Page 2

I have no patience with so reckless a trifling
with the inestimable interests at stake!

Section 2 contains a provision which
I like for the present exigences, although it is
obnoxious to some objections, It will tend to
recommend the adjustment to the North, no
doubt,

Section 3 is going to be, I fear, Causa
termina
. One of our much conservative men is
beginning to roar about "[branding?] the
institution" &c, because the right of transit
is expressly denied. Not content with enjoying
in Penna, or Massth, all the privileges
which a citizen of this state enjoys, they
insist on carrying with them the privileges
of their domicil. Dear lovers, as they are,
of State-rights, they would patronize only the
rights of their own States.

Section 7 is complained of because the
government is not to pay the expenses of the
pursuit, as well as the value of the slave.
