lated; consequently, a Committee was ap- pointed to bring forth such Resolutions as would meet the wishes of the Order, as well as the demands of the Constitution of the United States. Hence, after much difficulty and contention on the question of Slavery, asmall majority of the Committee offered the following report : » * Resolved,--That the American party, having arisen upon the ruins and in spite of the opposi- tion of the Whig and Democratic parties, cannot 'be heid in any manner responsible for the obnoxi- |. 'eus acts or violated pledges of either; that the systematic agitation of the slavery question by those parties has elevated sectional hostility into 'a*positive element of political power, and brought 'our institutions into peril. It has therefore be- "come the imperative duty#of the American party to-interpose, for the purpose of giving peace to the 'country and perpetuity to the Union. That as experience has shown itas impossible to recon- 'cile opinions so extreme as those which separate 'the disputants, and as there can be no dishonour in submitting to the laws, the National Council thas deemed it the best guarantee of common jus- - 'tice'and of future peace to abide by and maintain the existing laws upon the subject of slavery, as ' «spirit and in substance. ©" Resolved,--That regarding it the highest duty to avow those opinions upon a subject so impor- 'tant, indistinct and unequivocal terms, it is here- by declared as the sense of this National Council, that Congress possesses no power under the Con- stitution to legislate upon the subject of Slavery in the' States, er exclude any State from admission inte the Union because her Constitution does: or 'does not recognize the Institution of Slavery as a part of hersocial system ; and expressly pretermit-. ting any expressions of epinion upon the power of Congress to establish or prohibit Slavery in any Territory. Itis the sense of this National Council that Congress ought not to legislate upon the subject of Slavery within the Territories of 'the United States, and that any interference of Congress with Slavery as it exists in the District 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. * The New York delegates of all the Nor- thern States gave their strength to the South. . minority report, however, was promptly presented, which, touching Slavery, reads as follows : a © Resolved,-That the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was an. infraction of the plighted faith of the Nation, and that it should be restored; and if efforts to that end shall fail, Congress should refuse jto- admit any State tolerating Slavery which shall be formed out of any portion of the Territory from which that Institution was excluded by that Compromise. » By this unusual degree of firmness on the part of the North, the contest waxed exceed- ing warm, each party refusing to yield, not- withstanding individuals would occasionally press a compromise. Verily, for once, "Sam" "caught a Tartar.' The North, though nominally defeated, had the manliness to secede at least twelve of the States, which was, doubtless, the signal for the overthrow of the entire hopes of the new movement ; at any rate, so far, as it counted on the North to help to strengthen Slavery. The dissolution 'seems irreparable, and the sad effect quite visible, Certainly, the cause of freedom 'has reason to be glad.

