The House of Delegates Yesterday was
| engaged during the greater part of
session of hours, in the consideration,
OF the resolutions from the select com
mlttee IN reference to the refusal of the
Governor of New-York to Surrender GER
tam fugiuves from justice on the de-
mand OF the Executive of this State
ne resolutions, as reported, amounted to
very littie-and those adopted, though
much improved ia point of taste, amount
10 but little more. The committee rec
commended another appeal to New York
TO DO US justice, & accompanied the appeal
with resolutions, couched in threatening
gaSconad;ng strain The House stripped
these resolutions of most of their brar-
CART air, but did not change the remedy
proposed by the committee. That is, thew
adopted the Suggestions of The committee.
10 make another appeal TO New York, aud
not resort forthwith to legislative enact
ments to redress the wrong.
There was perfect unanimity on the main
point, l. e. that We were right and New
York wrong. The fruitful source Of all
the discussion and seeming discord sprang
irohi the crude and uncourttous style ia
which the resolutions We're drafted.
ANOTHER FAMILY OF MiNlsTERs.-
we noticed not long since the ordination
OF Mr.. Worcester, lover a congregation in
Vermont at which the sermon was
preached by the incumbent's father, and it
was said to be the 9Th sermon, We think.
which he had preached for different sons
On similar occasions. In the November
number of the American QaauerIy Req
Ister we observe an obituary article on
the Rev. Eva1ts Worcester, late of Little
ton, N. Fl. 1t does not appear that this
gentleman was a relative of those of the
same name mentioned above, but probably
be was dIStantIy connected, for the remark
Is made III this article that the family of
the father as well as the mother OF the de-
ceased, has been distinguished for the
number OF ministers they have furnished
and the facts here stated certainly sustain
the remark. 1t appears that on the pater-
nal side, We're four brothers; Rev. Noah
Worcester, d. d. Of Brighton, Ms. Rev.
Samuel Worcester, D. d. of Salem, Ms.
the first Secretary of the A merican Board
OF Commissioners Tor Foreign Missions
Rev. Thomas Worcester, of Salisbury,
N. H.; and Leonard, the father of the
SUBJECT OF this notice, who alone survives.
A sister also married minister who re-
moved to the west. Then, OF the side of
the mother who was the youngest daugh-
ter of Rev. Samuel Hopkins, D. D, of
t1adley Mass, there were. nine sisters,
Jour OF whom, besides herself, were the
wives OF ministers. One halfbrother also
was minister. Ofthe grandsons of Dr.
