there by Mr.. Ogden, clothed In a series OF reso-
lutions in favor Of abolition Of slavery In the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The resolutions were advo-
Gated by Mr.. Pryne, but were opposed by
Messrs. Murphy, Lewis and other gentlemen,

vote itself to the business Of the State and let the
District Of Columbia alone, for the present. The

ti7ns Committee.

AN EARNEST PROTEST AGAINST THE ABOLITION
BILL FOR THIS DISTRICT, NOW BEFORE CONGRESS.
Because:
LIST. IL contains no provision to take the sense
Of the resident people Of this District, which ID
due to them under the guarantees, express and
implied, Of the Constitution, and the act Of ces.
sion by MARYLAND and acceptance by Govern i.
ment, and lately enunciated by the President
also due to them for their general loyalty lately
evinced by their protection afforded TO the inau-
guration, without which It could not have taken
place here.
ID. II makes no provision for the aged, the
young, the sick, the helpless and imbecile, who
are numerous among the slaves, and would be
thrown out upon the charity Of the world.
3D. Ii makes no provision for the removal OF
the free people Of color now In our midst, and
whose presence is constituting very great nuis-
ance, and whose numbers win be greatly In
creased by this act
Attn. 1t gives inadequate compensation t6own.
ers Of slaves, the maximum average Of 1900 being
not one-third Of their real value This IL an in
justice and violation Of the Constitution, which
for6ids the taking OF private property without
full compensation.
5th. To pass such bill at this juncture would
be contrary TO the planest dictates Of policy and
craftsmanship for both dictate that in civil wars
frmness and vigor In the suppression Of rebellion
should be accompanied by Cancellation to the dis
affected and assurance to the loyal. This war is
professed to be waged only 10 restore the Union,
and not for abolition; and as such il has been
tanned by the Union men Of the South. Pass this
BILL and II will be impossible to convince them
that IL Is not an abolition war, and thereby great
difficulties will be raised In the suppression of
tneIeDelliOD ana the future maintenance OF peace.
9th The act would place thorn in the side of
Maryland, a loyal State whose wishes should be
consulted, particularly she has done nothing 10
forfeit her claim to consideration; the contrary,
whose quota Of troops are now aiding to suppress
the rebellion.
7th. 1t would be cruel injustice TO the country
people around u.s. to take away their slaves at but
a third Of their value and the payment at a dis
lance, at a time when they are Impoverished and
nearly ruined by the depredations Of the military
encamped in this neig hborhood, their fences and
timber burned, their outhouses destroyed, their
stores Of grain, vegetables and provender taken
from them, and all without compensation, and
without any provision vet made by Government

a kind, paternal Government
