NEW YORK To vIRGINIA.-TuE REGENCY AT
THEIR OLD TRICKS
IL Is well known that the Virginia SO called IA.
noctacy nave demanded OF the New York Reee,-
ey .ontehns an abolition Of the Jury trials ex.
W"u'u w ,h's STATE 10 runaway slaves and also
inc surrender of certain iugves from ius,ice claim
eel 10y virginia TO have been concerned in The al
ducuon ot certain slaves. To satisfy the V,,,;n;,
pcmocfacy," and not To offend the LOCO Foo
People OF New York OF the school OF the Iarges,
liberty, was puzzle 10 the Politicians of Alb.ny
The following was the device therefore hi, u,or -
On Monday, only 81 hours prior 10 the ad,onr,
ment oil the Legislature. Notwithstanding The CO
vernon OF the State long ago particularly called tbe;
attention 10 the fact, that the non. n,ercours. I -
Grafton on the lstoi May, n Committee in The s.
naie introduced bill repeating the jury Trial Law
OF lS1O and also series Of abstract Resolutions
proelaimine' IN substance, that stealing slaves IN
Virginia was felony under the laws of V;rs;ni,
information, of course, Of high inheritance - ,L
va dominion. Action on this bill thus introduced
INTO the Senlte delayed till n late hon. viii
the knowledge OF the fact, that under the Senate
rules, II but one Wing objected, tie bill could moi
be started at all. The Whigs In The Sen,,a -
ever, determined that the New York P,l;t;c;,n.
should show their hand TO Wig MIA and even wen,
so far rs to vote TO send the bill to third reading
50 that there should be no cause for DELAY Tbs
Locofocos thus ioilod forced 10 90 on and the
bill, rs we have already stated passed the Senate
| by small majority.
This much for Virginia and South Carolina
but now something mus, be done for New York.
lhe Bill thCn went to the House. where A. WA.
consigned To the Judiciary committee never ppo;n
To see the light. The abstract resolutions however
passed, communicating TO Virginia certain impor
tant facts, which, no doubt will fully enlighten the
| profound philosophers Of that ancient Common-
wealth, hut the Governor of the State who WINS
not disposed To be concerned in any such humbug
MS tins, has respectfully declined having any agency
IN beloolns the Executive of Virginia; and we are
no'' therefore, aware OF any means that can be
taken 10 instruct Virginia TO what New York
thinks OF her slave property, unless all Virginia

Legislature OF New York.
AS things, then, now stand, the non-intercourse

! lhe wing Governor, Seward, you see too won't
oihcalIy send on the Resolutions, but MIR Young
WI or MIR FIagg, officers of the Cabinet of the
state. You see also, what the Senate did; but I'm

House for II we were really to do what you want,
Van Buren, wouldn't stand any chance of rallying A
party IN this State. You must humbug "Od

The Richmond Wing, Compiler, and o'her
Virginia presses mus: look to this. New York
humhugs, but is never humbugged," IS an oil
proclamation we have made, and re made; and never
would the thing have been better done than in this
case, II but one Wing IN the Senate would only
