bia:
Fellow Citizens 9th Senate and House
of Representatives;
The aot entitled nm act for the release OF
certain persons held to service or labor in
she District of Columbia, has this day boen
approved and signed. have nevor doubted
she constitutional authority OF Congress to
abolish Slavery in The District, and have
ever desired to soc tho National Capital
freed from tho institution in somo satisfac
sorry way. Hence there has never been in
my mind any question on the subject except
ono of expediency arising in view OF all cir.
cumstances. Ii there be matters within aud
about this aot, which might have taken the
course or shape more satisfactory to my
judgmentI do not attempt to specify thom.
am gratilied that the truo principles OF
eompeDsation and coloniZ Ltion arc both ro'
oognissd and practically applied in this act.
In the matter of compensation, 1t is prOVi'
ded that claims may be presented within
ninety days OF the passage of the act, but
not thereafter, and there is no salVo for mi
nors, femme CoVerts, insane or absent per
sops. presume thiS is sn omission by mere
overslght, and l recommend that il be sup
piled by an amondatory or supplements
act. (Siguodl
