Refiort of the seltct committee to nvh'jtn was tef erred the rurrerfiondenre L toeen the Oovtmort nf Kentucky Sc Indiana, which was published in our last. Mr. SfEAKER. Your committee, to whom wns refered, a icier from Ids Excellence, tin Governor of Kentucky, to the Governor of this state, founded on a resolution of the legislature of that state : together with the answer of the Governor of Indiana, on tiie subject of run-away slaves, beg leave to repot t That, that they havo had the same under consideration and would remark that they highly appreciate the general friendly and amicable disposition of the state of Kentucky towards that of Indiana manifested in his Excellency's communication; and cordially wish to persue and maintain the most friendly relations between the states: but, at the same time wc would observe, that in the opinion of your committee a part of the communication alluded to, does not breathe that spirit of amity and good will, so strongly recommended by this Excellency the Governor of Kentucky On the. subject of the difficulties, said tr be experienced by the citizens ol Kentucky in regaining their fugitive slaves, your committee are of opinion, .that the feelings of his Excellency, as well bs of the legislature of Kentucky, have been governed, in a great degree, by the improper representations of individuals who have been disappointed in their attempts to carry away those whom they claimed as slaves, from the state, without complying with the pre liminary steps required by law; together with the groundless assertions of unprincipled individuals, who have attempted, m main instances, to seize and carry away people of colour, as slaves, who were free and as much entitled to the protection of the laws, as any citizen of Indiana This, your committee believe, could have been made fubv appear if they bad been furnished with the particular circumstances on which the t mplaints against our citizens arc founded. And this omission, on the part of the Governor of Kentucky, has left the proper authority without the means of in- ( btie;at.intr the matter in question; and is, at the same time, in the opinion of your committee, a circumstance, which i!oes not carry with it, that decree of respect, which is due from one friendly state to another. Vour committee rejects the idea of the alleged want of energy or promptitude in those charged with administering laws: or that it is the prejudice of our citizeni against slavery, which obstructs th citizens of Kentucky in regaining their fugitive slaves, h is a well known jact that, whatever may be the opinion of our citizens on the abstract principles of slavery; and howl rer repugnant it ma) appear in their estimat onto the principle ii moral justice, there is but one Sentiment pievalent en the bubject oi

people of colour migrating in any ciicumstancc, to this state. It ia believed, if no restricted wouid, in time, become an cviuof not much less magnitude than slavery itself But not wknatan :;. ;our future interest and happiness require that we should discourage or perhaps prohibit, people ol color, from coming into our state even as freemen, certainly more so- as fugitives) yet, it is a solemn duty, which we ovc to the dig nity of our laws and the sovereignty of our state, to pro-et t such of those d graded and much injured people, as are resident in Indiana ;and defend them apainst the grasp of miscreants, who have, in repeated instance, all mpted to carry them from our shores into perpetual slavery. And we would observe, th.u, if the supposed sntofenergyor promptitude in those who administer the laves, in relation to this subject, has existed) it only was to be found in the forbearance to punish, with proper and merited severitv. wretches who would thus iolate the lights oi humanity, and the Lawn of our state. Your committee are much gratified to find, that his, Excellency the fiovcrnor, has returne 1 a ft iendly ami conciliatory answer to the communication of the Governor of Kentucky; and w ith him we believe, that, it is the wish f the citizens of Indiana, as a member off the American confederation, as mue : as in her p.w r, to remove every cause at dissatisfaction beiuecn her and ot.ier states of the union but while she is labouring to promote friendly relations on her pari, she will expect to meet with correspondent exertion-, on ihe part of other states. Your committee, in, the futher prosecution of the duties, assigned them, will take into consideration the laws on the subject of slaves escaping into this state, as well as for the punishment of the criflMftOi stealinp; ; and if it should be f.d that, any new provisions arc necessary on either of those subjects, they will fom the subjects of future reports. 0 1 : l eD t CONGRESS OF Tfjl U. srjtTBS m Militai y Establishments.
