The Cooks who minister to the Hunker aPpe-

of their way to assail the political satire on the

The Mystery Unveiled,

We have received the following informa-
ton from correspondent in Washington,
upon whose statements we can place full
reliance:
"Sr H. Bulwer has addressed letter

Clayton treaty had no reference whatever
to the Mosquito protectorate,' and that it
has left entirely untouched the English oc-
cupa,ion of San JAN de Nicaragua This
letter Mr.. Wooster has led b-fore the COM

The Philadelphia Slave Case

Another case has occurred in Phiiadel-

the fugitive slave law. ~
a woman named Tamar Williams has
been arrested by warrant from the nHtori.
GUS Lagraham, as the property ofone Pnr-
nell, Of Md from whose sainted filher she
fed in 1929! Slnce that time she has had
FIVE children, the eldest seventeen years of
age.
She was betrayed, as appeared from the
evidence, by a muIatto, who received
eIOO for the deed. Her husband, one f
the Philadelphia papers states, owned the
house in which she lived, but the poor fell
low was also arrested at the same time as
tie slave of another man--to be kept safe
till warrant could be got Even that
hardened class, the Philadelphia city Item
izers. we're touched with the agony of the
woman at being separated from her chill

The examination was transferred by hd-
beos carpus from lngraham to Judge Kane,

One of the Features of Slavery.

which covers me, there tolls in hopeless

The Day Book has taken strong groa

publishing the names Of merchants in this
city who live on southern trade, and at the

trade in publishing abolition tracts and

Aggressions of the Slave Power.
Mr. Error: ......
Inc slavery question is every day becoming
more and more important in the minds of the
people of the United States, and is regarded az
question of vital interest by all who have any
regard for Freedom and the poor down-troeden
slave.
Every day the slave power Of our FREE ~
REPUBLIC is making some bold aggressions up.
on tho Free States, to make them auxiliary In
sustaining the God-abhorred, inhuman, Anti-Re-
publican Institution of Slavery. For instance.
the Fugitive Slave bill of the last Congress,
which Is an act that is utterly destitute of the
least particle Of principle of any human feelings.
and wrongly imposes upon the people Of the Free
States, obligations that they never will consent
to carry out as long as they haveany feeling for

and for the principles Of universal liberty. This
act Is shameless piece of American Lepisla.

Fur the freeman.
Secretary Webster and Lord
North.

Mr.. EDITOR:
When was boy the contest with Great
Britain was coming on, and people talked about
Non Resistance and Divine Right; two old g.
ants, who had long been pampered in the courts
Of Europe, and were terror to all the OPPres'
sed. These old giants held, that kings and PoPs'
,Vere made 10 rule OVer men, held their Office 81
Divine Right and that Il iCas an act 81 re0eS''O"
against God, To oppose any Of their f6'rs' that inc
people belonged to their rulers, were made to
serve them, and must not resist their VIII IN any
case. And there was class of our people who
professed to like these old giants, and harooFeo
them in their houses. These were called ToFies'
enemies to their country, the slaves OF DeePot-
ism. Some of these were tarred and teatheFed,
some banished, and others went OIL with the
British from Boston so that It was hoped the
whole would be, removed.
But cat has more lives than one; and the
old Tory Race seem to be Of the cat kind XIII
them once, and yet they live. And from various
demonstrations, the last year seems to have been
very prolific in producing old Tories; so that
the old giants have renewed their age, and lii
up their heads with great boldness. And
voice is heard from high places, !extolllng Non
Resistance, and requiring all to fall down and
worship him.
And it is reported that these old giants have
stalked into some pulpits, and held forth the old
Tory doctrine Of the Divine Right of kings, and
Non Resistance to the Ruling powers. And
many presses are lending their aid to the Tory
Party so t.lst Torylsm is springlng up on every
hand, and the principles of our Revolution must
all be fought over again. And if the Tory doc
trine be true, we ought to condemn our Revolt"
tionary fathers, disband our government, and re-
turn as supplian!s to Great Britain. For if as'

Daniel Webster's Opinion.

We are reluctant to quote from this trait
or to fleeeom, but his opinion should hav,
weight with those who support him, In
his speech in the Senate last winter, he
SAID .s..

ton addresses itself to the Legislatures Of
the States, or to the States themselves. 1t

SLOW POISON.

The subject of slow poisoning is one with
respect to which there has been considerable
superstition. Beck tells lis that in Italy It was
formerly believed that pUisons were invented TOR
destroying life at any given period. Of course
poisonJ might be given in small quantities, from
time to time, 80 as to impair health, and evenIl-
ally cause death but this is moi the idea which
is commonly entertained on this point. That
some poisons will operate long alter the period
of their administration or application, is proved
BY the fact that the uiruS Of hydlophobia is ca
pable of remaining so long in latent condition.
1t is said that the period of incubation, as 1t is
called, varies from six weeks to eighteen months.
We know of no poisons however, which can de-
termine death at particular and precise periods.
The ancients are supposed to have given con-
siderable attention to this subject, but no doubt
much fiction is mixed up with these accounts
ss poison prepared from aconite which could
be moderated in such manner HIS to have effect
two or three months, or at the end Of wear or
two years.
s,me of the slow poisons of the ancienta
were given as hair powders, and contained pre-
paretiong Of lead, which were thus gradually in
troduced into the system. These we've called
think. by the French, the PoudreS de Success
sion, and for very obvious reason. A great
deal, huwever, which we read about the slow
poissns is exaggerated or altogether erroneous,
especially what relates to their determining
death ut remote but precise periods. tlsprob
able that many of these stories have originated
in the then prevailing doctrines of anathemaS and
HitchcEaft.
