BROWN, GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA. , Eubctiti Departmknt, ) Milledgtville, Ga., Nov. 7,1550. I To th* Senate and House of Representatives: Since the adjourenaeot of your last session, I received from trie Governor of South Carolina a copy of the resolutions passed by the Legislature ot that State, at its late session, on the subject of our Federal Relations. By reference to these re solutions, copies of which are herewith transmit ted, it will be seen that that gallant State, impatient under the wrongs which she, in common with her southern sisters, has suffered in the Confederacy, and ready, as she ever has been, to defend her constitutional rights, invites all the slaveholding States to meet in convention, “to concert measures for united action.” I also transmit copies of the resolutions passed by the Legislature of Mississippi in reference to trie resolutions of South Carolina; by which it will be seen that she accepts the invitation. It is understood that the Legislature of Alabama has also made provision lor having that State repre sented in convention; while Virginia, Tennes see, Kentucky, Texas, and probably other South ern States, nave declined to accept the invita tion. In view of these facts, it is evident that the con vention, should it meet, will be composed of dele gates from bnt few of the Southern States. I think but little good could be expected to result fjom its deliberations, unless the Southern States were generally represented. Ido Dot, therefore, recommend the appointment of delegates to rep resent this State. In declining to recommend the appointment of such delegates, I do not wish to be understood as expressing a willingness to ac quiesce in the repeated aggressions of the non slaveholding States. In my opinion, the constitutional rights of the people of Georgia, and of the other siave’uoiding States, have been violated by some of the non siaveholding States to an extent which would justify them, in the judgment of all civilised na tinns, in adopting any measures against such of fending States, which, in their judgment, may be necessary for the restoration and future protec tion of all their rights. At the time of the formation of the Const.tu tion of the United States, the rights of the slave holder were recognised, in all the States. No I political demagogue in the Northern States had ‘ then been able to ride into power by denouncing the people and the institutions of the Southern States ; nor had the Northern pulpit beeu dese crated by abolition harangues. Since the pas sage of the law of Congress inhibiting the traffic, most of the illegal importations of slaves have been made by Northern men, in Northern .-hips. And it is a well known fact that the people of the Notnern States, before the tralfic was inhibited by Congress, imported a lurpe proportion of the slaves brought from Africa, and sold them to the i ! people of the Southern States, and received their j money for them, wnich, wita its proceeds, was, I no doubt, invented in shipping, manufacturing, Ac. Triis fact was fresh in the recollection of th: I Northern patriots who united with our fathers in j | forming the Constitution; and they did not hesi tate to mnd themseives and their posterity or to : respect our right* in slave property. I regret to say. however, that the conduct oi many of their descendants has not been charac- J tensed by a like spirit of justice; since manv, whose ancestors grew rich by the sale of slaves to i the southern people, are now ready to denounce i the trains by which the fortunes tney enjoy were made, as immoral and inhuman, and th* southern ! 1 people as little better than demons in human ; shape, because we continue to hold, as propertv, : the offspring of the slaves purchased from their fathers. Numbers of them advocate the doctrine that our slaves should be set free among us, inter marry with our children, amalgamate with us, and be placed, in all respects, upon a basis of perfect equality with our free white population. For the purpose of promoting this object, and producing a I general revolt of our slaves, a portion of their number, with tire and sword, have invaded Vir- j gmia, one of our Southern sister States, and slaughtered, in cold blood, some of her quiet, law- ! abiding citizens. It is true, these guilty crimi nals have suffered the penalty of the law upon the i scaffold; but the justice cl their punishment has been denied, and their names have been canonized by the abolition masses in the Northern States; i and, even in the pulpit, the are frequeutly referred to as martyrs to the cause of hbertv. Should our citizens iuvade their'Territory, and burn down their factories built with money or the proceeds of mosey paid them by Virginia, Geor gia, and Carolina planters for slaves, and butcher their citizens who hold property acquired by the sale of slaves, or by the use of the productions of slave labor, how differently they would view the question of criminality I ‘ But ‘the invader who j should slay the Northern citizen who holds his i fortune acquired by the proceeds of slave labor and the sale of slaves, would not he more guiltv j than those were who invaded a slave State and i slaughtered her citizens because they held slave*; i nor would his moral guilt be greater than that of the political leaders,~who, by their doctrines and teachings, prompted and encouraged the invasion of Virginia. While the abolitiunists deny our right to bold the slaves we purchased from'them, they do not permit any one to question their right to their propelty purchased with the monev we paid them for slaves. They claim the right to hold their property thus acquired, but denv our j right to hold the slaves they sold us for it. They claim the right to carry the property which thev j received from us for s'lares int* the Territories, j but deny our right to carry the slaves thev gave us for it, into the same Territories. This is not the spirit of Northern patriots of 177*5, with whom our fathers united in the Decla ration of Independence ; nor of those of 1787, with whom the;.- entered into the compact of the Constitution. They were brave, noble, generous men, who required justice from all men, and were ready, in return, to render even-handed justice to all. At that time - Georgia and Massa chusetts were alike sovereign and independent ; States. Each entered the family of States with ‘ her faith solemnly pledged to tne other to perform ! all her Constitution*, obligations, and to respect ■ all the Constitutional rights of the other. The Constitution of the laited States is a com- j pact in the nature of a treaty, between the sover- | eignStates oi this Union; by which each State : made concessions to the others, for the sake of the Union, and each bound her faith solemnly to j the others, to do, or to permit Congress to do, j certain acts which it was agreed would promote ; the interests of the others, and to omit to do cer tain other acts which might be to the injurv of the I others. Each delegated to the General Govern- I ment, under the qualifications contained in the Constitution of the L nited States, the exercise of I a portion of its sovereign powers, for the good of j the whole. Georgia, when she entered the com- j pact with Massachusetts, conceded important com- j mercial and other rights; which concessions, under ! the operation of our tariff laws, navigation laws, I and otherwise, have inured greatly to the benefit 1 of Massachusetts. In return for these concessions, j Massachusetts solemnly contracted and agreed I with Georgia, that she would, on her part, i among ! other things, i “deliver up ‘ to Georgia her fugitive slaves escaping and going into Massachusetts, on claim of the party to whom the service or labor may be due. No one pretends that Georgia and the ether southern States would have entered into ; the impact and formed the Union, had Massa chusetts and the other northern States refused to give this express guaranty. Not only the plain language of the Constitution itself, but the contemporaneous debates, and the early construction put upon the Constitution, ot w hjch we have evidence in the fact that no law wa s passed by Congress on the subject for several years after the Union was formed, “ail show con clusively that the understanding between the States was, that Massachusetts, and the other Northern States, pledged their faith to Georgia and the other Southern States, sot simply that the j Federal Government, by its officers, might arrest j fugitive slaves found in their limits, and deliver them up to their owners, but that the people of Massachusetts, and of each Northern State, by their officers, would themselves ** deliver them up,” just as they bound themselves to “ deliver up” fugitives from justice. The only difference in the language used m the I Constitution, as applicable to the two classes of fugitives, is. that the criminal, or fugitive from ■ , justice, is to be delivered up on demand of the Executive authority of the State from which he fled, while the slave, or fugitive from labor is to i be delivered up on claim of the party to whom ! such service or labor may be due. Thetwo clauses will be found in item two of article four of the Constitution of the United States. The clause in reference to fugitives from justice, is in these words : •* A person charged in any State with treason, felony, or other crime, who sbaif flee from justice, and be found in another State, shall, on demand of the Executive authority of the I State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be : removed to the State having jurisdiction of the crime.” The clause relating to fugitive slaves is as fol ; lows : “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into anoth er. shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or la bor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the par ty to whom such service or labor may be doe.” It may be here observed that the aame language, “shall be delivered up,” is used in both, cases ; and that the Constitution does not, in either case, say that it shall be done by authority of Congress. I do not say that Congress may not have con current jurisdiction id these cases, and that a law may not be passed by Congress providing for tbs exercise of this power by the officers of the Fede j r *l Government in case a State refuses to do it, and thereby proves faithless to its Constitutional ; obligations. As this may not be considered an open question, Ido not propose to discuss it; but I do say that, under these provisions of the Con stitution, the faith of each State i* solemnly pledged to every other State in the Union, to ex ercise this power whenever a proper case may arise; and to deliver