Believing that the circumstances under which they have been cast upon
the compassion of the country are not embraced by the provisions of the
act of Congress of 3d March, 1819, or of the other acts prohibiting the
slave trade, I submit to the consideration of Congress the expediency of
a supplementary act directing and authorizing such measures as may be
necessary for removing them from the territory of the United States and
for fulfilling toward them the obligations of humanity.
