ing a new article to the Constitution,
which when ratified by the requisite
number OF States, shall be valid as a part
Of the Constitution, namely:
Slavery or involuntary servitnde, ex-
Eceptfo the punishment of crime whereof
the party shall have been duly convicted
is forever prohibited in the United States
and all the Territories, and so much of
the article from section eleven of the
Constitution as refers to the delivery up
of persons owning service or labor escap-
ing into another State is annulled Hell
man objected to the second reading, and
the question was shall the resolution be
rejected, this was determined in the neg

point that the vote not beinga two third
one, as required, the result as in effect,
a rejection of the proposition. The
Speaker over ruled the objection,
and the resolution was then read
the second time. Stevens withdrew
the latter part of the proposition, name
~, to annul the fugitive slave law, but
farther proceedings were interrupted by
Washburne announcing the death of his
] colleague, Lovejoy.
