THE LEGISLATURE OF NEW YORK
THE DRIED SCOTT RESOLUTIONS.

THIN 1AkI0S1SAsAIQtAE OE Me- w IIfth -
THE DRIED SCOTT RESOLUTIONS.
The Legislature Of the State Of New York after q
session of one hundred and three days, adjourned on
the 18th instant. About eight hundred laws consti-
tute the sum Of its labors Enough, in all conscience
were the laws all good laws in regard to which, how
ever, there Is much more than grave doubt. From
the multiplicity of the acts passed it is evident New
York is cursed with lawmultplyng Legislatures just
as is the State Of Louisiana and most Of the other
States of the confederacy. We have law material
enough to govern Christendom and from this very
superabundance more than from all other causes
bned, incline to think the unhappy spirit of insub
ordination to law generally, now earfuly rife through
out the land, had its origin few good laws, faith
fully executed are infinitely better than hundreds and
thousands Of statutes ineicenty enforced not en-
forced at ALL
But to the bred Scott resolutions Shortly before
adjournment the following resolutions passed the
Senate by vote of II to TO- and the House by vote
Of AZ to IS. We append them
Resod That this State will not allow slavery within her
BORDERS in FORM nnder any petence, for time
Resod That the Supreme Court of the United States by
reason Of majority the Judges thereof having identified it
with sectional and aggressive party has impaired the conf
S be- and
the respective Governors of the States of this Union
Speaking Of the foregoing resolutions, the New
York Courier and Enquirer, Of the Goth inst, says,
that the Legislature indicated the character of the
Free State of New York against those aggressions
of slavery, on which the Supreme Court of the
United States has sought to stamp the seal of its ap
prevail
WE'LL what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
anda Of tho old a faIs
We believe it to be true. Now, let US make the ap-
plcation in reply to the Courier and Enquirer, and
its endorsement of the above resolves. Suppose the
Legislature of Louisiana should adopt resolution to
this effect
Reolre That this State will extend the protection of the
any FORM any preence for any time however
the person of New Yorker who
come within the Jurisdiction of Louisiana.
The Courier and Enquirer would denounce such a
resolution in the bitterest terms of invectve the Ian
guage allowed. And yet it would be no more anne
nabe to denunciation than the resolution it has
cordially endorsed! There is not particle of sub
stantial difference between the two propositions.
Let draw the parallel still closer. Suppose some
New Yorker had been maltreated and plundered in
Louisiana under the immunity bestowed i'll the above
resolution had brought an action for redress had
taken it through all the courts and that finally the
supreme Court OF tne united states mad decided
against the Vahdty OF the LOUISIANA resolution, and
tat then our Legislature should resolve IN this wise
