Unbound. Condition: Good. Single sheet (2 pages), disbound from a larger work. A collection of statements issued by the legislature of Texas, rejecting the (Wilmot) Proviso that would have excluded slavery from territories acquired during the Mexican-American War. The authors consider slavery to be a "domestic institution," of the United States, and state that they would "not submit to any law which prohibits the citizens of the southern states from taking their property to any territory which may be acquired from Mexico." The document urges support for the war through tariffs and other means. GOOD condition. Minor to moderate uneven foxing. Some creasing and roughness along the spine edge.
