When this amendment was' offered by Mr. Chase it stood in the position of an amendment to an amendment. The n shows that Mr. Pratt, of Maryland, a...ppealed to Governor Chase to accept an additional amend- ment, by inserting the words "or introduce" after the word "prohibit, " so that it would read that the people of a Territory might prohibit or introduce slavery. Governor Chase's amendment being an amendnmet to an amendment, the propo- sition of Mr. Pratt was out of order.
