Gov. Morgan on Amending the Constitutes.
- ALBANY. Thursday. March 81.

"
Gov. Morgan. through his private sec.
retary, Mr.. Doty. Transmitted Joint res.
olution Of Congress. proposing to thesev,
eral State Legislatures an article amenda-
tory Of the Constitution providing that
no amendment shall be made to the Con
stitution which will authorize or give Con.
gres power TO abolish or interfere within
any State. with the domestic institutions
thereof. including that of persons held to
labor Of service. such amendment to be
valid when ratified by three fourths ol
said Legislatures. ZION
In transmitting the resolutions the Gov.
ernor says:
The amendment proposed is one which
will commend itself to the Judgment while
il conforms to the sentiment of the people
Of the Safe. who on all occasions have
avowed the doctrine of the right of the
States respectively to control their domes-
tic institutions in such manner as they
may Judge most conductive 10 their hap.
piness and prosperity. While New York
is nnalterably opposed to the Institution OF
slavery within her own borders, and is un-
willing to submit to any external interior
ence with her internal policy, she is un-
qualifiedly in favor ofextcnding any proper
constitutional guarantee desired by her sis
ter States, against the exercise of any pow
er to interfere with or abolish the tlomes-
ito institutions therein. An amendment
to the Constit ution. such as is now pro-
posed. would be accepted by the Border
States as an earnest of the good faith OF
the Northern States to preserve for them
for all time their constitutional rights.
would respectfully and earnestly recon-
mend the adoption Of the resolution here
with communicated. -
