Personal Liberty in New York.

We hope the Legislature Of New York will
give tic bill described below deliberate and care
fu consideration, and if the bill is to be passed,
that it will be done far in advance Of the close
of the session. The war upon Vermont has been
predicated more upon the manner of her action
than upon the principle Of the law enacted
Let us have q case that can be tried on It's mer-
its.
A bill has been introduced in the New York
Assembly, entitled, ian act 20 prevent the arrest
or the removal Of free citizens Of that State be-
vond its jurisdiction, except for crime" 1t pro-
vidcs that any person who shall arrest or be in
any manner concerned IN auesting any free cit
izen Of that State, with intent to have him reno
we'd against his will beyond the jurisdiction of
the State, shall be deemed llty Of kidnapping.
ANY person who shall openly and publicly
have resided in the State for one year preceding
such an arrest or removal, shall be deemed free
citizen within the meaning OF the act.
On the trial Of an indictment found under the
act the defendant may prove that the person
charged 10 have been removed was not IN fact a
freeman entitled to come and reside IN the State,
and if the Jury shall be satisfied thereof, they
shall acquii the defendant: bat warrant, order,
process or certificate, issued or made by any
court officer, and no eX-partc affidavit deposition
or record shall be received or admitted in evl-
dcnco TO establish the right to arrest or remove
the person charged to have been arrested or re-
moved. This act does not apply 10 the case Of
a person attempted to be arrested or removed
from beyond the jurisdiction Of the state on a
charge Of treason, felony or crime, or 10 such
cases of arrest or removal OF persons belonging
to or employed in the army 1r navy Of the Unl-
ted Stltes- Boston Traveller.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Coffin into the As
sembly, is designed, it will BE seen, to protect
the rights Of free citizens II Is not only con-
sututlona IN all respects but 1t is in entire con-
fornity with the system of jurisprudence Of all
the States. The STAKEHOLDER and the funcliosa-
RES whom he employs, in executing processes
against an nliedged fugitive slave must see to
it, at their peril, that they co not touch a free
citizen Of tins State. 1t shall be defence 70
the abductor If he prove the chaltel to be fu-
gltiye slave. This is the law in relation to Il
horse-that the owner may seize hun, bat shall
take any other horse at his peril. Ii Is the law
in relation to arrcsts-that the man wrongiully
arrested shall have damages against his captor.
Why should 1t not be tho law IN relation to a tu-
gitvc slave:
