Text of a state resolution ordering Maine citizens to withhold from interfering in the laws of other states. The legislature argued that slavery was unknown in Maine (a free state) but that it was not Maine's business to be concerned with what other states were doing. Maine was essentially taking a neutral position on slavery and urging her citizens not to become abolitionists.
