And, inasmuch as Christianity, bv the Consti tutions of nearly mU 'he Sttes X by the decisions ff the most eminent judicial authorities ; nod bv t ie consent of the pt-ope of America, is consid ered an element of nur political system ; and, as j 'tie Holy Bible is at once I he source of Christi.mi ty, and the jb'pository and foODtnia ol nil c vil and religious Ireedom, wo oppose every ntiompt to ex c'ude it from the schools thus established in the j 'ntes.

'I0'i o the slavery questi n bv those parties hay ing elevated soctional hostility to positive efe 'nent nl political power, and brought our institu- into peril, it has thereforo become the imper "hve duty ol tho American party to interpose for the purpose ol" giving peace to the couptry and perpciuity to the Union. And as experience has I 9hown 'l mpfssilTle to rrcnmrile opinions go ex . i t trrme as those which a'pir. th disputant, and is I Here can .e rm dm h.uirvr in sohinittmrr ... -e v UK laws, the i.in.,iial Council ,a-i ilt emed it the best guarantee of common justice and of future penc to abide by and maintain the existing laws upon I he subject of slavery, as a final and conclusive I settlement of that subject, in spirit and substance. And, regarding it iIip highest dutT to avow ih r f,B uPon snhj. c: so important, in distinct and unequivocal terms, it is batch? declared as ,ne sense of the Nntit.nal C " r,wcr uum-r me oostituMon, ifl kgi- late upon the subject of slavery in the S'.ati where it does or may exist, or to exclude any Stale from admission into the Union, because its Con8!itulion does or does not recognize the insti tution of slavery a a part of its social system ; and expressly pretermitting any expressing or ex pression of opinion upon the power ol Congress to establ l i ;i ;, i . - rr isti or prohibit slavery in anv Jerritory, . ; - J ' lense of the Vitional Council that t.on- it is the sense gre3S ought not to legislate upon tho subject of slavery Within the 1 erntories of the United States, and that any interference by Congress with slave- ry as it exists in the District of Columbia, would be a violation of the spirit and intention of the compact by which the State of Maryland ceded the District to the United States, and a breach of the national faith. XIII. The policy of the Government of the United States, in its relations with foreign govern ments, islo exact justice from the strongest, and do justice lo the weakest; restraining, by all its citizens from interference with whom we are at pence. XIV. The National Council declares that all the principles of the order shall be henceforward everywhere openly avowed ; and that eEch mem ber shall be at liberty to make known the exist ence of the order, and the fact that he himself is a member, and it recommends that there be no con- ceniment ol tne places ot meeting ol suoorainate councils.

A Wedding Pahty Poisojted. On Wednes day last, as we learn from the Petersburg Ex press, a wedding party, consisting of about one hundred persons, were poisoned at the residence of Mr. Kane, in Scott county. Mr. If. S. Kane, nn eminent lawyer of that county, was married on Tuesday night, to Miss Sarah, daughter of Col. Anderson, and on the night after a party was given at his house. At a late hour in the even ing, about 30 of the guests were taken ill about the same time, and that fact inducing the belief that they had all been poisoned, a dreadful scene of consternation enUd, dancing was Stopped and physicians sent lor, but before they t before they arrived the sickness had become general and the patients were enduring the most horrid Sgony fmm arsen ic. The servants of the house were nil taken ill at the same time, and there was no one on the ground to render aid until the arrival ol neighbors who were sent for. The correspondent of the Express said that the caaes of about 30 of the party were hopeless, nnd th -y were not expected to live, and nmon them was ihe young and beeutiful bride. Upon an snalzation of the eusWrd il w is found to be strongly impregoaied wi'li arsenic. The greateat rxcilemenl prevailed in tie county in re lation to it.

A Mr. Bishoti has since died fron le ' n; els of the poison, and, we learn, that seven or eight more were not expected to survive among tle m three of the sons of Mrs. Neal, residing at Stock Creek, near Clinch river. A negro has been ar res ed, (whether man or woman we could not as ccrtHin.) and we learn that there is strong reason lo believe thai he or she was instigated to the net by a white woman. How to Cook Potatoes. Potatoes of ihi season are very poor eating, unless rightly cooked, nnd not one in a bundled known how tu 1L1 that. Treated as in the fall and winter, they come upon the table watery, soli I, and every way disagreea ble. A Vermont woman, who has surprised us by making old potaio-s as good as new, dry, niea'v and fresh, has disclosed to us the process she puts them through to effect so desirable a result. The potatoes are pared and put to soak in cold water from lour to six hours ; ih n drop ped into water which is already boiling an es sential point and a little salt added to water im- proves them. Tike them from the fire the mo ment they are done ; pour on nil the water and let them stand uncovered in the kettle over Ihp fire until the water evaporates from the surface, ;md thev arc rendv for the table. The resuit will Stoatsh llmse who try it tor the first time, nnri - J they will never return to ihe olJ method of boiling them with the skins on.

If suppuration takes place, it passes off, but if not. death is sure to foHow. There is no rontasrit n ibout it, and it is not epidemic in any lorm. One or two physicians have resoried to the knife, and cut out the plague spot on its fir-st appearance, and ; to have saved life. Fever and delirium attend the j progress of the disease, if " the spot' is lelt to spead. Such is our information, but as we have seen no case with oyr own eyes, and if we had, j should not be able to describe it scientifically, what we say must be taken with this understand ing.
