The firet, and we think the most necessary step, is the repeal of the objectionable atatutes we have before adverted to. We may then rightfully assume the attitude to which we lay claim, of being a consistent member of this great confederation. New York should not allow Pennsylvania to lead the way in the restoration of harmony and peaco. It is proper im us to use these remaiks now, that our friends and the friends of the Union in the Southern States, who are now battling against disunion, may know that our city is sound, and means to do her whole duty to them and to herself. Some farther decisive action is necessary upon our part, _QBAUNTT"S MINBTRELA, Moshanteg Wa, (71 Devedweg LB, Follows’ Musleal Gall, Mo. 64d News from Europe. ‘Two steamers, the Arctic and Humboldt, are due ‘wt this port, with four days laternews from Europe, ‘The Arctic comes from Liverpool, and the Humboldt from Southampton.

It will be reen that the elections to the State Legisla- ture of Alabama have resulted in favor of the Union party. There is very little doubt but that the democratic candidate for Governor, .o Kentucky, has been elected. Inall the congres- sional districts heard from in Indiana, demoer: tic candidateshave been elected, except the Fourth. The Legislature is democratic in both branches, by alarge majority. jedge from the partial returns received, the elec- tion bas resulted in favor of the whi Campbell is probably elected Governor of the State. Hart- ford has been visited by a dreadful tornado, aud much damage done. More murders and suicides are reported in New England. The Democratic State Convention in Ohio has made the nomina- tions for State officers, and endorsed the new cvn- stitution. Theauthorities in Baltimore are rigidly enforcing the passenger law, and several vessels have been libelied. | The Necessities and Daties of our Situation | as a State. No one who is not resolutely blinded to every | consideration which can address itself to the human understanding, will be prepared to defend any act which bas, or may be, performed by any State, great or small, that bears upon its face any feature ef defiance and hostility to the laws of the United Statee, which hare been enacted within the spirit and provieions of the federal constitution; for, what- ever may be said to the contrary, the Union has | been the offspring of the constitution of the United States—of the value of that instrument we have mothing, therefore, to say. He that would suggest the remodelling of that compact, would be as well employed in remaking the earth, or organizing anew the solar rystem. However the various idiosya- eracies of men may deform truth and patriotism, we are ready to declare, without hesitation, that Patriotism and du'y are alike faithfully served, whilst men-who are citizens of this country sternly d@o that which the constitution and the laws of the eountry require. The Fugitive Slave law has been enacted by the highest authority known to our form of government. It has been subjected to the highest legsl criticiems and examinations. It has been declared by every tribunal to be constitutional. It has been executed in this greet commerelal metropolis in the face of day, upon an occasion and ina form that defied openiy and unqualifedly the opposition of those who were prepared to question its obligations. We wore In Tennessee, as far as we can | as a city and State, to dethrone the monster dis- ‘union, and to strike down that treasonable spirit which has too long furnished fuel for the dissatis- fied and reckless in the North and at the South. Ask @ citizen of the South, are you not sutisfied with our determination to see the laws executed— has not Henry Long been returned? and he will at once point to the statutes existing in New York, and reply, that we cannot know you except asa State, and in that form, you wear the appearance of open defiance and undisguised hostility to the | laws of the country. We should remove this weapon | of strife—we should take of this very objectiona- | ble costume. But if it were not objectionable, if no reference were ever made to the subject—to re- | move every obstacle from the execution of the law, | is a duty we owe ourselves, as well as to the officers | of the federal government. If action were taken upon this subject now, by our business men aad | merchants, it would go far towards strengthening and encouraging the friends of union in the other States, and render those who are disposed to con- tinue their liberal patronage towards our city, more satisfied and contented in the pursuit of their avo- cations. We have observed, with some consern, the various efforts now making throughout the Southern States, to turn away the trade aad commerce which | bas centered in New York for the last quarter of a century. Great as are our advantages in location— powerful as eur position is by the concentration of capital, and the various combined facilities that | exist in New York, of a commercial character, yet