Ne~ York and Pennsylvania on the Slarer,
Question.


Question.
We are happy to observe, in the proceedings of
the Legislatures of New York and Pennsylvania,
some slight indications of disposition to pause in
the course of aggression upon the feelings and in
terests of the Southern States, which has of late
appeared to be dictated by the undivided sentiment
of the North.
The Senate of New York, recently, adopted
series of resolutions, declaring, in the strongest
language, that Congress should enact the Wilmot
Proyiso and abolition in the District of Columbia.
In the House Of Representatives of that State, the
Senates resolutions were referred to select COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Ford was Chairman On
the 23d inst, majority of this committee reported
set of resolutions, declaring strong attachment to
the Federal Union, and the purpose to abide by its
compromises; asserting New York to be uncom-
promisingly opposed to the extension of slavery
into territories where it does not exist but instruct
ing her Senators and requesting her representa-
ves only "to their best efforts to prevent such
extension by such constitutional Legislation as mag
be necessary" and also to vote for the admission of
California as State affirming the power of Con-
gress slavery in the District of Columbia, and
instructing the Senators, &c, TO support law
"that shall put an end to the SLAVE trade in that
District The minority of the committee reported
back the Senate resolutions. No action had been
taken by the House at our last advces The ma
jorty resolutions manifest something Of hesitation
certainly.
During the past week. in the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives, Mr. David offered a
batch of resolutions setting forth that the object
of the federal constitution was to secure liberty,
and the South is determined if o.sible to extend
slavery into the new Territories, and therefore
making known the determination of Pennsylva-
mia, by all constitutional means, to oppose the ex-
tension of slavery over territory now free, and in
structing her Senators and requesting her repre-
sentatives to resist all attempts to extend it, and
to oppose the admission Of any new State without
an exclusion of slavery therefrom.
Mr. David moved that the House do proceed to
the consideration of the resolutions upon the
above subject. but the House refused to consider
by yeas 40, nays 46.
We confess we do not look upon either of these
indications as being very important.

advice to the WhiSs.

The New York Herald cautions the wha
party against erecting platforms and passing re-
solutions in their conventions. 1t says
g Principles destroyed Mr. Clay's chances 70,
the Presidency: A platform put Daniel Web
ster above this earth, and beyond the votes OIL
his countrymen. The wings cannot swallow
great men and great platforms together They
can take a large platform and a small man, bu
cannot swallow great man, even with q small
platform. This is the whole truth in nutshell
1t sticks out, whichever way we look at it, ana
true wisdom will be best eXemplfcd by needing
the monitions of experience"
This is what might be termed ga cave in" in
the parlance of the day "Principlcs DESTROYED
Mr.. Clay's chances for the Presidency" This
admission makes one of two things necessary.
Either the principles were not sound and, there
fore, should not prevail, or the people were ir-
norant and could not tell good from evil, or truth
from error. Wings will not have the face-they
dare not assert the latter, and if they admit the
former, they are swamped. But the Herald,
"a wing paper does admit the forlner-does ad-
init that, with REDEEMED principles, which may
be known by the elcctor when he casts his vote.
the wing party must be defeated. Why? be-
cause knowledge of whggery is sufficient to
guard majority of the people from its insidi-
Gus doctrines. This admission reveals truth
which the wing party has been long trying to
conceal; but truth is mighty and must pre-
vail - sa

The Gazette and the Ra,I-Road.

An article in late number of the Galena Ga
zette, in which the Editor, in an innocent way,
attempts a vein of ridicule at the expense of Du-
buque, reminds us of the cowardly school-boy
who, in despair of mastering his rival, puts or
mock -heroic air, and says, "if cunt lick goa
,ciH make mouths at your sister,"
In sober earnest, we think it unbecominc in
the Gazette, to manifest so much sensitiveness
upon the subject of the termination of the Hi.
nois Rail Road, or, on account of the rising
greatness of what it is pleased to consider riva
town. 1t is no fault of ours, that Dubuque is
fast outstripping the enterprisng town of Gale
ma, in the road to greatness. 1t is the natura
advantages of her location, and not the enter
prize of her citizens, Of which we boast 1t il
this, that will put her in the ascendancy; and i
is this, that induced Congress to make it one o
the termini of the most magnificent rail roat
scheme ever conceived of in the country, not
withstanding the dogged opposition OF the Gale
ma member, and his mouth-piece, the Gazette
OF the castigating which the Gazette gives t,
to our merchants, we have nothing to say. W.
presume it is all well enough

Fugitive Slave Law.

We have devoted very considerable portion
of our space this week to this subject Our ex-
cuse is, that it is now the question of questions
1t will be made, for some time to come, the ali
ment of fanaticism on one side, and the rallying
point of patriotism the other Fanatics will
cry out, ''rcpeal the law, or resist its execution
Patriots will rally under the cry Of ''Obcd;cncc
to law. cit is manifestation of the will OF
the people, and in accordance with the express
inunctions Of the constitution. Hear what the
Constitution says: "The fugitive from labor or
service shall be delivered up on a claim of the
person claiming his service or labor" This
language applies to all, whether white or black,
who are bound to service, either apprentices
for life, as slaves, or apprentices for term of
years. Does the fugitive slave law say more?
No. Does it take away from the slave any
rights before possessed? No Does it give to
the master more than is given by the Constitu-
ton? No: but it takes from him a ministerial
power, and transfers it to federal officer As
we have shewn already, the present law is more
supplementary than otherwise. 1t gives the
master nothing, but takes from him the prvi-
lege OF making the arrest himself, and transfers
to duly appointed officer. Why, then, clamor
SO much against the law? Aye, why? 1t is the
same in spirit as the Constitution. Itis the same
in substance as the law Of 1913, which received
the appreciation of Washington. 1t is the same
in its effects as both even to the opposition made
against it by pseudo philanthropists, disorgan-
zers and false teachers The stability Of the
Union will be tried by this law; and it becomes
the duty of every citizen to study it we'll before
condemning it. Let it be tried by the constitu-
ton, and not by individual opinion. Let it be
tried as practical question, on which the dcsti-
ny of a great nation is depending, and not as an
abstraction beyond the pale of the Constitution.
Let every citizen constitute himselfa jury upon
the question, and let him remember that his
country is on trial
