Gov. Johnson's Special Message
THE LENNON SLAVES.

The following communication has been
made to the Legislature of Virginia, by
Governor Johnson, relative to the discharge
Of the slaves of Jonathan Lennon, by
Judge Paine;-
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Dec IL, so.
To The General assembly Of Virginia
GENTLEMEN In late communication
| had the honor to address your body, | al.
uded to a recent decision of a Judge in the
State Of New York, by which Jonathan
Lennon, citizen of Virginia, had been
deprived Of his slaves. stated that steps
had been taken to procure an official copy
Of the record, and that when received /
would communicate it for such action as
your wisdom may dictate.
| have recently received that record, and
herewith submit it for your consideration.
Twill be seen that Lennon aud his vile
with eight slaves belon ing to her, were
emgralng from Virginia to Texas. On
their passage they passed through the port
OF New York, and were there compelled by
necessity TO land with their slaves. without
remaining or Intending to remain Longer
than necessary, and with no intention at
any time of bringing their slaves into that
State TO remain or reside, or for any pur-
pose what yer, except in passing from Vir-
gina to Texas. Being so in transit or on
their passage, writ of habeas corpus was
applied for by a third person, and issued by
one of the Judges of New York. by which
they were compelled to bring their slaves
before him; aud he, on the facts above sta.
ted, declared the slaves free and set them
at liberty.
Therecord contains the judges opinion
at length in which | see nothing to change
the opinion heretofore expressed upon he
subject 1t will not be expected that shall
enttr into legal investigation of his rea.
sonlng and conclusion, nor is it necessary
In order to secure for it from your body
that enlightened consideration which its i'm.
portance demands. 1t is in conflict with
the opinions aud decisions of o.her distin.
gulshed jursts, without, believe. a single
precedent to sustain it. In importance. il
is OF The first magnitude, and in spirit. !, is
without its parallel. If sustained it will
not only destroy that comfy which should
ever subslst between The several States com.
posing this confederacy, but must seriously
aiect the value of slave property wherever
found in the same.
have also received and herewith submit
a communication from Henry D Lapaugh
ESQ., Of the city of New York, from which

AS we expected.

We intimated, some weeks since, while giving
extracts from the Hunker New York paper In re
lation to the decision of Judge Paine, lberating
the Virginia slaves, that the effect of their weak
craven and deestable course on that affair was
calculated 10 invite, if it was not intended to in
vite disturbance, outrage, and retaliation Oh the
part of the South, We expected this at the
tIme and we were not, it seems. to be disupoin.
led.
Gov. johnson has just sent TO the Legislature
of Virginia a special message on this subject
which We publish in this paper, and which, for
the strange and unprecedented doctrines it con-
tains, is certainly one of the most remarkable
political documents of the year. The effect
of what Gov. J. contends for would be to make
Slavery completely a national institution: SO
that shareholders may take their slaves into any
of the free States, and there claim the protection
of the National Government in holding them as
such
We shall watch the proceedings of the Vir-
GINA Legislature with interest, to see what they
will do about the case, which their Hutspur gov
ernor falsely tells them is without parallel. I"

pr operty Of the South.

The WEBSTER BRrBE FUND, so CALLED
1t appears by correspondence between David
Sears and Daniel Webster, recently published
in the New York Journal of Commerce, that
this fund.- about which SO much was said and
suspected some yeurs ago, was an annuity. or
the interest OF $37 900, raised by Sears and 80
other wealthy merchants and capitalists of Bos-
ton and vicinity, and deposited in The Massuchu.
sets Hospital Life Insurance Company, of which
Webster was yearly 10 avail himself so that,
according to the letter OF Sears, notifying him
of the fact, and Tat of Webster accepting the
annuity, he could remain in Office without detri.
ment to his private affairs
These, we suppose, are the facts; but how
much it lessons the old imputation and how far
it weakens the old charge that Webster was in
all the latter part of his career in the Senate and
Cabinet pensioned agent of the commercial
interest and coltonocracy of Boston, is for the
public now to pass final Judgment.

Won will perceive that the proceedings which
took place before Judge Paine have been
removed BY cerkimari into the Supreme
Court of the State to be by the Court re-
viewed
Bot | am informed that by the voluntary
contributions Of portion of the good Peo-
ple of that city, Lennon and his wife have
begn fully reimbursed the value of their
slaves. and have agreed that, in case Judge
paine's decision is reversed, the slaves
shall have their freedom This wlthdraws

deem the subject Of sufficient impor-
lance TO require and receive the attention
of the government Of this commonwealth,
and recommend that, for the present, pro-
vision shall be made by the General Assem-.
Div for the efficient prosecution Of the APP
peal aready taken and Of such other Judicial
proceedings as may be found necessary and
proper for satisfactory adjudication OF the
important questions involved in this case.
cannot believe, that even by the Sd
preme Court OF the State OF New York, a
decision will be sustained that is so contra
~ to the gplril OF all law, so opposed to the
established principles which regulate inter
course even between foreign nations, 50
much at war with the relations which should
subsist between the sister States of the I'm
ion, and, as | think, with spirit, if not the
letter of the Constitution itself.
But if in this am mistaken, IT the
statute of New York, has been rIghtfuIly
expounded by the learned Judge, and is not
in conflict with the Constitution OF the Uni.
ted States, it is proper that Virginia should
know it. The same sovereign power by
which New York enacts her laws and gives
them force Within her limits, pertains tc
Virginia within hers and to them she Will
then have to look for redress.
Yours respectfully, ]. Johnson.
