Whereas, the inhibiilng the further
EXTENSION OF SLAVERY in the u. States
is a subject of deep concern to the peo-
pie of this state; and whereas we con-
slider slavery an evil much to be deplor-
ed, and that every constitutional barrier
should be interposed TO prevent it's fur
ther extension: and whereas the consti
tuition of the United States clearly gives
to Congress the right to require new
states, not comprised within the original
boundary ofthe U. States, to make the
prohibition of slavery condition oftheir
admission into the Union: therefore


hesofced, that our Senators be in
structed and our members of congress
requested to oppose the admission ola
State into the Union, Of any territory
not comprised as aforesaid, without max
ing the PROHIBITION OF SLAVERY THEREIN
an indispensable condition of admission
