John Tyler actually said...

"The early and prominent part which the Government of the United States has taken for the abolition of this unlawful and inhuman traffic is well known."

"It has been thought highly important, therefore, to provide for the whole case by a proper treaty stipulation."

"I have the satisfaction to communicate to the Senate the results of the negotiations recently had in this city with the British minister, special and extraordinary."

"If this treaty shall receive the approbation of the Senate, it will terminate a difference respecting boundary which has long subsisted between the two Governments."
