The CENTRAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB-REsoLUTIONs
APPROVING THE COURSE THE ADMINIsTRATIoN.-A
meeting of the Central Democratic Club was held at
No. 1853 Bowery last night to take some action in IA
vor OF sustaining the administration. The chairman,
C. H. Bracket, ESQ., called the attention of the Club
to the events of the last few days. and urged that it
was the duty of every democrat to stand by the ad
mnistration in the struggle in which they were now
engaged. Having suggested that committee be ap
pointed to draw up appropriate resolutions, which
was done.
The COMMITTEE after retiring, reported through
their chairman Mr.. j. B. Aud, the following resolu-
tons
WHEREAS, The Territory of Kansas is now asking
for admission into the Union, and the constitution
framed by convention called by the recognized and
legal authorities of that Territory before Con-
gress, together with the message of the President
the subject recommending such admission-there-
fore be it
Resolced, That we, the members ofthe Democrat
ic Central Club of the City Of New York, heartily
pledge support to the principles clearly put
forth by the President in his message on the imme-
date admission of Kansas. and regard it as another
proof of the integrity wisdom and patriotism of our
beloved and venerable Chief Magistrate.
Resolced, That We regard any attempt to hinder
or defer the admission of Kansas into the Union as
infringement of the principle of the Kansas Ne
braska act palpable violation of the doctrine Sc
curing to the people of the Territories the right of
forming their constitutions laid down in the DEM
ocratic National Convention at Cincinnati, and a
weak and criminal abetting of that faction, which,
in and out Of Kansas have both by open opposition
and secret fraud sought to defeat the laws and the
legally constituted authorities in that Territory.
Resolced, That We pity those weak and credulous
democratic brethren who have suffered themselves
to be deceived by the cry of fraud from the mouths
of the factions opponents of the law in Kansas who
dealt SO abundantly little more than year ago in
Shapes rifles. - IT,.
Rssolued, That we have no sympathy for MAORI.
ties that abstain from voting, and that if there be-,
as alleged, so many opponents of the present cons
tuition in Kansas they deserve to live under it for
their cupable neglect in abstaining to take advan-
tage Of the elective franchise to which they were
urged so strongly by the President, the sure and
safe remedy against every invasion of their rights.
ResolOed, That in this national crisis it has become
the duty Of every democrat to sustain the admins
traton to uphold the laws to put down instruction
and to frown into contempt those representatives
who, belying their professions and ignoring their
political duty have gone into the ranks of the black
republican party. 1s
These resolutions were discussed by Messrs Brown,
Hickock Reilly and others, and finally passed, after
which the club ajourned.-NeD York Nena

A RARE Cory OF THE SCRlPTUREs.-An esteemed
correspondent thus describes recent discovery Of
a rare and valuable edition of the Bible:
"TnE Book OF BooKs-When that good man, Sir
Walter Scott was on his death bed, and during the
few hours of reason vouchsafed to him before he ex
pired, as his son-n-law was sitting beside him, he
said to him: Read me something, john What
book shall read Sir WalterP' Need you ask
there is but one, replied the pious Christian Mr..
Lockhart Immediately took up the Bible. and read
the 18th chapter of St. Johns Gospel. A copy of
this best of Books has just been shown to us, and
it is such have never before seen, and we will
venture to say, few or none of readers either.
This precious relic is nearly four hundred years old,
having been printed at Venice in the year 147S, by
that fine fellow, DR.. Dbden calls him, Francis.
Gus Habrun Yet. notwithstanding the four centu.
ries it has been in existence the volume is as clean
and perfect as if it had come from the press last
week the paper is stronger than that Of almost any
modern book, as white lilly, and what is vast
desideratum with dictionaries, the margins
usually broad fully two inches all round; its only
bemish, and that would be deemed beauty by many,
is three minute worm holes piercing the first five
leaves close to the bottom of the Margin
/" The book is small quarto, printed in double
columns, and in clear Gothic type. Perhaps one
reason why it is in such perfect preservation may
be attributed to its having been originally bound With
beech-boards secured by brass clasps, which, how
ever, were much worn; it is now in rich Turkey
morocco, the inside lining being of satin and enclos-
ed in cedar case lined with purple velvet, whose
outward appearance is that of a volume bearing the
same title the treasure il contains. viz: Bibla Sa.
