Rep. Thomas Nelson advocates that the agitation over slavery cease. He argues that politically and geographically the question of slavery has already been answered, and calls "disunionists" within the House to join across political and geographic boundaries. He supports that resolution which says no member of the House of Representatives may be elected Speaker unless he supports the Missouri Compromise.
