the exclusion or the introduction or slavery ~
in those boundaries.
Resotrtd, That as slavery does not exist ~ -.
and is not likely to be introduced into any q =
territories acquired by the United States frou n
Republic of Mexico, it is inexpedient for Cooe,en
to provide by law either for its introduction intc
its exclusion from any part OF the said terriiorrsa
that appropriate territorial governments ought 10 y
