you upon the final settlement, by the Su.

slavery. The right has been established Of every citizen
70 take property including into the Terri

the moral courage TO encounter and despse the opposition
OF the South by vigorous execution OF the laws against
the slave trade but We must add that he could
manifest and fragrant departure from those
treaty obligations which, equally with the municipal
law OF the United States, declare the trade to
illegal and prohibited traffic. Mr. Buchanan subsequently
