TmE RUSSIAN WAR.

The Lcndon Times publishes a despatch
announcing that Russia had consented to
evaouato the Turkish territory as mark of
high consideration for Austria. On the 9TH
er hand, the Gazette des Postes SAYS that
the answer Of Russia has not yet come, and
that since the late journey Of the Prussian
King, there beed he no Illusion as to its
character. The Gazette positively states
thai the Court Of st. Petersburg is resolved
to reply in the negative to the Austro .Prus-
sian requirement, but SO as to render other
negotiations possible Russia will continue
to occupy Moldavia, the river Seretb which
forms the boundary between the two Princi
palities, Will be guarded and fortified camp
there formed. The Austrians. we are assn
red, will enter Wallaehia, and the detached
Turkish corps will evacuate Lesser Walla-
CHA. If the Journal, says the Paris Steele,
differ on the question Of the reception Of the
answer OF Russia, they agree as to the tenn
per it will manifest, and this will be contrary
to the report that regard for Austria has
dictated the evacuation by the Russian troops
OF the Principalitios. There is another point
upon which the German papers agree that
Russia keeps up an active propagandism in
the Slavic Provinces Of AUSTRIA propa-
eandism which they have found necessary to
watch II fillmore AmericaR.

chilly important in q case or majority Of
Two Or three votes only, a.l3 therefore show
ing the importance Of enforcing the law, 50
as to avoid, We repeat, an uncertain investi-
CATION as TO The number Of those thus pre-
vented, and to settle the principle.
Third. The second and third lists Of votes
objected to by Mr. Newcomer, were not al
npon the ground that the voters named in
them were not aataralized, nor did all such
produce their naturalization papers, nor
could they do 50.
Fourth MIR. Newcomer was engaged not
only on Friday but on Saturday before the
last Court in taking dispositions, lin which
time the amount Of bis testimony about equal
led that taken on the other side. He could
not properly proceed to take Dispositions I'M
I'll SIr. Cushwa had finished, and then the
harvest season came on, and almost cfcctu-
ally put stop to action in that respect.
Fifth-The counsel Of DR.. Newcomer did
not at the last Court move to set aside the
election on the ground Of the closing Of the
polls before sansct-brt distinctly and most
emphatieally announced their readiness, ind
wish to go int investigation Of the illo-
gal yotes-ex ,iessing their entire confidence
in its successful result.
Sixth.-Tbc Dispositions taken before
Court did not show that Mr. Newcomer had
nothing to gam by scrutiny of the polls
We learn uron careful enquiry that not one
twentieth arE'of the testimony. with which
Dir. Newcomer was prepared to re5ut that
taken by Nh. Cushwa, had yet been brought
forward. That testimony his counsel did not
loubt wonld override in large number of
Eases, that taken by Mr.. Cushwa-wkile
here were number of Illegal votes which
'lr. Cushwa could not, and did not attempt
o establish.
Lastly.-And to finish this exposition, all
the other officers who were elected at the
same time, and have qualified are as secure
" established in their Offices, as any individ-
uals can be, because the law does not contem-
plate, nor does it provide, that any one can
contest their elections, except in certain
way and within limited time, which has
7elapsed. On the contrary it enacts this
sc shall not be done after the lapse of that
time-teq days from the election. The OBJ
jet of the intimation in the Republican as to
the " dubious situation Of those officers
an object by no means laudable-is well UNI
derstood, and was promptly exposed and ST.
fenced during the discussions in court. One
trust that the question in
volyed in the pending election will receive
all the consideration its great Importance de-
mands, 1T the question whether Berkeley shall
constitute one of the very few Counties in the
State, that undertake to make these County
offices the game for caucus and juggling poll
iticians to play at 1t rises in its dignity
above party-and so we believe our people
will declare at the polls on the Ord of Au-
gust

AN ACCESSION 40 TmE KNOW NoTHiNGs

The Albany Atlas states that the last num-
Der of Brownson's Quarterly Review, Ia
Catholic work. announces the adhesion Of
that eccentric philosopher TO the new politi-
cal sect, the Known othings. He STIMULATES
for ono restriction of the creed, that while it
need abate none of its hostility to foreigners,
it will cease its prescription Of native born
Catholics. He reminds them that the ma
tive born Catholics are as hostile to foreign
ers as any others, and that the first Ameri-
can sheet published in this country was star
ted by Catholic writer.

TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EX
ECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF TIE WEST
ERN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY.

The Executive Committee present their twelfth
annual report, with cheerful nope. Hope inspired
by past success, by the righteous object we seek,
and by a firm reliance on the omnipotence Of
truth-the means we employ.
The Society has already been made acquainted
with the operations of the committee, from week
to week through It's paper. The present report
will therefore be brief.
The circulation Of the Anti-Slavery Buglc, has
somewhat increased the past year. We still need
about three hundred Subscribers to make the an
nual proceeds of the paper meet the expenses Of
its publication. Such however has been the sue
cess in collecting from delinquent subscribers, that
the actual receipts on the account Of the paper the
past year, have somewhat exceeded the expenses.

Expenses Of publication, 20SG,5 80
AZ the last annual meeting, the society adopted
with n%naninity a resolution recommending the
Executive fommittcr to require in all cases, pre-.
payment IN accordance with this resolution tho
