} THE VOICE Or THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE
~ Nc follow ing resolutions were passed by the
Legislature OF New York before their recent
adjournmtn:. The negative vote in the Senate
was five 10 nine out oil some thirty in the at1ir-
native, and IN the House il ranged from about
eleven nays 10 sixty yeas. The very few DEM
ocrats!n the Legislature voted generally against
tho resolutions, and the SEWARD Wings and ihs
Know Nothings seem 10 have gone in body
for them
Whereas the passage Of the bill organizing
the Territories Of Kansas and Nebraska and re-
peallng that portion OF the Missouri Comprom.
ss which prohibited the existence of slavery
within their lui,s,fo the purpose of permitting
its establishment upon their soil was gross vio-
la,i5n Of good faith, and inflicted erieysus wrong
upon free labor and free p inciples throughout
the Union

b > .riSa AND ACTION OF THE KN0w NOTHING
STATE COUNCIL oFMAssAcnUsRrTs.
! The Boston Csroniete makes the following
slaemen, of the transactions ofihis body.
"Senator illaon made & speech in opposi-
ton TO declaring All persons from Office who
are no, native burn. The General said that
bis haivism, when it carried him TO an srdeav-
or to make twenty enc year naturalization
law, eafied hin, lar enough, and as far as the
party III the South and West wouli agree to.
Mr.. Ely, oil Boston, urged the proriia,y Of OK
Guiding all aliens from office, but the views OF
MI. " l!lson seem To haze the more adherenis
in the meeting.
eve understand, also, that the delegation
from this State instructed 10 urge upon the Ma
tional Corventinn the opening Of the dvors OF
the lodges for he future, and to do away with
much it mol all OF the present secrecy Resols,
tons uere passed IN favor of the abolition of
slavery IN The District Of Columbia and in all
the Uaifed States Territories; declaring thai no
more siape States can be admitted into the Union,
but that SLAVERY mag be unmolestsd uhsrs it no,o
eri ts Furthermore that these resolutions MUST
INSISTED ON at any cost, ecsn 10 The dissolu-
ton of the Contention"
The Epsn:ag Telegraph says Of tho election:
Ii is rumorc.i to day that there were about
three hundred voies thrown for the officers.
The tone of he council WAS decidedly anti
slavery. Henry Gardner of Boston, Henry
Wilson, Of Naliek, Edward Ruflr e,on, OF Fall
River, John w. Foster, Brimfad, Henry Fl.
Rugg, Of Dennis Andrew A. Richmond, Adams,
ard Augustus c Carey, Of Ipswich, were
chosen the delegates TO the national council in
june next at Philadelphia. A. B. Ely, ESQ,
made an anti slavery Know Nothing speech
Strong anti slavery resolves were passed in the
evening without dissenting vote. Some who
were huhkerish hitherto admitted il was no
use--the order must take ant-savery ground
at is evident from the action Of the council,
lift is correctly reported, that tho snli-savery
mon in tne Order have the power, and W i'll use
il, 10 rut down whoever shall SET him against
The an,i.slavery sentiment ofthe State"
The Courier, that staunch Wing organ of
the true DANIEL WEBSTER type, then adds, and
we commend its testimony to the Southern
Wings:
.'As, from the beginning. we have never
looked upon he Know Nothing organization
in this State in any other light than as an or.
sanizaiou which was controlled entirely by
aDolitouism, we are not at all surprised at the
result OF the election, which is fairly set forth
