The main division is made on the supposition
that Mr.. Morgln, Seward Wing, is elected from
the Cayuga and Cortland district, which, on the
contrary ,7sends How, Il radical Democrat, by 30
This ties the delegation, and leaves an
equal number of radical members of each party,
and an equal number Of Nationals. There - some
of names in this Classification. There
will probably he more Democrats standing out
against measures or compromise and against con
cessDn to the slave power, than Wing. The
radical Democrats elected are of the school OF
Preston King while some of the Wings, marked
as the supporters Of Seward, of yielding ina
trrin, and can soon be moulded to the wishes Of
the President and his Cabinet. But there will be
up wards Of twenty opponents of slavery IN the
delegation from this State, and about halt that
number of reliable upholders of the Compromise.
Those politicians who have thought the Union
in danger, all last winter, because New York had
one radical ree-soil Democrat in Congress, will
become Devil !ered when they see IL dozen strong
colleagues tanning him. The concurrence Of II
decided ma joriy Of the delegations Of both the
national parties, in sustaining the sentiments of
New York and Of the North, will certainly add a
weight to the voices and the votes of the State in
Congress, which it did not possess last year, when
the delegation was of political character
ment" in the cities, will therefore have to renew
md swell higher their panic cries, as TIE danger
tllua increases
Whatever doubts may have existed elsewhere
- to the sentiment Of New York upon the Com
promise aud its concoclors, will, we trust, be
cleared up by this result. There is much that is
| obscure and ambiguous in the polit tics of the State
but Of the sentiment OF the people on this subject,
there il doubt.

PRESIDENT FILLMORE AND THE FUGITivf
SLAVE LAW-The President of the UntcC
States has caused the acting Secretary Of State
to write II letter to Mr.. COLLINS, OF Macon
Geo ga, o" ner Of the negroes CRAFT, now il
Boston, il answer to letter from Mr.. COLLINS
Informing him that the President has no sufli
cient evidence Of the fact that the fugitive slave
law has been resisted in Roston-that the cvi-
dcn"c furnished by him, Collins, through the
reports Of various newspapers, is no evidence III
all, and that, therefore, he does not feel author
lied to aid in enforcing the law in any other
than the ordinary method, and thinks that the
people Of Boston will carry out tue law t! en-
selves A rational conclusion, surely, in the
face Of the recent events there, when those who
pursued the fugitivcs were compelled by the
mob to fly to save their lives!
Bat how much more evidence did the Prrsi
Gent have that the people Of Texas had violated
the laws Of the Uniled States, wien he sent his
famous message to Congress, threatening that
State with the army, navy and militia Of the
United States Was there, we ask any candid
mind, rs muc! evidence before the public thai,
Texas intended to violate any law ofthc United
StatoS, rs there is now that the Fugitive slave
law will be, as it has already been, utterly and
ShanrtuIIy disrcgalded.

RESOLVED, That in relation to the institution OF
slavery, VIC still believe in the necessity Of its
being abolished by Congress, wherever Congress
has power over it under the Constitution in the
necessity of positive prohibition by Congress
Of the extension of that institution into any OF
the territories Of the United States, and the ne
cessty also Of placing the Government Of the
United States in its executive and Legislative ac-
ton, actively and perpetua!ly on the idea Of free
dom.
ReSolced, That we rejoice in the passage of
the bill admitting California rs II free State into
the Union, and abolishing the slave traffic in the
District of Columbia, but that we have wit
messed with deep regret the passage Of the bill
settling the boundary with Texas, by giving up
nearly 100000 square miles of free territory to
that State, and paying Slo,O0o,O0O to satisfy an
unjust claim to a large portion Of the free Terri
tory of New Mexico.
ResolOed, That we hereby express our un-
qualified disaPprobat;on of the Fugitive from
service bill recently passed by Congress; be-
cause we held that in some features, it is clearly
unconstitutional, and, if not, that it is grossly
tyranncql in its provisions, and tramples down
all those safeguards of personal liberty which
have borne the sanction of ages, and have been
the chief glory Of Anglo-Saxon legislation from,
| time immemorul.
