Ho hold* thut u "cilmc*' within tho men ning of tin* constitution, is one recognised hy thu laws nf Iho siututo which tho offender lias fled, in by tho law* generally prevalent among civilized na (ions.

Now, under those provisions, I maintain thut ilia Governor of New York is bound to surrender those- accused persons to tliu justice of Virginia. In lliu view i take of the manor, (ho duty pl'tlic governor of New York under tho constitution is in no degree dependant on tho question, whether llieso men nrn guilty or not. Their guilt or innocrncu is to he judged, not in Now York Imt in Virginia. It is nn esseuti il attribute of sovereignty, that each sintn should muko und adminisier its own luwn. Thu cuurlesy of tuition*, ami that inure perfect courtesy, and more intimato union dial hinds together the Ameiicon states, requires us lo presume thut each stale will nut uprightly und do justice. Nor do 1 embarrass myself with tho question, whether thoclmrgo nguinstlhore men is sntlicicnily mnilo out, iu tlm paper presented to tho governor, i must assume for tho purposes of the argument that tlm charge Is sustained hy proper ovhlence.— Gavurnnr-Uewiml denies the obligation to surrender, nssitiniiig the chatze to bo made out.

KENTUCKY. Mr. Wickliffo from the Committee on Foreign Relation*, hat reported tu Urn Senate the follow ing KcsoltitionM Rt iolveJ by the. General Attemlly of the Slate of Kentucky, That they hive carefully • xamined the letter of the Executive of Virginia, and the pro amble and resolutions passed by tlm Legislature of tlmt Slate, relative lo the demand uf llm Fxeeutlvo ol Virginia on ike Executive of New York, for the surrender of three fugitives fromjtiMice, to wa: IV ter Johnson, Kdwarvf Smith, noil Isaac Gsnsey— and tlm reason* u«>i«t»*'*l It) the Executive of New Ymk for his failing and refuting tu comply with the demand, and that In the opinion nf the Legislature •if tits State nf Kentucky, the said lessons ol the Executive of New York lor failing to surrender said fugitives-IVter Johnson.

Tho fulr import nf tlm language, requires tliu gnvornor to stirreialei tliosn men. They lire charg ed in Virginiu with n ciime, uccording tn the luvvs nf tlmt state. But, snys Goveiuor Sew aril, it must In* n crime according to iho laws of this Stale, at nrcotding tu thn laws gonornlly prevalent uniting civilized nmiun*. Is it nut n plain and cuuclusivu answer, thut them is no such qualification imho constitution ? A crime is un uffunen ngninst the law* j a crime iu Virginia is tin offence -ngninst tiro luws of Virginia Her legisliittiro make* criminal what nets it pleases. A person charged with llioso acts is a person charged with a crime iu Virginia. 2. Any other interpretation lends to absurdities Tito two explanation* of the governor aro iucon sistent wills each oilier. I f "ci imo” mantis a crime iu iho stuto lo which thu person had fled, then the cuttsiiiuiion would require of tho governor of nnu sluto whut it did not require of unollmi; and d Her out duties from succossivo governors of iliosaino slnto. The umeliniHiion of llm criminal code of u state would mako it nn iisylum fur criminal* from other times. It would enablo ono slate hy ubolisli ing it* criminal -curie, lo uhsolve itself entirely from Unduly tudclivui crimiunls. If "crime” mount oiimo Bccimlllig to tlm luws geuorally prevalent nmong civilized tuitions, then for .an oflencu not generally recognized hy oilier nutiont, the governor could not surrender one who had been guilty of nn otluncj mado in In mum hy tile laws both of Now York und Virginia. Besides, how vague und un certain n role would it he. Who is lo dotcrtuino what are civilized rations, what lire tho luvvs gem-r ally prevalent among them? Is it Gov. Seward of New York, or Gov. Cmnphell. of Virginia, or Governor Dogg* of Missouri 7 Ami how lluciu tiling ! Muny acts were ciimca nmong ull civi lized nations two c>-ntnrie* ago, which m.vv are no crimes at all. Al this dnv, all Europe acknowledges for crime, what in America is none, mtrrilego fur example. Tho sluvo tiado is in our day piracy, which u century ugo was a lawful und huuumblo iruflic. 3 Tho purpose of the provision in tho constilu thm require* llm government to deliver up those person*. Tlm wholo scope of tho second srctioii is to bind tho stutes together—to mnke them forcer luiu purpose* one. i hi* first subdivision prevents one statu from shutting out tlm citizens of another. Tho second prov.-ii s one state from shutting in thosu who linve escaped to it for protection from tlm jus tico of another. Tito third complute* tho work, hy obliging a slnto to send back such fugitives from jus lice. That i* n forced explanation which Gov. Sn word would fain muke that tlm prevision about fugi lives frumjilsiieo was merely a suhstitule for it trea iy between the Stnte*. which the constitution had pruvided,because it bail forbidden the stales to ntukt* treaties. But is the fust subdivision n substitute for n treaty also? or the third? Whoever heard of n treaty tor ei.her of .thoso purposes? Iftheconsti tntinn prohibits the State* from making "treaties," ir doe* not prohibit their making "agrci'iuents or compacts" with cncft other, with the content of Coil gress. These are permitted hy tho 10th sectiunof the first article. 'Hie State* can therefote, with the consent of C-mgrcs* mako mutual agreement* lor the surrender of ciiminal*. It i« not for the want of such power in them, thut tlm constitution inter filed. It wa* huenuse the States could nut Itarlmr criminals escaping from each other, und rnhtimicin pence. To secure that peace, wus tlio first object «>f the constitution. 4. If any inference enn ho drawn from tho histnrv of the constitution, it is nil on the side of Virginia'. Iii the articles of confederation, tlm provision ran tint*: “If any person guiliy of, or charged withtren son,felony,or other high misdemeanor in any state,’. Sic. The convention seem to have intended to cn Isrge the provision. As the committee of five first reported it, the word* "guilty of” wero left out, but the phrase "high misdemeanor" wn* retained But •ifterwnrds, In the convention "it was moved and •rc-indrd, to strike out the word* 'high ini.demean or,' and insert the words 'other crime,' which pns* ed in llio affirmative."

