Summary
Report of the Joint Committee on the Wilmot Proviso which objected to the limitation of slavery in the District of Columbia and territories of the United States.
Note
"The General Assembly of Virginia, regarding what is known as the "Wilmot Proviso" as a law in palpable disregard of the compromises of the Constitution, did, on the 8th day of March, 1847, adopt a series of resolutions distinctly indicating the course which the State of Virginia would pursue, in the event of its passage by the Congress of the United States, as applicable to territory to be acquired from Mexico : And, whereas the present General Assembly have seen with deep concern, a disposition manifested by the House of Representatives of the United States, to violate the principles embodied in said resolutions, and, to make still further aggressions upon the rights of the Southern States: Under these circumstances, this General Assembly deem the occasion fit to re-affirm said resolutions."--Page 1.