The United States Mail steamer Sé. - Louis arrived here to-day, bringing news to the 6th instant. 'The Asia arrived at Liverpool on the 2nd, and the Hermann reached Cowes on the fol- lowing day. Scarcely had the Aélantic left Liverpool with the news of the great success which had taken place on the part of the allies against the Russians, when further intelligence in re- ference to their position in the Sea of Azoff reached England. From a despatch which has been received at the Admiralty from Sir E. Lyons, dated Kertch, 21st May, it appears that the squad- ron in the Sea of Azoff appeared before Lenitchim, and landed a body of seamen and mariners, and after driving the Russian force from the place, had .destroyed all the ports 'and vessels laden with corn and supplies for the Russians. "| Only one man was wounded since entering the Sea of Azoff. Four steamers of war and two hundred and forty vessels employed in conveying troops to the Russian army in the Crimea have been destroyed. The Moniteuwr, of the 4th instant, furnishes the following from General Pelissier :--" To the Minister of War: Crimea, June 1.-- We have sprung two mines in front of the Flagstaff Battery; the second explosion did considerable damage to the enemy in the ravine of Careen Bay, in advance of our works. Our engineers discharged a transverse line of twenty-two cubic cases filled with gunpowder, each forty centimetres thick on the inside, placed at equal distances, and furred just beneath the sod, each containing 115. of a tilodrame of powder, and covered with a fulminating apparatus, which would explode by the simple pressure of the foot. The cases have been taken up by the En- glish"' Later adviees from the Sea of Azoff states that the Allies have destroyed about 250 vessels and 6 million rations of corn and flour destined for the Russian army. = Conferences at Vienna were formally closed at a late sitting held on the 4th inst. The London Morning Herald in a tele- graph despatch dated the 2nd inst, states that the Allies had taken the town of Stran- gchi at the mouth of the Putrid Sea--burn- ed a month's rations of the whole Russian army and destroyed the shipping. ~ A despatch from Prince Gortschakoff dat- éd 29th May, states that the allies have oc- cupied Kertch, but have not pushed inwards. He reports that in consequence of the mea- sures which he has adopted, the allies will not be able to cut off the the communica- tion of the Russian army. "The Court Gazette, Be Frankfort, pub- lishes a despatch from Odessa to the effect that the Russians are raising batteries to can- nonade the channel near Gentchi, which con- nécts the Putrid sea with the Sea of Azoff. . Another dispatch says that General Gorts- chakoff had arrived at Perekop with his division of infantry. General Goosenvail had also arrived at Perekop.: _ Letters from Berlin to the Ist inst., states that the success of the Allies in the Sea of Azoff had nade a deep impression there. -- It is observed that the large proportion of cavalry in the Russian army will cause the stoppage of supplies from the country of the Don to be felt with peculiar pressure by the enemy. On the 23rd there was 190 cases of Cholera. ARRIVAL OF THE " ASIA." - Tourer Days Later News! Hatirax, June 20. The Royal mail steamsnip Asia, Captain Lott, arrived at this port early this morning. She left Liverpool on the afternoon of Sa- turday, the 9th instant. _ Her advices are.three days later than those received by tha St, Louis. The Asca will probably reach Boston in evening train on Thursday. The news is again of a highly exciting The bombardment of Sebasto- pol recommenced on the 6th inst., and on the day of the Asza's sailing a despatch was received from Lord Raglan, dated June 8th, 6 P. M., announcing, after a fierce bombard- ment, the French attacked and carried the Mamelon and the White Tower. The great- est gallantry was displayed on both sides. The loss of the Russians and French was very great, but no figures are given, This event gave great buoyancy to pub- he feeling, and: caused a slight rise in con- sols.

Ota tainted wre Colored Exhibitors at the Ohio Me- ~ ghanics' Institute. The annual Exhibition of this Institution, was closed Saturday evening, June 2nd. The display, though not perhaps equal to that of former years, was good, and the visitor was well repaid. We were pleased to find that both in the ornamental and use- ful departments, the colored people were well represented. In the first was Ball, with a magnificent array of Daguerreotypes, in neat gilt frames. The competitors of Ball may boast, each of his peculiar excel- lence, this one of the softness and délicacy of his pictures, that of the clearness of his work, another of the life-like truthfulness of his productions, but Ball combines the ex- cellencies of all, and leaves nothing more to be desired in a daguerreotype. Mr. Ball was last year awarded a silver medal by the Institute, in testimony of the excellency he has attained in his art. In the Agricultural department, was Mr. Andrew J. Smith, of Piqua, Ohio, who has invented a most ingenious machine, which he calls "The Patent Corn-sheller and Cleaner." The peculiar excellence of Mr. Smith's Sheller, consists of this, that it cleans the corn, at the same time;that it. shells, as much or more than any other machine in use. The corn is placed two or three ears at one time in the hopper, from whence it falls on a eylinder, revolving in a hollow iron plate, both plate and cylinder being plen- tifully bestuck with short iron teeth, by whose attrition the corn is nicely cleaned from the cob. Corn and cob fall together, on a per- forated endless carrier, the grains drop though the holes in the carrier, while the cob is conveyed to the end of the machine and thrown on the floor. As the corn falls through the carrier, a current of wind set in motion by a. fan, connected with the machine, drives out the husk at the same place where the cobs fall, and the corn falls to the bottom of the drawer, free from both. Mr. Smith was awarded a first class premium by the committee on agricultural implements, the first model of his machine, the inventor cut out with his jack knife, while at work in a barber shop. He has secured a patent for his "sheller," and is making arrangements for manufacturing them for sale.

The particulars, as contained in his letter, are as follows : He states he went to New Orleans in the employ of a horse-trainer, and at the end of two months he discovered that his master was seeking to sell him as a slave. Here- upon he left his employment, but " having no pass or protection," he was thrown into prison, and now in three months will be sold for jail dues, unless the humane come to his ¥Yescue.

