there is great room for improvement. We shall give the

which (if anv blame arose) affected the State and not the

ir.g of the act of Congress, and whether men so con
ducting ure to be viewed as ‘ fugitives,’ may present a
question of some importance,” which he does not deem
it necessary fur him to decide. Truly, a most wise con
clusion! But the Governor of Maine seems to claim :t
as a mutter of right for him to depend upon information
which he received for refusing deliver toe fugitives;
information, perhaps false, against a positive oath.
Surelv, then, vour Committee, speaking in behulf of ihe
people ot Georgia, if not the .entire South, may be permit
ted also, to relv upon information v liicli they have received,
for reasons (independent of those already given) v- hy they
should have been delivered. The vessel ot the lugawts
left, it appears, the port of Savannah, in the nsu ii manner;
she pursued the usual track, that ol the broad ocean, (the om\
one site could possibly pursue,) to reach her poitof destina
tion; she arrived in the usual time, and, as tfcc Gosornoi of
Maine would have vs believe, “ they too'-, up their resi
dence” at their usual homes. On the other hand, your
Committee is informed upon good authority, that when the
owner, who went in pursuit of the stolen r-lase, arrived at
the port to which the fugitives fled, to wit, their homes, they
themselves could not he found, although their vessel wa»
lying in the port; the slave tncy did find, cciiceultd in a
barn, and that when the party who arrested him were about
leaving with the recovered property, they were pelted by
the populace, and the owner with difticu-tv eseapi cl fiom
the fiirv of the mob. -
But it is unnecessary to dilate further. Ail toe facts of