up the fugitives of either class found within her limits, on the demand or claim being made as provided by the Constitution. | What State denies its obligation, under the Con stitution, to deliver up a criminal who is a fugi tive from justice, on demand of the Executive au thority of the State from which he fled? lam aware that discussions sometimes arise about the legal form of the demand, and that a faithless Ex ecutive may, under some shallow pretext or legal technicalitv, refuse to do his duty; but what ! by legislative authoritv, has ever vet de nied the obligation ? and what State, not con trolled by Abolition counsels, having no regard ■ for plighted faith, will, for a moment, deny its Constitutional obligation to deliver np a slave who is a fugitive from service, on claim of the party to whom such service may be due? But how have several of the States of this Union kept their solemn compact with Georgia? As I should be compelled to extend this message to too great a length, were I to attempt to point out the faithiess legislation of Maine', Vermont, New York, Michigan, and of other Northern States upon this question, I will notice only the iegisia j tion of Massachusetts, as one of a class of States, which, under abolition rule, have shown them selves utterly regardless of their constitutional obligationsand their solemn pledges of public : faith. Massachusetts has not only failed to enact laws providing for the delivery of fugitive slaves to their owners, but she has, inflagrant violation of everv principle of good faith, enacted laws throw ing every obstacle in her power in the way of the rendition to their owners, by the officers of the Federal Government, of fugitive slaves found within her limits By a statute of that State, approved March ‘24th, 1543, she commands the Judges and Justices of the Peace not to take cognizance of the Act of f Congress, prssed in 17??, for the delivery of fugi tive slaves to tneir masters, and not to grant the certificates required in cases that may arise under j the third section of that Act, to any person who I claims any other person as a fugitive slave within I her jurisdiction. This certificate, under the Act of Congress of 1793, is necessary to enable the 1 owner to carry ~ack his siave to the ritate or Ter ; ritory from which he fied; and it is by that Act | made the duty of the Judge or Justice to act m | such c jse, and to grant the certificate upon proper proof being made. She also enacts that no sher iff, deputy saeriff, coroner, constable or jailor, or other officer of the commonwealth, shall arrest or | detain, to aid in the arrest or detention or impris onment, in any jail or other building belonging to the State, or to any county, city, or town thereof, • of any person for the reason that he is claimed as i a fugitive slave. And as a penalty, it is enacted r that any Justice of the Peace, sheriff, deputy sher r iff, coroner, constable, or jailor, who shali'offead against the provisions of this law, by in any wav acting, directly or indirectly, under the power conferred by the third section of the Act of Con gress, aljrementioned, shall forfeit a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, or to be subject to imprison moot not exceeding one year in the county jail. This statute only prohibits all officers of Massa- i chusetts from arresting or detaining a fugitive slave, and denies to a citizen of Georgia the aid of the officers of tii%t state in capturing his fugitive slave found there, bat denies to fctm the use of any jaii or building belonging to that estate, for the purpose of detaining his slave tiil he can car ry him away : and also makes it highly penal in auy officer who acts and gives the certificate di- 1 reeled by the aci of Congress as above stated.— This law of Massachusetts effectually nullifies, in that State, the act of Congress passed for the pro- i tectiou of the constitutional rights of the people of Georgia and the oiher Southern States. In 1 soo, the Legislature of Massachusetts pass- | ed, over the Executive veto, another statute, ex tending the provisions of the act of 1843, to the act of Congress known as the fugitive slave law, passed in lhoO; and which was intended to nulli fy that act. Tnis act also extends to the fugitive slave the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus / and, on his application, makes it the dntv of the court before winch the habeas conns is returnable, to order a trial by jury ; which is not allowed or said statute in any case except in cases of a fugi tive slave; and also gives the court the power to admit hioi to bail. On the trial, the jury may re turn a general verdict; and they are to have the same discretion that juries have in the trial of criminal cases. If the jury disagree, the issue may be submitted to another jury, or continued to the next term, at the discretion of the court. The claimant ts required to state in writing, j with precision and certainty, the facta upon which i he relies ; and neither the ciaimaut of the fugi tive, nor any one interested in the alleged obiiga- ! tion to service or labor, nor the fugitive himseif, | | shall he permitted to testify on the trial; and no \ confessions, admissions, or declarations of the ; fugitive, against himself, shall be given in evi- | | dence. Upon every question of fact involved in the issue, the burden of proof