Address and Resolutions of the Democratic Memoers of the Legislature of New York to the Democratic Klectors of the State of New York, mado and adopted in Caucus, April L2th, 1848, Fe.tow Crrizens—In pursuance ef «@ time-honored and wuil approved custom. the democratic members of the Legislaturo, before their final adjournment, ask leave toaddrees their democratic fellow citizens througiout the State.

Taoy are confident that the democracy ofthe State will eee in this, simply an act which was expected at their hands, anu whioh it would have been a dereliction of duty in them to have omitted; nor can they doubt that the attachment of the party to its regular routine of nomination heretofore observed, wiil rise above the whinings of factious discontent, which may seek to raiso a doubt aa to the regularity of the convention * . . .

Held at mid-winter, there were, nevertheless, but three counties in the whole State, unrepresented, and which the ful! delega- tion which attended, gives the best evidence of the con- fidence of the democracy in its regularity; and its puo- lished proceedings give the best ovidence of its wisdom and political soundu ‘We cannot refrain from adding ‘an expression of 01 tire conviction of the propriety of its inception, and the excellence of its conciucions. emblage appointed a delegation of thirty-six membera to attond the convention to be held in May next, at Baltimore, for the nomination of President and Vice President of the United States ;—and whatever state of things may be thore presented, they will but il zesent position of the demooratic party in this jaime the serious consideration of all thore wio y attachment to ite principles, or concern for their perpetuity Weentered into the political canvass of 1844 united in our principles, under jeaders whose lives commended them to our confidence. ‘Ihe rerult was tho election of didaten for the offices of Governor and Lieutenant large majoriiy in both branches of the Teapectavlo 1asjority of the congressional delegation ; and if anything further were wanting to show our proper organ’ d great eflicteney {it was furnished in the fact that we Reve * mejority of rome nix thousand for the present national executive.

That it was deemed advisable by the administration at Washington to remodel the democratic partyin this State, by changing its direction. without impairing its efficiency, is made apparent by the neglect of those who enjoyed the idence of the democracy, and by the towal of it@batronage upon such fave reaaived if any, marks of popular favor hasbeen eminently unsuccessful, the m hirelings Gullated for this purpose, most coneluaively shows.

[The address then. proceeds to discuss the question of tho if and the -treasuty, as democratic principles carried out by the democracy. It then goes on to con- gratulate tho democrasy upon the prospect of poace with Mextoo, taking an enlightened view of our past and present relations with that republic. It then goes on to It appears to be conceded upon all bands, that when- ever peace may take place, one of its conditions is ne- cessarily to be, the cession of territory by Mexico to the United States. Such territory, whatever its extent may be. is now4reo from the pollution of slavery; and the questions which will arise by its eequisition will ba, whether the mere act of osssion to the United States of America, by the grace of God free and iadependent, changes it from a land of freemen toa land of slaves? And if not, whether such change should be made by any fe autect act of the national legislature? The subject of excluding slavery from territories of the United States, where it does not now exist, has for some time past engaged the attention of the people of this country; and the present Logislaturo has instructed the Senators, and requested tho representatives of this State in Congress, to procure, if possible, the insertion of a provision securing this object, in any act which may bo passed by Congress for the erection of a terri- torlal government. The porition of the republicans of this State was cor- rectly defined atthe rec. nt democratic convention, held at Utica, in purguance ‘of estabilshed usage, to send thirty-six delegates to repreeent this State in a National convention for the nomination of democratic candi dates ;for the cflices of Prosident and vice-President of the United States, ‘These positions, were first: That the principle of the ordinance of 1787, by which the institution of slavery was excluded irom all the unsettled territories then owned by the United States (whether derived from slave or free States) should be applicd to Oregon, and such portions cf Mexico as may be ceded to the United States, whenever, im pursuance of the invariable usages of the federal government, territorial governments are established for them by Congross; and second:—That sansible of the difficulty of maintaining the organization of the republican party of the Union, as it has hitherto existed, it those who take different sides on this exciting question should insist upon a declared conformity, to their respective opinions on the part of the candidates for the Presidency, the democracy of New York had never made this a test question, and felt called upon to ap- prise their Southern brethren who persisted in doing ‘So, what would be the inevitable effect of such action. In the justness and liberality of these positions, it might well bh: een belie’ true democrats in all sec, tions of the Union could cordially concur. And although the views of the Utica convention, ex- pressed with marked moderation anda commendable Regard for the feelings of our soutbern brethren, ived the publicity to which we supposed them y principle of justies and fair dealing, ro attracted » considerable