Mr.. Wilson was ready to carry out eve
provision of the Constitution, but was opl
sed to the existence of Slavery i'll the u
tricl of Columbia or in the Territories of
United States, and he and those who act
with him were determined to abolish
there. They believed they shared the
sponsibility of its existence wherever It "
under the control Of Congress, and they I
sired to relieve themselves Of that respor
bilitv. He earnestly desired the pcrpctu
or the Union, and thought that if this Flu
tive Slave law should he repealed, that
provisions of the Constitution would be C
ried out by the States themselves.
Mr.. Weller said that If Mr., Wilson "
disposed to carry out the provisions OF
Constitution he would 90 hand in hand W
him. He had heard him charged with bel
a disunionist. He was glad that such v
not the case.
