It viii bs that cOngr.. BY this a undsstooL to
cooperate with thoss States which, by Stts legislation.
had nterposed to prevent the nporstion q NEGROES into
This country At that time the casttatana2 pEohbition
TO which have bcforc rsSssd restrained OUnges from

Messrs Latte Co. contempatos the introduction Of
negroes into the United States from Africa either in the
character Of slaves a. apprentices bound to service
labor 1t h CLEARLY in violation of both the letter and
spirit Of the law, and cannot be granted
