of this State are unfavorable to the execution of iei ve 'lave law, and the discharge of their the ej ,4.tyrate duties, and with the view of re s this subject of reproach, I earnestly re their unconditional repeal. c l i Lite a majority of judges of the Supreme Dart I he Lnited States, in the Prigg case, ; t i l i t . at a State had no constitutional right to held by le- islation for delivering up fugi piS'ifrom labor, a minority were then of the t' e' ' 'on that State laws, consistent with, and in vd ca t, the constitutional injunction, were valid proper. And this minority opinion is now the jitdb .. m ent of the present court, as recently iie.ited in a case which arose in the State of There is, therefore, nothing to pre vent the revival of the act of 1826, and its res otion to the place in our code to which, by its m erits, it is so justly entitled. This would leave to the option of the claimant, whether he would seek hisis remedy under the State or Na tion d l a ws. He had this right before the re pea our act of 1826, and, in my opinion, no t e. ea reason can be assigned for refusing to place him armin in the same position. Ladd also recommend that the consent of the State be given, that the master, while so 'ourniug in our State, for a liniited period, or jeassing through it, may be accompanied by his ', loc . without losing his right to his service.— While such legislation is due to the comity w hich sh th ou ldis ever it Union, exist between undoubtedly he t different States of tend greatly to restore 'that peace and harmony, winch are not so unwisely imperiled. By it Pennsylvania would concede no principle—we would simply be falling back upon our ancient policy, adopted at a time when our people were themselves struggling for their rights, and never departed from, until, by a misconception of its meaning, one of our must important stat ties was declared unconstitutional. From 1780 to 1817 a period of sixty-seven years, Pennsyl vania, herself a free State, permitted . the citi zens of other States to sojourn within her lim its, with their slaves, for any period not ex ceeding six months, and to pass through the State, in traveling from one State to another, free Gem molestation. Was she injured, or was the cause of human freedom retarded, by the friendly grant of this' privilege ? This question cannot be truthfully answered in the affirmative ; but it may be safely averred, that by chancing our policy, in this respect, we have in some degree, at least, alienated from us the feelings of fraternal kindness, which bound together, so closely, the sisterhood of States. Let us, then, renew the pledge of am ity and friendship, and once more extend a kindly welcome to the citizens of our common country, whether visiting us on business or pleasure, notwithstanding they may be accom panied by those who, under the Constitution and the laws, are held to service and labor. The Territories of the United States belong to the General Government, and in those terri tories the people of the several States unques tionably have equal rights. They were acquir ed by means of the common expenditure of blood and treasure. By the Federal Constitu tion power is given to Congress "to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations re specting the territory and other property be longing to the United States." Whether under this, or any other power conferred by the Con stitution, Congress can prohibit or protect sla very in the territories, has been seriously ques tioned. But, if the power to legislate upon this delicate and important subject was clearly vested in Congress, in my judgement it ought not to be exercised. To declare that slavery shall not exist in the Territories, is calculated to exclude from their occupancy the citizens of the southern or slaveholding States ; while, to make it a legal institution in all the territories of the United States, by Congressional enact ment, and to provide for its continuance during their entire Territorial existence, would be equally injurious to the people of the free States. The principle adopted in the Compro mise measures of 1850, for disposing of the question of slavery in New Mexico and Utah, and reiterated in the Kansas and Nebraska bills of 1854, of non-intervention by Congress with slavery in the States and in the Territories, is the true rule. It is the duty of Congress, when a sufficient number of hardy and adventurous pioneers rind their way into our distant Terri tories, to furnish them a shield of protection and a form of government ; but to the people themselves belongs the right to regulate their own domestic institutions in then' • own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States While these views have been long entertain ed by me, and while I am sincerely of the opin ion that their general adoption, and faithful en forcement, would have preserved, and may yet restore, pence and harmony to all sections of our country, I am nevertheless not so wedded to them as to reject, unceremoniously, all other propositions for the settlement of the vexed questions which now threaten to sunder the bends which for three quarters of a century have made us one people. Forty years ago,our fathers settled an angry controversy growing out of a similar question, by dividing the Ter ritories purchased from France, and providing that slavery, or involuntary servitude, should not exist north of a certain line ; and