shall be on the ; I claimant ; and the facts necessary to be establish- j ed must be proved by the testimony of at least j : two credible witnesses, or other legal evidence • equivalent thereto ; and no ex parte deposition or ; affidavit shall be received in proof, in behalf of the j claimant; (it might be in behalf of the negro - ; | and no presumption shall arise in favor of the I claimant; from any proof that the alleged lugi- | tive, or aDV of his ancestors, had been actually I held as a siave, without proof that such holding i was iegal. I presume this proof could hardly be ; made to the satisfaction oi an Abolition jury, who { deny that slavery is in any case legal. A fine of not less than one, nor more than live thousand dollars, an imprisonment of not less than one, j nor more than five years, is imposed on any one j who shall come into the Commonwealth, with in- ! tention of removing, or assisting in removing therefrom, any person in the peace thereof, not held to service or labor, Ac. under tee rules of j evidence laid down by the statute, with the delays j allowed in the habeas corpus court, no citizen “of j | Georgia, before a Massachusetts jury, would ever | be likely to be able to establish his claim to his j | slave ; and, therefore, the penalty imposed by the i statute is to be, and doubtless was intended to be. indicted upon every owner of a fugitive slave who j I enters the limits of Massachusetts to claim his j property. Ine next section of the statute, in addition to this penalty, gives the negro the right of action for j damages against the person who thus entered the | Commonwealth for the purpose of removing him i | therefrom. After providing for the delays, and 1 ! prescribing the rules of evidence above mentioned, as though the Legislature feared that some owner j of a slave might be able to overcome all these ob i stacles, and establish, even under all these disad vantages, his right to his property, they proceed to i enact, that any officer of the Commonwealth, or | 1 any officer of any city, county, town, or district, ! ’ who shall arrest, imprison, detain or return, or I ; aid in arresting, imprisoning, detaining, or return- ! i ing, any person for the reason that he is claimed or adjudged to be & fugitive from service or labor, I shall Oe punished by fine, not less than one. nor ; ’ more than two thousand dollars, and by imprison- ‘ ment in the State prison, not less than one, nor L ’ more than two years. And if the volunteer mill- f ua of the State assist the owner, even after the slave has been adjudged to be his property, they * are subject, under the statute, to a like penalty. “ If, therefore, a citizen of Georgia follows “his j fugitive slave to Massachusetts, ahd after a long, expensive, and vexatious iiugation, obtains in the proper court a judgment establishing his claim to j his property, and starts to return home with him, j and a mob arrears him whileattempting to return, and takes his property from him by force, and any civil or military officer of that State comes to his relief, and assists him against the mob to return ; to this Mate with his property, such officer, for this act, is subject to be fined” from one to two j thousand dollars, and to be imprisoned m the i ! State prison, i Pemtentiarvi, from one to two * ’ years. It is further made the duty of the Governor, by | t and with the advice and consent of the Council, to S appoint in every county in the Commonwealth, ! one or more commissioners, learned in the law, j who are to be diligent and faithful in the defence j of any person who is arrested or seized, or in dan- j ger of being arrested or seized, as a fugitive from service or labor, with power to employ other coun sel for the defence ; and the whole costs of the de fence. including the attorney’s fees, are to be paid 1 out of the Mate Treasury. The statute then de clares that no jail, or other place of confinement belonging to, c-r used by the Commonwealth, or any county therein, shall be used for the inipns | onment of any one, wno shall be accused or con • victed of any offence created by either of the fugi tive slave acts passed by Congress, or who may be . accused or convicted of resisting any process, war rant or order issued under either of said acts, or of rescuing, or attempting to rescue, any person, arrested or detained under any of the provisions j of eitner of said acts, or of any person arrestea under execution for damages, for assisting a fugi tive to escape from service or labor. Under this provision of the statute, if the leader of a mob re sists a United States officer in the execution of a process issued under the authority of the acts of Congress, for the arrest of a fugitive slave, and thereby enables the siave to escape, or rescues and takes him from the officer after he has been arrested and this daring violator of thfc law is indicted in the United States Court, and convicted and sentenced to prison for having in the manner above mentioned forcibly taken from a citizen of this State bis property; or if the citizen of Geor gia sues him for damages in the United States Court, and recovers judgment, and has him ar rested under execution, Massachusetts, in either case, denies the use of her jails for his imprison ment. It u finally enacted that do part of this statute i shall apply to so much of the act of Congress as