OLA EE LII The New York Senate, on the
18th inst. " Mr.. Spencer, from the select commit
tee to whom was referred the message Of the gov
'ernor OF the Gath February last, and certain resoIu-
lions oil the states of Indiana, New Jersey, and
Georgia, reported that the message and resolutions
relate to sundry amendments to the Constitution of
the United States, on the subject OF slavery. The
committee are Of opinion that the existing provis.
Ions OF the constitution that subject ought not to
be disturbed, and they think inexpedient for the
legislature of New York to act upon the resolutions
communicated: they therefore asked 10 be dscharg-
ed from the further consideration ihereof--which
report was concurred in by the Senate.''
This disposition Of the subject is wise. Much
difficulty has already been produced by the indis-
Greet zeal OF some politicians IN the non -slave-hod-
ing states Every intelligent slave holder recog
nises IN slavery great national evil. He feels,
that individually, as we'll nationally, he would be
benefited by Its extripation. Still he views with
Jealousy any disposition in the non-slaveholdcr TO
interfere with his constitutional property. Prudence
then requires that that privileged portion of this
community, which holds no slaves, should abstain
HON any measures which jealousy could miscon-
srue trusting to the good sense we'll as the &C.
knowledged interest OF that portion of the country.

General La FAIErTE left Milledgevie about the 29th
u and proceeded into the State OF Alabama, where pre-
paratonswere made for his reception. He expected
to pass through Caawba and to reach Mobile in the first
week of the present month. On comparing the actual
progress of the General with the sketch of his which
published previous to his leaving Washington city,
find that there at present only variation of about 48
hours This may be regarded extraordinary adhe-
renee to his original arrangement, when consider the
many inducements to delay which the General has found
in the ardent affection and pressing hospitality Of the peo-
pie the States through which he has passed.
