After the Missouri Compromise had been repudated

Mexico (says OF Georgas distinguished statesmen
Mr. Warner "the South voted for the massachusetts
BILL which contains the principles OF nonnteryen

in the United States in regard to the common territory Of
the Union--he principle Of the constitution which
recognises the equal rights OF the people OF all the States
to the enjoyment Of the territory This feature
of the act ought to maintained alone because il

refers it. and before remarked you remove its agi
