[150] _Statutes at Large_, VI. 376.

[151] Among interesting minor proceedings in this period were
two Senate bills to register slaves so as to prevent illegal
importation. They were both dropped in the House; a House
proposition to the same effect also came to nothing: _Senate
Journal_, 15 Cong. 1 sess. pp. 147, 152, 157, 165, 170, 188,
201, 203, 232, 237; 15 Cong. 2 sess. pp. 63, 74, 77, 202, 207,
285, 291, 297; _House Journal_, 15 Cong. 1 sess. p. 332; 15
Cong. 2 sess. pp. 303, 305, 316; 16 Cong. 1 sess. p. 150.
Another proposition was contained in the Meigs resolution
presented to the House, Feb. 5, 1820, which proposed to devote
the public lands to the suppression of the slave-trade. This
was ruled out of order. It was presented again and laid on the
table in 1821: _House Journal_, 16 Cong. 1 sess. pp. 196, 200,
227; 16 Cong. 2 sess. p. 238.
