To the lU'.isz cf RcrcicriijLiivss of the Stdtc ef IfiJijrzj. I now submit tor the information of the General Assembly copies of two letters, one ot which was received from, and the other addressed to the Governor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, on the subject of this State. During the year iS'i3,Col. John Weathers wis appointed as the agent in behalf of the St ite to demand of the Executive authority of Kentucky certain persons resident thereof, who had been indicted, by the Grand Jurors of the country ot CLrke tor kidn upping. The agent in this instance, has informed me that he forwarded the documents necessary in this cae, hut has nut received anv answer thereto. 4 At an after period, the Grand furors ot the country ot Hanison, indicted certain persons, lenient ot the same : tete, tor

long as a portion of oui cinzens shall countenance or encourage such infractions upon claims tt protection under the constitutional laws of the State, so long may we expect the deleterious etiects of their influence. To discharge our duty witfi promptitude towards every member of the union, should be an high object as a government connected with, and bound by the tics which give force to that union; and as promptly to require a like discharge of duty from others when ever constitutionally wc are permitted, and our right?, authori-e such demand.
