PHILADELPHIA, Jan. "a meeting of the most
prominent citizens was held to-day TO consider what
should be adopted to aid the constitutional
authorities of the State and Federal Government in
the enforcement of the laws. One hundred gentle
men were present Two sets of resolutions were
offered. One by Daniel Doughty, denying the right
of secession, and recommending that the military
establishment Of Pennsylvania be put upon a war
footing by the augmentation of the present regi-
ments, either by an increase in the militia APP
preparation. Judge Lewis offered the other series.
supporting the South and while denying the right of
secession, declaring it would be right to aeknOwl-
edge their independence instead of waging unlaw-
full war After exciting debate on the two sets
of resolutions, they were referred to a committee
to report on Saturday. A resolution requesting
Maj. Gen Patterson to call meeting Of the officers
of his divisoa, to adopt measures to increase the
force and efficiency of the militia, also adopted.

BnsTOS. Jan 3-Mr. Clafin made short address
in accepting the office of President of the Senate,
in which he said. While we'meet under circumstances
suspicious in our own State, deep agitation per-
vades other parts of our country, causing every
true patriot feel the greatest anxiety. DsuniOn
is attempted in States because, as IS alleged,
laws have been passed in others contrary TO the
Constitution Of the United States. Massachusetts, is
accused of unfathfulness in this matter in of
her enactments although she has always been ready
to submit TO judicial decision, and is still. She
has ever guarded jealousy the liberty of her cIti-
zens, and trust ever will. We cannot falter now
without disgrace and dshOnor. Whatever action
we may take let US be careful of the rights of 9TH
ers but faithful to trusts, that we may return
them TO our constituents numpaired.
Speaker Phelps, in his remarks to the House, ut
tered substantially the same sentiments.

ALBANY, Jan. 1.-The Legislature met at Il clock
this morning.
The Governor in his message in relation 10 nation
al affairs says that in his opinion secession dis
union, and disGnlon. it shall take form
and propOrliOn Is treason, which it will be the duty
of the General Government to assert AMI punish.
To permit aCq0iesce in reasonable conspiracy
against the national authorities is confess that our
Government is an absolute failure. The people OF
New York are not prepared for any such admission
and, in The enforcement of the laws will give their
earnest, faithful and constant support. New York
does not ask does she desire restoration of the
Missouri Compromise line. After a full and free
discussion her people have decided against the ex-
tension of slavery into any Of the Territories and
this they regard final disposition of that ques
ton till revoked by the same authority. Ever
ready, nevertheless she has proved herself to be
heretofore. New York will in all honorable ways,
endeavOr to reconcile the arrangements now exist
ing il the country. The action of a magnanimous
and loyal State should be patient calm concillatory
and fraternal, without the surrender of important
rights or the sacrifice of vital principles.
Gov. Morgan recommends the repeal of the so
called Personal Liberty Law, although it is entirely
imperative and without any disposition to inter
fere, he respectfully invites all States that have
laws of this character conflicting with the Federal
Constitution to repeal them. He thinks it would be
well for the Legislature of the State of New York
to give solemn assurances to the Southern States
that all Of their rights under the Constitution and
the laws recognized and will the part of this
State, be respected and maintained invioable.
