cos to the contrary, Notwithstanding

A Fact for Southern Van Buren, u1en.-The
following preamble and resolution Of the Lee
gislature Of the State Of New-York we think
will satisfy any reasonable man of Mr.. Van Blu
ren's views relative to the institution of slave
nv. He is said-to be Northern man with
Southern principles = but let it be remember
ed that he advocated and voted for this resolu
ton, which was intended to prevent the admis
sion of Missouri into the Union unless she con
scented to manumit her slaves, thus exhibitin!
his love for the South. He never had and ha
not now, one feeling in common with the South
that is not affected, and all his boasted love 70
our institutions is merely to cheat the peopl
out of their votes. Read this:
Preamble and Resolutions. Whereas, tn
nhibiting the further extension of slavery i
these United States, is a subject of deep con
Germ to the people of this State; and whereas
we consider.slavery as an evil much to be dc
plored, and that every constitutional barrie
should be interposed to prevent its further ex
tension: and that the Constitution of the I'm
| ted States, clearly giving Congress the right
require of new States not comprised within tn
| original boundaries of the United tates, til
prohibition of slavery, as condition of the
| admission into the Union Therefore,
/ EaDoc,J,oI rs fho. hoporall.. Cor, 40,

our Representatives in Congress be requests
to oppose the admission as State, into ii
Union, of any territory not comprised as afor,
said, making the prohibition of slavery there
an indispensable condition of admission.

Northern men ,cih Southern princtples.--Th
Wing Legislature of Connecticut have repud
ated the doctrine of abolition, as may be see
from resolutions reported in the General Al
sembly. The resolutions are as follows -
ResoIred, That it is inexpedient {
change the Constitution and laws of th
State, SO far as they recognise distinctio
in political rights among persons on &C
count of color.
1 Resofred, That, in the opinion of thi
Assembly. the immediate abolition of slave
nv in the District of Columbia, against til
wishes of the inhabitants, and whilst slave
ry exists in the States of Virginia and Ma
| ryand, would be inexpcdient and UNJUST
fable.
ReSolued, That an Immediate prohibi
ton, by Congress, of the slave-trade be
tween the States, is inexpedient, unconsti
tutional, and dangerous.
| ReSolped, That the conditions upor
which new States are entitled to admission
into the Union are prescribed in the Con
stitution; and that ii would be unwise ant
uniustifable TO agtate the question wheth
er the recognition of slavery by any new
State, falling within the principles of the
compromise adopted on the admission o.
Missouri, would be valid objection to it:
admission into the Union.
