“Unsolved, That the committee appoin
ted on so much of the message of the presi
dent of tlie.U. S.as relates tothe unlawful
introduction of slaves into the U., States,
lie- instructed to enquireTnto tlie expedien
cy of passing a law prohibiting the migra

interest in his part of the country, and, at,
the resolution only proposed an enquiry '
iie hoped i! would not be objected tor .
Mr. Poindexter, ofMississippi, objected
to it. Aiiy man, he saidfhad a right to ro :
move his property- from one state to anoth
er, anil slaves as Well as any -other proper
ty, if not prohibited from doing so by the
state laws. With those laws, whatever
they were, the U. States, he said, had
right to interfere. The idea was a perfectly
novel one, that ther^ shodld be a double
set of penal statutes tin the same' subject,
one set by tlie states and oue by the United
States; and that the millitary force of the
United States should be employed to car-:
ry into effect the ptinal statute of any state.
How were the United States ta interfere
on this subject? . What judical tribunal
would they resort to, to effect the'object
contemplated? . Any penal statute they
could pass on the subject,- Mr... P. said,'
would be entirely nugatory, as it could nol
be-carried itiitu effectj'aiid he was therefore
Mr. Colston, of Viiginia, in addition t.,
