Unites States and of the several slave-holding-states, is beyond the exercise of legislative control. Your committee further suggests, that if at any future day, the evil complained of becomes too oppressive to be borne, that it will be the peculiar priviledge as well as duty of the slave-holding states themselves to apply such expedients of relief as their information may suggest, and their own interests and safety may require; and in determining the proper time when this great work of policy and benevolence shall commence, they conceive that the states most interested in the result can alone be the proper judges.

Your committee, therefore, ask leave to recommend the following joint resolution to accompany this report:

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Alabama, in General Assembly convened, That the Resolutions of the States of Delaware, Connecticut, Illinois, and Indiana, concurring with a Resolution of the State of Ohio, proposing the emancipation of slaves, passed on the seventh day of January, one thousand, eight hundred and twenty four, together with a Resolution of the State of New Jersey, recommending a system of foreign colonization to be adopted to effect the entire emancipation of slaves, be, and the same are hereby, disapproved by the Legislature of this State; and that his Excellency the Governor be hereby requested to transmit a copy of this resolution and report to the Executive of each of the United States.
