sound Doctrine.

The Rochester Union, a Democrat,
paper recently closed an elaborate nrticl,
on the issues Of the war as follows:
But VIC may remark here, and at this
cnrly day, that while we shall advocate
the acknowledgement of the constitution
al tights of the Southern people, We sha
at the same tine, expect that common
consent or due and adequate action on
the part of the Government, will prevent
any addition TO the present number OF
Slave States; and we shall also expect
Slavery TO be abolished in the Federal
District. Thus much is due to Northern
sentiment, not only, but to the common
safety. Slavery has unquestionubly had
an important agency in producing or
present troubles; and is the dictate OF
wisdom and true statesmanship hat il
should be neither provided with moi al
lowed any facilities for increase or extern
tension which do not come clearly within
the limits of State sovereignty snd prop
er State action. The constitutional pow
er 10 abolish Slavery within the District
of Columbia is as clear us language can
make it. And as to the rights of Slavery
in the Territories, under the Constitll-
ton, as cxpeunded in the famous Dred
Scott decision, they really amount to just
nothing.
The Territories must be free. And
the States formed from them must be froe.
Slavery must be restricted to its present
limits. We have the right TO say that il
shtIl be 80, and in our judgment, il is our
J,,f.t q a Stand firm In th,a nnaifion fHh,a
Southern people themselves, If beaten in
this rebellion, even the most rabid seces-
sionists will expect us 70 limit Slavery
to It's present bounds. And we must not
disuppoint such reasonable expectations.
That is sound sensc, and the same
ground occupied by all the Democratic
journals in the land, would do more to
pave the way for peaceful and perma-
nent reunion of the United States than
almost anything else,

ArrIynI Of Prisoners.

A lot numbering 72o rebel prisoners
arrived here on Saturday morning, and
passed throug cur city to Camp Chase
under csc ort Of 6 companies from thai
camp. They were mostly officers, many
OF them men Of intelligence, some having
held honorable positions under the gov
ernment they were endenvoring to dc,
stroy. Their uniforms and clothing were
as varied in color and style as the hues Of
the rainbow-and even more SO. Some
Of our citizens showed a disposition tc
quiz several Of them, but their curt replies
soon "silenced their batteries" One
individual among them was somewhat
rampant, but the guard ordered him 10
another part OF the car, and he cooled
down. The prisoners at the camp now
number somewhere in the neighborlcod
of 1000. g. Journal.
