promptly availed iteelf of this permission by re
affirming that great
Or
of the Confedera
tion by which It was ordained and decreed that
all the territory then belonging to the United
States should be forever free. Four now States
were formed out of territory lying south of the
Ohie Bitter, and admitted into the Union pre-
Timm to 1820; but the territory from which they
were formed had belonged to States in which
Slavery orbited at the time of their, formation;
and in ceding it to the General Government, or
/a assenting to the formation of new States with
in It, the old Shan to which It belonged had in.
toiled a provithe against any regulation of Con
gress that should tend to the emancipation of
Slaves. Congress was thus Prevented from pro
hibiting Slavery in these new States,,by the ac
lion if the old Sista out of which, they had
been formed. But, as sooa as the Constitution
allimitation upon its power over the States then
existing had expired, Congress prohibited, by
fearful penalties, the addition by importation of
a single Slave, to the numbers already in the
country.
• The framers of the Constitution, although
the historical record of their opinions proves
that they were earning and undivided in their
dislike of Slavery, and In their conviction that
It was hostile in its nature said its loduences
to itopublican freedom, after taking theee steps
to prevent its Increase, did 'not interfere with it
further in the States were it then existed.—
Thee° States ware 'operate oommunitlee, jealous
of their sovereignty and unwilling to outer Into
any league which should trench, in thedeast de
gree, upon their own control over their own at
taint. This sentiment the framms of the Con
stitution were compelled to respect; and they ac
cordingly left Slavery, as they left ail, other
local intereste, to the control of the, 'several
States.. But no one who reads . with care the
debates and the recorded opinions of that age,
can doubt that the ultimate removal of Slavery
was desired by the people of the whole country,
and that Congress had been empowered to pre
vent its Increase, with a view to its gradual and
ultimate extinction. 'Nee did the period of
Emancipation seem remote. Slave !oboe, em
ployed, as It ems, In agriculture, was len pro•
litable than tho free labor which was pouring in
to take its place. And even is States 'when
this consideration did not prevail, other influen
ces tended to the earns reeult. The spirit of
Liberty was then song, generous and strong.
The men of the nation had made eacriticos nod
waged battles for the vindication of their (Dalian
able rights of life. liberty, and the ',amen of
happiness; and it was not possible for them to
;it down in the quiet enjoyment of bleetinp
thee achieved, quiet
feeling the nejustice, as
well to the ineoneentecce; of holding great num
bers'of their fellow men in bondage. Ia &lithe
States, therefore, there existed &strong tenden
cy towards emancipation.. The removal of so
great an evil was felt to be a worthy object of
ambition by the beet and most sagacious etates
men of that age; and Wean:eater, Jernasos,
Faxeorm,, and all the great leaders and repro- •
-tentative, of public opinion, were active and
earnest in divining measures by which it could
be accomplished.
•
But the great change produced In the industn
of the Southern Stater, in the early pert of the
present century, by the inereneed caltare °toot-
ton, the Mt:eduction of new inventions to pre
pare it for ate, and it growing importance to
the commerce of the country and the labor of
the world, by making Slave labor more profitable
than it had ever been before, checked this teed-
ency towards anticipation and aeon put an end
to. it altogether. As the demand for cotton in- ,
in
creased, the interests of the cotton growin
States became more bed more coneected with g
•
Slavery, the spirit of freedom mutually gave
way before the spirit of gain , the semi
and the language of the Southern States became
chaoged;—and e , ll attempts at . emancipation ,
began do be regarded, and resisted, as Israelite
upon the rights and the letereeta of the stare- ,
holding section of the Union. For many years;
diewever r akie etaapilid ant street the bolitiese
relations of the subject. States, both Free and ,
Slaveholdieg, were succeseively added to the
Confederacy without exciting the lean of either ,
'tenon. Vermont came into the Union in 171)1, ,
with a constitution excluding Slaveey. Ken- I
tucky, formed out of Virgitra, was admitted in ,
1792; Tennessee in 1796 tdiseissippi in 1817.
and Alabama In 1819, ht
Slave States, formed
out of Territory belonging to Slave Stater) and
haring Slavery established in them at the time
of their- formation. On the other hand Ohio
wee admitted in 1803, tediums in 1816, and ,
Illinois in 1818, having formed State Govern-
meats under note et Congress which made It
6 fundamental condition, that their Constitu-.
noos should contain nothing repugnant to the
ordinance of 1787,—0r in other words, that
Slavery 'Mould be prohibited within their limits
forever. to ail these occurrenoe., as to the ad
maiden of Louisiana in 1812, there bad been no
contest between Freedom and Slavery for it had
not been eminently felt that the interests 'of
either were aerialist/ fit volved.
Inn lIIIAOIIII/ OOMPZOIIIak.
The first contest cioneorniag the aim lesion of
a new State, which turned upon the question 'cif
Slavery, occurred in 1819, when
formed out of territory purchased. from Prance
la 1808, applied to Congress for admission- to
the Unites as a filavebolding State. The alir
cation was etrenuously resisted by the peop p le p of
the Free Stetert. It was everywhere felt that
the decision torolved conscouroota of thMest
importance to the welters of theeouotry, and
that, If the progress of Slavery was ever to be
&meted, that was the time to arrest. The
alaveholding Intermit demanded Be admission as
a right, and denied the power of Congress to im
pose
conditioas upon new States - applying to be
admitted into the Confederacy. The power rest
ed wi.h the Free States, and Missouri was de
nied St l ollllloll.
.But the subject was reviewed.
The slaveholding interest, with charadterbstio
and timely etagnalty, abated Something of its
pretensions, and settled the aoutrovereey on the
basis of compromise. Missouri' wee admitted
into tho Union by an act bearing date March 6,
1820, in which it was alsodeclared that ..ht all
that territory ceded by Franco to the United
mates, under the name of Louisiana, which lies
north of 16° 80' of north latitude, cot included
•within the limits of the Stan ;1111183one', ALAVII-.e
.lir Lim urroldoragessavfnes, otherwise thee.
In the punishment' of crimes whereof the parties
shall have been ducky convicted, 'WALL DR, AZD
is neaenr rearrest vtionintrxe." In each •
Booze of Congress, a majority of • the members
from the Ellaveholding Slates voted in favor of
this bill with this provishins, jinis'deetaring and
exercising by their Totes, the Constitutional polv
er of Congress to prohibit Slavery even in Ter
ritories where it had been permitted by the law .
of France, at the date of their cession to the
U. Stake. A new Slave State, Arkaneu, form
ed out of that portion of this Territory
• lying' mouth' of 88° 30', to which the prohibi
tion woe not extended, was 'admitted to the
Colon In 188 C. Two Slave States thus came
into the Confideraoy•by'virtuti of this arrange
ment; while Freedom gained nothing by it bat
the prohibition of Slavery from a vast region,
which civilization had made no attempt to pene•
trate.
Thue•ended the first great contest of Freedom
and Slang for position and power in the gener
al Government. The SlaveSoldlig interest had
. achieved 'a virtual victory. It secured all the
Immediate resells for which it struggled; it no-
TAM the power of offsetting in the . federal
. Senate, two of the Free States of the Coefede-.
*racy; and the time could not be forssemf witeti,•
in the fulfillment of Its compact, it would yield
any poeltive and practical advantage to the in
terests of Freedom. Nei th er then,: nor for many
years thereafter, did any statesman dream that,
when the period should arrive, the Slaveholdleg
interest would trample on its bond and fling Its
faith to the winds.,
A quarter of a century elapsed before the an
aeration of Texts. Slavery had been active,

