Church Anti.slaverv sooistv.

BosToN, May q The first anniversary of
the Church Anti-Slavery Society was held
yesterday. Rev.. G. Webster Of Hopkinton
presided, and addresses were made by Rev.
}. n Murdoch, Rev. Mr.. Mccormick of Ohio.
Rev. Gilbert Haven of Cambridge, Rev. L. C.
Haven and others. Rev Gilbert Haven advo.
Gated the right of the church to interfere with
the system of slavery and prevent the rendi-
ton of any fugitive from the South. The fol-
towing resolutions were introduced and adopt
ed
Resolved, That in view of the pains and
penalties lately incurred by brethren at Ober-
lin for their noble humanity in the rescue of
colored fugitive from the grasp of the upright
eous fugitive slave bill, we tender them our
warmest sympathy. And we hereby declare
that we deem their conduct in the premises to
have been eminently humane, right, and
Christian; and knowing as we do no law for
slavery, we deem it our duty, the duty of
every citizen and every Christian, to aid to
the utmost of his ability the escaping bond
man, and thus, if possible render practically
null and void one Of the most atrocious acts
that has ever disgraced the legislation of
country called Christian.
Resolved, further that, in our judgement,
while the men who framed iniquity into that
wicked law, will be more and more covered
with infamy, the righteous nullifiers and break
ers of that law shall be held in everlasting re-
membrance.

lutions were also read declaring that the Fugi-
tive Act was unconstitutional and void, and
that the Supreme Court had degenerated, and
that it was subservient to party politics. that
the life tenure should be abolished and the
judicial circuits remodelled that the convic-
ton of the 0berlin rescuers was disgraceful
and unparalleled; that the prisoners were en-
titled to their liberty and that the freedom OF
the country rests upon the great Republican
party. Speeches were made by Hon. Messrs.

Horrible sufferings of the Pixies Peak Victims
from Starvation.

ST. LOUIS, May 24.-The regular cores
pondent of vhe Democrat, writing from Denver
City on the 9th inst, recounts a most depora-
BILE condition ofthings on the Plains. Many #
the emigrants were dying of starvation, whilst
others were subsstng on prickly pears and
wild onions found along the road. The stage
agent reports picking up man named Blue
who was reduced to a skeleton from starva
ton. He had started with his two brothers one
ofthem died, and the remaing two ate his body !;
another died, and he, in turn, was devour
ed by the survivor. A man named
Gibbs had reached the mines in a starving
condition, and he expressed the opinion that
his party, numbering nine, had all persisted
Many graves are reported along the route, and
much property had been abandoned and de-
stroyed on the road. The writer of the letter
says the departures from the mines are about
equal to the arrivals. About five hundred re-
turning emigrants reached st. Joseph on Sat
urday, all of whom confirm the previous ac-
counts of the suffering and privations on the
Plains

must necessarily have their passports vised by
the French Consul at the port from which they
sail Those for the continent by way of Eng
land, and who may go to London, viii have
their passports vised by the American lega-
ton, whatever may be their destination Per
sons going to the Spanish West Indies will
have their passports viSed by the Spanish Con-
sui at the port from which they sail. Natural
lied citizens applying for passports must send
to the State Department their naturalization
papers, which will be returned, together with
subscription of their persons. This is all that
is required Since the commencement of the
present administration about fourteen hundred
passports have been issued at the State Depart
ment, and they are now issued at the rate of
from forty to sixty day.
PURSUING WAR SruD1Es.-Col. Steptoe,
Captains Carr and Paler, and Lieut.. Pegram
have obtained leave of absence with permits
sion to visit Europe. Although it is probable
they will witness the warlike movements,
they go there as private individuals and not by
the order Of this government as body of OBJ
servation.

CAPT. PERKINS CLAIM.-Attorney-G General
Black to-day decided the question submitted
to him by the State department on the claims
of Capt b. W. Perkins against the Russian
government This decision settles the right
of Capt. Perkins to recover under his contract
to furnish one hundred and fifty tons of pow
der, and $4,000 stand of arms. Some impor-
tant questions were not fully disposed OF, but
the integrity OF such contracts was fully main
tanned. The entire amount involved is about
$3S5,000, which will probably be paid on the
return of the Russian Minister who is
daily expected from Europe. This decision
has, it is considered, a most important bearing
upon the supplying munitions of war to for
eign governments engaged in warfare. The
counsel for Mr.. Perkins were Ex-Attorney
Gen. Gushing, Ex-senator Cooper and Jos. B.
Stewart.
