Sir

The correspondence with the authorities of the State of Maine on this subject, has been laid before the Representatives of the people of Georgia, and the reasons therein assigned for refusing to comply with the demand have been maturely considered by them and they regard them as wholly untenable and inconsistent with the provisions of our common Constitution. In this opinion I fully concur. The General Assembly of Georgia at its last session acting under the solemn belief that the State of Maine had disregarded her constitutional rights by refusing to surrender persons charged
