THE LOUISVILLE JOURNAL.

THE LOUISVILLE JOURNAL.
The pages Of the Louisville Journal show that the editor
has fully fallen back into bis old habits Notwithstanding
his penitenii promises Of reform months ago We
copy two specimens from single number Of his paper that
of the 10th Of May
The nothing party the free States composed Of
rank and he of the whg and abolition parties with
very small proportion Of democrats Washington Uason.
oery the North have gone the know
nothngs where the world many others have gone
DON'T the elections in New Hampshire and throughout
all the States, compared with the pre-
vious elections Indicate very clearly that number Of
democrats have gone someehere p Loasscie Journal.
ConMsr--In New Hampshire the democrats polled
nearly $4,000 votes within fraction Of their old vote
while the whig party entirely lost in the abolition
and know-nohing ranks.
The Washington Union in attempting reply TO U.S. says
that withn few weeks past the nothngs and abo
tionists Of the New York legislature have passed the
violent and fanatcal abolition resolutions We will say
that the Union capable Of asserting thing another
for IL half capable Of asserting true thing false
The New York legislature did pass the violent and
fanacal resolutions that before it, 1t rejected them,
and its know nothing members voted for the rejection
Louisville Journal.
CoMNEsrTo which reply by asserting that the fol-
lowing resolutions passed both branches of the New York
legislature before its late adjournment in April asn the
senate the negative from five to nine of
thirty present. in the house the vote ranged about
to go yeas democrats generally in the negative Wings
and know-nothings nearly in body for the resolutions
1t is possible however that these not natica
ouons in the eyes Of the Journal and its knownohng
contemporaries
Whereas the passage Of the bill organizing the Terrific
rcs Kansas and Nebraska and repeating that portion
the Missouri Compromise which prohibited the existence
slavery within their limits for the purpose Of permitting its
establishment upon their SOIL gross violation Of good
faith and inflicted gricvous wrong upon free labor and
principles throughout the Union
And whereas this act and the spirit in which it
demonstrate the determination Of the avehodng
interest the power the federal pro-
the indefinite extension and permanent establishment
slavery
"And whereas Congress, having power right in
terere with slavery may exist in any State expressly
commanded by the federal constitution make all needu
rules and regulations concerning the Territories Of the United
States Therefore,
Resoleed That the people Of the State Of New York
and assembly demand Of Congress the
of law declaring that slavery shall not exist
cept where is established by the local law Of the State
thus restoring BY positive statute the prohibition Of slavery
from the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska.
Resolved That the people of the State of New York
represented and assembly, will not
admission Union of any State that may be
out Of the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska unless it'd
constitution shall prohibit the existence Of slavery within it
limits.
Whereas the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the
reputation of solemn legislative compact by the avehold
ing interest," the extension of slavery has released the
States from all obligations that may be expressed implied
any compromises the subject of slavery outside of the
federal constitution Therefore, be 1t
"Resolced, That while the people Of the State Of New
York. represented in senate and Assembly recognise and
have always respected the obligation of that prohbitoy
clause the constitution Of the United States which declares
that person held to service or labor in State under
the thereof escaping therein, be discharged from such
service labor but shall be delivered up claim of the
party whom such service or labor may be DUE they
gard the law Of 1850 which provides for employing the
whole power of the federal in the recapture
fugitive slaves, violation of the constitution,
croachmen the rights Of the several States outrage
upon the principles Of justice, and disgracefu to the spirit
and civilization Of the age in which live; and that h
their opinion the welfare Of the Union and the prpias
republican liberty demand its repeal"
fnshon that the Louisville Journal at
tempts to deceive and to mslead the South. The editor
will soon be compelled to take another beg the pub
lie pardon for his sins.
