the eloquence of ids manner, the power ol his intel

Reforc I had the honor lo hold my present sta

“That the course I'lirsiied by the Executive ol New
York (in reference to a demaul ol the surrender ol
take ! three fugitives from justice.) cannot be acquiesced in,
and if sanctioned bv the Slate and persisted in, it will
become the solemn dutv of V irginia to adopt the most
decisive and cliicicut measures for the protection of
the property of her citizens, and the mointainance of
rights which she cannot and will no', under any cir-

at defiance by one State as to another, the injured
Slate must either submit to the wrong, appeal to the
constitutional arbiter, or seek by its own inherent
power to obtain redress. It i; apprehended that few
persons will lie found m \ irginia, who will advocate
submission to the wrong which lias been perpetrated
mi diis Stale by the Gov ernor of New York. This
Department has already communicated to the (h-m-ral
Assembly its v iens a.s to the powers of the Federal
Government in i» fi renee to this controversy, but it is
not within the •scope of Executive auihuiity to am

: demand ol t! e Governor of New V <>rk, acknovvledg'-
iugits validity, until that oliiecr shall think proper to

Are the icpresentativi s ol the people of V irginia
alone lo complain ol this? The Governor of New
V ork eannol complain, because lie is informed that
the rights of his Stale will be respected, vv hen he re
spects those of \ irginia. The people ol New V ork, !
to whom their Governor is responsible, may ask him
how long justice shall he withheld from them, since it !
cumstances surrender or abandon.”
I»\ another resolution I was requested to renew a
correspondence with the Governor ol New V ork on
the subject ol a demand bv mv predecessor, with
which the Governor ol New York hint relusv d to e.om-
nrrender of three persons charged with
hav ing feloiiiou-ly carried away u slave, the proper!v
ol a citizen ol this Commonwealth. I was further n-
quested to invite the attention of other slave-holding
Stall s to tin: subject, and to invoke their co-operation
iu redressing the wrongs to which our Stale, was ex
posed by liiciilu-al nl the Governor of New \ ork to
surrender these fugitives from justice. The cones-i is in his power, at any moment, to entitle them to that

as our feeble efforts are concerned, they shall he used
to sustain Governor Gilmer.
It is time the abolitionists should he made to feel
aud know, tiu.t our rights of property, and our insti
tutions are to be respected, and to teach them to con
form to the golden precept, of doing unto others, as
they would have others to do unto them.

THE IN AI (HU AI, ADDRESS.
\Y<‘ have not riven to our readers, according lo the laslnon
of the day. an elaborate analysis of tiie Inaugural Address ot
President liainson—|)resiuninK that every body will read
i% and having read if, will know w iiat it contains, without
our undertaking the office of a guide, or taking the trouble
to place a label on each separate paragraph.
Vv e know not which are most offensive to common sense—
the il-natured aud unseasonably vituperative comments of
the (Hofte, tiie Host and oilier opposiiion p-iuts—or the sicki u-
i nr. loathsome xv to j ;ha nev of some of the Whig journals. One
class of cotnmentatois can find nothing in llie Address hut
vv lint is contrary it* the constitution, non-committal, hypo
critical, pompous, vain, ami ambiguous : the other finds it-,
highest hopes satisfied, aud from the rnaguilieent s'vie in
which i.s admiration is expressed, leaves its readers no room
to suppose that a mind merely human can ever reach lo the
sublime conception which originated the address.
\\ ith all due deference to the supei tor sagacity ot both these
patties, and with that modesty which becomes a di-svnter
from tits dec)ccs and dogmas of opj o-:;:" cousise.s, we
think a little differently from both, and, ;t the fetzard t>: • x
