The President would prefer the preamble as it
is, as substitute for the whole report, leaving
the Constitution silent on the subject Of Slavery
and such property simply under the decision Of
the Dred Scott case. His wish, which he will here
express Is to submit the report as it now stands,
together with proposition for Free State, to IA
vote of the psOpie. Should such proposal not
prevail in the right time, when the case again
comes up Tor final action, will move to amend
the Constitution so as to strike out the clause now
under consideration"
