House doc. (Michigan. Legislature. House of Representatives) ; 1850, no. 21.

Report of a minority of the Michigan House Committee on Federal Relations about an extension of slavery to territories of the United States. The report concludes, "But inasmuch as our delegation in Congress have publicly acknowledged the binding force of the resolutions passed by the last Legislature of this State, instructing them to use all honorable means to extend the principles of the Wilmot or Jeffersonian Proviso over the recently acquired territories of New Mexico and California--thereby preventing the possibility of slavery being extended over them, the undersigned is of opinion, and does therefore recommend, that no legislative action on said resolutions is called for at the present time." (Page 2). The report is signed by T.E. Gidley.
