THE VOICE OF NEW YORK.

The following are the resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Young. and adopted on Thursday by
the senate Of this state, 90 TO 6. 49,. r.
Resoiced-That as war now exists between
the United States and Mexico, it is the imper.
i've duty Of every citizen o! his country to sus-
tain its government in all proper measures for
the prose cution of hat war, in such a manner
as our national honor and intereets demand, un-
til it shall be terminated by an honorable
peace.
Resolped--That no pesce with Mexico can
be regardad as honorable to the United States.
which shall secure from that Republic full in
,lennity for the aggressions which IL has COM
mitted upon the rights oil this country and IL
citizens
Resoiped--That If any territory is hearatter
acouiredhy the United States, or annexed there
to, the act by which such territory is acquired
nr annexed, whatever such act may be, should
contain an unalterable. fundamental article or
provision whereby slavery or involuntary ser.
vitude, except as punishment for crime, shall
be forever excluded from the territory aequir-
I'd or annexed.
Resoiped-That the Senators in Congress
from this State be instructed, and that the Rep
resentatives be requested, to useiher best Ell
orts to carry into effect the views expressed in
tbs foregoing resolutions,
the Legislature of Penn
sylvania have passed Resolutions which full.
take the ground of Preston Kings speech. in
the early part of the Session. Their reso'n'
lion relating to the acquisition of territory was
as follows:
/" Whereas. The existing war with Mexic'
may result, in the acquisition Of new territory
to the Union, And whereas, Measures are now
pending in Congress, having in view the APP
preparation Of money and The confering au-
therity upon the treaty making power to this
end !: therefore
ResolUed. That our Senators in Congress be
instructed and our Representatives requested
to vote against any measure whatever by which
territory will accrue 10 the Union, uniess as
part OF the Fundamental law, upon which any
compact or treaty for this purpose Is based.
Slavery or involuntary sefvitude, except for
crimes, shall be forever prohibited"
This was adopted in tie Senateby vote OF
"a to 3, and in the House of Representatives
by 81 to nothing. an unanimity very rarely Sc
cured in any legislative body in these days Of
party strife. 1t shows the depth ofthe feeling
which is cherished among the citizens Of the
free Statsss against any acquisition Of strength
TO the slave dominion BY conquest.
