Washington statue petition and civil rights debates in Senate
In the Senate the contest over slavery and fugitive slave laws dominates. Petitions seek Washington statue funding and abolition of flogging and Navy rum. Resolutions propose California statehood terms, Texas borders, and limits on slavery in the District of Columbia alongside broader measures on fugitive slave matters and territorial governance. Numerous speeches weigh compromise, with Mason, Davis, Clay, and Foote among actors as adjournment follows.
