the National Council has deemed il the best
guarantee of common justice and future

aud conclusive settlement of that subject, in
spirit aud in substance.
And regarding il the highest duty TO avow

i, is the senSs Of the National Council that
Congress ought not to !egisla,e upon the
subject of slavery within The Territory of the
United States, and that any interference by
Congress with slavery, as it exists in the
District of Columbia, would be violation
of the spirit and intention OF the cOmpact
by which the State of Maryland coded tho
District to the United States, and a breach
of the national faith.
XIlI.-The policy Of the Government Of
the United States, IN its re lations with For.

the internal concerns Of nations with whom
we are al peace.
XlV.-This National Council declares that
all the principles of the Order shall be hence

that each member shall be at the liberty TO
make known the existence of the Order, and
the fact that he himself is a member; and it
recommends that there he no conceament of

~ EDITION or DIR. DOWLING'S HISTORY
OF ROMANISM.-This popular and valuable
work, which is Protestant, but not otherwise un-
sectarIan, has been pronounced by all Protestant
denominations the Standard History on the sub
jcct of which it treats.
The Publisher has the pleasure to announce
that DR.. Bowling has prepared n valuable and ex-
tensiyc supplement of about 100 pages, inciud-
ing all the recent events Of interest in relation
tn Pope Plus TX, the struggle for liberty in Rome,
the Madai, Gavazzi, &c. &c and that the en-
larged work (making a noble volume Of Sl5 pa
ges) is now ready, and will be supplied without
any advance of price upon the old editions.
Hundreds OF testimonials from distinguished
c'ergymen, scholars, presidents of colleges land
others, have been received, tostifying to the fl
deity and value of this History. A single one
OF these, from the pen Of that eminent Protestant
scholar, the Rev. George Is. ChGevcr, ID. D., is
given as a specimen OF the whole:
DR.. Cheever says,-'' This excellent and beau
ti!u work possesses many and very strong claims
for popular favor, and we do not doubt that it
Is destined to have an extraordinary sale. 1t is
one OF the most elegantly ombeished and exc
cnted works we have ever seen issued from the
American press; containing n large number of
highly finisued engravihgs, Illustrative of the
ceremonies, suporstitioRs, prosecutions and in
cidents of Romanism, which often tell most
eloquent tale, and are Of real utility as well as
highly ornamental. The work itself is charac-
terized by great research, and comprehensive
and scriPtural view Of the nature and history of
the POpish system. Ii presents a succinct, but
sufficiently full history of the rise, progress, err
rors, crucltics, and present condition Of the Pa
pacy, authenticated by reference to the most
nndoubtcd historic sources, related in a spirited
engaging and Impressive style, and arranged in
the most lucid manner. II abOunds in facts and
incidents, and, with its beautiful illustrations, is
better adapted to furnish a vivid and impressive
ROmnuigm IA
book we know of. 1T supplies great lack in
our theological literature; and now that a con-
fict with Rome is forced upon us, and is soon
to become the business of all, clergy and laty,
a work so richly stored with facts and arguments
will be most timely and useful We should be
glad to see IT in every family, and adjoining CIV
cry centre-table in the land.'
