Mr. Speaker,
I rise in support of this act and in opposition to Mr. Jay's amendment. I feel compelled to reiterate that slavery is a terrible evil and a scourge on the Earth. And yet, if we sought to abolish it in one state, what is to stop this government from imposing it on another?
The admittance of Kentucky into the Union should be a joyous occasion not marred by the bitter and partisan fight over that wretched institution.
I yield.
