Ia 1884 Virginia ceded to the United
States her claim to the territory north
west of the river Ohio.
In 1885 Massachusetts, ccded and re-
rinquished all claim to the territory wirh-
in her charter, west Of a particular line
mentioned in her deed oil cession.
In 1886 Connecticut ceded her claim
to the territory called the Western Re-
serve.
1t must be remarked. Mr.. President,
that not one ofthese deeds Of cession con-
tanned provision or condition that slav-
cry should not be admitted in the terri
tory thus transferred to the United
States.
The praise, therefore, which the hon.
orable gentleman from Pennsylvania be-
slowed upon Virginia, for her philanthro-
py in interdicting slavery in the territory
north-wes, of the river Chic, was alto
gcthcr undeserved.
In 1887 Congress passed the celebra-.
ted ordinance about which SO much has
been said. This ordinance is entitled,
"An ordinance for the government of
the territory OF the United States north.
west Of the river Ohio" and, among
other things, ordains and declares certain
articles Of compact between the original
States and the people and States OF the
said territory, and forever to remain un-
alterable, except by common consent !:
the 9th Of which articles of compact de-
clares, "'That tVere shall be neither slav-
cry nor involuntary servitude in the said
territory, otherwise than in the punish
ment of crimes" In 1888 Virginia
ratified the, 5th of these articles of COM
pact contained in the ordinance of '87;
but said nothing about any oil tie other
articles.
In August, 1889, the form ofgovcrn-
ment having been altered, ard the arti.
cIes of confederation having been ex-
changed for our present constitution,
Congress passed 2 law, adapting the or
diEance of '87 to the new government.

cd that the house would not st this time
give its appreciation to proposition such
as Mr.. Randolph had offered, that he
hd contented himself with the very In
lerior one which he had submitted.
Mr.. Hazard, of Rhode Island, did not
rise to say much on subject, which he
said he could scarcely trust himself to
speak on at all. But he rose to offer his
thanks to the gentleman from Virginia
and the gentleman from South Carolina,
in behalf of the name of Perry--to thank
them in behalf of the state which gave
him birth; to thank them in the name of
his amiablc widow; to thank them in
the name Of their common country.
The resolution was adopted and,
On motion of MIR. Randolph, COM
mittee of three was appointed to bring in
bill in pursuance thereto.
NEW STATES BILL.
The House resumed the consideration
Of the amendments of the Senate TO the
Maine Bill proposing to incorporate
therein the Missouri bill, embracing the
amendment called the compromise, &C.,
The amendments having been read:
Mr.. Randolph delivered speech of
more than two hours length, against the
feature OF the amendments of the Senate,
which proposes to exclude the further
migration or transportation of slaves into
any of the territories of the United
States north of SO deg. 80 min. North
Latitude.
Mr.. Rhea commenced speech; but,
from the lateness of the hour, after two
or three unsuccessful divisions on mo-
tons tor the purpose, the House adjour-
ned.

The debate IN Congress on the Mis-
souri, Question has elected much inlor.
nation respecting the history, the policy
and effect OF certain measures long ago
adopted.
The followingis taken from speech
OF Mr.. Louvre, of Penn. in the Senate.
Vermont was not like any Of the 9TH
er States. Her history is briefly this -
The territory was claimed both by New
York and New-Hampshire. In 1876
2. New-Hampshire granted 1873 town
ships west of the Connecticut river.
New. York became alarmed at this pro-
ceeding, applied for the territory to the
British government, and obtained de-
cision in her favor. She then endeavor.
ed to dispossess the settlers who claimed
under the New. Hampshire grants. But
her authority was resisted on the part of
Vermont, and for twenty y-six years this
new State maintained her ground. In
this contest, the old Congress pursued
antlndecidcd course. In the meantime,
Vermont declared itself independent, and
so continued till the year 1876, when
commissioners were appointed by this
State and by New-Y York, who finally a.
greed, that Vermont should be admitted
into the Union on two conditions the
one related to her boundaries, and the
other required the payment of $4,000
to New York, within four years from
that period.
The following extracts from the
Speech Of Mr.. Senator Walker, OF Geor-
gia. contain some interesting particulars
relative to the ordinance of '87.
will in the first place call the attcn.
ton of the Senate to the ordinance of '97,
which has been so, emphatically styled,
by the honorable gentleman from Penn.
sylvania, the immortal ordinance.
\ brief history of the circumstances
which led to, and were attendant upon,
the passage and adoption. OF this osdi.
nance, viii, l trust, justify the opinion ]
have formed, that it is an instrument not
entitled to the high commentator
which has been bestowed upon II.
In the year 1880, Congress recon.
mended to the States having claims to
waste and unappropriated lands in the
Western Country, liberal cession to
the United States Of a portion oftheir re
spective claims, for the common benefit;
the territory to be thus ceded, to b'
formed into distinct republican States,
having the same rights Of sovereignty
freedom, and independence, with othei
States.
In 1871 the State of New York limi.
ted and defined her western boundary.
and ceded and relinquished to such
States as then were, or should thersaI(e.
become parties to the articles of confede.
ration. all her right, title and claim t
lands and territories to the northward anc
westward Of the boundary thus limited
and ds6ned.
