The following resolution was passed ia the As.
semby yesterday by the crafty ing vote oflOs to

Congress De Instructed and Representatives requested
T. their best efforts insert Into any ACT
estabihrg auy OF 4 such provisional or territorial Sow
einmelt governments, Z fundamental article OF pro-
vision which shall provide, declare and guaranty that
slavery or involuntary servuie, except a. punishment
for crime whereof the party shall hAyeDeen s duly con-
yiced shall be prohibited therein, long as tie same
shall remain 4 Territory.
This resolution was appropriately introduced by
Mr. MYERS Of ~. Lawrence. personal and polit
ical friend Of the lamentei WRIGHT. IL was sup
ported by the mover in n few brief, but appropu
ate remarks and not voice Vas raised against
Il 10 debate. The four Who opposed It had not the
moral courage 20 DO more than cast a silent vote
against tue principle which it embodied. IL was
gratifying aud triumphant expression OF the sentl-
ment Of the State Notwithstanding the attempt
Of the Argns u badger its political associates into
hostility t. the resolution, only four men could be
induced 20 follow its lead while one hundred and
eight of the Peoples Representatives deliberately
recorded their votes 10 favor Of Fr,e La5oT upon
Free Sol
pon this great question New York occupies
sublime position. Twice has her potent voice been
heard each time with equal emphasis, aud always
right H. - Senator CAss alleges, there has been
change IN public sentiment in regard TO the intro
ductiOn Of Slavery upon Free soil. that change has
the public pulse beats true 10 Humanity. Neither
official favor nor NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the sophs
tries OF Presidential 1spiranis nor the threats OF
less reaching demsgogues--have been suii-ie1t %
swerve the mass Of tde democracy They main
tain the position dictated by justice aud the spirit
OF our Institutions. ii any cODs ieEsbie portion Oi
that party have the desire they nave net the moral
courage 70 stand mp the advocates oil the propo-
sitou 10 establish Slavery upon territory now free.
That infamous distinction is left 70 the few who are
willing to sacrifice the Constitution Itself to pro
mote their OW purposes
The struggle my be pro,ractei aud severe but
we cannot doubt the issue. Slavery must succumb.
Il would be libel upon the spirit OF the age 10
doubt the ultimate and complete triumph OF the
principle embodied Ia the resolution 50 emphatical-
Is endorsed by the Representatives Of the People.
