GEORGIA RESOLUTIONS.

The Georgia Legislature has adop-
ted series ofvery strong resolutions,
in reference to the refusal by the Gov
ernor of Maine to deliver up on the de-
mand of Gov. Schley, certain individ-
ais, who had stolen slave from Sa-
vannah. We subioin the resolutions,
which were adopted unanimously by
both branches of the Legislature:
Be it therefore unanimously resolved
by the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives of Georgia, in General Assem-
bly, met. iThat the refusal on the part Of
the Governor of the State of Maine, to
deliver up, or caused to be delivered up,
upon the demand of the Governor of
this State, Daniel Philbrook and Ed
wardKelleran, who stand charged with
the commission of crime against the
laws of this State, and having fled
therefrom, is not only dangerous to the
rights of the people of Georgia, but
clearly and directly in violation Of the
plain letter of the Constitution of the
United States, which is in the follow
| ing words, to wit: "a person charged
in any State with treason, felony or.oth-
er crime, who shall fee from Justice,
and be found in another State, shall on
demand of the Executive authority Of
the State from which he fled, be deliv-
cred up to be removed to the State
having jurisdiction Of the CRIME.
Be it further resolved, That the
State Of Georgia, and each Of the other
members of the Confederacy; by the
adoption of the Federal Constitution
became party thereto, no less for the
better protection other own than the
common rights and interests Of all-and
when these ends cease to be attained
by the faithfulness Of any to the constl'
tutional engagement, she is no longer
bound by any obligations to the com.
Imon compact; and it then becomes
not only her right, buther duty, para
mount to all, others, to seek and pro
vide protection for her own people, j.
q her own way.
j Be it further resolved, That 50 soon
as a bill of indictment shall be found

brook and Edward Kelleran, for the
offence aforesaid, the Executive d
/ Georgia be requested to make upon the
Executive of Maine, a second demand

predicated upon sad bill of indictmen
and accompanied by such other evidenC
as is contemplated by the act Of Con

they relate. Our whole frontier is in

RELATIONS WITH CANADA.
MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Senate and House of Represem>
tntireS Ofthe United States.

To the Senate and House of Rspresen>
tattues ofthe United States,
In the highly excited feeling on the
Northern frontier, occasioned by the
disturbances in Canada, it was to be
apprehended that causes of complaint
might arise on the line dividing the
United States from her Britanic Ma
jesty's dominions. Every precaution
was therefore taken on our part au-
thorized by the existing laws; and as
the troops of the provinces were en-
bodied on the Canadian side, it was
hoped that no serious violation of the
rights of the United States would be
permitted to occur. regret, howev-
cr, to inform you that an outrage of a
most aggravated character has been
committed. accompanied by hostile
though temporary invasion Of our ter
ritory, producing the strongest feelings
of resentment on the part of our citi-
zens in the neighborhood, and on the
whole border line; and that the ex-
element previously existing has been
alarmingly increased. To guard a.
gainst the possible recurrence Of any
similar act, have thought it indispen.
sable to call out a portion Of the mill
tia to be posted on that frontier. The
documents herewith presented to Con
gress show the character of the out
rage committed, the measures taken in
consequence of its occurrence, and the
necessity for resorting to them. Il
will also be seen that the subject was
Immediately brought to the notice Of
the British Minister accredited to this
country, and the proper steps taken or
our part to obtain the fullest informa-
ton of all the circumstances leading to
and attendant upon the transaction
preparatory to a demand for reparation.
/ ask such appropriations as the circum-
stances IN which our country is thus
unexpected placed, require.