we may have cauee to regret it, if the various meatures now being devised in the Southern States, are not fructrated by new and conciliatory action upon our part. We know of large and powerful associations throughout almost all of the Southern States, whose purposes and objects are all tending to the seme end, of a diversion and cutting offof our trade with the Southern States. We may not be prepared to admit that they ean, or ought, to be | successful; but we are nevertheless cognizant of the fact, that every package of goods imported directly inte the Southern States, isso much taken from us; and we are already advised that a determination is | being manifested by large numbers of the best and wealthiest classes inthe Southern States, to live more at home than they have hitherto done, aud not educate their children at the’ North, and to for. bear the use of all Northern fabrics that they cando without. But be that as it may, todo our daty to the laws and constitution of the United States—to remove a stain upon oar escutcheon, is an act which we should willingly perform. Of all the actions of mar—of all the various causes of human happiness— of all the means of influence and power to be exer- cised by @ State or a people, no rule ef action can #0 fully and completely commend itself to the entrintio and GU VE Se UIRCCEDy mut erOry Ovl dition, as to do right because it is right. We call upon our business men of all grades, upon our agri- culturists in every quarter of the State, and upon our artisans and mechanics in every pursuit, to think upon this subject. We make no reference to the unruly and wicked portion of this great State, but we are content to leave these various suggestions to the law-abiding and law-loving. We are prepared to multiply evidence upon evi- dence, so as to disarm the most incredulous, of our devotion and attachment to the Union; and more, gratified at the evidence thus furnished of the loy- alty of our citizens. We were prepared to hope | that such an eccurrence would have quieted the fears, and silenced the forebodings, of the citizens of ‘the Southern States. We are reminded by them of the existence.of various statutes enacted by the Legislature of New York, which are in conflict with the Fugitive Slave law. We are seasible of the unpatriotic attitude, as citizens of the Stateand as amember of the Union, that our State occupies upon this subject. We do not mean to discuss those statutes; but it is useful to our object to state that they are wholly and entirely destitute of any berefit to the fugitive slave. pletely inoperative as any check or hindrance to the claimant of 2 fugitive slave. They are, how- ever, an evidence of treachery to the other States. They furnish a cause of compiaint aad a ground of objection to that warm and genial friendship which ‘we ought to take pride in cultivatiog. We, there- fore, put it to the candor and to the impartiality of every patriot, and ask whether it is not a duty we owe to ibe rest of the Statee—to the government of the United States—to the memories of the fa thers of the Kepublic—to our own self-respect, aud to our consciences, to repeal all of our svatutes con- flicting with the Fugitive Slave law, that we may, as far as possible, contribute to the healing of that sectional feud that has brought us to the brink of disunion ! Humanity bas sever furnished so pleasing and fatisfactory an evidence of the capacity of the people for self-government, as that which wo have witnessed under the constitutions —State and federal now have. Our prospects for th» future are darkened by come clouds that now hang upon our Borizon, No man can contemplate our unex ampled progress, without feelings of satisfac pride. We began our career in 1748, uodor our present constitution. Frightful periods, it is true, have been passed threugh ; not ove has beea over. come withort the exhibition of great and admirable forbearance on the part of those having tue power. ‘We may question if, in any form of government, these has ever been found the unflinching and ele vated regard for justice and duty which, in every period of difficulty, has been fouod among the peopleand States of the American (sion The powers af the general government are few and sim. ple. Its capacities are, however, ample for the eecurity of persons and property, in a national point ot view. The surrender of these powers, for purely Bational pucposae, was, in the outeet, @ tribute to the Union, and was an act on the part of the old | fDi. nese | going en thirteen States, im which patriotiam and phijaa- thropy hada most important duty to perform ; that duty was accompanied by a wisdom end sagacity embich put to shame all the performances that ren- dh t the history of man remarkable Out of the exe, *cise of the best capacities grew up our present form of government.

They are heigtened and rendered most alarming by the seme of in, *wtice and wrong with which the action of some of the’ States is regarded by others.

