All the resolutions referred your committee have for
their Object:

Congress for law providing that there shall be
neither slavery involuntary servude in these
The others declare 1t to be expedent that Congress
should pass Joint Res ulion or other act embodyins
declaration of the existing laws this subject in said
Territories
Your committee are of opinion, that il is more xpedI-
ent to instruct our Senator'S and request Representa-
tves for declaratoy resolution than for a pro-
hihiory law
FIRST Because while the practical effect of both are
the namely deter saveholders from carrying their
slaves hither, the form and manner of the latter much
offensive the south than that of the former which
(laer) under the of the "Wmot Provso.' has
been the of bitter and danger sectional quar-
rels.
Secondly Because while prohibitory law is the ap-
poprate FORM the of slave Territory, for
pie, the North Western Territory Declaratory Resou-
the proper form the of free territory like New
Mexico and California In the first slavery has to be
excluded IN the second has existence and If any
ton be 1t be only public declaration OF the
fact from authorized source.

while prohbitory law is likely TO fail i'm the Senate
In accordance with these views, the committee recon-
mend the passage of Joint Resolution No. IT, And the
recommend that the other resolutions