TortTuRE iN THE SoutH.--The papers will also convey to you a tale of horror which will make the ears of those who read it tin- gle. It is in this wise: Some months ago, a negro man violated a young woman in the County of Sumpter, Ala., and to conceal his crime, murdered the victim of his lust and horribly mutilated her. He was imprisoned at the time, and though removed for a short time out of the county for trial at another court, has not been out of the hands of the officers of justice until last Thursday night. A party of men went to the prison, and un- der pretence of desiring to imprison another culprit, whom they brought in irons with them, they gained admission to his cell. This was at 10 o'clock at night, and from that time until 10 the following morning, they exercised their ingenuity in torturing him! 'They finished this refined amusement by burning him alive at the stake! 'The crime was great ; but good heaven, what shall we say of the punishment, or by what name callit! Torture a human creature twelve hours in all the hellish ways that devils incar- season for mails to be despatched in the | nate know so well how to invent, in this Nineteenth Century, and in a Christian eoun- try! The Feejees are no longer savages. Sumpter' County, Ala., has achieved the without a parallel in the annals of bratality in any land. Iiynch law may sometimes find a justification in the insecurity of the prison of a new country, or the venality of the offi- cers of justice, as in Callifornia in former times ; but this ought never to be dignified even by the doubtful title of a case of lynch law. It was demoniac revenge, gloating for hours upon the agonies of its helpless victim. The perpetrators of this deed were not Clris- tians of course, but Christian men do not denounce it in such lauguage as it deserves. -- Cor. N. Y. Tribune. The U.S. and France. The reader will recollect that many months ago, some difficulty occurred with Dillon the French Consul at San Francisco. The French Minister of Foreign Affairs demanded that Mr. Dillon should have a salute when his flag was hoisted and that Mr. Marcy uniformly refused to make any recognition whatever. Since that time no progress has been made in the affair. For the reason that the French Cabinet insist- ed upon the position which it had taken, while the American Cabinet as firmly in- sisted on its own. The affair has been recently brought before the American Mi- nister in a manner to convince him that the time for a settlement had arrived, and that further delay would only embarrass the ease. The American Minister, by some means, has seen the letters written by this Mr. Dillon to the French State Department, and these letters are said to be so insulting and so outrageous toward the government and people of the United States that our Minister has not only peremptorily refused to make any concessions on the position long ago taken by Mr. Marcy, but he has deemed the case of sufficientjimportance to make it the subject of a strong recommenda- tion to the Government at Washington to take some official action against Mr. Dillon. --Albany Register.

(Se Provincial. Coroner's Inquests, : An inquest was held at Hickman's tavern, opposite the Queen's wharf, on Saturday, last, upon the;body of Bartholomew Connor, a young man lately working at the steam shovel, on the line of the Toronto and Hamil- 'ton Railroad. It appeared from the evi- dence that the deceased, who bore an ex- cellent character, got his monthly pay on Friday, and he in company with a comrade named Michael Sword left their shanty on the commons and went down to the city and got drunk ; they|proceeded home, but on their way got separated, and the decased appears to have'lost:his way, and falling into the rail- way cut through the commons, was killed. He was found that morning lying in the cut, and had apparently fallen on his head, from a height of sixteen feet. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." An Inquest was held on Friday evening, by Coroner Duggan, in the Asylum, on the body of James Brown Meredith, a patient in that institution. From the testimony adduced it appeared that the deceased had died from an apoplectic fit. A verdict was rendered accordingly. An Inquest was held on{Saturdayevening in the hospital, upon the body of the little boy who died from injuries received on the railroad, mentioned in Saturday's Globe. The jury appeared to be satisfied that no blame could.be attached to the officials con- nected with the railroad.

Srrance Accipent on Sunpay.--On Sunday, while the Congregation was coming out of the Parish Church, on the Place d'Armes, a stone suddenly fell from one of the towers, and cut off the toes of one of the feet of a person standing below. The stone proved to be'the cap of the pinnacle on the north-west corner of the western tower. The cause of its falling is supposed to be r the attachment of the fly ofa large flag, whose staff was planted in the tower, to the stone which fell; the flags was thus made to draw like asail, and in a puff of wind loosened the stone from its bed in the mortar. It is almost miraculous that more mischief was not done--The stone weighed 386 lbs., and fell from a height of 250 feet---Montreal Herald. oe Destructive Firzs ix Port Horr.-- Thursday, 5 o'clock, P. M.--It is with deep regret we stop the Press to announce a most destructive and calamitous fire, that took place here this afternoon. About 30'clock, P. M., the building occupied asa store-house and counting-house, by the Harbour Master, was discovered to be on fire, the flames issuing from the roof of the building, where there was a sail loft. The burning element soon com- municated with the adjacent storehouses, where upwards of 3,000 barrels of flour stow- ed ready for shipping were all destroyed, with the exception of about 200 barrels that were saved. There is also from 150,000 to 200,000 feet of sawed lumber consumed in the confla- gration. Mr. Sager's, " Canada House," and a whole row of cottages were at one time in imminent danger of being destroyed also; but through the great exertions of the Fire Com- panies, and other inhabitants, they happily escaped. Besides the flour and lumber burnt, there were three large Storehouses and vari- ous articles of Merehandize &c., all consumed. The Harbour Master's books, papers, &c., were all burnt up. The estimated loss of this most calamitous and disastrous fire cannot at a rough calculation be less than £9,000.

