RESIGNATION or THE DEMOCRATIC SENA.
TORS IN NEW YORK.

A bill authorizing loan of nine millions of
dollars, for the completion Of the Erie Canal En-
largement and the Genesee Valley and Black
River Canals, pledging the future revenues of the
canals for the payment of the loan was lately in
troduced in the New York Legislature and
strenuousy urged by the Wing members. The
10th section of the 9TH article of the new Consti
tuition declares
"That except the debts specified in the 10th
and ! It'll sections Of that article (which are debts
to meet casual deficits, or failures Of revenue, or
for expenses not provided for, not exceeding at
any time one million of dollars, and TO repel in
vasion suppress instruction, or defend the State
in war; no debt shall hereafter be contracted by
or on behalf Of the people of this State, unless
such debt be for a single work or object, and tax
be imposed sufficient to pay the principle and in
terest within eighteen years from the time of the
contracting thereof; aud that every law authoriz
ing loan, shall before il takes effect; be submit.
ted to the people at the general election, and be
approved by majority OF all the votes cast for
and against il at such election.
"The sixth section Of the same article declares
that the Legislature shall not SELL lease, or 9TH
erwise dispose Of any of the Canals of the State,
but they shall remain the property Of the State,
and under its management forever
"Thc third section of the same article provides
that after paying the expenses Of superintend-
ence and repairs Of the canals and the sums ap-
propriated by the first and second sections Of the
article, (Sl,65OO00 to pay our existing State
debit there shall be paid out of the surpls reve-
nues of the canals, to the Treasury Of the State,
on or before the 30th day Of September in each
year, for the use and benefit Of the General Fund,
such sum not exceeding two hundred thousand
dollars as may be required to defray the necessa-
~ expenses Of the State, and the remainder Of
the revenues of the said canals shall in each fs-
cal year, be applied in such manner as the Legis-
lature shall direct to the completion Of the Erie
Canal Enlargement, and the Genesee Valley and
Black River Canals, until the said canals shall be
completed"
The wisdom of these provisions is manifest. The
People cannot guard too carefully againt the Gre
alton of debts by their agents. The Canal Bill
was clearly repugnant to the spirit and policy OF
these provisions, and it seems to US, in plain vio-
lation Of their letter. The Democratic members
resisted the passage Of the bill, and announced
their purpose IL it were insisted upon, to resign
their places. II was insisted upon, and on the
18th, twelve Democratic Senators made good their
declaration by sending in their Protest, and re-
signing their seats, leaving the Senate without a
quorum. An adjournment sine die became neces-
sary; but as the appropriation bills had not been
passed, and the State Government was left with

THE HIGHER LAW.

The editor Of the Mem York E1press who has
taken great pleasure in denounciDg and ridicul-
ing MIR Seward and his higher law" doctrine, in
reply to a communication from subscriber, in a
recent number of his paper, thus lays down the
doctrine as his own
1.-THE law of God is unquesionsbly superior
to the law of man. No human legislation can make
The duty Of a citizen 10 commit a crime. All theo-
logians, metaphy sicians, and Christian publicists
agree to this. The Christian martyrs, therefore,
in suffering the penalties Of the civil law-that
is, martyrdom-in order to obey the law of God,
illustrated in their sufferings both their love of
God and their obedience to the law of man. We
ought TO obey God rather than man, but If ne break
civ government thereby, ne ought also eheertnlly to
endure Us penalties, as did the martyrs.

THE FREE SOIL MEN IN BOSTON AND THE
FUGITIVE LAW.

The Webster papers 10 Boston were unscru-
pulous IN their Misrepresentation Of the course
of the Free Soil men, and the Telegraph brought
us any amount Of false reports about them. They
were denounced as counselling and concerting
violent opposition to the Laws and the most rev.
dictionary measures. The following brief para
graph from the Boston Commonwealth sets the
matter all right
I" We take this occasion to repeat what we have
frequently sid, that we countenance no resist
ance to law. We need not reierate our abhor-
renee Of the Fugitive Slave Law. But we rely
solely upon legal, constitutional modes of opposi
ton No other modes have been attempted in
Boston, and we do not believe that any other
modes are thought Of The liberties of free citi-
zens must be protected by employing all the safe
guards which our laws afford"

This is precisely the doctrine of Seward, ex-

LET US BE UP AND DOING.

