These resolutions, adopted by the. Society
unanimously, were utterly disregarded by the
Publishing Committee, who continued toeschew
carefully every expression of AntiSlavery sem
timent. 1t will be seen, elsewhere in these col
umns, that the Society have entirely receded
from the spirit of these resolutions, by refusing
to instruct the Publishing Committee to circu-
late any tract condemning the African slave
trade. The pretence formerly set up, that the
Society RETAINED from Anti-Slavery publica-
tions, because the subject belongs to the depart
ment of politics, is no longer tenable after
abandoning the above resolutions. 1t was never
urged with sincerity, as is apparent from the
fact that the Society has not scrupled to urge
political action against intemperance. In a
tract upon temperance, they said:
Let all who regard the virtue, the honor,
and the patriotism of the country, withhold
their suffrages from those candidates who offer
ardent spirits as bride to secure their eleva-
ton to Office"
The dishonesty of the Publishing Committee
of garbling. In "Gurneys Essay on the Ha-
bitual Exercise of Love to God, the following
passage occurs:
Z" If this love had always prevailed among
protesting Christians, where would have been
the African slave trade where the odious
system which permits to man property in his
fellow mani" &c.
This the American Tract Society garbled,
mutilated, and published in this shape:
" If this love had always prevailed among
protesting Christians, aohere tsOuld haze been
the tOrtTeS Of inquiSitiOn-where every system
of oppression and wrong, by which he who has
the power revels in luxury and ease, at the ex
pense of his fellow-men ?"
Unless the Tract Society be reformed in its
management, it is easy to foresee that its base
trucking to Slavery will at length destroy its
hold upon the public heart, and that it will lose
the means of doing evil, as it has now lost the
power of doing good. 1t is in danger of de-
generating into convenient machine for levy
ing contributions upon the public, to be spent
in such a way as to secure the salaries of its
corps of officials

STILL LATER NEWS FROM EUROPE.

We give in our news columns Geographic
summary of the European news, which was
brought by the Weser. The reported battle
between the Austrian and Sandman forces
turns out to be untrue. The Austrians were
permitted to cross the Ticino, without obstruc-
ton. This fact, however, is unimportant in
itself, as Austria has declared war against Sar-
DINA, and France against Austria. The Arago
arrived at St. Johns N. F., Monday, with dates
from Liverpool of the 4th instant, and the Nova
Scotia at Quebec with the same dates. By
these arrivals we gather the above conclusive
evidence of the commencement of war. Ma
poleon III, in his war manifesto, addressed to
the Corps Legislatif says:
Her national allies have always been those
Fho desire the amelioration of the human race,
and when she draws the sword, it is not. to gov-
er7a, but TO free.
The object, then, of this war; is to restore
Italy to herself, not to impose upon her a change
of masters and we shall then have upon our
frontiers friendly people, who will owe to us
their independence.
We do not enter Italy to foment disorder,
or disturb the peace of our Holy Father, whom
we replaced upon his throne, but to remove
from him this foreign pressure, which burdens
the whole peninsula. To help to establish Nor
der there, based upon lawful and satisfied in
terests.
We enter this classic ground, rendered IL
instrious by so many victories, to seek the foot
steps of our fathers. God grant we may be
worthy of them!"

DEMOCRATIC sTANDARD-BEARERs.

The official organ of Mr.. Buchanan pays a
high tribute to the Democratic standard-bear-
ers," but omits to designate single individual
TO whom it is applicable. 1t seems to be gen.
eral puff Of ali who choose to regard themselves
as democratic standard-bearers, but is too
vague to be very hattering except to very vain
and self-appropriating men. We confess that
we are utterly at loss to understand to what
class of standard-bearers" the Constitution
refers. 1t cannot be that the official organ is
so catholic in spirit as to include Mr.. Douglas
in its category of patriot heroes yet Mr.. Doug
las is the especial favorite of the Northern De-
mocracy Take away the Northern sympathi-
zers with Mr.. Douglas and his popular sover-
eighty" dogmas, and there will not be left 6
corporals guard of the party. 1t cannot intend
10 include Gov. Wise, who denounces the ad-
ADMINISTRATION of Mr.. Buchanan as corrupt in
practice and federal in principle. Itcannot mean
the Democratic" candidate for Governor in
Kentucky, who maintains the popular sover-
eighty" heresy of Mr.. Douglas.
Who, then, can the Constitution refer to :?
To the slave traders of the Gulf States, or to
the opponents Of that traffic? To the friends
or TO the opponents of popular sovereignty?
To the friends of intervention for Slavery in the
Territories, or to the friends of nonintervention
by Congress and the State Legislatures, or the
believers in unfriendly legislation? If the Off
cial organ discards all except those whe sup
port the Administration to which it owes its
existence, its compliments are more definite
than might be inferred from the general terms
used; and if it includes all who claim to be
Democrats" the greater part of its eulogy
will fall to the share of the bitter opponents of
the President.