The person who shall send, before the 5th of July, the largest amount above $500, will, in ad- dition to commissions, be Presented with a Piano, valued at $200. I have been induced to make the above liberal offers in order to remove a settled objection in the minds of your committee, to having the distribu- tion take place while there remain in my hands tickets unsold, and for which cause they seem fit to defer the partition of the gifts, which was fixed for the 27ih inst., to the 5th of July, as will be secn by reference to their proceedings, published below. I assure you that the postponement is as vexatious tome as it is to those who have pur- chased tickets. I therefore hope that each and every one now interested, will co-operate with me in the effort to dispose of the few thousand tickets remaining unsold, and thus advance the interests of the whole body of shareholders.

At a meeting of the Committee of Shareholders of Perham's Gift Enterprise, held atthe Academy Hall, Broadway, on Wednesday Evening, April 18th, 1855, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted and ordered to be printed :-- Whereas, in view of the fact that several enter- prises have been started and carried on with a seeming positive purpose of defrauding those who could be persuaded to purchase tickets therein ;: and such fraudulent proceedings have exerted an injurious influence 'in the sale of tickets in the enterprise of Mr. Perham; and whereas, it is deemed essential that all the tickets should be disposed of before the distribution takes place, be it therefore Resolved, That in order to allow time for that purpose, the distribution be postponed until the oth of July, at such place as may hereafter be determined on.

The flight of his parents for freedom--their capture, and return to slavery and their second flight; a history of their lost boys,-who were stolen and sold into slavery---the death of one of them, and the redemption of the other by the purchae of himself ; and the final purchase for the enormous sum ot five thousand dollars, The paintings, comprising the scenes of " Un- cle Tom's Cabin," are the production of an emi- nent French artist, and show as large as life, and represent the most prominent scenes and charac- ters in the work, In order to render our labors more effectual and create moré general interest and benefit, we propose the following arrangements, viz:--To give one half of the receipts to any Church or | Society, or regularly appointed committee by the puplic, who will provide a place, secure an audience, and defray the expenses incident to the meeting. An arrangement by which every Church or Society in the country may replenish their funds, aid their pastors, or whatever other benevolent object that commends itself to public patro- nage. Let such then who would help the cause, help themselves, and help us in our feeble endeavours to enlist the public ear to the cries of bleeding humanity; go at once to work, communicate im. mediately with us preparatory to an exhibition. We shall not however confine ourselves to that deplorable and humiliating aspect of the co- lored man's case, repesented in that work. But we promise at no distant date, a new pro- stamme of very different scenes, representing not only an entirely original, but a far more hopeful aspect of the black man, than has eyer been pre- sented to the American public. It is neither egotism, nor yet flattery, in us to say that this mode of giving instruction pos- sesses the double merit of engaging these two most Paper faculties that man possesses-- the mind and the sight at the same time, and making an ineffacable impression. It is not as being necessarily dependent and degraded, then that, we shall confine our exhibitions of his character. There have been places where, and times when the black man of modern times has proven him- self the patriot, the statesman, and the warrior. As such, then, let him be known to the world, that it may acknowledge it, and to our youth, that they may imitate their example and copy their virtues. We suffer more perhaps, from false represen- tation, than all other ills put together. Those amongst us who have acted the part of | patriot are represented to be vicious and ungov- ernable: and those whom the most direful and erushing prejudices have debarred from the op- portunities for higher development are represent- ed as submissive willing underlings. Generation after generation are stamped with the same false impressions, and learn to assume it on the one hand, and regard it as a fixed inevitable fact on the other. We are arranging a new and a very extensive programme of Distinguished Colored Men and the incidents with which they have been connect- ed and acquitted themselves honorably--such as Articus, "the first martyr of the Revolution," the "Colored Regiments at the Battle of New Orleans," and the distinguished and most promi- nent " black leaders" who freed the first spot dis- covered by Columbus, that was first desecrated to slavery--Hispanola--now Hayti.
