Tie remarkable character, and more remark sble
influence of this celebrated ordinance, will justify
even in the biography Of an individual, thorough
and somew hat extended narrative of its origin, prog
Ie.s and final adoption eli the more, too, when the
individual whose life we are cornmemoratipg. was
largely concerned In breathing into this charter Of
freedom its vital breath.
TIE general character OF this ordinance must be
asur ed 10 be familiar more or less 10 all who in
any Reasonable degree ve1sed in the history of their
country. Yet it may he well doubted whether any
considerable number even the public men of day,
are aware of the many claims to the gratitude Of all
tine which that ordinance in its numerous and divers
but all. benefcent provisions presents. The common
and almost exclusive merit assigned TO that wise and
most provideni organic law-portions Of which have
the form and duration of permanent con,ract-is
supposed to rect in that clause which, BY prohibiting
slavery within the wide region embraced in its pro-
vision, stamped 1t as free for ever-so far as human
legislation can work such result. Great, very great
upspeak able, indeed in importance, is this provision;
but there are others f the first time &c. forth in this
ordinance and recognized duties Of government to-
ward s citizens, which are fit to stand side by side
with tie charter Of freedom. Our purpose therefore,
