otsm of our ancestors, who framed the Union of
the States under federal Constitution that we
attribute our power, dignity and prosperity as q
nation, the full possession and enjoyment of civil
and religious liberty, the security of property and
the means of moral and intellectual elevation,
which are the brth-rghts of every citizen, and
all the magnificent results of our growth as peo-
pie, to the Union under the Constitution that the
maintenance and existence of these great bless-
ings during the present generation, and their trans
mission to posteriiy, are secure only by faithful
adherence to the Union, and implicit obedience to
the Constitution.
Resolved, That the fabric of our General Gov
eminent was the product of reciprocal concession
among the conflicting interests of different Sec
tions of the country, of mutual respect of the d.
| versities of opinion which prevailed among the
citizens and of sincere affection, begotten by their
common origin, and the common perils, tolls and
sacrifices through which their common liberties
had been won and that the General Government
can be sustained and perpetuated only upon the
same basis of concession, respect and affection.
Resolved, That we cordially approve the recent
measures Of Congress for. the adjustment of the
dangerous questions arising out of the acquisition
of territory under the treaty with Mexico, and
that in consideration of the various and discord
ant interests to be affected thereby, we hold that
the compromise is fair one, and ought to be
chez rfuy sustained and enforced by every patriot
in every part of the republic.
RESOLVED, That the further agitation of the slave
question is dangerous to the interests of the Union
Resolved. That this House will make no appro
priations Of any of the public moneys the support
of any college, academy, seminary, other inst-
tuition of learning in this State, in any where
it is known that spirit of abolition, of disrespect
of the various institutions of the country, of DISC
bedience to the law in any manner, is encouraged
and fostered there, where the same is permitted
or tolerated by the person persons having charge
thereof
RESOLVED, That the property of the citizens
should be protected by just and equal laws of the
State, whether such property consist of slaves or
otherwise.
These resolutions, giving rise to debate, lay over
under The rules.
These resolutions will be pressed by Mr.. Thomp-
son, and other friends of the Union, until all the
abolition democrats and wings shall have shown
their hands. They will aid to make this extra ses-
sion a stormy one.
Gov. Hunts Message is plain, forcibe, bus-
ness paper, urging the enlargement of the Erie
Canal, and the Oswego along with it, and main
tanning that these improvements cannot be carried
out with honor to the State, unless the States
guarantee is given for them.
