TIE RhcoRD OF AisroR4-1AE SOUTH DID MOI
WANT SLAVERY PROTECTED IN TIE TER TERI
But to come back to the point at which the
Senator from Oregon speaks Of the resolutions
introduced by the Senator from Mississippi, Mr.
Davis, had referred to those resolutions te
show that there was no occasion for this imrne
idiase secession without giving the people time
to think or understand what was to be DONE
thought so then, and think 80 now; and wan
TO show what the Senator's views were then
and see what has brought about such chang,
upon his mind since. We find that Will,
those resolutions were under consideration, Mr.
Clingman offered an amendment, to come il
after the fourth resolution, to insert the following
territories of the United States does not requir,
the Intervention of Congress for the protection
of property in slaves 80 a, S. - j, &,

Thus, torty-itree Senator's recorded Their pote du

ltion with other Senators, under the solemn

Icessary to pass laws for the protection Of slave
