some Of his parishioners She was too

to do what they could for his comfort

to leave supply Of food in certain place,

avail himself when starved at hOmc.-
Even light and fire were denied him in

of refuge, from the cruel scourge Of his

in the dark, he used to spend his winter

SIGNIFIcANT.-The Union Administra-
tration Republican Abolition State Con.
VeRtion, which convened at Sacramento
on Tuesday, passed series Of unrneaning
resolHtions, which would be discreditable
60 children or idiots, and then adjourned
The patriotic delegates entirely ignored
principles, and substituted for them full
some ad0latiOn Of the Administration. -
They maguauimously Spd unsel6shly and
Gaeefaiiy resofvedto supportit, it mattered
not what policy it might propose. 1t is
. little significant that they studiously
avoided pledging themselves to " maintain
the Constitution. a In this they were
consistent He'd they pledged themselves
TO support it, it would have been a sting
Ing rebuke to the Administration for its
frequent, gross and causeless violations OIL
It Rather than stultify themselves, they
would ignore the existence of that instru
ment As q sample Of the silly resolu
tons they adopted, we give the following
ResOIOed, That since the Inauguration of th,
present National Administration, all issue,
heretofore dividing the loyal people Of the differ
ent political parties have been settled. and the
only issue now before the nation is Union OF
disunOn.
Is not the above insufferable stuff! I.
Il not a SANDER upon the Democrats o
the North and West, who differ from the
Administration? Is it not questioning
the loyalty Of the Democrats of those sec
tons who are calamity fighting for tn,
Union? Have all political issues beer
settled? Is Democrat disloyal simply
because he opposes RepubIicanism p
GgittsndeD, Garlic, 9as;s aad other loya
UniOnists; Richardson, Pendleton, La
than, McDougall and other loyal Demo
Gratis, say that political issues have no
:" been settled, and what is far better,
> vast majority of the electors of our coun
try say the same thing.
These canting hypocrites think they
can dodge the questions of emancipation
confscation, suspension of the writ o
habeas corpus, abOlishing slavery in thu
District of Columbia, &C., by resolving
that "all political issues have been set
tled;" but they will soon discover thei
mistake. The above are living, vital is
sues that cannot be evaded. They arr
pet measures and acts Of the Administers
tiOn, and the people will hold the Admin
istration responsible for them. Such
loyal Unionists as Crittenden, Carlile anC
Davis are opposed to them-the Demo
cratic party is opposed to thetn-all con
servalive men-all who respect the Con
stitutiOn and desire the restoration of tn,
Union, as our fathers made it, are opposed
/. 10 them. Political issues have not beer
settled, as the demagOgues of the Conven
: tiO0 will find out before the end of the
campaign.
