I" Slavery Rules Everything =
An AsrcDorr OF JOHN DAVIS.


Rev. 7. w. Hissinson, in his speech Of
the late Anti-Slavery Convention IN TINS
city, related the following incident: Z.
odd you ever hear what were the last
words OF our Senator in Congress, that
nobleman JOHN DAvB-ior ! call him a
nobleman, because, in his instincts, he vas
always true 10 freedom. His first impulses
were always for freedom. When, bound
down and corrupted BY the atmosphere o!
slavery, II he was LEFT free Tor one momen'
to forget policy, the noble impulses OF ms
nature came up, and he was man again.
Did you ever hear what his last words a'
Washington were' Il is conversation
which Charles Sumner told me, and when
| should not dare repeat If Charles sumner
had ever told il in public himself: but !
believe he has not. II was the last might
Of Mr.. Davis's Congressional career. Inc
clock was approaching tho hour OF twelye'
and the old man sat quietly in his seat
waiting for the end Of his long public ile.
Senators who had known him for SO many
years srood by, watching him, to see II they
could mark any change in his quiet iace.
They saw none. The clock struck twel'e
at last, and the old man arose from his seat
with the last stroke, and took his place out.
side the railing, no more Senator, but .
humble, private man. His successor hau
not been appointed; there was no reason
why he should resign his seat; his friends
urged him to retain 1t, simply from courte-
sy, If nothing more but he laid, mo ! my
public lifo is ended and went home TO his
hotel.
Mr.. Sumner followed him, wishing TO
f..~.~..s his Compliments -..a -:.r.... an the
conclusion OF his long term Of service. As
he entered the door Of Mr.. Davis's parlor,
he found the old man sitting with his elbows
on tho table, and his face buried in his hsnds,
absorbed in thought. Said Mr.. Davis,
{ Would you like to hear what are tho
thoughts passing through my mind at the
end Of this my long experience" Yes,
certainly" was the reply; I" the thoughts
Of such man, at such q time. must be
deeply interesting" "Well, sir" said the
veteran, drawing himself up, "this is the
consummation OF the whole: Here in our
National Government, Slavery rules every
thing. Mr.. Sumner; Slavery rules every.
thingm tHear, 'hear.O Yes, Charles
Sumner did hear, and made other people
hear, to some purpose. (Cheers.) Mr.
Davis, Of whom we had oil complained,
whose course'we had all regarded as not
being sufficiently true to freedom on great
emergencies, at last came 10 the simple con-
clusion that Mr.. Garrison had been IN out
cast for twenty years for uttering the impor.
tant truth, that Slavery rules cuerything""

How TO Cook PorAToEs. Potatoes a,

knows how 10 do that. Treated rs in the
fall and winter, they como upon the table
walery, solid and every way disagreable.
A Vernon, woman, who has surprised Us
by making old potatoes as good as new,
dry, mealy and fresh, has disclosed 10 us
the process she puts them through 10 effec,
so desirable result. The potatoes are pa.
red and put 10 soak in cold water from four
TO six hours then dropped into the water
which is already boiling-an essential point
and little salt added 10 the water i'm
proves them. Take them from the fire the
moment they are done; pour off all the wa.
ter and le, them stand uncovered in the ket
lie over the fire till the warer evaoorates
from the surface, and they are ready for
the table. The result will astonish those
who try il for the first time, and they will
never return to the old method OF boiling
them with the skins on.

FROM EUROPE.

HALIFAX, July 5.-The steamship A.
merica arrived at this port yesterday amer
noon, and will be due at Boston al an early
hour Friday morning. The America brings
dates from Liverpool TO the ed Of June,
three days later then received by the Her
man.
The news is seanty, bu, in the hishes,
degree important.
The Allies had me, with check before
Sevastopol. On the 18th OF June the
French and English respectively attacked
the Malakof and Redan lower but were both
repulsed with grea, slaughter.
The details could not be looked for before
the end Of June, and in the mean time p;i.
vaie advices Of the most serious description
were agi,aiing the public. According 10
one account, the British loss alone was not
short Of 1000, including among the killed
Gen. Campbell, and upwards Of 20 other OF,
fcers. Contradictory :umors prevailed,
and il was thought the above was somewhat
exaggerated.
In the British Parliament Mr.. Roebuck
had moved vote oil censure upon the min
istry.
A new French loan was to be immediate
ly negotiated.
The official dispatches are Of the following
purport: The English troops attacked The
Redan and the French the Malakof towers
nj daylight; but were repulsed with grea,
loss. Pelissier's despatch says tha, although
the troops had showed the greatest ardor and
had gained footing in the Malakoff tower,
he was obliged 10 order their ie,iremen, into
the Parallel, which was effected with ordei
and without moles,aiion by the enemy.
Private accounts represent the slaughter on
all sides as immense. Grea, losses accrued
from the springing OF mines by the Russians.
During the confusion OF attack the Rus.
SLAMS are said 10 have recap,urcd Mamelon,
which had previously been wresied from
them by tho French.
An expedition has been undertaken by
the allies against Perekop.
Gortschakofof confirms the success Of the
allies in the sea Of Azof. bu, says ,ha, was
anticipated and non-resisiance was the Rus
sian policy. He also saysl ,ha, the army
supplies are not materially affected.
Preparations were making for boat ex-
petition up the river Don.
In Asia the Russians had advanced and
encamped near Redoub, Kale.
They are also stated 10 have reiaken a.
napa, and to have made an unsuccessful al.
tack on Kars.
Admiral Baines. with squadron Of seven
steamers, bad left Kiel, for the Baltic.
The massacre OF the British boats crew
a, Hango, under flag Of truce, caused much
excitement in England.
LATER The Steamship Paei6e, from Liver.
pool, arrived At New YOtk, June II. The disas.
tiers Of the allies a, sebas,Opol are confirmed.

Mr.. EDroR IL have Jus, concluded
the perusal OF an article in the Saco Demo-
Graf, from the pen Of yeriias. and arm a, a
loss TO determine whether coniemp, for the
writer, o, DISCUS, for the publisher, predom-
mates in my mind. Such base tissue OF
alsehood and SANDER is seldom found in
any paper, rs is contained in the communi,
cation in question, and we very much doub,
whether any past numbers Of the Democrat
ieeminc with calunny and abuse as they
do, can vie with this in low blackguMdism,

,emp,ible and cowardly falsi6er, the victory

notice briefly some OF his loose and un,ru,h-
ful statements.
The first portion OF his letter contains no
specific charges against any one in partic-
ular, and is merely senseless trade asains,
matters and things in general, and conse.
quen,ly demands no extended notice. Bu,
when he speaks abou, the remarks which

he was surrounded, j, becomes too ludi-
crous 10 be borne without broad grin and
hearty laugh. You simple fellow, every
body who has the felicity OF being acquaint.
ed with you, know that the "nymphs do
pare with whom you associate, and who
are necessary 10 your very existence, are
utterly incapable of giving an honest express
sion Of their views, having long sincs been
perverted by associaiing with such as you,
while an elegant and chaste expression from
them would be entirely unlocked for, and
create as great sensation as would an essay
on virtue emanaiing from Five Points, New
York. The allusion 10 Capt. Hewes' sober

TO be plain, i, is an absolute ialsehOod, and

facts in tho case are these AT the time

Mr.. Somes was no, on the ground. Mr..
Long was unwell, and was not there
