How TO Cock Po-AroEs.-Potatoes at
this season are very poor eating unless
rightly cooked, and not one IN hundred
knows how 10 do that. Treated as in The
fall and winter they come upon the table
watery, solid, and every way disgaree.ble.
A Vermont woman. who has surprised u, ne
by making old potatoes as good - new,
dry, mealy and fresh. has disclosed 70 10
the process she puts them through 70 effect
40 desirable a result. The potatoes are
four 10 six hours, then dropped into water
which is already boiling-an essential
point: and little salt added to the water
improves them. Take them from the hire
the fire the moment they are done; pour on
all The water and let them stand uncovered
in the kettle over the fire till the water
eyaporates from the surface, and they are
ready for the table. The result will aston
ish those who try il for the first time and
they will never return to the old method o.
boiling them with the ski ms on.-Sprinadeid

Political Prospects.

TuE course OF events confirms our pre-
yious view OF the single issue that must
come before the people ofthe United states
in the next presidential election. HE re-
turn OF Hon. John z. Hale to the U. :. SEM
ate from New Hampshire, and The e'eetion
OF Mr.. Bell for the term OF six years, is
sicnal rebuke Of the Nebraska Bill, and OF
the perfidy ofihe Administration. The split
in the Know Nothing Convention at Phii-
adeiphia Is to the same purpose. II shows
thai the question OF slavery or anti-s.avery
is the paramount issue, both at the North
md the South. The Philadelphia Gonven-
ton is as.triklng comment upon inc structure
Of national parues. The Councils tha' had
won no battle, that were destined, "a IN
Virgins, to anignominons defeat, demahded
that the Councils fresh from victory IN
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-Hamp-
shire, and other States, should adopt dog
ma on v hith even the South can gain no
victory, and through which defeat at sthe
North is certain. Thus in every national
Convention, the South insists in saddhng
upon the whole party its own sectional m
sti,ution. We honor those Know Nothings
from the North and Yves, who reused TO
submit 10 classification Of the sisye o!igarehy
The charm is broken; the issue IS made;
the South can no longer rule.
As the South shows but one issue, so the
North should know but one; and that is to
divorce the federal 9orernmsnt entirely and
forersr from the int rests Of siarery. This
done the country will have peace. On this
platform let all good and true men at the
North unite.
The other points of the northern Know
Noihngs are local and sectional, and should
not cucumber q national platform. The
question OF naturalization is question fer
the States TO determine. Whatever
laws Congress may pass, each State viii
frame its own; and he who canyote for
can vote for President.
The question OF the Bible in schools ia
also State question, and ought not to be
mixed with national politics In short
there is but one issue Of the no,bern section
OF the Know Nothings which is national,
and tina, is slavery. why not, then,
merge all parties and interests in one great
struggle for ireedomt
