There were also accompanying dosu. menls-the Massachusetts law, the report of the Le- g,slature of South Carolina. and letters from nr hubbard. claiming to be the Agent of Massachusetts. The Governor is strong and emphatic on the iinpo- priety of hs interference of one State with the ner ual laws of another; and urges upon the Leg saure the necessity of prompt action.

 In the House of Representatives, after the irsmac- ton of some unmporlant business,

 Mr. Wadsworth said that with similar view 10 that contained in the message, he had drawn up a preamble of bll and resolution, winch would have Inms Hate reference to the question at issue. How. ever, as this had left the State he would with draw the resolution and merely submit the preamble Mir. Winchester advocated the proprieiy of taking up the resolutions from the Senate the subject, have referred to committee and reported with out delay.

 Mir. Wadsworih was, he said. about to offer a res oution that the House would request tho Governor to expe Hubbard from the State, and that such might be passed by the Leg isaturs AS would support him m such d measure.

 The Speaker said that the motion of the member from Plaquemne. to offer his bill, out of order.

 Wb.r.a. The I aa;slatur. of ,n;.;an. b-v v;,g passed and enforced "An Act lorbddng free persons of color from coming within her limits" the State of Massachusetts has thought proper tO appoint agent to reside in New Orleans, for the purpose of collect ing and transmitting accurate Infornation respecting the number and the names of the citizens of Massa- chusetts, (ree people of color and nded, who have hitherto been, or who may be during the period of the engagement of the agent, imprisoned without the allegation of any erme and for the fur ther purpose of testing the legality of such imprison ment. Notwithstanding the desire ever manifested by this State and the wish she still feels preserve kindly relations with the other members of the Con federacy, she cannot permit this gross assault upon her rights and interests 10 pass ahoul comment and resistance. The statute which has given offence Massachusetts, was enacted for our security aod peace. All experience has shown that association with the ignorant eolorsd persons from Statss that do not tolerate slavery. is followed by dscontent a. Inons black population, and by the escape of numbers of our slaves 10 the non-slavs -hoding States whence they rarely reclaimed They become (parlicuary in Massachusetts) special objscts of enumeration and protection. The Inw is ono oi lhe highest importance, required alike by prudence and humanity. Massachusetts, for many years, has been necessarily warning against the slavery of the Southern States. Her delegates in the Congress of the Coniederacy spare efforts to excite he public mind against this institution, and her Sate Legsla tHre has even peliioned Congress to propose m al iteration of the Constitution of the United States, by

  cured and without which the compact of Union | would have been formed. and which, if abolished, would be immediately followed by separation oi the States. Not content with lhls course of conduct in Congress and in her Legislature, which, though she may have had the fight pursue, s not coui eous 10 the slave Stales in accordance with the spli oi the coui.deracy. She has gone much iurthertoIera- l ton has embroidered her, and she has ventured 10 send saIarie1 agent reside amongu us, for the pur- pose of testing the legality of laws which we wtr- f,rced 10 enact tu project ourselves from the ianai cis,A mainly engendered by her citizens and siimnla ted by her authorities. Such IS the insult she has been pleased to add to the injury she has dons us But only upon the oi the crusade against our domestic InsiituI Ons-she IS not saished with th' excitement she has kindled within her own limits, | the unknd feelings she has engendered among he, neighbors. the prtudlces she has aroused throughout Chri.tendon agaiust Is, but has hIay determined tn pay missionaries lo live among for the purpose of agItalng the institution of cry, and at he risk,  fl not wIlh the object of stimulating our slaves to in' recion and sulJ-ctng to the horrors of suclLa | civil cOmmotipn.
