In this election the final contest was involved between those who wished to make Illinois a slave state and those who wished to make it a free state, and on this issue the people were not verj unequally divided.
Slavery had existed here ever since 1720, at which time Philip Francis Renault, as agent for the company of St. Phil- lips, introduced it. The company of which he was agent was an offshoot of that established by the celebrated John La\y in 1717. By the distempered imaginations of those ...interested in the Law company, the whole country was looked upon as a mining field for precious metals, and to work the mines 500 slaves were purchased in St. Domingo and transported to the Illinois country. After this theory liad been dispelled, a part of them were employed in working the lead mines of Missouri and Dubuque, while a portion of them were purchased by the French settlers, and the offspring of the latter became the slave population of Illinois down to the time of Governor Coles' election.
