- Transcription
In regard to slavery, free soil, etc.-questions I presume that you will have to meet, I can only say that to the latter principle we are favorably disposed, and adverse to the former, nevertheless we do not wish a prohibitory clause to attach itself to our territory in relation to that subject.
