THE ORDINANCE OF 1887.

| discussion having arisen in the public prints
as to the authorship of certain important provisions
embraced in the Ordinance of 1887 for the govern
ment Of the Western Territory, now constituting
several States of the Union, and especially in
regard q that celebrated provision which forever
excluded slavery from that vast and fertile region,
our ellow-townsman, PETER FORCE, Esq, has pre-
pared from authentic materials the article which APP
pears on the preceding page From this careful
exposition it seems clear that Mr.. WEBSTER was
right when, in his celebrated speech on Foot's
Resolution" he ascrbed the authorship (if not the
original conception of the clause above specified
to NATHAN DANE, of Massachusetts,
1t happens that, in seeking among the archives of
all the old States, and among numerous private collec
tons, for materials for his vouminous work, Ameri
can Archives" Mr.. Force became possessed of the
original projects and reports submitted to Congress
respecting plan of government for the Northwest
ern Territory, from the first step in 1884 to 1887,
when the Ordinance was finally adopted. He has
the copy of the Ordinance of 1887, with all its al
terations marked on it, while under consideration,
Just it was amended at the Presidents table,
amongst which the clause respecting slavery remains
attached to it, as an amendment, in Mr.. Danes
handwriting, in the exact words in which it now
stands in the Ordinance. From these materials,
together with the official journals of the body, Mr.
ForE has compiled the narrative which we now
insert; and; his materials being thus authentic, we
must receive it as settling the question. He has
AIKEN this trouble for the sake Of historic truth and
ACTIN
# the subject, and the further reason that we have
lven currency to versions of the transaction which
10 injustice to the dead, have induced us cheerfuy
o yield to it the large share of our space which it
occupies.