VOL. XXIV. NO. 267 rentes to fugitives from justice: showing that the Mate recognises her Constiiotional obligation in the one case and repudiates it in the other By tbese statutes, the State of Massachusetts not only nullities the acts of Congress passed f£ 1 tbe protection of the Constitutional rights of the people of Georgia, but holds out every induce mcnt in her power to her citizens to violate them to resist their legal process, and to rescue and i take from ns our fugitive slaves, after an adjudi cation under the acts of Congress that thev are j our property. When South Carolina, in 1532, made provision for the nullification of certain laws of Congress, kuown as the tariff laws, by the operation of which her citizens were being plundered by the Government to enrieh the manufacturers of lias ! sachuse'ts and other Northern States, the whole | Union was convulsed with excitement, and the use of Federal bayonets was threatened to coerce her into obedience, if she attempted to carrv out what were denounced as her treasonable designs. When Massachusetts, in 1543 and 1555, in pal pable violation af her duty under the Constitu tion, passed acts effectually nullifving the laws of Congress enacted for the protection of the rights of the citizens of the slave States, no out pouring of indignation went forth, and no err of treason to the Government was heard from’ the Northern Mates. Bnt if a Southern man propos ed that Massachusetts be coerced into obedience, or that a Southern State pass retaliatory laws he was denounced as a disunions, if not as a traitor. If nullification in South Carolina, for j just cause, was treason against the Federal Gov ernment, what better is it in Massachusetts with out cause ? 1 I r£°, bS y the rwords l °, f no State or nation m i Christendom are more blackened with the dee a 1 sU “ of andl ** r ? ce ’ “WO* by fitful violation of public faith, than this record of Massachusetts If ! I uce strong language, it is because I feel that the wrongs doue our State require that I speak the I truth without reservation While the trade c f Georgia is worth to Massachusetts, annuaLv, hun dreds of thousands, if not millions of under oar tariff laws,’navigation acts, and other advantages wh:ch Massachusetts derives from the Union, she retains upon her statue book these most extraordinary laws, for the purpose of rob bing the citizens of Georgia o t their property which may escape and be found within her limits She is inviting our trade, to which manv of our citizens look for their daily bread ; but if our merchant goes there to trade, and carries with him his slave as a body servant, ( which he has as much natural right to do as a citizen of Maasa chusetts has to carry his baggage with him when he travels through Georgia, the laws of that State take from him his property, and refuse to permit him to bring it with Lim’when he returns to his home. Suppose a similar treaty or compact existed be- I tweeu France and Great Britain, and the Gore-a ment and subjects of France should, in open vio : lation of the c ompact, rob the subjects of the j Government of Great Britain as the government and citizens of Massachusetts do the citizens of i Georgia, would the Government of Great Britain submit to it for a single month ! So doubt, in i such case, satisfaction wonld be promptly deman - ! ded of the Government of France; and. in case ! of refusal. the Government of Great Britain would resort to immediate reprisals, or a prompt decla ration of war. Should the freemen of Georgia i be denied by her legislators the protection which j the crowned heads of Europe never fail to afford to their subjects? If so, our Government is a failure, and our boasted freedom is but solemn mockery. All writers on the subject of government agree that the duties and obligations of the State or Government, and the citizen or subject, are recip rocal. The State has the right to require fr/L each citizen prompt obedience to her laws; to ! command his services in the field of battle against her enemies, whenever, in her judgment, it may be necessary to her protection, or the vindication of her honor; and to taz him to any extent which her necessities may at any time require. These requisitions, Georgia, as a sovereign State, has made, and may continue to make, on all her citi zens. In return for the sums paid as taxes, and the services which each citizen renders the State, I including obedience to ail her laws, he is entitled | to demand and receive, from the State, full and ! ample protection of his life, hislibertv, his family, his reputation, and bis propertv of every descri’p | tion. It is the duty of Georgia, therefore, whenever ’ one of her citizens, no matter how humble, is rob bed ot his property, or wrongfully deprived ot his liberty, by any otner State, to demand prompt ! and ample redress ; and, if it be denied, to make the cause of her citizen her own cause • and if need be. to exhaust her vast resources and her great energies in a determined effort to redress i the wrong. If, therefore, the State of Massachu setts. in open violation of her Constitutional obli gations to Georgia, plunders a citizen of Georgia of his property, and refuses to make redre'ss, Georgia violates every principle of good faith to her own citizen, if she refuses either to compen sate him from her own treasury, or to compel Massachusetts to