sbare of pub- d met with a reception as un- expected to us as it was undeserved Ths demoo of Alabama have since assembled in State convention for the purpcse of sendin; the same national convention; they hat lution ly denying the power of Congress, people ef the territory, either by direct legislation or Unreugh the action of a territorial legisiature, to prohibit the introduction of slaves into territories now fe ad affirming that such probibition can only be m: y State constitution framed by tha people of the territory, preparat ory to their admission into the Unionas a State In the meantime they insist that those who choose to do 60, may rig'itfully settle ths territory in question with a slave population. Toenforce these positivus they pledge themselves to the country and to each other ua- der no political necessity whatever to support for the offices of President or Vice President any person who shall not be gpeely, and avowedly opposed to either of these forms of excluding slavery irom the territories of the United States, which they denounce in their resolutions as belug alike in violation of the constitution and of the just and equal rights of the oltizens of the slave-holding States. They also instruct and bind the dele- gates they srlect to the national convention to vote for no man, for either of those places, who will not unequivocally avow himself to be so opposed. The same positions have since beon re-aflirmed by tho democratic State convention in Virgiois, assembied to select delegates to the national convention And the proscribing decree against ail who will not come forward and subscribe the creed songht to be enforced, is referred to with apparent enthusiasm as “the noble resolutions of Alabama.’”’ Andthe democracy of Florida, one of tho youngest States in the Union, in selecting their dele- ional Convention, have, within a fow at least as exceptionabie, assumed simi- ounde, seeming determined that the democracy of w York should re-assert their principles, or forever by their silence. No reasons er convention to sustain the And tho people of the North vo thus not even been afforded, so for as we havo observed, the satisfaction of knowing the grounce | upon which ‘his ostracism has been pronounced Nay even the sensibility which we should expect to have found awakened by the supposea necessity for so abrupt a severance of sncient and honorable political ties, seems not to have been aroused in the least degree on the part of oid political associates, who have found themsely: forced to so harsh a termination of intercourse. ‘Wo shall leave them to judge, as they are abundantly able to do, what is the appropriate course for them to | yursue, Even now, wo are content that our Southern Riends shall stand fally justified, if we are unable to show the fairness snd constitutionality of the course ursued or advocated by the democrats of this State, f gard tothe entire subject of slavery. Vitally im- péttant ‘an is the exclusion of slavery from territory now do not desire it to be effected through the exer- of any doubtful power of the coustitution. The ders of the republic earnestly and actively desired fot the spread of slavery. We invite to our shores the children of labor and the votaries of liberty from every clime, by holding out to hs promise of equal participa’ mn ths blessings of free institutions receive accessions to our terri- 4 consent to their admission into our glorious Uai under the impression that the en- largement of our national boundary is but another term for an extension of the ares of freedom. If this bs a delusion, as it is if these acquisitions be made the abode of slavery, good faith demands that the de! be ackno be- led, ‘We have acted upon t tution made ample ovision for the adoption of every measure that might Cretane necessary to seoure the true happiness of ail tho te institutions th, le that shouid seek a shelter und to which our glorious revolution ga Amongst the first and greatest of these, is tho seouring to the white laborer a home and an honorable station in all tke free territories that the United Staten may pos- seas Or acquire. To do this, we believe it indispensadle thet black slaves shall bo excladed there!rom ; and we ontertsin no doubt that this object can be properly and constitutionally effsoted in the mode we have Instructed our Senators and requested our representatives to pur- sue. We can well concrive that honest men may havo doubted the policy of seeking the accowplisyment of th's object by attaching s proviso to « bill appropriating mo- ney for the purchase of territory, or by its insertion ia @ treaty by which such purchase was effected. They might supporo that in either of theso modes the great object of extending our territory would be embarrassed, whilst the greater obj+ct of extending freedom could be otherwise secured. We know, (oo, thet & cover wes thus furnished to the felse-hearted men of the North, who operated upow by federal patronage and a factious desire to prostrate the just influence of our State, under whioh, witnout directly meeting the great question of freedom iteolf, they might shelter themselves by the pre- tence that the one provision was an unnecersary abstrac- tion, bsoause new territory might not be acquired, and that the other was unattainable, because no treaty con- taining it could secure a ratifisntion. We can, therefors, well appreciste the ooncilistory disposition wuich indu: | ced the democrats assombled at Herkimer eo far to | modify their position on this sutj+ot as simply to in. | sist upon a guaranty that the territory of the United States then free should remain so until its inhabitants fs State constitution for themselves; leaving to inhabitants entire liberty at such time to choose ‘eadom or slavery.

