Massachusetts, Legislature met on the ID.
The President Of the Senate in accepting
the of;cs, made speech in which be
said. in substance, that while we meet
under circumstances suspicious in our
owa State, deep agitation perradss
other parts Of our country, causing
every true patriot TO feel the greatest
apxiuty. Disuniou is attempted in some
States, because. as is alleged, laws have
been passed in others, contrary to tbs Con-
situsion of tie United States. Massac'u
sets is accused Of unfaithfu,ness in this
matter; and some Of her enactments, al
though she has always been ready to submit
to judicial decisions aud is so still, she has
ever guarded jealOusly the liberty Of her
citizens, and | trus. ever will. We can
not falter now without disgrace and dis
honor. Whatever action We may take, let
us be careful Of tho rights Of others, but
faithful to our trusts, that We may return
them to our constituents unimpaired. The
speaker OF the House uttered substantially
the same sentiments.
The Legislature Of New York me. on ID.
Gov MeRGAs, in his message says, in rela-
ton to national affairs that in his opinion,
secession is disuniou, and so soon as it shall
take form and proportion is treason. which
j. will be the duty of the General Govern
rnent to arrest and punish. To permit Or
acqufese in reasonable conspiracy against
the national authorities, is to confess that
our Government IL an absolute failure. The
people Of New York are not prepared for
such an admission, and in the enforcement
of the laws, will give their earnest, faithful
and constant support.
New York does not ask, nor does she de- !
sire the restoration Of the Missouri Com
promise line. After full and free discus
zion, her people have decided against the
Of slavery into any Of the Terri
tories, and this they regard as disposition
Of that question till revised by the same
authority. Ever ready, nevertheless, as she
has proved herself to be heretofore, New
York will, in all honorable ways, endeavor
10 reconcile the arrangements now exist
ng in the country. The action of mag
,animous and loyal State should be patient,
,alm, conciliatory and fratsrnal, without
he surrender of important rights or the
'aorics of vital principles. He recon-.
nands the repeal of the so called Personal
Liberty Law, although it is entirely inope-
'aiivo and without any disposition to in
erfers. lie respectfully invites all States
hat have laws Of this character conflicting
With the Federal Constitution, to repeal all
If them. He thinks i. would be we'll for
he Legislature of New York State to give
'olemn assurances to tho Southern States
hat oil Of their rights under the Constitu-
ion and laws are recognized, ard will, on
he part of the people of this State, be res
,ecsed and maintained inviola.e. |
The Legislature of Pennsylvania met on /
he ID. Gov. Packer Dem. says the Con-
titutiou is something more than a compact.
Organized resistance to the Federal Gov
'rnmeus is rebellion. But, while denying
he right Of State to absolye its citizens I
rem allegiance to the Federal Gov eminent,
is proper that we carefully and candiily /
'xanine the reasons alleged, and If they are
veil founded they should be unhesitatingly /
smoved, and reparasion for the past and /
ecurity for the future made for govern
nent By the people would never do Injustice /
o any Of its citizens. Pennsylvania being /
included in the States alledged to have re-
'usea compliance with the fugitive slave
aw, be nnhesisasingly AYERS that the State
has been almost inyarisbly influenced BY /
high regard fer the rights OF sister States. /