compensate him. A sovereign State should either protect her citizens or cease to claim their allegiance and their obedience to her laws. But it may be asked how Georgia can com pel Massachusetts to compensate citizens of Geor ! gia who have been robbed of thrir propertv br Massachusetts legislation. The law of nations furnishes a ready reply- The most distinguished writers on this Object lay down the doctrine that a State, whose citizens or subjects have been un justly and illegally deprived of their propertv by another State or nation, which refuses to m&k'e reparation ; may lawfully make reprisals by seiz ing the properiy of the offending State or nation, or of its citizens or subjects wherever to be found ; and, if justice is still refused, by confis cating and delivering to the injured partv a suffi cient amount of the property so seized, to indem nify him against the loss; and such seizure is de clared to be no just cause of war. The law of nations does not, in such case, con fine the injured State to the seizure of the public property of the offending State, but authorises the seizure of the property of any individual citi zen or subject of the offending State. As between States, the law, in such case, considers all the property of every citizen or subject as the proper ty ol the State to which he belongs and subjects it all, or any part of it, to seizure for such Injure, done by the State, as justifies reprisal. If an in jured S'tate makes reprisal, and seizes the proper ty of a citizen or subject of the offending State, and delivers it to its own citizen or sabject, in satisfaction for the injury done such citizen or sabject, it is no violation of the right cf private property ; but the citizen or subject of the offend ing State, whose property bas been seized, must look to his own State to compensate him for the loss which he has sustained on her account; and it is the duty of such State to make good the’ loss to its citizen or subject. It follows, therefore, in case a citizen of Georgia is deprived of his slave, [ or other property, by the uujust and unconstitu | tional legislation of Slassacbusetts, and Massachu -1 setts refuse to make restitution on demand, that I Georgia may by the law of nations, justly seize an amount of the property belonging to that Com ; monwealth, or any one of her citizens, wherever o be found, sufficient fully to indemnify her citi [ zen, and retain it till restitution is made by Mas sachusetts, or. confiscate and deliver it to the in jured citizen, in satisfaction for the damage sus tained by him. This is not only the law of na tions, but it is the law of nature; “and is in strict conformity to tbe plainest principles of natural justice. Nor does that provision of the Constitution of tbe United States which declares that no State shall grant letters of marque and reprital, inter fere with the right of a State to reblress her own wrongs, or those of her citizens, as rgainst a sister State of the Union, by reprisal, where she has no other remedy. The law of nations recog , nises a clear distinction between reprisals mace ! by a sovereign State, and letters of marque and \ reprisal granted by a sovereign State to an indi- I vidual, or individuals, authorising them to redress their own wrongs. The latter is prohibited by the i Constitution, but contains no inhibition against | the former. Georgia has it, therefore, in her power to com j pel Massachusetts or any other northern State to ; do justice to her citizens ; and in this way to j force her to repeal her obnoxious and offensive j legislation on the subject of slavery or to suffer the penalties due to her violation of good faith, and of that comity which should ever exist be | tween all civilised States. I therefore, earnestlv j recommend her representatives, by prompt legia f lation, to remove from her escutcheon everv stain [of inequality by which it is now tarnished. Let us meet unjust, aggression and unconstitutional ; State legislation, with just retaliation. To this end, I recommend the enactment of a law authorizing the Governor of this State, in case any citizen of this State shall in future be deprived of his siave or other property, under the operation of the aggressive legislation of Massachusetts, to which 1 have referred, or of like legislation of anv other State, or by the neglect of any such State to fulfil her Constitutional obligations to Georgia, or her citizens, by delivering up to the owner, on de mand, his slave which may bare escaped into such State, to call out such military force as he may deem necessary for the purpose, and to seize such amount of the money or property of any cit zen of such offending and faithless State which may be found within the limits of this State, as may be amply sufficient fully to indemnify such | citizen of this State who may have been robbed of his property by tbe failure of such faithless State jto discharge its Constitutional obligations; and forthwith to notify the Governor of such State of the seizure; and, ia case the Governor of such i State shall fail, within thirty days from the time ’ he receives such. notice, to cause the property of our own citizen to be returned to him, or its full value paid to him, that it shall then be the duty of the Governor of this State to deliver such quan tity of the property so seized, to the injured citl fst* x*xt ra*-]
