on motion of Mr.. Trumbull, the joint
resolution in regard to afordipg aid TO the
States in favor OF emancipation was taken
up.
Mr. Salisbury said this was most ex-
traordinary resolution in its purpose, and in
the source from whence il came. 1t was
mschievous in its tendency, and he was not
sure that it was at all patriotic in design
1t was ignoring all the principles hitherto Of
the party in power. 1t was an interference
with the subject OF slavery in the States--
None Of the slaveholding States asking aid.
He believed that the President had this
thing in contemplation for some time The
Legislature OF bis State (Delaware) had been
in session lately and printed bill had found
its way there offering Delaware $e,OOO.0 COO
for emancipation of her slaves, and the Leg
islature rejected it. The object oi this bill
is simply to renew and intensity the sgita-
tion OF the slavery question in the border
States, and to raise an abolition party there.
He would like some member OF the Judi.
ciary committee to show him any authority
in the Constitution for thus applying money
to the States. This bill presents the view
of the Government going into the wholesale
negro trading business. The State of Del
aware will never accept OF this bill, but the
true Union people Of the State will GO before
the people upon it, and there will not be a
vestige OF the Republican party left there.
Mr.. Davis offered an amendment as sub
stitute for the resolution:

in the States is exclusively in the jurisdiction

pie Of the States, and cannot be intertered

little to the amendment OF Mr.. Davis. for