But the reference we have proceedings of Al mn pronot ype every other that did not concede the absolute it of the siavo holdor to settle with his slaves upon ‘The inventors and advocates of this theory,there- ‘ting @ condescension which would in a good cause, have not eure the favor of our southern brethren, but hi been unable to protect themselves, y more than we have bi able, from political ostra- m.

The assertion, then, of ® want of constitutional power in Congress to prohibit tho original establishment of slavery in territories now nei ia the last ontrenchment of the propagandism of slavery. {The addross then onters into into long and elabo rate examination of the doctrine, that Congress bas no! power over ths question of slavery in new terri and contends for the principle that Congress has, always had, the power to exclude slavery from new ter- ritorios, going over the whole history of the constitution and acta of Congress, with the ons of the founders of the constitution, and of all the great men of the coun- try, showing that Mr. Jefferson himself introduced a proviro, in the shape of a resolution, identical in sub- stance and spirit with the Wilmot proviso, in referense tothe North Wentern territory, aad that it was ap- roved and acted upon by the South as well asthe forth. | It then goes on to say:) May we not safely challenge an examination of our public archives for ® more solemn recognition of any one principle than is here exhibited, of what we contend for? What isit? 1st. A series of acts of Congress em- bracing tho principle passed at short intervals during the last fifty years, approved by Presidente Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, and Van Buren; acts to which it would have been their sworn duty to object if they had doubted their constitutionali- ty. 2d. Acta of @ character not less solemn than that of organising the government, presoribing the rights and duties personal and politieal; regulating the e1 theie desoent and the manner of disposing of them—of the inhabitants of eleven territories, nine of which have actually become States and members of the con! f and the remaining two are virtually such. 34. Acts fn six of which, including the provision fer Ohio, ‘the existence of slavery in tho territories was probibited expressly and forever, and in all of which, with one exception, express enactments were made, equally asserting the constitutional power in Con- n lsgislative control over slavery in the territories. Yet strange to ssy, notwithstanding this array of au- thority derived frow the clear language of the constitu- tion, is harmony with similar provisions, in pespeet to which there has never been any dispute, and with the own dispositions of its powers on the subject of sla- very, the confirmation which the construction we give to it had derived from contemporaneous expositions—the opinions of our writers uj public law, and the solemn decisions of our highest judicial tribunals, all sustsined by an exercise of the power which in point either cf the solemnity of the acts, general acquiescence, # lovg dura- tion, is without a prarailel in our history, xistence of this power is {now denied. Ney more, that dental is made by our southern anacciates in polftics @ basis of a proscription of their political brethrea at the north; as despotic as it is uojust. (After showing the liberal conduct of the nothern de- mocracy towards their southern brethren, and that in ath and its pecallar institutions, they nd even much farther than aght was right and just, the ad. to this aupport, says :)— It is under these clroumstances and with’such claims upon the forbearance and the justice, not to say the gra- titude of the South, that we are called upon to assume the extraordinary and untensble pesition which we have discussed We ara ‘called upon to deny the titutional power of Congress to prevent or prohibit ery in any territory which is or may come within the fjurisdiction of the f-deral government ; to ‘den: equally the constitutionsl power of the people of such tory, while in @ territories! condition, to Lyra ery, and to assert tho constitutional right of an: to go into such territory and hold uaily as he can do in any Stato where exprersly authorized by law. Farther, hi dy shown, the doctrii not be corrled without di troy ing the foundati Ty iteefev This doctrine has b:en deliberately adupted by the demo- cratic conventions of Virgizia, Aisbame and Florida, aud in many other