TaylUr, was brought up for arraignment
this mornipg, in the fifth District Court.
The court room wascrowded on the occas

bonnet, and a green veil, and looked fa
tigued arid Cairo worn. When called to
tho bar, she advanced from her seat with
a Steady step, but when the clerk com

finding of the grand jury, her assumed
fortitude gavo way, and boforo tho docu

the indictment, he put the usual question,
“Are you guilty or not guilty T” to which
slio replied, “I am guilty in self defence
and 1 wish I was hung and be done with
it. I’ll die for him; I love him ; I wish I
was hung for it. I don’t want to live in

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE. i
Tho following correspondence between 1
Gov. Low, of Maryland, and Gov. Bigler,
of this state, will oxcite unusual interest. 1
The public have long been somewhat fa- '
miliar with the subject matter of this con
troversy. It has undergone discussion by
tho press in all parts of the State, in the
course of which, Gov. Bigler has come in
for a full share of misrepresentations and
abuse. At one time it was asserted that ■
he had refused to make a requisition for j
Messrs. M’Creary and Merrit, the alleged;
fugitives from justice; and then again, that
he had mado the requisition, but subse-1
quently withdrew it at an instunce of Gov.
Lowo. Indeed so vigilant hud becomo the
efforts of a certain class of political phil
osophers to misrepresent the uciion of tho
Governor, and so violent tho execrations
heaped upon him, thut official declaration
of his action became a maltor of duty to
himself as a public officer. At tho in
stance of citizens of Chester county, there
fore, he finally consented to furnish q
copy of tho correspondence for publica
■ tion.

Antiapolis, Md., May 2, 1853. J
To His Excellency,
The Governor of Pennsylvania .
g IB : —I have maturelyrconsidered the
requisition mado by your Excellency, for
the apprehension and delivery of Thomas
M’Creary and John Merrit, charged with
the crime of kidnapping a certain Rnchael
Parker. I must respectfully decline to
comply with it for the following reasons:
You will perceive by the statement ofL.
A. Schoolfield, Esq., (the truth of which
has not been, and 1 presume, will not be
controverted,) that Thomas M’Creary went
to Pennsylvania, not as a kidnapper, but
for the sole purpose of capturing Rachael
Parker, then supposed to be Eliza Crocus,
the fugitive slave of Mrs. Dickeyhut. It
is also certain that ho carried with him the
authority of a power of attorney from the
ownorof the alleged fugitive, or herngent,
designing to act under it, in good faith. —
It is likewise well known that ho captured
Rachael Parker, believing her to be Eliza
Crocus. Neither can it be denied that he,
had good reason for so believing, not only j
from the information received in the neigh- Exective Chamber.
