to all persons within its exclusive jurisdiction
that as our republican fathers, when they abol
ished slavery in all our National Territory
ordained that no person shall be deprived o

law, it becomes our duty tc maintain this pro
vision of the Constitution against all attempts
to violate it for the purpose of establishing
Slavery in the Territories of the United

ing lis existence or extension therein

humanity, we arraign that Administration, the
President, his advisers, agents, supporters, ap-

REsoLvEp, That a railroad to the Pacific
Ocean by the most central and practicable