forms, by our Soutuern brethren; and the democracy of the North axe culled upen also to adopt it, and make {t a part of their pol.tical creed, wud an oie ment of their issus with their political oppouentain crt own localities. We are cabled upow to rept constitutional the power of Congress over the ter: to ries, which hoa been exercised from the very foundatio! of the government, and under all administrations. Wo are called upon to deny all power in Congress which bas the government of the territories, and in the people of the territories, to prohibit slavery, but to affirm the pow- er of any one individual to establish it within the terri- ry. NO man is compelicd to, hold slayes,even where sla- very is expressly authorised by law, ond if any man who chooses to do #0, can hold slaves in territories, slavery is | jast ae"much established there as in the States where it is upheld by positive enactments. ‘The doctrine, therefore, when plainly stated, that wherever the flag of the Union goes, it carries slavery with it, overturns the looal institutions, no matter how strongly entrenched in the legislation, habits, and affec- eople, if freedom be their fortunate oon- tion of the dition, an in its place slavery; it repeals the local , if they assure personal freedom to all, and suthoriaes slavery. This doc- trine we are required to adopt and advocate— no where found in tne constitution, repugnant to its spirit, and abhorrent as we havo shown it to be tothe principles and convictions of the illustrious men who framedit, We are called upon to interpolate this new upon thi titution as a sort of mystical com- w, not expressed, not implied, in any particular to be inferred from the general nature of that Weare calied upon to do so by our ancient friends and alli ith whom we havo been long associ- in the ties of political bro‘hewhood, and for whom we have often made great efforts and secrifices, and periled our potitical existence at home. We are called todo so under the menace of political disfrenchise- ment and degradation, if we refuse at once to believe. or profess to believe, this new and startling doctrine. We old that po one who does not make such professions tical action and sup- tes can control the re- sult, to recoive the bighest honors of the republic— that our ancient and intimate associstion shall exist only for the parpore of allowing us to vote for canditates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency who hold their opinions and repudiate ours on this great question, but that it shall not exist for the purpose of allowing us to no . oF vote for, or elect, a Pre~ sident or Vico President, who shares with us our convictions, no matter if a majority of the pt agree with us; and that our Southera associates w! , under no political necessity whatever, support any man who entertains the opinions which have with unexampled unanimity been expressed by the conventions and legis- lative assemblies of nearly all ¢ ‘orthern States. The democracy of New York are wholly wawillirg to believe thatthe upkind, ungenerous, and ‘ungrateful proceedings, which it hus been our painfal duty to ex- pore, emanated from the democratic massoe of the South. The high opinion we have ever cherished of their libera- lity and justice, at well as the haliowed reooliection of a long coutiaued, useful and bono: is political assocta- tion, forbid it, | Were it otherwise, wo should be obliged now to regard that connection as forever dissolved how- ever painful might be this indispsneabdle act of selt- poct. We preter co believe that the extraordinary pretenc we hsve discussed, israther an excrescence which hes sptung from tho stroggles of party leaders af the South, fr loctl ascendancy, snd through its influence, for the control of federal polities. It is well known that # schism aroce in the demcoratic ranks at the South to- wards tho close of Mr. Madison’s administration, was continued throvgh that of Mr Monroe, aud still exists in almost every Southern State. Nor can it have been forgotten to what extent one of the sections which that rchism produced, sought to influence the North by holding up to them the tempting lures ofa Bank of the United States; ‘uternal improvements the goneral government, upon & gigantic scale; ant may we not add, # protective tariff, and every other scheme which a latitudinarian construction of the oon- stitution would allow, and which might tempt the cupl- dity of » thriving commercial population.
