ding at the South, The difficulties growing out
Of the abolition question are increasing with
alarming rapidly, and spprehend the time will
come when thatquestion is TO dissolve this Union,
Already we see the solemn comptct between the
States disregarded, and the rights Of those in
slave ding portions Of the Union trampled
under foot | wish the subject of dvertng our
trade TO be considered by the Committee Of Ways
and Means, and that that committee shall report
bill TO increase the ad valorem tax upon ell
goods brought from beyond the Mountains, and
especially upon all the products Of New York,
until this difficulty is settled. 1t seems to me,
sir that it would greatly promote the interests Of
our people if our merchants instead OF trading
at the East, would make their imporiations from
New Orleans. or some Southern port; as it is,
farmers, and all others dealing with merchants,
are required to pay their accounts once year
in specie or in Eastern funds for nothing else
will be overwhelmingly our country is drained
Of its circulating medium. But were ths trads
diverted to the South, the farmers could find
market for their produce at their door. Mer-
chants would readily exchange with them for
such articles Of produce as would suit the South
ern market, and the people would be greatly
relieved from many enlbarrassments under which
they now labor, while the trade South would not
operate to the rejudce of the merchants.
These conditions have Influenced me to offer
these resolutions, and now move that 500 copies
be printed.
That number was ordered 10 be printed.
The resolutions are in the following words
RESOLVED, by the House OF Representatives ,hs
Senate concurring therein.
list. That the Legislature Of the State Of New
York having passed act whereby master
whose slave has escaped into that State is requi-
red under heavy penalties to lose his slave or es-
tabsh his claim thereto by the verdict Of jury,
has shown an utter disregard 10 The Constitution
Of the United States, the act Of Congress Of Feb
ruary 18th, 1893, made in pursuance thereof,
the rights of the slave holding States, and Of
that friendship and good understanding which
hsve heretofore existed between the States OF this

2nd. ResOlUed That requiring master who
claims his runaway slave to establish that claim
by the verdict Of jury that might, and frequent.
/ " would be aboltonsls, who are known wholly
to'disregard the rights OF master TO his slave, as
guaranteed by the Constitution OF the United
States is mockary OF the rights of the slave
holders, and an insult to the slave holding States
Of this Union, and as such should be regarded
| by all.
Sd. ReSolred, That the refusal OF the Govern.
or Of New York to deliver those lugitves from
justice who escaped from Virginia, charged with
felony in stealing slaves in that State, is viola
ton OF the Constitution of the United States, and
the act of Congress aforesaid, and, regarding
the declared principles upon which he acts, nu
rous TO the rights Of all the slave holding States
Of this Union, and as such should Re regarded

4lh, ReSolred That the reason given by tho
Governor of New York for his said violation of
the Constitution, and act Of Congress, are frivs-
Gus and wholly unworthy Statesman.
| 9Th, ReSoIced That this State feels equally
concerned with the other slave-holdng States Of
this Union in the aforesaid conduct of the said
Legislature and Governor Of New York in tho
dangerous and alarming doctrines and principles
avowed by them, and will make common cause
with the said slave-hodng States until redress is
Afforded.
9th, RcsolreI, That in granting licenses to
sell goods, wares and merchandise. in this State,
it is cxpedient until said redress shall be afforded
to make discrimination un(avorable to goods,
wares and merchandise manufactured in New
York, or imported into that State, and brought
from that State to this, provided said discrnlina.
ton docs not apply to goods, wares and merchan-
