Resolutions adopted by the Whfy State
Convention of New York. after the passage
of the Compromise Ellis.
Resoired, That the admission of Californ-
ia into the Union as State, and with free
Constitution, meets with our hearty approba-
ton; and Territorial governments are
established for New Mexico and Utah. with
out any prohibitory clause, on the aSsump-
ton that slavery is excluded by other causes,
it's the solemn duty of Congress to extend
| the Jetfersonlan Ordinance over the territories
on the first indication that slavery or involun-
| tary seryitude is likely to be introduced into
them. szs
Resolred, That our thanks are especially
due to the Hon. William H. Seward, for the
signal ability and fidelity with which he has
sustained in the United States Senate, these
beloved principles of public policy SO long
cherished by the wings of the En-
pire State, expressed in State and County
Conventions, as well as in the votes and in
structlons of our State Legislature. Those
principles are eminently National and Repub-
hcan because they are just and equitable.
Resolutions adopted by the Democratic
Convention Of Io,oa after the passage Of
the Compromise bills.
Resolved, That considering the peculiar
character of the Supreme Judiciary, and the
ignorant, weak and friendless condition of the
rictims Of Slarery tn this country, ue deem
it incumbent on Congress, to guard ou,
organized Territories against the possible
introduction of that system, and to PROVIDE
FOR IT'S ABOLITION IN THE, DISTRICT OF
i COLUMBIA and wherever else it now ex-
lists under national Jurisdiction,
/ Resolged, That while we cheerfully abide
: the settled action of the past, and object not
to the presence in the sisterhood of nine new
slave States, not contemplated by the "com-
promises of the Constitution we do hope
we shall be pardoned by our slaveholding
and Hunker friends, for our fixed determin-
ations to meet their ever clamorous demand,
more ground for Slavery with the calm, in
/ flexible resolve: NO MORE CONCESSIONS
1 TO THE SLAVE POWER! NO MORE
SLAVE STATES !! NO NATIONAL
SLAVERY, SLAVE TRADING, NOR
SLAVE CATCIIINGl!!
Extracts from the Boston Atlas after the
passage ofthe Compromise Bills:
GA party must have policy, it must have
principles. 1t must be in favor of extending
slavery, or it must be against it; it must be il
favor of annexation of Cuba, or against it
1t must be in favor of the Fugitive slave law
or it must be against it. Noie, Men, the poi,a

Resolutions adopted by the whig State Conven
ton of Vermont, at Bellous Falls, June %, 1851.
i Resolved, That we regard the institution
of slavery as a moral and political evil, fol
the existence of which, in the several slave
holding States, We are in no manner accoun-
table, and that, BEYOND THE LIMITS OF
THOSE STATES, WE ARE OPPOSED
TO IT'S EXTENSION OR CONTINUAL
TION, UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Extract from speech of Senator
Chase, of Ohio, delivered at Toledo, May
30th, 1851:
i at is claimed that these compromise meas
ures were settlement of the slavery ques
ton. This is mere mockery. Every mar
who has an eye to see, or an ear to hear
knows that the question is not settled. 1t is
more unsettled than ever. The Fugitive slave
bill has thrown into the cauldron of contro
versy new elements, and applied it to fierce,
flames. 1t degrades the State sovereignties
it makes every mans personal freedom inse
cure; it sends its marshals and deputy marshal.
among us to seize any man who may be claim
ed as fugitive from service. 1t clothes it
irresponsible commissioners with powers t.
enforce that claim without affording any ade
quate opportunity of defence to its victim
How idle, and worse than idle, it is to tell u
tud1 luC qucSliou Is Scttlcu, WUen t0OSc Wnt
tell us so only meani it will be settled if free
people will aequiesce in the Provisions of law
like this!''
Il Extract from the New York Herald, on tn,
passage and effect. The Fugitive Slav
Bill
s.Then commenced the reaction. 1t ha
been overwhelming but it has not stopped
with the administration. CaSs, Dickinson
Douglass, and ali concerned in or eyading o
! consenting to, the measure from the North
have been absolutely overwhelmed in the lat
elections, excepting in New Jersey and Penn
: sylyania, where the people want modifca
ton of the Tariff All prospects of nationa
7 platforms and national candidates, upon tn
7 prop of the Fugitive slave bill, are shivere
e into fragments. The very thing which Mi
t Clay considered the cap-sheaf of the Com
. promise, has turned ont be the wooden hors
to the Trojans. Cass, Felch, and Benton
and Douglas, and Bright, smelt the rat, o
!, rather the cat but they have not escaped i
e 1t has turned everything upside down, fror
