Representatives to whom the bill for
that purpose was referred have reported
against it. They state that they can find

an asylum for offenders committing
crimes against the laws of the United
States, and escaping hither." The report
is signed by Senators Edmunds, Conklin,
Frelinghuysen, Wright, Thurman and
Stevenson.
