COMMENT.
We can scarcely credit our senses Is it
possible that such is the deliberate Judgment
ofthe enlightened editors ofthe Whigl We can
not believe it possible.
The following is an extract from the inau-
gural address of Governor Morehead, ofNorth
Carolina:
81 will cheelfully yield to the General Co |
vernment all the powers to which she is emit
tied, from fair and proper construction and
Interpretation of the Constitution; while, on
the otner hand, shall carefully maintain, pro-
test, and defend the rig hts which pertain TO our
own Stale.
II shall he extremely careful to see that N
Carolina, when she speaks in her Sovereign
character, has right to spealk-and when she
does SO speak, through her great seal, the EN-.
btem fiber sovereignty, -trhile hare The honor
10 co"t'O It, it must be, ii shalt be, respected.
Line days Of our political existence, under
our present happy form of Government, are
hammered, when the States shall permit their
Sovereignty to be condemned. and their greet
se.Ls 10 De SC fed at and diSregerded."
Tnese remarks were intended to have refer
mean any Thing, imply that North Carolina
should assert her rights, when disparaged by
Consress or by all the departments of the
Federal Government; and shall Virginia. will
Virginia abandon her constitutional rights, be-
caus. til. Governor of New York chooses to
Civ. ialss Interpretation to the Constitution
Wlllihe Wnigs OF Virginia put their party as
tendency Oh such an issue!!
It's taxing oar crsdulity too much, when we
are told that Virginia must abandon her rights
be:ause, fJrsooth, those who know him to be
wrong, admit that the Governor of New York
''tltLc5 himself right"
Now, what is the question? citizen of New
York being L., the State Of Virginia, and subject
t, ner Jurisdiction, steals negro. He is indict-
ed u.l4sr the laws of Virginia, and, having fed
to New York, is demanded by the Executive as
a fugitive from justice. Now, what is the Law
auI e constitution on this case?
Set. 1. Art A. Of the Constitution of the u.
States is in taese words:
81 filth ami credit shall be gwen to tho
pu0.; acts, re .0ris, and judicial proceedings Of
every ut4er state. And Congress may, by gene
raj law, prescribe the manner in which such
acts rccofas, and proceedings shall be proved,
and the effect thereof"
s'Sec IL. /. Tns citizens of each State shall
b. emtltled to all privileges and immunities of
citz.ns 4 the several States.
50. A person charged in any State with trea-
son, i-Lony, or other crimes, who shall flee from
jusl:e All De found in another State, shall, on
uenLld of the Executive authority Of the State
from which ne fed, be delivered up, to be reno
vel u the State having jurisdiction of the
crI.ne.o
Now can there be palmer case? The stealing
Of tn. negro is admitted-the indictment and
proceedings of the Virginia Court are admitted
1.-The d-mand by the Executive is admitted
AMI the delivery refused upon tho ground that
the stealing of negro is no offence against the
Laws VI New York The offender has violated
no law Of New York-nor would he il he had
committed murder in Virginia. But he was
guilty Of felony in Virginia, he Aed to New
