MR. EDITOR: A few days sin nee, in looking over an old newspaper, fouad the following Resolutions, passed by tho Democratic Lsgis- aturc of this State in 1850;
 Resolped, That Congress has free Constitu- tional power to prohibit Slavery in the Terri tories, and that it is the duty of Congress to pass, without unnecessary delay, such strict and positive lawsas will sffeetually shut out Slavery from every portion of the Territories.
 Resolped, That Congress bas like free and Constitutional power to remove Slavery and the slave trade from the District of Columbia, and that this power should at euce De exor- Fcised-making reasonable compensation to the slave -holders. ef1 ffsla f1
 Resotved, In the namc of fhe people of Con- nccticut, we do hereby solemnly reafirm our unalterable attachment to tho Federal Union .-whiIe with equal, unalterable and inhexible purpose, deterred by no threat of disunion, we shall forever oppose any and every meas ure of Compromise by which any portion of Territory now belonging to it, or which may be hereafter acquired, shall bs gives up ts or left unprotected against the encroaehmeats of Slavery!
 These Resolutions, be it remembered, were voted for by the leading Democrats in that egislature-Thomas H. Seymour was Cover nor at the time, and Isaac Toucey was Ssna- tor. All the Republicans ask of the Demo crats now is to stick to their principles and sustain their resolutions of 1850. c. B. II.

sisters Of Charity
Sister Anthony and the rest of the
Sisters of Charity are recalled to Gin
cinnati fer their future field of labor.
We are exceedingly sorry to learn such
sad news, on account of the poor sick
and wounded soldiers. They have been
for months to those poor suffering crea-
lures, friends, sisters and kind hearted
mothers. They gladdened the heart of
the sufferers by their presence and we
often heard the sick and wounded say /:
"7he Sisters Of ChuIty make as feel
Ike home"
The Sisters are called: "Sisters of Cha
rity"-they deserve that amiable name;
because from morning to night, from
hour TO hour their life is uninterruptedly
devoted to charity; and could all the
soldiers, who were under their care,
answer,-a tornado of voices would call
out Amen, with u.s. tta so
No one will feel the departure of the
Sisters more than the soldiersl Noise
lessly did they 60 through the wards

humbly, like violetes blooming on &
hidden place, the tribute of neighbourly
love, which Christ commended to us by
