and Houstonsnd 1t Is all they could ask there was
still an amendment necessary to make Mr. walker and
Mr.. Norris feel comfortable round the edges; and.
consequently, a motion made to strike out the
the 10th section which prohibits the ter
ritoriaI Lseislstures from PROHIBITING or sssbishipx
slavery, rs to leave them at liberty prohibit L.
But Mr. Berrien whose vote Is aso necessary TO save
