Robinson of Hlghgate opposed it. Third read
ing refused .t
. The select committee to which was referred
5 so much of the Governors message as relates to
slavery, submitted report with accompanying
resolutions, against slavery and the slave trade.
r Mr.. Sherwood of Fairfield said resolutions were
harmless things, and he would not say word
, unless they had implicated the administration.
Who is the head of that? Why james Buchan-
an, who has been our representative in foreign
countries, who has filled the highest Offices in
} the land, who was the associate of Webster,
t Clay, jackson and Everett. Is it not strange
, it was never found out before that he was in
favor of the slave trade How is this? Why,
} we have IL new set of men. We have Wilson,
t Sumner, Burlingame and Banks, if the House
will believe them, they are at liberty to do it.
He was sorry the administration was implicated
as conniving at that trade. Of course, you
could not get along without saying something
, about the niggers. He expected it, though
, the House had said it all last year. 1t said
enough to disgrace it, but seemed it was not
: enough. Resolutions adopted, yeas 1913, nays

e The bill exempting one yoke Of oxen or steers,
with forage for keeping, was passed-yeas l23,
