Rarely is Death welcome guest in the house
of a friend but when the Wife Of our love, the
Child of our hopes, and the Sister Of our fond
affections, is called from hence by Ills firm man

Tho sufcrings of the deceased, were compara-
lively of short duration; yet few can rightly
Judge of the amount Of agony that may be
crowded into the short span of minutes and
hours.
She was relieved, and her sufferings mitiga-
ted by the generous sympathy and kind atten-
ton of relatives and friends, thus receiving
from Others the kindness she was ever ready to
bostow. Long, very long will her memory be
cherished by those in whose joys and sorrows,
she participated, during her trancicnt sojourn
on Earth; and though the casket that contained
the Spiritual Gem, Is dimned forever still will
the radiance of that Gem illume the pathway of
her little Infant who yet fingers, and is guar

MoRg VINO REsoLUTfoNs.--Th House of
Representatives of the Connecticut Legislature
passed the following resolutions by vote OF
ll3 to 50. We like them for one thing. There
is no equivocation or ambiguity, No dodging
of responsibility and hypocrtical sncaling be-
hind pIofesscd iborality of sentiment like the
Ohio Wing Convention. We think this fever
(hectic) which tho Wing party now has for
passing resolutions, will without doubt termi-
nate in consumption.
Resolved, That tho series denominated
the Compromise measures, adopted by the
last Congress, dsposing finally and peaceful
ly of variety of questions which had pre-
viously disturbed the country, embarrassed
the government and the National Legislature,
and seriously threatened the existence of the
Union, were wisely adapted to the fair adj
justment of the veXed questions at issue, and
constituted a fair and equitable compromise
of the whole subject; and that said series of
measures, MS such compromise, meet the full
appreciation of this Assembly.
Resolved, That the act termed the Fugi-
tive Slave Law is, in the judgment of this
Assembly, in accordance with the provisions
of the Constitution, containing merely pro-
NisioHS lh ueiull necCsSuIy W curry lhlo eHect
the provisions of that instrument; and that
it is the duty Of all good citizens 10 sustain
the execution of said act by lawful and
proper means.
Resolved, That those members of the Ma
tional Administration and of both Houses of
Congress, who, rising above party ties and
personal considerations, united, when they
saw the stability Of the Union in danger, in
proposing and advocating those measures of
Cancellation and compromise which have in
so great a degree restored harmony to the
National Councils, and removed apprehen-
sions of sudden and violent termination of
our National Confederation, are entitled to
the appreciation aud gratitude of this Assem-
bly, aud of the people of this State.

Dean FRIEND: There are few in this Wcs-
tern World who think with us in reference to
the anti-slavory cause. There are many who
call themselves Free Soilers, but not enough to
sustain the True Democrat paper published
at Mount Pleasant, Iowa. This city is pro-
slavery to the core. Most of the citizens emil
grated from Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri; !;
and the interests of most of the merchants are
closely connected with st. Louis. l know of
but few in the State who think proper to scG,,-
daiise themselves by assuming the name of Gar
risonian, and though have never myself be-
longed to any association of that class, l recog-
nize the cause they advocate as the cause of
God, and whatever he claims, We should do.-
Do not for moment think of suspending the

hard ever again to enlist all who read it in
your ranks. Isend my copy regularly to Ore

state OF great confusion, until at last the
President was sustained in calling NJ. Ar
maud TO order, aud hc was obliged to leave
the tribune. A heated debate ensued, Messrs.
DeFlotte, Bcdeau, Charras, DelrOmmont
and Piscalory taking part in it. Nj. Charns,
10 his speech, revealed the fact that in the
day of June Gen. Barnguay D'Ilillers refus-
ed to take command of division even after
three Generals had fallen and there was
need of him. That is to say, be had violut-
ed the principle of passive obedience the
Right were contending for. This produced
new excitement with interruptions and
eXclamations in abundance. Finally, the
Assembly was adjourned, leaving the matter
unfinished.
