TO THE EDITORS.

During the past winter you published in the In
telligencer an article from EDWARD COLES, Esq,
Of Philadelphia upon the subject of the Ordinance
of 1887. His object was to show that Mr..
JEFFERSON and not Mr.. DANE Gas Mr.. WEBSTER
had supposed the real author of that celebrat-
ed paper
That Mr.. Coles succeeded in establishing the
claims OF Mr.. JEFFERSON to authorship | admit,
but that it adds at all to his fame as statesman
must be allowed to doubt. In the first place, il
must be borne in mind that this Ordinance was
either an act of legislation or a compact. If a
Legislative act, it was null and void, because the
Congress OF 1887 had no authority to pass it. If,
on the contrary it is to be regarded as compact,
it was equally void, because the pretended parties
to it were never consulted
For this we have the authority of Mr.. MADISON,
who, all admit, was much greater constitutional
lawyer than Mr.. JEFFERSON In the 38th number
of the Federast, written by Mr.. MADISON, he says
Congress has assumed the administration of this
stock referrng to the public lands They have begun
to render IT productive Congress has undertaken to do
more They have proceeded to form States to erect
temporary governments to appoint officers for them
and to prescribe the conditions on which the new States
shall be admitted into the Confederacy alludng the
Ordinance An this has been DONE and done scithom the
least color Of constitutional authority"
will further remark that the 9th article of the
ordinance the one relating to slavery was always
treated as nullity in the territory itself At the
time Of the cesson of the territory it was inhabited
almost exclusively by French and Canadian settlers,
who held slaves, and who continued to hold them,
notwithstanding the Ordinance; and the issue Of
many Of them continued to be slaves. Indeed
the States formed out Of the Northwestern Ter
ritory and Congress itself, by THOR various acts
of legislation, establish the fact that the Ordf
nance was regarded as nudity. Moreover, in thu
Constitutions Of the new States formed previously
to their admission into the Union they prohibited
slavery which would not have been done if it hac
been already perptually excluded by the Ordinance
of 1887 But lam not going, Messrs. Editors, tc
discuss this question at this time. My object il
simply to show how Mr.. MADISON regarded this
Ordinance, and 10 deny, as Virginian and de
voted friend of Mr. JEFFERSON, that its authorship
can add to his fame vIRGINIUs.
