From the Ccntincl of the North.lVtjltrn Territory.
'
CINCINNATI,,February 20.
At a meeting of a number of the inhabitunts of the
Townlhip of Columbia, at the house of Mr.
William Stanley, on Monday the 25th of Janu
ary 1796, pursuant to public notice.
Judge Goforth being placed in the Chair, amo
tion was macje for reading the ordinance Qt Con
gress for the government of the North Weflern
Territory, which being done, a motion was made
- that a committee be appointed to examine the said
' Ordinance, arid inquire into tfce grievances of the
citizens, when judge Goforth,. Mr.'Wm. Brown,
Mr. Daniel Lambert, Mr. Jofjjph Readerand Capt.,
'Ephraim Kibbey, <vere a committee appointed lot
the purposes aforefaid, and .were inftru&cd Jo re
port tt> the citizens on Monday the .firft day of
February next ensuing at 4 o'clock P. M, at the
house of Mr. Wis. Stanley, to which <itvie and
i. 1 place the meeting adjourned.
. Monday, j;
The irfhabitants met agreeably tp adjournment.
The Rev John Smith being placcd iu the
the committee appointed at the former meeting,
1 deliveted their report in writing, which was-twice
read, and it as follo'ws, viz.
Mr. Chairman, ,
Your committee agreeably to yoiir appointment
and ir.ftruftions of the 25th ult. have devoted as
much of the small portion of tiwe allotted them to
examine the Ordinance of Congrefj of the 13th of
July, one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven
and to inquire into the grievances of the citizens of
the North Western Territory.
Your committee are well aware that you have
placed them in a peculiar dilemma, on the one hand
if they should not speak with the firmnefs and li
berality becoming citizens, you would not hesitate
, to chatge 'them with . tarnilbing the glory of the
' American charadler ; and view them as having de
generated to the despicable rank of flatres and iyc
ophants—and on the other hand, ihould tbey speak
with faithftllncfs aud candor, they are sure to be
enveloped in the fulminating tempests of their poli.
tical superiors, and their minions. "
Your committee are of opinion, that the citizens
of the North Western Territory, do by virtue; of
the aforefaid Ordinance, ftiflaiu a deprivation of thr
rights of fceemeo; and that by the movements of
the executive and legislative departments, they have
been neglected, aggrieved and insulted.
First, The Ordrnanee coniifts of two parts, the
firlt is a platform for the governmeiit of the North
Weflerii T ern'tory, the fecowd is, a foJemn and un
alterable compact, entered into by the general go*
vernment, with the citizens then among themselves,
whose intrepidity might induce them, to migrate to
this remote region.
Cxngrefs at that period it of national
importance, that a Lodgement should be made North
Weft of the -Ohio, and viewing it more advanta
geous to the firft adventurers, that they should for
a time surrender their, ele&ive privileges, than that
they should come forward destitute of law and go
vernment, proposed the aforefaid Ordinance, back
ing it at the fame time, with th<?
whichjhe hcrtjoc-and "<if oouna ■
to perTorm, in which they have divided the Terri-j
tory into states, and described their boundary lines.
Thcjrappcar not to wish to enslave the inhabitants
of the Territory, thereby to raise up a number of
degenerated citizens, who might be ufeArl in the'
•hands of defig<niflg men to subvert and overturn the 1
general government, so far from' it, that they have,
declared in the fifth article of thecompadf, that
" whenever any of the said states shall have fijity
thousand free inhabitants therein, fueh (late shall
be admitted by its t delegates into the Congress of
the United States, on an equal footing with theo
riginal states in all refpedls whatever and shall be
at liberty to form a permanent constitution and state
government" the Congress have carried the matter
in the fame article of the compact, they go
on to fay, "to far as it can be consistent with the
general interest of the confederacy, such admifllon
shall be allowed at an earlier period, and when there
may be alefs number of free inhabitants in the state
th*n sixty thousand.'' And as the federal constitu
tion, which is of later date than the Ordinance, has
determined that the number of repreTtntatives in
the union shall be as.one to thirty thousand citizens, '
and as it cannot be supposed that Congress wish to I
curtail the; privileges of those citizens, who at eve- 1
ry rifle have extended their poffefTions, the prefump- 1
tion is, that if we have thirty thousand free inhabi- 1
tants within any of our Territorial states, they will 1
cheerfully restore us to the rights of freemen; but 1
it seems to be the opinion of Tome of the best in- 1
formed citizens, that if the backpolh are given up '
we shall have sixty thousand -fools in the eastern :
state within a year. It is true Congress by the firft 1
article of the Ordinance, have a right,, if they 2
choose to exereife it, to divide the Territory into f
two dill rids j but the moment any of the states in c
the Territory have sixty thousand free inhabitants, c
they are no longer bound by the division, it is then 8
they are to experience a refimeaion to the enjoy
ments of the rights of freemen—and the faith of f
the United States is concerned in its completion,
and your committee have no doubt, but Cancels
would glory in effe£Hng it. "
Congress have evinced their great regard For our t
lafety. and well being, having expeaded the whole Eli
revenue of the union for several years, in order to f
afford us ample proteflion, which.detpand« eur ac-/ (
knowledgments & gratitude-and your committee b
are ot opinion, that the inhabitants of the Territ#- h
ry havi to complain of one fiagjft ittftance, in c
which they have been aggrieved by the general go- i'
vernment, which they deem it their duty to men- t
H : !" V h# ordinarice we find these words, « there -a
shall also be appointed a court to consist of three t
judges, any two of whom to form 5 court," since -
which we are taught by the declaration of theiud*- n
cs, and their pr.ft.ee, that one judge forms a court, a
By what fatality the alteration could have taken ji
place, without the acqmcfcence, or even the know- e
ledge of the people so unmediately interested, your b
committee presume not to divine «, but by the alp
teration, the property and lives of the citizens are o
suspended on the judgment of a fieglt ma „. j; y d
tlie Ordinance it appears, that the inhabitants of
■. the Territory are placed under governours who are
in every sense independant of the peoplu—that they
are governed by laws, without participating in the
e privilege of choosing their representatives, and that
. they are deprived of the benefit of the high court
- of chancery, which is deemed so eflentially necessary
to the interests of the several Hates in the union.
