Resolved: the slaveholders of the South, led on by Stephen A. Douglas and their base allies at the North, would repeal the Missouri Compromise to open the flood-gates of slavery upon Kansas and Nebraska. More evidence of the Slave Power: it makes promises only to break them.
The post above is condensed. From the original, word for word
"Resolved, That in the efforts of the slaveholders of the South, led on by Stephen A. Douglas and other of their base allies at the North, to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820, for the purpose of opening the flood-gates of slavery upon the vast territories of Kansas, Nebraska and the Northwest, we have another evidence of the unscrupulous and aggressive character of the Slave Power [...] no confidence is to be placed in the assurances of slaveholding despots, as they only make promises to break them, and enter compacts and compromises, to violate them whenever their real or fancied interest shall dictate."
Between the posts · the narrator, not the paper
March 4. The Senate passes the bill 37 to 14, and it goes to the House. Three weeks later, in Massachusetts, a county anti-slavery society meets and answers it with resolutions of its own.
Two months before the bill passed, a county anti-slavery society meets at Danversport, north of Boston. Charles L. Remond, its president, took part in the Sunday meetings, but the paper says these resolutions were "presented by Isaac Osgood, of Danvers" and "unanimously adopted," so the card is bylined to the society. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 had barred slavery from this territory; repealing it is what the Nebraska bill would do.