' But a third opportunity was close at band, and
Slavery made a
n d hird struggle for the extension.
of its domain a the enlargement of its power.
The annexation of Texas involved as in 'war'
with Mexico. The war was waged on oar part
with vigor, akin and success. It resulted In the
cession to the United States of New Mexico,
California, and Deseret, vast territories over
which was extended by Mexican law S'proidbi-
Lion of Slavery. The Slaveholders demanded
soma to them all,--resisted the adieiesion of
California and New Mexico, which the energy
of freemen, outstripping in its activity the
.Government and even the Slaveholdlog interest,
had already converted into Free Statee, and
treasonably menaced Congress end the Union
with overthrow, if its demands werenot con
ceded. The free spirit of the country was
roused with indignation by these pretensions,
and for a time the whole nation roused to the
tempest which they had crested. Untoward
events aided the wrong. , The death of the
President threw the whole power of the Ad- -
ministration Into timid and faith !eta- hands.--
Party resentments and party embitione inter

The Sleveholding interest was again victorious.
California, with her free Constitution, was in
deed admitted into the Defoe; but New-Mexico,
with her ConeUtution forbidding Slavery with
in her borders, was denied admission, and re
manded to the condition of a Territory;—and
while Cougress refaced to enact a positive pro
hibition of Slavery in the Territories of New-
Mexico and Deeeret, it was provided that, when
they should apply for admission as States, they
should come in with, or without Slavery, as their
inhabitants might decide. Additional conces
sions were made to the Slave Power —the Gen

mentor that end: subversive at once of State
soverelgety, and of the eetabliabed ealegstards
of civil freedom. Then the country again had
rest. Wearied with its efforts, or content with
their success, the Slaveholding interest pro
claimed a truce.
When Fessams PIXRCe, on the 4th of March,
1863, became President of the United States, no
controversy growing out of Slavery was agita
ting the country. Established laws, some of
them enacted with unusual solemnity and under
circumstances which made theta of more than
ordinary obligation, had fixed the character of
all the States, and ended the contest concerning
the Territories. Sixteen States were Free
States, and fifteen State), were Slave States. By
• the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Slavery was
forever prohibited from all the Louisiana Terri
tory tying north of the line of 86° 30 , , while
over that Territory lying south of that line, and
over the Territories of New Mexico and D'ulerst,
no such prohibition bad been extended. The