the whole country acquiesced in that compromise. In 1854, that restriction upon slavery. was removed, and the people of all the Territories were left free to decide the question for themselves. Now the sectional issue is again presented, by the dominant party in the north, claiming that slavery cannot legally go into the Territories, even if sanctioned by Congress, or the Territo rial Legislature ;' and that it is the right and the duty of Congress to prohibit its existence. While the doctrine which obtains with a ma jority of the people in most of the southern States, is, that under the Constitution, the Ter ritories are all open to slavery ; that neither Congress nor the Territorial Legislature can lawfully prohibit its existence, and that it is the duty of Congress to provide for it all need ful protection, 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 memos of legislation of doubtful constitutionality, but IT an amendment to the Constitution itself, aid thus permanently fix the condition of the Territories , so that those who desire to occupy them, may find a home, at their discretion, either where slavery is tolerated, or where it is prohibited. If the adoption of such an amend ment would peacefully settle the difficulties which now surrotmd us, I am satisfied that it w ould be sanctioned by the people of Pennsyl -1111. At all events, they should have an op portunity to accept or reject it, if made as a Peace offering. I would, therefore, recommend the General Assembly to instruct and request our Senators and Representatives in Congress, to support a proposition for such an amend zue?it of the Constitution, to be submitted for ratification or rejection, to a convention of del egates, elected directly by the people of the State. In the event of the failure of Congress speedi ly to propose this or a similar amendment, to the Constitution, the citizens of Pennsylvania , should have an opportunity, by the application of some peaceable remedy, to prevent the dis-'membernient of this -Union. This can only be clone by calling a convention of delegates, to be elected by the people, with a view solely to the con sideration of what measures should be taken to meet the present fearful exigencies. If Congress should propose no remedy, let it emanate from the source of all authority, the people them selves. Every attempt, upon the part of individuals, or of organized societies, to lead the people away from their allegiance to the government, to in duce them to violate any of the provisions of the Constitution, or to incite insurrections in any of the States of this Union; ought to be prohibited by law, as crimes of a treasonable nature. It is of the fast importance to the perpetuity of this great Union, that the hearts of the people, and the action of their constituted authorities, should be in unison, in giving a faithful support to the Constitution of the United States. The people of Pennsylvania are devoted to the Union. They will follow its stars and its stripes through every peril. But, before assuming the high responsibilities now dimly foreshadowed, it is their solemn duty to remove every just cause of complaint against, themselves, so that they may stand before High Heaven, and the civilized world, without fear and without re proach, ready to devote their lives and their for tunes to the support of the best form of govern ment that has ever been devised by the wisdom of man. In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the State, I shall soon resign the office of Chief Executive of Pennsylvania, with which the people have entrusted me, to him whom they have chosen as my successor. I shall carry with me into the walks of private life, the consciousness of having honestly dis charged the duties that have devolved on me during the term of my office, to the best of my ability; and shall ever cherish the warmest af fection for, and the deepest interest in, the future welfare of our beloved Commonwealth and our glorious Republic. The shadow of a dark cloud does indeed rest upon us; but my hopes and my affections still cling to our Uniob, and my prayer shall be that He who orders the destioii s of nations, when He shall have chastened us for our sins, and humbled us before Him, will restore us again in mercy, and bind us together in stronger and more hallowed bonds of frater nity, to remain unbroken through all future time. WM. F. PACKER. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Harrisburg, January 2, 1861. Pennsylvania Legislature. SENATE TUESDAY, January 1, 1861 This being the day required by the Constitu tion for the meeting of the General Assembly of Pennsylvania, at 3 P. M., hir. PALMER, SPEAKER, called the Senate to order, there be ing a quorum of Senators present. The Secretary of the Commonwealth being introduced, presented the returns of the late elections, by which it appeared that the follow ing gentlemen were duly elected Senators of the several districts named. The roll of Senators being called, the folio w ing answered to their names: First District—Ph ilaclelphia—Jeremlah Nich ols. Chester and Delaware—Jacob S. Serrell _ . Carbon, Munroe, Pike and Wayne—Henry S. Mott. Berks—Hiester Clymer. Snyder, Northumberland, Montour and Co umbia—Franklin Bound. Dauphin and Lebanon—A. R. Boughter. Westmoreland and Fayette—Smith Fuller Lancaster—Wm. Hamilton and John A Hiestand. Washington and Greene—George V. Law rence. Lawrence, Mercer