Whot took place cn the occasion in thus described in Madison's Debates; '*Article 15 being tlmn taken up. the word* 'high misdemennoi ’ wen* struck nut, und the words'other crime’ inserted, in order to comprehend all proper rases, it being doubtful whether'high misdemeanor' hud not n technical meaning to limited.

When the-question canto up, it gave rite tu u debate which went to shew the position of parties. 1 would that some uf ihc-Southrous who imvu dono S'* much for "Tippecanoe uml Tyler ton" hail been present nt this discussion. T hey would have hid their faces in very shame nnd curiliisioii lit the gross injustice, not tu say ingratitude they Imvo shewn to their only and inie-ftiendt the democracy of the mm rluviduddiug States, in InnJiug their aid tn de feat the candidates ol the Democratic party.

When tllcyhiing hack tlz-t recollections nf the'past, nnd consider that Duhwnre, Maryland, Nun It Carolina Georgia, Louisiiino, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Komucky, all arrayed themselves agninst Muitin Van Duran, shame and confusion at their want of perception must he succeeded hy a hitter indignation at tho nuthers of the imposition of which they have leen tho dupes.

Tho question un tin final pusstige uf the bill cumu upon Thur.-duy, 14th inst. Mr.Jenkins said he wn* nnl aware, yesterday, when this bill was ordered to ho engrossed, that tho institution wn* nno lur tho iuxtiuulion of blacks mid vv bites without di*titiclinn of color; hut having this mm ning received ii document establishing the fact thut tlm institution wn* oro of that character, dint ho should fi e) it hi* duty to oppose iho bid. Mr. .1. hold in hit hand it report on tho condition ol lilts colored people of Ohio, made intlm Abolition State Convention ut Maxsilon. on (lie 27th of Muy 1340, from which he reod tho following extract: "From Ihe Teachers at Red Oak Seminary. "‘There lire about 150 colored people in the vi cinity of Red Ouk. Must of them enmo there for tho put pose of ediie.iiiinc their children. They nre what would bo calk'd good livers The colored people paid their school bills us promptly as tho whites. •Mr. Branch wrltest • "Our school embrace* 34 colored youths nnd 30 white. 1 never taught n school iu which every thing wont oil so peuei-nbly. I found no difficulty iu gov orning the school by moral sunsion; there wus tho utmost Inrmony manifested by the diffurcito com p'exions tovntTi other 'Mi-** Messenger taught the ft mule drpnilmont i weeks. She* writer: 1 " The colored youth enjoyed little or no ndvontn ge* of schooling until within two or lilt ee years, Imv ing been bred iu slavciy. limy have applied them selves so diligently to their books since they had ltd vuntuges, tlmt many of them nre now equally ad vanced with the white children. The c-l<>red und white children nre classed together, and 1 did nut >«o hut tho former made iju to n* good proficiency us the latter. The most interesting feat tiro of the school was the association of colored nod white youth*, and the perfect Imrmuny tlmt existed be tween them. Had my eve* been closed, I think 1 should not have know n hut that all were uf one coin plexion.”' Mr. J. snid ho was opposed to the cnc..uragrmcnt nf any such inst itute*; und upon the passage of the bill hu demanded the yens and nays. Mr. Dunham said he was ignorant nf the fact, like the gontlotr.un from Columhiann, tlmt this insli lution vviim for tho instruction of colored children un til now:—but ho Imped that would not form un ob jection with gentlemen. Mr. Br. nigh inquired of the gentleman from Brown, (Mr. Dunham,) whether this was tho institution refer* red to in tho document from which thu gentleman from Culuinhittnn had read extracts? Mr, Dutdmm suiil ho did mil know positively, hut ho believed that there were more abolitionists in tho town in which tlm school wus located, than in any other part of tho country. Mr. Clark was surprised to see tho opposition manifested Inwards the hill, and the ciiuvo assigned