. On the discov-
ory Of this eopemept, the neishoorlng bills
and Businesses were searched, hut the fugitive
could not be found. The gallant pursuers,
among whom was R. NJ Maeraw, Of Mary
land, returned crest follen and disappointed.
In the meantime, we presume, the fugitive is
for on her way 70 Canada via the Under

COkGRE es,

SEEATE, Dec. 23,-Among the bills introduced was

the Territory Of Arizona An Executive Session was

was entitled to the floor, announced his willingness to
yield for the purpose of taking vote for Speaker
Several Democratic members, however, insisted that
be should either proceed abandon the hoor Mr. r.
then went on with his remarks, showing that The
Richmond Enquirer had, in 1865, uttered much
more strong "irrepressible conflict doctrines than
were charged upon Mr.. Seward. Mr.. +. proceeded
with straightforward, plain speech. He was sub
itcted to much interruption by members questioning
hun. vote for Speaker vas then had, Mr.. Sherman
s lacking only four votes Of election, while the
soatierngs smountedto53. The House then adjourned.
New-York daily tribune., 1859-12-24

One Of the best things in Sir. Famsworth's speech
yesterday, was his response to Mr. Lamar. The
latter gentleman arraigned Gov. Seward for having
said in the Seuate that he looked with longing eye
for the day when not q slave should stand upon
American soil The fiery Mississippian, aiming,
doubtless, to terrify Republicans and inhame his
own partizans, drew vivid picture of the terri
Die visage and mien of our usually calm Senator
when be uttered this " atrocious" sentiment. To
all which Nr. Farrsworth instantly and earnestly
responded, the House loudly aPPlaudiDg, 4" God

New-York daily tribune., 1859-12-24

AT the New England Socety's dinner, on Thurs
day night, Mr. James T. Brady took occasion to
administer an emphatic rebuke to the orators Of the
DsuDiOn Conspiracy, now boldly manifesting itself
in both Houses of Congress, and with equal boldnees
justified by the recent so-called Union meetog IN
this city. Mr.. Brady well said that a Democrat
who breaches the ideas and advocates the policy Of
this Conspiracy deserves o stronger reproOf from
the Democratic party than he could receive from
its opponents That is very true and the fact that
DO such reproof is administered proves that the Con-
spTacy has made such an alarming progress that it
already counts in its ranks the whole Democracy
Of the South, and great portion of it in tbe
North. Nor is this f0rtuitOus Circumstance.
Ever since the Democratic party threw overheard
the national creed Of jackson and Benton to adopt
the sectionaism Of Mr. Calhoun, and along with IL
his notions atOut Slavery, which were 50 ceerly sef
forth BY Dir. 0COnor IN bis recent speech, it has
been matter of logical necessity; tbat it should
also, sooner or later, adopt the theory OF DB-
unloD, and pledge itself to put it in practice, as op-
Iortuniiy may to its Traders to require. Thur,
by perfectly natural process the Democratic party
has been brought TO its present pcsitoni aud all
citizens who wish to correct this evil, and obsiate
the dangers growing out fit, can do 30 efecsusly
only by Joining the Constitutional Republican party.
New-York daily tribune., 1859-12-24

Mr. Farnsvortb's speech in the House yesterday
seems to have stirred up the Southern Democratic
Members most thoroughly. He read the celebrated
extracts from The Richmond ERqxirer of 1855, then
edited by Mr. Pryor, nova member Of the House,
proclaiming an ''irrepressble conflict between
Slavery and Freedom, and declaring that % free
- society" as il existed in the NORTH, was mis-
cradle failure. By the BY, Mr.. Pryor's encounter
with Mr.. Nelson the other day, and now with Mr.
Farnswortb, must have convinced him that in leap
ing from the editorial chair upon the floor of the
Hsuse Of Representatives, he had not fallen upon
bed of roses. Mr.. Farnsworth's response to ques-
toners about Helpers book bit the nail on the head
when be told them it was none of their business
what books he read or recommended. This is the
only proper answer to the impertinent interrega-
tors. However, his I" Black Diamond reterts did
very wei By way Of set-oG, as the lawyers say.
New-York daily tribune., 1859-12-24

Judge Parker, last evening, at the Wiliamsburgh
Cnon-ssviDg meeting, though full of denuuciation
for anything from the North which might offend the
delicate rerves Of the South, had no word of rep
rotation for the avowed disunion declarations of
Democratic Members of Congress. On the con-
trsry be Ead that if the North pursued its present
tendency--tbat s, if majority of the people
should elect Republican Presdent--the South
would, of course, secese. So another Northern
Democratic leader gises ad and comfort to the
Disunion conspirators.
New-York daily tribune., 1859-12-24

The correspondence herewith published between
a Mrs. Mason of Virginia and Mrs. l.. MARIA
CHILD will inevitably attract general attention IL
does not merely present two conflicting views OF a
momentous pending controversy; it faithfully mir,
rors Two diverse conflicting forms OF socley or
stages of human progress. The contrast IN temper,
in command of facts, in appeals to authorities,
aptly reflects the "irrepresSible conflict between
the causes respectively upheld by the adverse cor
respondents. We trust these letters may be so di-
fused that even the disciples of Dir. Charles
OConor may be largely impelled to peruse them,
and that even our late medical students from the
South cannot by their exodus have utterly plugged
their ears against them. Let each side have fair
hearing.