and Venango—James H Robinson. Somerset, Bedford and Huntingdon—S. S Wharton. All the Senators were present except Mr. M'- Clue. • The SPEAKER laid before the Senate a writ issued by hint durfng the interim to Jeremiah Bitting, Sheriff of the county of Berta ' direct ing a special election to be held for a Senator from that district in the place of BENJAMIN NUNEMACILEB., deceased. Laid on the table. The Chair was then vacated by the Speaker pro tem. Mr. WELSH. I now move that the Senate proceed to the election of Speaker, and that the Clerks act as tellers, Which was agreed to. The Senate then went into an election for Speaker which resulted as follows, viz : Messrs. Benson, Boughter, Bound Connell, Finney, Fuller, regg. Hall, Hamilton, Blest and, Imbrie, Irish, Ketcham, Landon, Law rence, Meredith, Nichols, Parker, Penney, Rob inson, Schindel, Serrell, Smith, Thompson, Wharton, Yardley-26 voted for ROBERT M. PALMER. Messrs. Blood, Clymer, Crawford, Mott, Pal mer, Welsh-6 voted for JEREMIAH SCHINDE.I. ROBERT M. PALMER having received 26 votes, and JEREMIAH SCHINDEL 6 votes, The tellers reported that they agreed in their tally, and that ROBERT M. PALMER was duly elected Speaker for the ensuing session. Messrs. GREGG and SCHINDEL - conducted the Speaker elect to toe Chair. Mr. PALMER, upon taking his seat s , address ed the Senate as follows : SENATORS: The duties of the position with which you have honored me are delicate arid important, and require for their pro per discharge a. more enlarged experience and higher qualifications than I can hope to bring to them, unless sustained and assisted by your kindness. So far as earnest effort and strict impartiality may suffice, I shall endeavor to justify your confidence. In enforcing successfully the rules of order, your co-operation will be indispenasble. One of the most wholesome and necessary of these rules, and the one perhaps"heretofore most fre quently violated, is that which protects the floor and rooms of the Senate, during its ses sions, from the intrusion of unauthorized per sons. I shall hope for your support in the en foreem ent of this rule, at least until the Senate shall see proper to modify or rescind it. The business of the session upon which we are about enterine, isjikely to pruve of a most interesting and important character. Indeed, were there nothing more than the ordinary course of legislation, affecting the vast interests of the great Commonwealth of nearly three millions of people which we represent, it could not be otherwise than interesting to all of us, and important to our constituents; but in the present threatening emergency in-our National affairs, the position of Pennsylvania, the great stake which she has in the Union, and the ' , age influence which she will doubtless exert upon the oftter States in the decision of the great National questions at issue, render the proceedings of the present Legislature of far more than usual gravity and consequence. On taking this Chair at the close of the last session, I took occasion, iu view of the then approaching Presidential electiolf, to say, that "no matter what party may succeed in electing the next President of the United States, or what candidate may be selected to fill the chair of Washington and Jefferson, there shall be no rebellion or cavil with her (Pennsylvania's) consent, against the fairly expressed will of the people, but the Constitution and the Union of the States under it, must be faithfully and in violably sustained and perpetuated." The result of that election has been ascer tained, and has been ;Dade the opportunity of attempted and threatened revolution and dis union on the part of some of the States which participated in it., but I cannot doubt that the sentiments which I expressed to you on that occasion, are still the sentiments of Pennsyl vania. The people of this State will never consent to disunion. It was upon our soil that the Declaration of American Independence was made, and the Constitution of the United States framed, and the Union which they secured cost our fathers too much blood and treasure, and has brought to us too many blessings and benefits, shared alike by all American citizens everywhere, for us ever to agree to surrender Every Principle of patriotism, and every consideration of interest—veneration for our fathers, regard for ourselves, love for our chil Pennovluania 3:Dalip Qttlegrapb, itlebnesbau 'Afternoon, 3annarg 2, 1861. dren, the present and future welfare of man kind, all join in solemn protest against the present attempts at the destruction of the Con stitution and the Union. It cannot, must not, shall not be, if Pennsylvania can prevent it, and this she will endeavor to do, if necessary, by all the means that God and nature have placed in her power. 