THE NEW YORK RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were recently
adopted in the New York Legislature by a
strict party vote; ayes 75, republicans nays
90 copperheads:
Resolved, That it is our mature and de-
hberate conviction that no State within which
there has been insubordination or rebellion
should be admitted to share in the national
legislation until it presents itself, not only in
an attitude of loyalty and harmony, but in the
persons of representatives whose loyalty can
not be questioned, and that each House of
Congress is the sole Judge OF the qualifca
tions and election of its members, and has
full power to determine for itself when the
constituency or the representatives meet the
conditions aboye set forth.
Resolved. That we are in favor Of the
extension of equal suffrage in the District of
Columbia to all male citizens of suitable
age"

OF reducing the negroes to slavery again.
An lrishman who is an English tory land
that is no Irish BULL for England is full OF
just such Irishmen,) is the very last man in
the world, and with eyes the most awry in
the world, to see the merits and dement's of
teniana, accurately. There is Cornelius
O'Dowd in Blackwood's Magazine. Never
was better tory born on Irish SOIL or En-
glish either, for the matter of that. To hug
the shadow of an intangible something
yclept the English Constitution and searched
for through the glasses of the Stuarts and
and two dead centuries to view Lord North
as the prince of prime Minister'S and not be
able to get beyond his names for a model; to
indulge ia invectives against Bright. Foster
and Mill TO carp at the present and vet de-
nounee all reform for the future; to carica-
ture Brother Jonathan TO snarl al France
and Napoleon. and yet sit effetely still and
see the Empire expanding as the first of
European powers to bolster up an aristoc.
racy and a conservatism that are the bane Of
the English administration, and that are
breeding an irrepressible conflict between
popular liberty aud aristocracy that will vet
conyulse that nation-ths is to be tory.
Cornelius is ever ready with his sneer at the
English liberals and the United States.
Well, Cornelius writes of The Two Rebel
lions the Jamaican and the Fenian-and
70 him the struggles are only the ambition of
"Sambo and Paddy to lead lives of indo
lence and complaining. They want to get
out from under the divine edict of life and
live without labor, andthey complain, Sambo
because he IS black, and Paddy because he is
Irish. Further, says the astute O'Dowd.
ASK for something you cant get is the
next grand rule in politics. The Irish
man and the Negro did this. They protested
each of them that they were far better and
more enlightened than the world generally
believed them to be ! and just as the liberty
OF the press is 50 inexpressibly dear to that
interesting section Of society that can't read
these people saw a number Of privileges that
they thought would suit them admirably if
they could only get them. From complain
Ing they went on to conspiring Neither had
any very definite subject to allege as hard
ship. 1t was general sense Of matoise
rather than regular disease that affected
them" Thus the phlosophic Cornelius Oh
the Irish question. He proves his Hibernian
genuineness, however, by claiming that the
hanging and fogging of the Jamaica blacks
were right, but that the banishment of the
Fenians is excessive punishment.

We publish to-day Mr.. Wilson'S speech in
favor of the Civil Rights bill The bill was
reported in order fully to secure the benefits
of the amendment of the Constitution abol.
ishiug slavery, and its design is to protect the
negroes in all the States Of the Union in tbe
enjoyment simply of the rights which that
class of ctizens already have secured to them
under the Constitution and laws of the State
of Iowa. The bill passed through the House
by a vote of l09 to lS and as it has already
passed the Senate we trust that it may soon
become the law Of the land tits clearly Just
in itself, aud essential to secure the negroes
of the South the boon of liberty proclaimed
by President Lincoln in the emancipation
proclamation, and we can see no reason why
any one should oppose it, who is not in favor
of reducing the negroes to slavery again,

The Universal Dryer or Woman's Friend
is being introduced in this State by the in--
ventor. Its simplicity OF construction and
great utility fully recommends 1t to public
favor. The whole Dryer forms a square Of
but six feet, and contains 240 feet Of clothes
line, where clothes win dry pure and white
in from 30 to go minutes. On removing the
clothes lines, and inserting fruit cases, 4S0
square feet of fruit drying surface Is form
ed, accommodating 80 bushels of green
fruitat drying, which may be dried in the
most perfect and speedy manner, without
moving either fruit or drawers until the
whole is completely dried, every part dry
ing equally without any possibility of
scorching. Over the furnace Is q large
wash boiler and pan, capable of heating II
smoothing irons at time. A IL foot shed
room forms perfect laundry, where the
washing, drying and ironing may be done
in any kind of stormy weather. without
any person outside knowing what is going
on. ''' 'A
Those wishing to realize much on light
investments would do well to call on the
inventor and secure State or County rights
as this invention must speedily come in
general use. q -
