BY declared as the sense of this National

der the Constitution, to le.islute upon the

tabIlsh or prohibit slavery in any Territory.
II Is the sense Of the National Council that
Congress ought no, to !egisa,e upon the
subject OF slavery within the Territory of the
United States. and that any Interference by
congress with slavery, as It exists in the
District of Columbia, would be a violation
OF the spirit and intention of the compact
by which the State Of Maryland cedcd the
District to the United States, and breach
OF the natioua! faith.
Mll.-rhe policy Of the Government, Of

restraining, by all the power of tho Govern.
ment, all It's citizens from Interference with
The internal concerns OF nations with whom
we are at peace.