for that opposition. If the citizens of that place dc sired to send their children ton school with colored children, he did not si c Imvv it could effect the con stiinenis of tho gentleman from Columbmnn. Mr. Brough said there cnnhl ho no doubt, from the evidence which wo have heard, that this was tin institution for tho education nf Macks nnd whites in ilifcriminutcfy. If such wns the fort, it wn* one calculated to invito thn Mack population of ether State* nmong ns, and thut eventually our State wiuld he overrun nnd flooded with degraded negroes. This bill, therefore, was riot, n* the gentleman from Clermont hud said, one which affected only n r*nr tietdar tow n; but it was otic which nfiectrd, and that ton, not very remotely, the in crests ofthe cunstitu eats of cveiy gentleman on tld* floor. Mr. Jenkins would inquire of the gentleman from Clermont whether he would send hi* children to u school whei n Idack children rnmnned a part of it? No! he would scorn the thought—uml yet he would foster Schools *>f this character, so that poor whito people, who stood not quite *ohigh in society,would he forced to send their children to it or eLo deny them the benefits of education Mr. Dell «uid he would do nothing to encourage the emigration of blacks to ourStul*—but lie w'mi.d do ti l in hi* power to am*'li»rnte the condition of thoseulraudy umung.t u*. Ho cared not vvliat their color was—they had rights, a* much at those who had skins ns white as snow. Mr. Clarke understood hy tho gentleman from Drown tint tho petitbin.-rs for this bill were while—oral if that fact constitutes a claim upon nur consideration they weto «le-cr«ing of it. Ifthcv desired lo plocc their children nn a par with the blacks, it i* not our place to deny them that privi lege, that wn* a mere mailer nf taste, Mr. Watkins would n»k of iho gentleman who introduced tint bdl w hether negro children were allowed in this school ? Mr. Duulum did not know. Ho did not know whether the chi'dren alluded In in the seminary were black or white—but even if it were the cuse, he saw no reason why gentlemen should feel so sen sitive on the subject. Mr. Hawkins thought it was sufficient for the House to know that tho petitioner* were white, and that we bad no bu*inc*i with their objects. Mr. Watkins should go sguiust any legislation lint h id a tendency to plxce blacks on nn equality w ith the whitest nnd lie very much deprecated tho rapid strides this House was raking towards that ubject. Ilu should he compelled to vote against the passage ol all such hills. Mr. Drouth said Im took no esreptlnns to the pe lllioiiert. The evidence had teen rend lo us that the amalgamation system adopted in this •‘■•hind hsd Men thu meant of dttwing ui.v hundred and fifty fnmilisttiliern from the ni'lgldioiing States. By lliu same authority wnarn assured, also, that there were in tho male department uf tho school, thirty* four blacks and thirty whites-a Majority nf blacks! :aci rs | 1 ho geut|f*fiian from Clctrront had vny truly suiil, "it was a mere matter of tnsto." Il is no doubt thu cute, Mr. Speaker; and I am tint dispntvil to di-pute his tusto or lilt smell. But that is nut tlm issue; thu cnntfiiuenc.'* involved in this matter are iff grout importance to the wholo people nf this State. It bus M'on said that wu linve no right to forbid these petitioners from smiling their children to school with negroes. That is lino, Mr Speaker; but wa slum Id no. ot.coiir.ige, hy legislative ennrt nmnl, institution* uf this character ut tlm expense of tin* feeling*, thi interests, and thu rights uf there who differ with these pctiiinnsrs. After a few remark* from Messrs. Burkina nnd Brown, In favor uf tlm bill llm question was then taken upon its putsnge, and carried, ym* 41, nays 20. What tjiink you of this? when n Legislature nf Ohio tnki* upon itsclftu legi’luto for tho iimowny black* uf iinollier state, when hy our ztnle ennatitu lion they belong to that portion nf nor population not recognized hy u« n* citizens?

