Resolutions similar in substance and spirit 10
those offered by MIR. yarnum, which we publish be.
low, should be passed by every Legislature in the
United States. Those resolutions simply an pproye
of the course Of the Administration. They do not
endorse the Fugitive law such, nor any one OF
the six measures which compose the Compromise
but they approve of the conduct of the President in
regarding those measures as a settlement Of the
vexed questions to which they relate, until time and
experience shall demonstrate the necessity of a
change.
Neither President Fillmore nor any of his Cabi
net-nor indeed, SO far We can judge, any of the
supporters of the Compromise measures believe
that the, Fugitive law was free from objections.
They regarded it the only measure suited to the
exigency which could be passed, and as such did
not feel at liberty, by defeating its purposes, to
plunge the country into inextrcable difficulty So
regard it, and thus is it regarded in these reso.
lutions of Mr.. Varnum. We hope our Legsla-
ture will feel it duty to pass similar resolutions:
Resolred (ifthc Senate concur,) That the I,egis
ature of the State of New York cordially respond
to the patriotic sentiments and wise counsels con
tanned in the last annual message of the President
Of the United States
Resolred, (if the Senate concur,) That the series
of measures passed at the ast session of Congress-
with the view Of healing sectional differences,
though not free from imperfections, do yet in their
mutual dependence and connexions form system
of compromise, the best that could be obtained from
conflicting interests and opinions, and, under all
the circumstances, well adapted to conciliate and
harmonze; that they ought to be regarded as set
tlcment in principle and in substance, of the dan
gerous and exciting subjects which they embrace,
and such should be acquiesced in until time and
experience shall demonstrate the necessity of fur
ther legislation to guard against evasion and abuse
Resoirsd, Gf the Senate concur,) That the peo.
pie of the State of New Yoik are as they have ever
been, sincerely attached to the Union OF the Statee
that they regard the Constitution OF the United
States the palladium of political safety and pros
perity that they will faithfully adhere to it in all
its parts, execute its stipulations, and maintain
and defend its compromises; and that, without ref
erence to the past, it is their earnest DESIRE it
will be their effort, that amty may be established
amongstthe States upon firm and lasting founda-
tions s-harmony preserved in the national councils,
and our glorious Union made perpetual.
Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) That the Gov
be requested to transmit copy of these
lutons to the President of the United States, the
Governors of the several States, and the Senators
and Representatives in Congress from this State.

highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul

The drawings and engravings Of D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior TO those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
