The resolutions were all pointed & severe...we consider all attempts to induce congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia...as unwise, inexpedient & incendiary..." with more (see for portions). This report takes over half of the issue, or more than 8 pages. Various opinions on the slavery issue are presented.
