Edward K llvran, accused of liavinu fidoiii'inslv inveigled, stolen, and carrieii iway, without the limits of the State of Georgia, a negro slave. Whatever tnac have been urged rela tive to this, or atty kindred sulj ct, l>v in dividuals or self-constituted societies* lli< offi-nce in lii-at. d in tiie affidavit beinc made penal by •!•" law* of Georgia, would in my view, require Executive interfi-ren< e, as really, and as readily, as offence* of any " h< r character. 1 am, however, dissuaded from comply ing; with your Excellency*s r< qtie-t, ot from a y sympathies with th ise who «v< ul I wantonly violati the aw* of a sister State, but from consideratiotts, which 1 beg leave I) IV IO present. S" far as I have received any inform i tion relative to P lilbr.iok and K‘ller; n their visit to your Sm e. was in the course "f their ordinary bo-iitess, as mariners. Tlieir vessel being at the Smith, they nati g>t •<! it homeward hy the u ual route, and in the usual time. They hail stated hotties, t> which tiny openly returned—at those h ums they took up their residence, anr condui ted their affairs tlmre without con cenliuent. ami in all n spects, conformably to the usages of innocent ami unsuspecting citizens. Whether such a course of con duct is to be deemed a fleeing from justice, «idtiii the meaning of the Act of Congress, and whether tnen, so conducting, are to be viewed as “ lujilives,” may present a question of som importance, but which it <ioes no l now seem necessary for me to de cide. The affidavit suggests twit causes fir the proposed arrest. One is, that the (Suppo sed fugiriies h ive been guilty, as the de pow ut has been informed, and believes of a .felony, under the laws of’ ymr State. Felony is a gene ic term. enil»racing many descriptions <> i rime. I i what acts the sttppo-ed It limy consi-t> <l, wheilit r they wi r.- acts aimed at the stibv* rsioti o> the gover mient, or ass cling Hie life, liber ly , or property of inilivitlnal citizens, and when, where, or by what instrumentality coinniitt d, is not intimated. 1 lie deponent (as he asserts) may have been informed, that some at t w hit h he had heard, and belli ve-, the said Pliilbrook am) Kelleran performed, was denominated a felony. From whom, and with wit it ac curacy he lea. tied the tit fniili'm of a “ f 1- ony” is unktiow n. Had tie slated the ai t com nitt tl, the co ,' hi-ion which I could hate rlrawn Ironi it relative to its < harac ter, and I’riii'iuality, would be more satis factory to im-, than ihe depom ms opinion, th it -tt' h an act, (.vh tiever it might le ) constituted i felony. S rt ly a charge s • vagu , even Winn verified by oith. cannot jitstny the tlesired arn st. Bit li isi h irge, iu telinite it is, i-» not sworn io, j«s irnc. 1 lie al.egation i. men ly, that the tleiio oent lia- been so inforiiieil, and so believes. Ihe oth’t alleg ition is, that the said Pliilbrook an I Ki II- ran, as tit poiieuf be lieves, did I' h'iiiomly inveigle, steal, lake anil carry away , without the limits of the State of G orgia, a negro slave. D >nht it s- su b an act. if coiiiniitte'l, is an of fence aga nst the laws ol Georgia. Bit the a legations of the affidavit do not, in my judgment, constitute such a ch irge as w0.x1.1 justify me in surrendering the snppo- I -e.l fugitives. Ail rests in the deponents .leiiel—no positive statement is made; ahd on what ey i-lence his belief is fond led, d >es not app. ar. It migh be the -l sttg- ! geslion ol an excited mind —it ,u-lit draw its origin from some indeterminate in-i ill ation of intereste'l peisons, whose motives we c innot scrutin ze. Above all, it is not alleged, that the crime has been coin , i'led by any one, but inert ly that the deponent lieliev es it has. By the Con-titutiiin of the United State-, no warrant is to issue, eXei pt ori probable 1 ailse, siipporh d bv oath or affirmation, I and tin (j-m-titiitio i ttfiiii.-Siate, fui’iii-h;-- I the sa ue protection to its cit.z n-. In th • ’ i ast- under t'oiisi let atiou, it is not asserted that there is prob ible cause, nor are facts or circum-t inces presented, from which probable cause can b" inf rred. In -t ca-e, arising in tiii- S ate, no m igistrate would eel j 'stifled tn issue liis warrant upon such evidence. It would not be sufficient au thority to detain a man for trial. Fmm the fiiTgoittg coiisi lerntion, I am constrained to think, that the case which yotir Excellency has presented, is not of such a ch trader as w ill permit im* to order the propo-' tl arrest. I have the Imilor to be, with high coti*id ei alioti, your Exceliency’s olie lient ser vant. (Signed) ROBERT P. DUNL AP. Executive Department, Ga., Milledgeville, S- pt. 5 1837. Stß—l have the honor to acknowledge, the receipt of your commi'i'icatioii of the 16 h ultimo in answer to mine of the 