States from the Union
These resolutions confirm what we have urged. Tie
southern people wills at every hazard resist the repeal Of
the fugitive law or the abolition OF slavery in this Dis
trict The truth IL, the way to maintain the Union in
its glory is this: first, carry out the whole Compromise
in good faith and. second. abstain from all further agA-
