The Taylor Resolutions-1he AsawguraI-Ihe L.
gislative Stampede.
Yesterday was the most important day of the ses-
sion Of the present Legislature of this State, not from
the passage of any act in its legislative capacity but
from the fact of the triumphant endorse ent by the
Assembly Of the principles laid down in the inaugu
raj address of President Pierce-an endorsement
sustained under the most peculiar circumstances,
against the nearly unanimous vote Of the whg mem.
bers and despite Of the deserton Of the banburners
and abolitionists
Every important feature Of the inaugural has re-
ceived an endorsement from the national democrats
of the Assembly-the progressive ideas therein ad-
vanced in regard to foreign policy, the nalty of
the compromise measures and the maintenance OF
the Fugitive Slave law.
On the opening Of the afternoon session. under the
order Of business permitting motions and resolutions
the resolutions Of Mr.. d. B. Taylor, Of New York,
introduced the 18th Of March last during the re.
gular session, which had at that time met with de-
termined opposition from the barnburners, and been
tabled together with substitute introduced by Mr..
Gale, of New York, known as the Gale dodge"
supported by Mr.. Champlin, Of Allegany, and his
barnburner coadjutors, and also further amended by
the introduction of the Buffalo free soil Van Buren,
and Adams platform, were all brought up on motion
Mr. Holey, whig, Of Niagara, took the floor and en-
tered upon most interesting description Of the he
terogeneous assemblage convened in Buffalo upon
that free soil PLATFORM wings, democrats, free soil
ers aboitonists, spirits in black, and Of every
variety in the particolored conglomeraton Of fac
ton and disunion. The Adamses, Van Bnrens, Gates,
Dix, Chase Sumner, Douglas, Ward, and all the
host Of disorganizers, were portrayed by master
hand and the brought back in vivid colors for
the edi6cation and pleasure of the barnbuners who
occupy SO many seats upon the floor Of the Assem-
bly,. The speech was received with great satisfac-
tion by the national men, who enjoyed the rich er-
pose by the gentleman, who was an eye witness,
while the barnburners sat petred in their seats
exhibited all the contortions Of impotent rage.
Soon after the conclusion Of this brilliant and
castle speech, which fell like bombshel among the
barnburner host, the previous question was moved
and sustained by the House, which brought the vote
directly upon the resolutions introduced by Mr..
Taylor.
At this juncture Mr. Loomis, barnburner, of
Herkimer moved division Of the question, in order
to take the vote upon each resolution separately
which was ordered and as the vote was about to
proceed, the Speaker, Mr.. Ludlow, barnburner,
of Suffolk, left the chair, calling Mr.. Ellsworth,
whig, of Cattaraugus, to occupy his seat, and was
soon seen in earnest Consultation with Loomis
Champlin, and other barnburners. The first reso-
luton OF the series was carried after some delay in
the disposition of several applications to be excused
from voting. Pending this vote the Speaker took
his hat and left the chamber, followed after by
M. Loomls and several other barnburners, who set
the cue for their associates.
The second resolution was now taken up, and here
commenced scene of confusion. The barnburners
plainly that the national democrats were aronsed
and were determined to press the resolutions through
and place themselves upon the record as sustaining
the broad national principles laid down in the inau-
gural Motion after motion was made to adjourn, to
lay on the table, to excuse from voting and on each
the ayes and noes were called and taken with view
to procrastnate and finally after The lapse of nearly
three hours the second resolution carried. The
question was now upon the last resolution embracing
the compromises, the Fugitive Slave law and pledg
ing The State to their support. The excitement in
the House was now intense, and the terrified barn
burners renewed in every form their motions with
view 10 stave on the final vote. call of the House
was moved the ayes and noes taken and lost
motion to adjourn to lay on the table and to post
pone were successfully put and voted down; and sh
one after the other the hopes the banburners de-
Lay prevent action were lost asquad of barnburners
would be seen Fastening to the door and abandoning
the chamber, until, when the vote was ordered on
the last resolution there but four barnburners
left upon the floor and they voted against the reso
lution-one of them, Mr. Marsh of Tompkins taking
the opportunity, on motion to be excused, to make
an out aIdout barnbuner speech, after the style of
i84s, as set by Van Buren, Dix d Co. but, lnfor-
tunatey for the completion this scene and the de-
Velorement of barnburnersm in 1853 the House did
not consent to hear his disorganizing, disunion
harangue, and, by decisive. vote, compelled the
gentleman to place himself upon the record,
which he did, as opponent of the principles laid
down in the inaugural. Messrs. Marsh, p. w. Rose,
OF Jefferson, Chamberlain, of Columbia, and Gro
ker, Of Tompkins recorded themselves against the
resolution The remaining democrats, true to the
national iuith, as promulgated at Baltimore, and
reiterated in the inaugural, stand recorded in favor
of the resolution.
The House adjourned Immediately after the pas
sage of these resolutions, by unanimous vote, and
the national democrats loud in their congratu-
Iations over the triumph achieved. The Legislature
OF the State is now redeemed from the mputations
cast upon OF refusing to endorse the principles laid
down by the Chief Executive in his inaugural; the
first move has been made in this State by the national
democracy in support of the Baltimore platform
since tie late elections and the fact is fixed that
barnblrrers who could spit upon the platform, and
reject the principles promulgated at our late national
convention while they were working for victory and
spos under the rallyng cry of 'Union and harmo-
n.y." are now the same disurganizng faction which
defeated Lewis Cass in 1S4s and have bred dissen-
sion in the democratic ranks ever since.
Every barnburner member OF the Assembly either
lodged the vote on Mr.. Tayors resolutions or re-
corded himself against them, While the national
democrats, who have been accused during the whole
Of the last and this session Of coalition and facous
opposition, the men who yesterday remained
faithfully ~ their post and with h1nness and consis
tency voted down every motion designed to postpone
embarrass 81 defeat the resolutions and placed them
selves on the record the supporters of those prn
cipes Which were announced at Baltimore as the
platform Of the democratic party, and laid down by
She President as the principles upon which his ad
minisird,on was based. SPECTATOR
