Alabama and New York.

We last week promised the material parts
Of the correspondence between Gov. Gayle
Of Alabama, and Gov. Marcy of N. York,
upon the subject of delivering the editor Of
the EmanciPator to be tried by the laws of
Alabama, for transmitting into that State by
mail seditious publications from the State of
New York; and we now comply with the
promise.
Gov. Gayle transmitted with his demand
q copy of an indictment "sound by the
grand jury" Of Tuscaloosa county, from
which, it appears that the offence charged
was that Robert G. Williams, " on the 10th
day Of September, &C., at and in the coun-
,y aforesaid feloniously, wickedly, nalci.
ously, and seditiously, did cause to be dis.
tributed, circulated, and published, a sed;.

State Of New York.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, !
albany, 9th Nop. 1885.

DIX,
The requisition made on me by your Ex-
cellency for the arrest and delivery of Rob.
ert G. Williams, has been received, togeth-
er with the documents and papers Herewith
transmitted; and ! have given to the appli-
cation the careful and mature consideration
due to it on account Of the high source
from which it has cmanated, and the very
grave question which it presents for my dc.
Termination. The crime imputed to Will
Jams, is, "the wickedy and maliciously
causing to be distributed and published Sc.
ditious paper in this State, the State Of Ala
bama,] maliciously designing and intending
to incite the siave population thereof to in.
surrection: and rebellion against their mas.
ters;" and it is alledged in the acquisitions,
that he "Aed from justice and is now going
at large in the State of New York"
The indictment charges Williams with
having committed the crime in the county of
Tuscaloosa, which is within the territori.
al limits of the State of Alabama but in
your letter to me, transmitted with the re.
QUESTION, "it is admitted that the offender
was not in the State of Alabama when his
crime was committed, and that he has not
fled thcrefom, according to the strict literal
import of that term" For any tl;::lg thut
appears to the contrary, and so l Presume
the fact to be, Williams, at the time he com.
mitted the offence, was, and still is, citizen
of the State of New York, subject TO its
laws, and entitled to the rights that belong
alike to all its citizens.
The right on your part to demand him,
and the duty on my part to deliver him up,
if they exist, ore given and imposed by
that clause in the Constitution Of the United
States, which declare that ga person charg.
ed in any State with treason, felony, or oth'
or crime, who shall flee from justice, and he
found in another State, shall, on demand Of
the executive authority of the Slate from
which he fled, be delivered up, to be remov'
ed to the State having jurisdiction OF the
crime" Although it is conceded that Wll'
liams is not literally fugitive from the
State Of Alabama, and nothing appears to
show that he has ever been within its terri.
tory, yet, according to Your construction
of the clause of the Constitution above quo.
ted, it is my duty to cause him to be deliver.
ed upon your rcquisition. Whether it be
SO or not, depends, as you conceive, upon
the meaning to be given to the word flee,
in that clause. am favored with your cx'
position of that term, in that part Of your
message to the Legislature of Alabama
which accompanied the requistlon. Alter
the best consideration l have been able to
give Your views, I am constrained to differ
from YOU, both as to your rule Of construc'
ton applicable to this clause, and as to the
effect of the clause constructed by that
rule.
