well calculated to disturb the peace of our ropntry,
and should call forth the earnest and prompt dsap-
probation of every friend of the Union.

gress which shall directly indirectly deprive the
citizens of any of the States of the right Of emigat
ing with their slave property into any of the territo
ries of the United States, and of exercising owner
ship over the while in said territories, will be
an act only of gross injustice and wrong, but the
exercise of power contrary to the true meaning and
spirit of the Constitution, and contemplated by
the trainers thereof.
| Resoired, That while we do not intend hereby to
be understood conceding that Congress has the
power under the Constitution to enact law prohib
ting slavery in any portion Of the territories of the
United States yet, for the sake of preserving the
peace and promoting the perpetuty of the Union we
are willing that the basis of the Missouri ompro-
mise should be adopted in reference to the ecenty
acquired territories of New Mexico and California
by extending the line then agreed upon to the Paci-
fc Ocean. -
