The extladiton of fugitivss from justice from
foreign countries can only be refused under
penalty of rupture Of amiosble relations with
the Uoited States, and probable war. but the
Governor Of Massachusetts refuses With i'm.
putty to return fugitive from justice to
South Carolina. AS all the States of The Union
are, at least, supposed to be entitled to
equal privileges, what is conceded to Maasa.
cbusetts Cannot be denied to South Carolina,
and so We should not be surprised if the latter
were TO bec)me tho safe harbor Of all the ir-
d;ctcd villains of tho former. Moreover if thess
States eau act 10 this way toward each
other there is nothing to prevent them from
treating all the rest of the sistcrhood in
the same way, or to prevent any other State
from harboriug escaped criminals not only from
Massachusetts, and South Carolina, but from
all the other States of the Union, so that
man might rob and murder here and be safe
by crossing the river. which is no more absurd
than true
