Louisiana vs.. Maine.

The MAINE REsoIUTioNs.-W find the fol-
lowing in the Baton Rouge advocate, of the
2lst:
At n late session of our Legislature, Gov
Wicklliie sent in TO the Senate series of in
sultng resolutions which had been forwarded
by the Governor of Maine, As the sense OF the
Legislature OF that State on the subject of
slavery. The Senate very properly refused to
take any notice OF them, or even to allow n
notice of their having been received 10 go
upon their journals. In returning them to
their original source, Governor Wickline adj
dresses the following sensible and dignilied
letter to the Governor Of Maine. Its breviiy
IL only excelled 10y its great taste;

A 0ril, 1851, aud by you forwarded To me,
have, at your request. been laid before the
senate Of Louisiana, and due consideration
having bs en- had thereon, l have been
requested BY that body 10 return them to
you.
Louisiana recoS aizes the constitution OF
the United States, as eS,,s ounded by the highest
judicial tribunal of the aston, % be the su-
preme law OF the land, ana ranks obedience
thereto as among the most solemn OF the OBJ
legations which she has assumed aptsa herself
as n member OF the confederlcy. These reso-
lutions are e sentially aggressive and resl, lu-
tionary ia their tendency and aim, and sesA
the subversion OF compact which Louisiana
has plighted her faith TO support. Addressed,
as they are, To her, che canaof, therefore, bat
regard them as solicitations TO reasonable

only deems herself justified in repelllng them,
but feels that her honor would be deeply
wounded were she 10 give them q place In her
