From 1780 to 1847, a period of sixty-seven years, Pennsylvania, herself a free State, permitted the citizens of other States to sojourn within her limits, with their slaves, for any period not exceeding six months, and to pass through the State, in traveling from one State to another, free from all molestation.--Was she injured, or was the cause of human freedom retarded by the friendly grant of this privilege?

In relation to a settlement of the National troubles, the Governor says: May we not wisely follow the example of our fathers, by re-enacting the old Compromise line of 1820, and extending it to the boundary of California? Not by the means of legislation of doubtful constitutionality, but by an amendment to the Constitution itself, and thus permanently fix the condition of the Territories, so that those who desire to on Federal relations. It opposes the right of secession. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise is held up as the root from which sprung all our present evils. The message concludes thus: Not desiring the adoption of the Missouri line, in 1820, and opposing, with almost solid front, the weight of her influence to the repeal in 1854, this State does not ask, nor does she desire, the restoration of that line. After full and free discussion, her people have declared against the extension

and loyal State, in such an exigency, may well forego the question whether assumed grievances are real or only imaginary; but while her action should be marked by patience, calmness, conciliation and fraternal affection, there should be no surrender of important rights, nor sacrifice of vital principles. It is equally clear she should not insist on points of pride, or on more abstraction. Though brought forward under misapprehension, one such grievance is alleged against this State. In 1840, conformably to the general opinion of that day, the Legislature passed a statute granting a trial by jury, in the Courts of this State, to persons charged as being fugitives from service. Afterwards, the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Prigg against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, decided that all State laws, even though subordinate to the Federal enactments, and favorable to the extradition of fugitives, were inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, and

of a sentinel and brush through a crowd of military men in attendance, and are ushered into the Executive presence. The first thing that strikes the eye is a dais or rostrum, in appearance something like the reading desk of a church, only it is covered with dark red velvet and bestrewn with papers, inkstands and pens. The Private Secretary of the Governor occupied it when I was first admitted into the apartment and he was as busy as all the rest, writing. Above this desk is a bust of Calhoun, and leaning against the wall below it is a dozen or more of long, black ebony rods, with old heads, which I am told are used on State occasions by high functionaries. They are chiefly carried in the hand when processions are moving, and belong, I believe, to the Aldermen and Mayor of the city. The entire room is richly furnished, and is of large dimensions. At this time it was in much confusion, owing to the great amount of business transacted. All around the walls rich pictures, p

tional injunction, were valid and proper. And this minority opinion is now the judgment of the present Court, as recently indicated in a case which arose in the State of Illinois. There is, therefore, nothing to prevent the revival of the act of 1826 and its restoration to the place in our code to which by its merits it is so justly entitled. This would leave to the option of the claimant whether he would seek his remedy under State or National laws. He had this right before the repeal of our act of 1826, and, in my opinion, no good reason can be assigned for refusing to place him again in the same position. I would also recommend that the consent of the State be given that the master, while sojourning in our State, for a limited period, or passing through it, may be accompanied by his slave, without losing his right to his services. While such legislation is due to the comity which should ever exist between the different States of this Union, it would undoubtedly tend great

by the wisdom of man. Message of the Governor of New York. After referring to State affairs, Gov. Morgan's message to the New York Legislature touches on Federal relations. It opposes the right of secession. The repeal of the Missouri Compromise is held up as the root from which sprung all our present evils. The message concludes thus: Not desiring the adoption of the Missouri line, in 1820, and opposing, with almost solid front, the weight of her influence to the repeal in 1854, this State does not ask, nor does she desire, the restoration of that line. After full and free discussion, her people have declared against the extension of slavery into any of the Territories, and this they regard as a disposition of that question until revoked by the same authority. Ever ready, nevertheless, as she has proved herself heretofore, New York will, in all honorable ways, endeavor to reconcile the estrangements now existing in the country.
