I was not then in the House, being detained at home by sickness ; but if I had been present I would not have supported him, because I knew him to be as inflexibly true to slavery as any man in Con gress, and that no pledge with such a man behind it could have the least value. The other Free-Soil members, however, with the exception of Mr. Root, were in favor of giving him their votes if he would make the required pledge, and Messrs. Wilmot and King were appointed a committee to wait on him and ...obtain such pledge in writing. Mr. Brown replied as follows : WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 15, 1849. DEAR SIR, In answer to yours of this date I will state that should I be elected Speaker of the House of Representatives I will constitute the committees on the District of Columbia, on the Territories, and on the Judiciary in such manner as shall be satisfactory to yourself and your friends. I am a representative of a Free State, and have always been opposed to the extension of slavery, and believe that the Federal Government should be relieved from the responsibility for slavery where they have the constitutional power to abolish it.