RALTRY DEMAGoGUEIsM.-The Virginia poll
ticiaus of both parties are rapidly falling into
the lowest Ta of Southern demagogueism.
Letcher, for the sake of success, has utterly
abandoned his emancipation principles of few
wears ago; and Goggin, who commenced the
campaign with show of decency and selfre-
spect, is now out-Heroding the Herods of Black
Democracy in his coarse vili6cation of Repub-
Icans. In his recent speech at Alexandra, a
sketch of which we find in the Star of Monday,
he says:
Attacking In servere terms Mr.. Letcher's
political course as TO his sympathizing with the
Abolitionists, &c, said if these things were not

ington. the vilest Abolition sheet that disgraces
Southern soil, had said that it would rejoice
over Mr. LIS election" Applause
1t is untrue that the National Era said " it
would rejoice" over Mr., Letcher's election.
What we said was, in substance, that we should
have no reason to regret his election. We COM
mend the above extract to the attention of that
class of Republicans who look for the co-opera-
tion of Mr.. Goggin and his friends in the elec-
fion of President.

TRACT SOCIETY TWO YEARS AGO

1hACI OOClEI1 TWO YEARS AGO.
At the Anniversary of the American Tract
Society, held in New York on the 18th Nav,
1857, a report was made by an investigating
committee appointed a year previously, upon
the Slavery question, in its relations with the
Tract Society. The committee reported the
following resolutions, aohich acere passed unoni
mouslg:
I" l. ReSOIUed, That the American Tract So
ciety was established for definite purpose.
namely: To diffuse a knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ as the Saviour of sinners, and to
promote the interests of vital godliness and
sound morality, by the circulation of religious
tracts, calculated to receive the appreciation of
all evangelical Christians
2. ResOtUed, That this Society cannot there
fore, with propriety, allow itself to be made a
special organ of any one system of religions or
moral reform, such as Temperance. Peace. An
ti-Popery, Anti-Slavery, &C.; while, within its
proper sphere, its influence should sustain the
cause of truth and righteousness in all their
departments.
" g. ReSoLred, That in endeavoring to &C.
complish its high and holy mission, the Society
should deal even-handedly, and bear impartial
testimony against all forms of Fundamental doc.
trinal error and practical immortality, prevail.
ing in any and every part of our country.
"A. Ressloed, That, in the judgment of your
committee, the political aspects of Slavery lie
entirely without the proper sphere of this So
clety, and cannot be discussed in its publica.
tons but that those moral duties which grow
out Of the existence of Slavery, as we'll as those
moral evils and vices which it is known to pro-
mote, and which are condemned in the Scrip-
lures, and so much deplored by evangelical
Christians, undoubtedly do fall within the prov.
ince of this Society, and can and ought to be
discussed in a fraternal and Christian spirit.
.. hesotred, That whatever considerations
in the past may have seemed to recommend 10
the Publishing Committee the course pursued
IN its revision of certain works, yet in the flu
turel publication of books and tracts, no altera-
ton or omission of the sentiments of any au-
| thor shall be made; but works not adapted to
the design of the Society in their original form,

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

The American Medical Association held its
annual meeting this year at Louisville, Ken
lucky, on the first Tuesday of May. There were
more than three hundred delegates present.
from nearly every State in the Union, and the
meeting seems to have been in every respect
harmonious and successful. The annual ad

DR.. Lindsly, of Washington, of which the Louis

One paper says:
"The address of the President was listened
to with marked attention. 1t was an able. alo-
quent, and graceful tribute to the merits of the
profession, with an instructive and interesting
account of professional improvement and dis,
coveries of the last fifty years."

The delegates were entertained by the med

men, not only from the city, but every part O
the State of Kentucky.

Is a western village some days since brass
band from neighbOring town were engaged to
attend lecture and enliven it with music. They
were to play ats meeting house and at the time
appointed the band marched up and proceeded
to the gallery. Finding a few gentlemen and
ladies' occupying The seats below, they immedi-
ately struck up Yankee Doodle, very excellent
tune, and excellently played, but singuIarly in
appropriate to the occasion. They had broken
in suddenly on the solemniIies of Bal tist
prayer meetingl The few persons below tunnel
around and viewed the intruders with staring
eyes and gaping mouths, which the band very
innocenuy took for an expression Of admiration,
and they at once struck up the American Quick
Step.
