James Madison tells why the Anti-Sla
very Proviso was Incorported in tht
Ordinance of 1877.

Ordinance Of 1787.
In the same letter from which we quote
above, Mr.. Madison says:
81 have observed, as yet, in none of the
views taken of the Ordinance of 1887, inter-
dieting Slavery Northwest of the Ohio, an al
fusion to the circumstance that when it passed,
Congress had no authority to prohibit the I'M
p~ortation of SLAVES from abroad-that all the
States had, and some were in the full exercise
of the right to import them; and consequently
that there was no mode in which Congress
could check the evil, but the indirect one of
narrowing the space open for the reception of
slaves.
"Had a federal authority then existedt to pro-
hibit, directly and totally the importation from
abroad, can it be doubted that it would have
been exerted, and that a regulation having
merely the effect of preventing the interior
disposition of slaves actually in the United
States, and creating a distinction among the
States IN the degrees of their sovereignty, would
not have been adopted, or perhaps thought OF"
We hope that gentlemen who now strive to
make distinctions among the States in the de-
gress of their sovereignty will remember that
James Madison, one of the fathers of the Con-
stitution, has said that the prohibition in the
Ordinance of 1887, would never have been
thought of, if all the States had not had the
right, and if many OF them had not been en-
gagged in the full exercise of the right to i'm
port slaves from Africa. As they have no such
right now, and have not had for fifty years, of
course the prohibition of slavery, Having mere

Hear General Harrison.

In a letter to President Monroe, dated North
Bend, June 16, 1918, General Harrison gave
this opinion of the slavery agitation:
al am persuaded that the obvious tendency
of interference on the part of the States which
have no slaves with the property of their fol
low. citizens of the others is to produce a state
of discord and Jealousy that will in the end
prove fatal to the Union. I believe in no 9TH

ments entertained as in Ohio"

President Monroe's Veto Messag

-
Pres; dent Monroe had resolved to veto the
Missouri Compromise of 1920, and was only
restrained by the urgent appeal of the absolute
necessity of some measure, constitutional or
otherwise, to allay the terrible excitement
which-demasogues had raised throughout the
country. The following is extracted from the
frst draught of the message, as it is still pre-
served in President Monroe's own hand-wri-
ting:
"The proposed restriction to territories which
are to be admitted into the Union, it not an d.
rect v~iozation Of the Constitution, IS REPUG
NANT TO IT'S PRINCIPLES, since it is in
tended to produce an effect on the future policy
of thenew States, operating unequally upon
them in regard to the original Substituting

such injury by the Constitution, without bene-
fling any State in the Union"

Mn.ASD Mrs. wA1LEa's BESEFrr.ETo-nig

MR.ASD MRS. WALLER's BESEFTT.-To-night
!, the WALTERS present themselves before the
public for benefit. We trust they will re-
ceive one commensurate with their deserts.
They have chosen the play Of the duchess
of Malt" for the evenings entertainment.
AS we stated yesterday, this is an old play,
written by one WEBSTER a couple of centuries
and half ago, which has been rescued and
r,juvenated for the modern stage. con-
temporary says of it and its representation:
"The impression it made upon was,
that while Webster's pen was but the machine
through which nature spoke, the Walters
were nature itself revived. When the 'coun-
terfeit presentment , of life becomes so vivid
ly natural that you gaze upon it and fail to
detect a single incongruity in the semblance,
their acting is above criticism and invites
only sympathy. There is something terribly
enchanting in this play. Like Dante's great
poem. it carries the auditor along upon the
avalanche of its sublimity and terror, and be
is past resistance, If he should attempt It,"
The play was revived by a London Mana
ger in 1850, and has only been presented in
this country by the WALTERS. From these
and many other notices we are led to antci-
p1te that the duchess of Malf' will be per-
formed tonight, in style that will call forth
the most enthusiastic interest ofthe audience.
WereDeat our hope that the benefit will be
worthy of the a complished benehciaries.
