Col. Baxter said he regarded this slavery agitation as all humbuggery.

Baxter was not in Congress What a vast amount of money and agitation might have been saved The Col. said if Congress abolished slavery in the District of Columbiahe would not resist; but if slavery was abolished in the Forts and Arsenals he would resist! This may all be right and proper, but one thing is certain, the Col's views are not in accordance with ply the veto to it on the ground of haste, as it was passed after due consideration by Congress It is clear from this what his course will be, provided the next Congress should repeal or essentially modify this law.
