Report and minority report of the Select Committee on the communication from the governor relative to the enslaved person, George Latimar. This committee resolved that the slaveholders in the state have a right to the return of their fugitive slaves who were in other states; and that Congress should so pass that act. The minority was more threatening in tone and suggested that the state would be responsible for the enforcement of citizens' rights, not the federal government.
