No more party question could call forth so deep an interest, and so significant and licisivc a vote throughout the length and breadth of the State; and 1 venture to believe I do not mistake its import, nor your convictions respecting it, when I ; assume, as its deliberate and irreversible decree, that $o fur as the State of New I York it concerned, there tluiV he henceforth ' *><? extent ion of Slavery in tin Territories o'ike United States. This conclusion I must unreservedly ! adopt, and am propared to abide by it, | at all times, under all circumstances; and j an every emergency.'

They do not look upon the lato result as a defeat.
