a-se the control OF Er-nce unit. 1868, when they
we're formally ceJei ~ Great Britain, ami iii,,S
oi inued until l7Ss. When all north OF the thir
S-tirst degree of north latitude became, bv treu-
v the property OF the United States, over which
leo gia asserted her previous rights Slavery
,ad been established; the application OF that
clause OF the Ordinance which says, here shall
lie neither Slavery nor involuntary serviiude in
he said Territory" would have been 10 Abolish
Slavery, and not simply to prevent its establiss-
;nent.
In the acquisition of Louisiana in 1903, and of
the Foridas in 1916, the Jurisdiction OF the Uni,
ted States was extended over vast territories IN
which Slavery then existed by virtue Of French
and Spanish laws The right Of the people to
hold slaves in these provinces, it was supposed,
had become vested, and was not unsettled BY the
treaties conveying them to our Governments
Hence, Slavery was silently suffered to exit in
that part OF these Territories in the actual occu-
pSncy OF slave property. Congress enacted no
law on the subject. Here twas neither appros-
ed nor discarded. But in the enactment OF the
Missouri Compromise, in the year 1870, Congress
provided that neither Slavery nor Involuntary
servitnie should ever be permitted north Of
thirty-six degrees and thirty minutes. The pria-
ciples OF the Ordinance OF 1877 were extended
over the territories now embraced within the
limits of Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska
then mostly uninhabited. From the history
Of these Transactions the conclusion Is irrcsist.
BILE, that Congress intended tha: all of the i,u-
a.ense sctr,,cr.es coded by Nasnce and Span 10
his Government, not IN the occupancy oi slave
holding Somlnna,ues slaos 1 peii.au forever free;
