ALBANY, January 3.-Governor Morgan in his
Message, sent to the Legislature to-day, says, New
York still maintains the opinions she has always
held, in reference to slavery. She yields to none
of her sister States in devotion to the Union. She
emphatically dsavows all sympathy cooperation
with the misguided men who have sought, unaw-
fully, to interfere with the institutions of any of
her sister States. He concludes by referring to sa
very in the States and Territories: fielding cheer
ful obedience to the doctrine of State sovereignty,
and having no disposition to interfere with the To-
cal institution of the States he was prepared at all
times, to aid those States in the preservation of
