That act authorises the president to
lirect the armed vessels of the United
Suites to intercept, on tne coast of Africa
or elsewhere, any vesst G engaged in the
slave (ratle, ami bring them into the Unit

to prevail on some one nf those who vnt>'d

vote. It is proper to state, that though as
much opposed as any one to the lestric-
ticn, proposed to be imposed i-h slavery
in toe new state, the Dulc/ate from tn-
preseni territur)' ol Mi-souri used his best
exertions to obtain the passage of the hill
■villi that feature, rather than postpone its
passage for another year. He failed in
