The Grand Jury Of Tuscaloosa County, in this State,
on Friday the 10Th u returned true Bill against Ro-
Eort CT. Williams the Editor OF |" the Emancipation,
New York. for circulating within this State, publications.
Of scdtous character, tending o.cxcitc slave po-
pulatun surrection and murder. 1t Is SAID IN Tho
" Flag of the Cnon,' though not automatically, that
the Governor will make demand upon ,:e Executive OF
a. Y for the delivery Of Williams to DC tired under the
laws of this State The clause ote Constitution relied up
on to sustain the claim is that which declares that"a per-
charged with treason, felony, or other crime, VINO
shall fee from justice and be found in another state shall,
OIL demand of the Executive authority OF the State, from
,rhih he fed be delivered up 10 the State having Jul
risdiction of the crime.
Should such demand be contemplated there will arise
some very grave intricate questions of constitutional
law which we hope will the most earnest and

South stands now on mpregnhb!r grounds. Out fshls
are clear undesirable, u1d;spu!ed. The whole mass OF

Tic merits or dement's Of the ahoitionsts' 49,
II seems TO us that nothing would NC more likely "
e,,rass the true question, than conflict between TWO