Anti-slavery men must understand each other,
and work together. The cause OF Freedom calls
for concert of action among its friends The
present is an important time. Soon a Presidential
campaign is to be entered upon. Are we prepared
to make our voices heard and our influence felt
II not, how shall we get our armor completely
on
This is the great question now. Some say let
us have State, while others are in favor Of a
National Convention There are reasons in IA
vor of both, but we must have one at time. Don't
let all the time be spent in planning without
some action.
Let anti-sayery men wake up, and get the
friends of their respective States aroused
State Conventions first, and then National
one, seems to US the proper course. Shall Ohio
take the lead, and hold her Convention at some
early day.
Mount Vernon is central point, and the "a
cilities for getting here are good. What say the
friends throughout the State to holding Con
vention here?
The fourth of July would be favorable time,
and that day ought to be again consecrated to the
cause Of Freedom We make these suggestions,
and hope to hear from others Perhaps an ear.

less than the average in whole country, aud 7'26
per cent less than in the free States Besides, IL
is confidently believed that more white persons
emigrate from the free to the slave States, than

We think the difference between the ratios Of
natural increase is estimated too high but, after
the various calculations that have been presented,
we presume no candid mind can doubt that there
is decided difference in favor of the free States
That it is not greater is owing to the fact, that
the vast new territory acquired by Slavery for
the last half century has delayed to great ex-
tent its depressing Influence on population 1t is
in the older States, whose soil has been exhausted
by its improvdent culture that we are to look for
its effects upon the ratio of natural increase.

FANEUIL HALL CLOSED AGAINST DANIEL
WEBSTER.
From the Boston Courier,

From the Boston Courier
Con Monday evening, the Mayor and Aldermen
went into secret session for the purpose of acting
on the following petition:
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen Of the City
"The undersigned respectfully ask the use of
Fsneuil Hall on the 18th day of April, 1851, for
the purpose of public reception Of the Hon.
Daniel Webster, and to consult on the public
good.
"Signed by George G. Smith and over one
hundred other substantial citizens, Of both politi
cal parties"
After some proceedings had taken place in pri-
vate, the doors were opened, and the following
action on the foregoing petition was reported:
upon the petition Of George G. Smith and
others, for the use Of Faneuil Hall for public
meeting on the 18th instant,
" Resolved, That in view Of the recent action Of
this Board upon other similar applications, and Of
the present excited state of the public mind il is
inexpedient to grant the use Of the Hall for the
purposes asked forn
The vote on the adoption of the resolution stood
as follows:
YEAs-Aldermen Briggs Clark, Grant, Kim
ball, and Monroe
NAYs-Aldermen Rolbrook. Rogers, and Smith
1t was not necessary for the Mayor to vote, but
II is understood that he declared himself strongly
against the resolution.
Yesterday afternoon in consequence Of the
general excitement occasioned by this, the Mayor
and Aldermen met again in secret session, and
proposal was made to rescind the order After
two hours debate the question was taken, and 1t
appeared that there were for resembling the re-
solve, the Mayor, Aldermen Holbrook, Rogers,
and Smith,, Against reconsidering Alder
men Briggs, Clark, Grant, and Munroe-4. The
vote being tie. the original resolution stands.
Mr.. Moses Kimball was present, but would
not vote. We do not learn that he assig ned any
reasons
The same body had previously laid upon the
table resolution to Invite President Fillmore to
the city, &c.
The action Of the Board in refusing Faneuil
Hall to Mr.. Webster is perfectly consistent, but
If we understand the matter, by no means credit
able to them. 1t had rejected some time before
an application by Stephen C. Phillips, and other
highly respectable citizens, for the use of the
Hall to hold Public Meeting in opposition to
the Fugitive Law, and Of course could not with
any show Of decency grant lite use to the support
ers Of that law and friends Of Mr.. Webster. In
both cases. Its action was wrong. All classes Of
citizens have right to be heard in cid Faneuil
Hall, which has been too long and gloriously
identified with the cause Of Free Discussion, TO
be shut at this late day against the free express
sion Of opinions.