- and would be immediately so to the people of this
- Territory especially, when it is considered that the
i firft judge of the fapreme court, is perhaps, th~' 1
e greatell land jobber on the face of the earth, and
i must eventually, either mediately, or immediately,
t feel himfelf interested in many, -if not most of the ;
, legal decisions refpe&ing lauds laying between the
~ Miami rivers. These things your committee coft
r elude, will juftify the afiertion, to wit, that the in
- habitants of the Territory, fuftum a deprivation of
f the rights of freemen.
: Secofls)ly» is.the opinion of-your committee,
I that by the frequent and long absence of the exe
cutive and high judicial officers of the Territory,
by the infrequency of their fitting in their legifla
, live capacities and the chasms in the proceedings of
, the supreme or general court, the people have lan
, guifhed for want of legislation, and fuffered many
: inconveniencies for want of the due execution of
law, and consequently, that they have been neg
ledted.
t Thirdly, your committee are of opinion, ftfat the
; citizens have been made accountable to the laws
> that have not been promulgated, and fubjedted to
f judicial officers, the tenure of whose commissions,
i render them dependant on the will and-pleafure of
f the executive, a»d confsquently, that they have
been aggrieved.
; Fourthly, your committee are of opinion, that
I the citizens have not only sustained a deprivation of
the right of freemen, have been negleftfd and ag
grieved, but also, that they have been insulted. It
: is much to be lamented that our Ipecies are natural
ly inclined to feat their felllow beings with negledt
if not with opprefljon and insult, when they ; view
; them deprived of the rights of men. It is said, that.
when, the British commiflioners arrived in Ameri
. ca, prior the revolution, with the avowed- -pur
pose of collecting the duties on tea,&c. they view
i ed the Americans as infignificant beings, .(being
: diverted of their-rights) and used when speaking of
■ the then poor and dittrefTed people of Boftun, to
call them the natives—ln the fame manner, and
with the fame spirit, his excellency Governor St.
Clair, appears to look down, upon jhe citizens of
the North Western Territory, (tkey being ftnppfrd
of their ele£tive powers) he speaking of ihem, seems
cautiously to avoid the common and refpe&rul ap
lationt of inhabitants, or citizens, and with great
ajt.andin a diminutive way, makes use of the term
Settlers, and aiSgns it as a reason, Jiecaufe they are
settlers, therefore their judicial officers* should hold
their commissions during his will and pleasure,
excellency's words are "jn all new settlements, it
is more for the public good that the judicial *>ffi
cers who are to be chosen from among the settlers
should be appointed during pleasure" the whole of
• his excellency's famous refolmion,. day be -
>■' the aim iv iihiid nuaititT nf jEa*" n '**
f ttrrm I'emfory. Where in the name of
- all the old whigs, does his Excellency expect to
' get his judicial officers from, doeshe-wifh to draft
them Irom the British lines ?— does *ie mean to
use his influence with Congress to have them im
ported from Scotland ? His Excellency seems to he
so crouded with British and princely ideas,-that he
apparently plumes himfelf on his being analogous
to a King and exprefles himfelf as 'follows, •" it is
to be remarked, that there is fomc analogy between
the powers of the King of England with refpedt to
commissions.; and thoie -of the governor of this
Territory."
On motion,
Resolved unanimously, that this meeting, do ap
prove of the report of the committer, and that all
the proceedings of this, and the former meeting,
shall be committed to the press.
'Reiolved unanimously, that the Reverend John
Smith be requefled to fee that the foregoing resolu
tion is carried into effc&.
On- motion,
Resolved unanimously, that it is the opinion of
the citizens afTtrmbled, thht we ought to continue J
our usual refpeftful demeanour to the officers ©f
government, a«d submission to th* laws, without
troubling the congress of the United States, or '
asking any favours from the high depaitments of '
the Territory, as" we conceive it will be but a few J
months, before ®ur legislature and our officers will
be chosen from among ourselves* and be accountable ! '
to us. The governor and judges of our supreme, '
or general court, have a temporary power, to adopt '
any laws that rhey may find in the codes of the fe- i
veral ftites in the urtibn, be they ever so anqient i
and obsolete, and should wc receive them, with a ' •

confeq-uenee to us, when we consider the fliortnefs !
of tiit time that our submission can be conflitution- !
