Mr.. Dunn's Resolutions in the House of
Representatives.
FIRST RESOLUTION.

FIRST RESOLUTION.
ReSoloed, That, regarding the political complex
ion of the present House of Representatives as in
dicating the undoubted sentiment Of large ma
jority of the people of the United States against
the act of the last Congress repeating the restrc-
ton against slavery in the Territories of Kansas
and Nebraska, imposed by the Compromise Of
1920, no man ought to be chosen Speaker Of this
body who does not fully and heartily harmonic
with that sentiment or who will hesitate to exert
himself earnestly for the restoration Of that re
striction in terms or in substance.

THIRD RESOLUTION.
ResolUed, That useless and factous agitation
OF the slavery question, in or out of Congress is
unwise, unjust to portion of the American peo-
ple and to some extent injurious to every section
OF our county, and therefore it should not bs
countenanced; but until the Missouri restriction OF
1920 shall have been restored, in fact or in snb-
stance, to the said Territories Of Kansas and Ne
braska fully and completeiy to that extent and
for that purpose it is solemn duty to the past,
the present, and the future steadily and firmly to
persist in our efforts