In somo cases of exception tn these remarks, as for instanco tlm deep cut in Do Kalb county it ha* been deem ed economical to defer any repairing operations to n more favorable season. 1 Imvo directed a survey of this cut in order lo estimato tbo probable cost of nltoring the slopes from thoir present inclination of 3 to 1, to nn inclination of £ to 1, tho former being much loo steep for the nattiro of the soil. Tho proposed alteration it i* bolievrd will prove tho most efficient nnd economical guard against a fur ther slipping of thn uarlli. Among tho important subjects which at present cull for attention, the adoption of a plan for the su perstructure of tho road is prominent. I intend lo make this question tho subject of a special re port, or nf a conference with the Boatd nt your next meeting. Herewith you will receive tho re- poits of tho resident Engineers of the different divisions giving detailed in formation concerning tho progress of tho work. I have tho honor to lie very respectfully Your obedient servant, JAMES S. WILLIAMS, Ch’f Bng'r. Engineer's Office, W. & A. R. R, I Marietta, .Lratiuiy 14, 1841. y James S. Williams Esq. Chief Engineer. Si'S—The fulluwing report nf tho progress mode in thecon«tructiun uf the first four residences niTho W. & A.R. Rond during the fourth quarter of 1040, with their present condition, is respectfully sub milted, together with tlm accompanying quarterly return of work dono, muturiuls delivered, &c. &c. dining the same. At tho tinio when my last quarterly report was rendered, tho grading and masonry of this portion of tho road had boon completed generally, with the exception oftlio grading of sections 5 ami 15 of tho first suciiuii, 15 uud 21 of llio second, and section IG of the third division and the masonry of one abut meut nnd pier nt tbo Vininc Viaduct, with tbo ro building ot tlm Nuondny and I'ettis creek abutments. Instructiona lmd been received to rebuild the abut nmnt* at tbo I'ructor creek viaduct, ami far the ro pair of the abutment atWlu'tslom',but the great scar city of faithful und competent masons hn* prevent ed uny commencement on the two last mentioned structures. Thu necessary repairs required attho Whctstona viaduct may he made in n few weeks time wltencv er thu w-emhor will admit, and will consist in a but tress or Revetment wall, with the entire removal of tlm stop drains, which Inst item oppeors lo hnve been the origin of the rupture in this ubutment a* well as in several others where the masonry has been dry and undressed. Tim musonry ul tho Vining Viaduct has been pressed forward as rapidly ns tho inclemency of tlm weat)ier,nnd a duo regurd to permanency would permit, and 1 nm happy to (inform you thnt, should nn uccidcnt occur, thi* work will ho completed dur ing the ensuing two weeks, nnd will close the lust contract of ono of the most energetic, faithful, and competent firms (Messrs. Wilson & Cullman) that we linve had on tho road. This viaduct when completed, will bo among the most elevated in the U Stntos, being 120 foel high, ntid is 480 feet in length. Tho superstructure for the above wns framed nnd delivered some 'month* sinco bv the Messrs. Denmcads, whose reputation as Bridge builders is surpassed by few ifany in this country, ttn.l whose long and intimate acquaintance with tlm plan from which this structure was model cd,peculiarly qunlify them to oxecute so responsible n work. Thu Messrs Dcnmaads have nlsu framed and delivered the super structure of llio Nounday nnd I’roaor creek viaducts at their respective sites, where tlm same I,ns been carefully piled and secur ed undercover, until such timo as the mosonry shall bo prepnred to receive it. Considerable progess hn* also been mode in raia mg Elawn b viaduct; about three spans are now to be raised lo finish ibis part of the superstructure.— A Ittigc portion ofthe flooring plank hna been pro pared, und in a few month* wo may anticipate tho completion of this, the longrst viaduct (1836 feet in long h) on the Western and Atlantic R, Road,and in a manner reflecting high credit on tbo contractors. The superstructure of tho Bridge onTwo Run creek has been completed in all except whitewashing tho interior uf thi* sntne. Tho contractors have been advised of this omission,- nnd will no doubt Iibto the bridge in n stnto to be accepted on or before the next <*atiiimte day. The culkiug and paving of tho flooring of tho Chattahoochee viaduct has progressed as rapidly as from tho many vt-xncious delays in procuring cot ton nnd tiiw, nnd the very unfavorable wenthcr dur ing the past three months could have anticipated: one wet’k of fair weather would enublo the present force engaged there to completo it. But litt'c progress has been mod in the masonry nt Noonday, which in a measure may be attributed to the difficulty encountered in obtaining a good add secure foundation for the eastern abutment, to which may be added tlm want of.good masons. The con ^ tractor for the ahovu has been notified that action atidcnrrgciic operations, must forthwith be com menced, and no uxertion must hereafter be wanting on his part tu contple the snmeat tbo very earliest ^"'l'hn ° ila! . of tho rrp.in « 'l"> l> *'' l * £n" k Bridge ...suclr Mill. mnmh .. 10 in'ure il. coo.ptMi°" provid.il th. we.thor h.d proV'J reo.nl v.ry h.n.y rein. h.v. much Brlditional work I" '■■Jt'Ct' .lip. ond n.h.rwl», «' |U “sTforM rfl.rd*•'iT'lIlSpUtta.tfc.
