THE ORDINANCE OF 87-"An Inquirer
wants to know just what is ''the ordinance Of
49," of which he hears so much in the jour-
nails.
The ordinancevf '87 was an act passed by
the last Contiatal Congress UNDER the old Con-
federationfor the government of the Territory
north west of the Ohio"--that is, of all the
Territory then belonging to the Confederation
In that ordinance the proviso that slavery or
Involuntary servitude, except for crime, should
never be allowed in the Territory, was for the
first time enacted. though it had been drafted
by Thomas Jefferson three years before
That proviso saved what is now Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin from the
curse of slaveholding saved themin spite oil
petition from all the authorities Of Indiana
Territory Gncluding what is now Tllinois) to
be allowed to legalize slayeholding for term
of years, owing to the scarcity of labor. This
petition Congress, on the report Of committee
composed five shareholders out of three, I'M
animously refused to grant, leaving them to
get along as well as they could with free labor
alone. Such was the Popular Sovereignty
| fifty years ago-the sovereignty of the whole
American people over what vitality concerns
them all, and their posterity afterthem.