21st of Jtnic last, demanding of your Excellen cy tilt 1 prr-nns of Daniel Plntb' - ook ami Edwmd K lleran. fugitives from justice, and charged «ith the crime of feloniotisiv inveigling, taking and carrying aw.iv with out the limits of the Si.te of Georgia, a certain negro man slave, mimed Atticus, the property of James Sngnrs and Henry Sigurs, You refuse to comply with the demand on three grounds, if I rightly understand yon. Fir-t, because the persons charged “ visi ed Georgia in the course of their or xltuary bust Jus's as mariner j; returuwl bdme- *1 o ifi Mft <«, S PT i:IEIS fi Ii i», | ward by the usual route and in the usual inn—had stated hoim sto vliich tin v open ly returned—took up tin if risidence and conducted tlieir affairs there without con cealment, ami in all respects cotnformalily m trie usages of innoct nt and unsuspecting citizens."’ Secondly, “ because the aflid t vit on vv h'ch the dimtaml was made, is not positive ; but only as-erts the deponent i'lforniati'm and belief that the pi tsons charged had coimnitted a ft lot y, by inveig ling, stealing, taking and canting away w ithotit the limits of the State of Georgia, i negro slave.” Ami thirdly, because “ felony is a general term embracing ma ny liescriptions of crime, and had thv de ponent stated the act committed, the <’oti e|it*iou you could have drawn from it rela tive to its character and crinunality would have been more satisfactorily to von, th n the deponents opidon that such an act con stituted a felony.” The fact that the individuals “charged, to their homes (in Maim ) and comlticted their affairs there without con cealment nnd tn all respects conformably to the usages of innocent and iinofl’enning citizens,” is no evidence of their innocence. It' they had thus acted within the jurisdic tion of the State where the offence is alle ged to have been coimnitted, I admit it would have been a circumstance well calcu lated to rebut the presumption of guilt, ■out they were in the State of Miine, be •»‘Stitt ami without the j'lri-iiiction of dir laws tiny had violated, where they expected to nr protected, and where, I regret to say, lite course your Exetllency Ims deemed it your duty to pursue, they will in fact be protected; ami that 100, directly in oppo sition H» a positive law ol'th" United Stat.-s, passed in pursuance of the Constitiition. With due reference tn your Excellency’* judgmeni, I must he per.mtteil to differ front you in the constrttciion of Mr. Sigur’s affidavit. He dues not state the fact of stealing upon his lit lief, Imt the lin t of die individuals charge I, b ing the M tst r and Mitral' the schooner, B >*lon. The affi <l vit states positively “ that D miel Phil brook anil Edward K-lleran did, mt or about the 4th day of May last, (t loitiotislv inveigle, steal, take anil carry away with out the limits of Georgia, a n gm man s ; ave, named Atticus, the prope tv of the deponent ami In bmttter, H'-tiry Sague’s.” The (ieponent dn-ti states that this act. as In has bem inf rnt-d and b licves is a telo ny iHnirr ilit* law*, of Guornia. 1 he fact, thorefcre, vvhii h you desire to know in oriler to dta.v your mvn coii'hisioti relative to the < haracter and eritn u .lity of the offence, lias been distinctly and po-i --•ivelv sworn to in the affi lavit, to wit, that D inie! Phiiltrook, nnd E Ivvard Kelleran ditl lelotii..iis!y inveigle, steal, take ami c u [ r . v sway a certain negro man slave, named ■ Aiticu-.

When Mr. Gihnvr, the present candidate of the Nuliifiers, hirnv riy filled ’he Exec utive Cnair. it is well known that the ten dency of his administration was to retard emigration tn the Cherokee country.

Bit this ditl not satisfy him. So aversuF did lie seem ttt tht settlement of the courj-x try, that he recommmled the Legislature to put Indians upon an equal fooling with men, and allow their testimony to be red in Courts of justice against zens. Animated as these Indians’ are, deadly hatred towards the whites; knowing W scarcely any thing of the moral duties that bold society together, or of the sacred ob ligations of »n oath; who does not see that nmclt Was to be feared from allowing them the power to gratify their malignant passions in this way? |( this recommendation had been adopted, lio nr.ui with any property or reputation, would have ventured to place them in jeopardy by removing to the country,—-it would have remained to this day, little better than a howling wilder ness. In view of these and other fart's that might be adduced, we say that Mr. Gil mer was extremely inimical to the prosper ty of the Cherokee country; and we furdte •barge bis present supporters, and himself, with entertaining the <a ne urfworthy feel ings at Ibis time. To prove bur charg* true, we need only to refer to' the abuse their presses belch forth upon Gov.
