Mr, Wasnnvrse reptied be wound cortainly not object to euch a change in the constitacion as would give power vo the federal government to do what Jefferson, Madison and General Scott desired to co, namely, to ameliorate the condition of slavery, even to emuncipation; but ne id not think it wise now for the government to exercise such power.
