Johnston, of this stare transmitted to the I.eslatuie an important measure, covering resolutions of the Legis latures of Virginia and. Georgia relative to northern. aggressions; which had been for-1 mally sent to him by the Executives of those States for that purpose. ' The Governor sub bits them with a denial,of their truth - apd 'a protest against their injustice.. Gov.

He gives A historical summary of the acts and laws of &tansy lvania, as tit slavery and The surrender of fugitive. slaves, to sustain his vindication of her fidelity, and closes as follows: If the obligations imposed upon us by - the Constitution have been' thus faithfully dis chatged, and if every page of our history, every volume of our laws, demonstrate- that otir federal relations have been honestly re &,-,Jrded. is it not an act of injustice on the part of auVrorgia, to charge us with A wilful'negliiet and infraction of otit duties to the national conaPact ? Is it an•aggressimi for our people in the_exercise of thelibertv of speech to proclaim' that slavery is art evirand a wrong. and that at the adoptionolthe Con stitution, these principles were avowed, and maintained -Isit a wrong in ahem to say that power is rested in Conaress to prohibit the introduction of slaVery into the Territo ries, and to'nitolish it in District of !Co lumbia ? The federal_ - Constitution denies to them no right to speak freely on these sub jects. If it did, this governMent never would have existed clothed with powerso despotic and unjust: Whether it is espedienti to legislate upon the subject-of the exclusion of slavery from the-12rritories, and of its abolition in the Dis- trict - of Colutribia, at the present time, tit- the National Cottrz,ress, or to permit' the people; of the respective territories and the District of,Colurnbia to act for their own best inter- I ests, and according to their own views of policy and right ? -is no part of our present duty to 'determine. "These questions ..May I well be left to the Representatives in "Con-, j gress, under the instructions of the people to decide as may seem.

I regard the fact of Mrs. Middleton lent ing the United States, and sailiteg for France to see her husband and..satfsfy him of her in nocence, when.out of the. wav of the influ ince of his prejudiced and kaftans family, as one of the best and strongest proofs of her I entire innocence.