'Applause.] But it has been alleged against Pennsylvania, by persons high in authority in our sister States, that there are laws on our statute books in de rogation of the Constitution of the United States, and of the acts of Congress passed in accordance with its provisions. If this be so, which I am not prepared to admit and do not believe, the country ought to know that it was not intentionally done. This great State has given sufficient proof by her acts In the time past, that she is conservative, law abiding, Union and Constitution-loving, to relieve her from any imputation of intentional in tringe ment of the Constitution, or wilful nullifica tion of Constitutional Congressional enact ment:=.l But let us be sore of our position, not only in intention, but in fact. I venture to suggest the hope that the whole body of our law bear ing upon the subject matter of complaint allu ded to, the rendition of fugitives held to labor or service in other States, will te referred to the committee on the Judiciary system, or to such other committee as the Senate may direct, and carefully examined and reported upon, and that if any jait cause of complaint exists, that it will be promptly removed. Pennsylvania is too just to be guilty of intentional injustice to other States, and too g eat, weakly to refuse to acknowledge and to rectify errot a in her leeisla thin, when pointed out to her and.her legisla ture made sensible of their t xistunce. And this without regard to what other States are doing or may do, not for fear of threats or conse quences, but cheerfully, freely and gladly, be cause she loves the Constitution, ordained "to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, prontote the gen eral welfare, and secure the ble ,, sings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." and desires to see it perpetuated in its integrity. SENATORS : Your attention will be necessarily called to these and other matters of the gravest importance, and never was there greater oc casion for the exetcise of the hlhest wisdom on your part, never greater necessit3 for assist ance from that higher than human Wisdom, to whom our fathers uniformly looked in their great emergencies. May we all be enlightened to a faithful, able and conscientious discharge of our whole duty. You will please designate a Senator to ad minister to me the official obligation required by the Constitution. Whereupon the SPEAKER designated Mr. SIIINDEL, who administered the oath of office to him. The SPEAKER then desired the new Sena tors elect to present themselves at the bar in order to take the oath of office. Mr'.

Mr. YARDLEY offered the following : That if the House of Representatives concur, the joint Rules of the last session for the govern ment of the two Houses be adopted for their government at the present session. Adopted. Mr. SMITH. I offer the following resolu tions ; and I would remark that their purport relates to the state of .the country. I wouid accompany the offering of the pieamble-and resolutions with the motion that they be refer red to a select committee of five. Mr. IVELSI:I called for the reading of the resolutions WHMEA£4, A Convention of Delegates now as sembled in the city of Charleston, in the State of South Carolina, did on the twentieth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty, adopt an ordinance en titled "An Ordinance to dissolve the Union be tween the State of South Carolina and other States united with her under the Constitution of the United States of America," whereby it is declared that the said Union is dissolved : And whereas, It becomes the duty of the peo ple of Pennsylvania, through their Representa tives in this General Assembly to make known what they consider to be the objects sought, and the obligations and duties imposed by the Constitution ; be it therefore Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representa tives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in Gen eral Assembly met, and it is htnby resolved.: - Ist.

This request was complied with ELEOTiON OF MESS They were as follows mote the general welfare and secure the bless ings of liberty to themselves and their posteri ty ; and if the people of any State in this Union are not in the full enjoyment of all the benefits intended to be secured to them by the said Constitution ; if their rights under it are disregarded, their tranquility disturbed, their prosperity retarded, or their liberties imperilled by the people of any other State, full and ade quate redress can and ought to be provided for such grievances through the action of Congress and other proper departments of the National Government. 2nd. Rsolved, That the people of Pennsylvania entertain, and desire to cherish, the most frater nal sentiments for their brethren of other States, and are ready now, as they have ever been, to co-operate in all measures needful for their welfare, security and happiness under the Constitution which makes us one people: That whi ie they cannot surrender their love of liber ty, inherited - born the founders of their State, sealed with the blood of the Revolution and witnessed is the history of their legislation, they nevertheless maintain now, as they have ever done, the right of the people of the slave holding States to the uninterrupted enjoyment of their own domestic iustitutions,und their Con-titutional rights in relation thereto. 3d. R3, , olved, Unanimously, that we adopt the sentiment and language of President Andrew Jackson, expressed in his message to Congress on the sixteenth of January, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-Three, that the right of the people of a single State to absolve them selves at will, and without the consent of the other States, from their most solemn obligations, and hazard the liberties and happiness of 'the millions composing this Union, cannot be ac• knowledged, and that such authority is utterly repugnant both to the principles upon which the general government is constituted and the ob jects which it was expressly formed to attain. 4th.