Up, | then, and to the repeal of these statutes isthe true | course. We shall, hereafter, desiguate these sta | tutes, and the objectionable features in them. Tae Prestpent’s Tove to rue Warre Sunravr Sprrings—Vineinia Porirics.—From all aecounts, | President Fillmore has been enjoying a very good time of his jourmey up the valley of Virginia to | the far-famed White Sulphur Springs, among tho mountains of Greenbriar. It appears that he has studiously avoided all epeech making, so as to os capeclear of the charge of travelling for election- | eering purposes, a charge which the democratic or- | test mam. as being wore largely in the busaess than any | In consequence of the demand for tickets from the | Capta: country, and the great number of people from the | neighboring cities who intend availing thomselves | of the excursion trains, to attend the jabilee, only acertain number of tickets have been reserved for | the city, and we would, therefore, advise those who | wish to secure eligible seats to purchase tickets as | soon as possible. They will be found at the principal hotels and music stores in Broadway. ‘Twe Sreampoars on Lake Ovrario—While the steamboats between New York and other places on — the North River, on Long Island Sound, and the neighboring States, are attracting much attention, } from time to time, the steamboats on Lake Ontario seem to demand some recognition of their merits. | There is a joint stock enterprise, called the Ontarlo | and St. Lawrence Steamboat Company, which has | a line of steamers plying between Lewiston, near | Niagara Falls, and Montreal. There are ten boats — in the whole; and a new one is now on the stocks at French’s Bay, as we have been informed. Three of the boats, which run between Lewiston and Og- | densburg, touch at Rochester, Oswego, Sacketts | Harbor, Kingston and intermediate points on tre St. Lawrence, makiog the accommodation to thuse | who are on their summer travels very acceptable, — and giving them an oppurtunity of seeing the thou- sand islands of the St. Lawrence river by dayligat | —one of the most enchanting scenes in North Ame- | rica. These three boats are the Northerner, the Ontario, and the Bay State. The latter is a speci- | men of the whole, as we have been informed; and it is due to the enterprise of the company to say that a more clean, comfortable, and elegant boat seldom floats on American waters. Besides these boats, the company run an express line direct between Montreal and Lewiston. The | Cataract and the Niagara are two of the boats en- gaged in this part of the enterprise, and they are well supported by the public. Though the company have only the summer months in which to reap a harvest, yet they declared a dividend of 20 per cent on their capital steck last season, and pronise to | be even better rewarded during their present one. | The opening of the Erie Railroad to Dunkirk | turns much of the travel towards that point; tourists pass over to Buffalo, thence to Niagara Falls and Lewiston, and thence coast aloug the shores of Lake Ontario to the beautiful swaes of | the St. Lawrence. From this poiut the descent by Lake Champlain and the railroad’ «0 New York is easy, and a more agreeable trip cannot be found ia | our northern regions. It «may be shortened, how- ever, and agreeably, by passing frem the Erie Railroad to Oswego. One thing, however, is cer- tain, that the increase of railroads has made the steam navigation of Lake Ontario a subject of sme / importance, as large numbers of paseeagers are dis ported to pass along from pit to point on its boau- tiful waters. The «trance of the Genesee river, near [ioekeocer, by these boats, commanded as they are by most skilful officers. is one of the finest | scenes a traveller ever beheld. The river is ex seed- ingly varrow and picturesque, and, by moanlight, is @ most romantic place.

MEETING OF EMIGRANT PORWARDERS, RUNNERS, AND BOARDING HOUSE KEEPERS. Last evening. a meeting of the emigrant forwarders, runners, and boarding house keepers, was held at the | Broad street House, Mr. G. W. Daly in the chair. There | | appeared to be a misunderstanding about the office of President, ono 'y contending that Mr, Daily was ob- jeotional le as President, having been so much before the — public, while another party and the larger one, insisted | upon having him aloue—tirst, becaue he had been foirly elected, snd secondly. because they thouglt him the fit- other, The candidate of the opposition party was Mr. | Williem Miner. Mr. Daly appeared to have nearly all the Germane on bis side, and it was stated that some of | them in voting for bim. had voted six times on the last | night of meeting. A German demanded the proof ganat Washington has already preferred, But we sce no good reason why the President, in going among the people, should not give | them a talk upon his stewardship, when called | upon by the gas” to do so, witnout | being particularly mealy-mouthed about it. But there is an important election to come off in Vir- giuia, which inéludes the choice of fifteen members of Congress. It is expected, also, that the admin- tration will have oue or two candidates before the Whig National Convention, for nomination, as | will be one of them, there is every reason to sap- pose.
