Synopsis
Excerpt from Desultory Remarks on the Question of Extending Slavery Into Missouri: As Enunciated During the First Session of the Sixteenth Congress, by the Representative From Chester County, State of Pennsylvania
When measures of this character are seriously advocated in the Republican Congress of America in the Nineteenth Century, the several States are invoked by the duty which they owe to the Deity, by the veneration which they entertain for the memory of the Founders of the Republic, and by a tender regard for Posterity, to protest against its adeption, to refuse to covenant with crime, and to limit the range of an evil that already hangs in awful boding ever so large a portion of the Union.
