The right of petition is secured to the people by the

Mr. Pierce while a member Of Congress. short

following logical reasoning Indiana Journal.
Gen Pierce, during his service in the United States
Senate always voted TO receive abolition petitions and
lay them on the table. He opposed to egislating
the subject of slavery and therefore, voted against
taking any action on them. This gave mortal ofense
to such Wings John Quincy Adams, who was in
favor of abOshing slavery in the District Of Columbia
We expect such Wings John ID. Defrees and John
