, p. 54.
SLAVERY AND THE WAR. 23 ordinance for the government of the territory was reported by a committee of five members, of whom three were from slaveholding States, and two and one of them the chairman were from Vir- ginia alone. "* Indeed, that the great conception of prohibiting slavery in that territory belongs to Jefferson, there can be no doubt, f And that a similar policy, was designed to be pursued, by the framers of our Federal Constitution, we are constrained to believe. The idea, ...that that instrument sjiould ever become the great bul- wark of slavery in this land, perpetuating its existence where already established, and promoting its extension into new terri- tories, would have been most abhorrent, to a large majority of those who assisted in its construction. In their earnest desire, to compact into one united and harmonious government, States so widely separated from each other in social institutions, and geo- graphical boundaries; they did indeed give, in the formation of the Constitution, certain advantages to slavery, which we now can- not but deeply regret ; but it was all with the conviction, that the system would certainly pass away, before the advancing power of civilization and freedom.
