In 17S7, an Ordinance waa passed, by which
slsvery wss forever exclnded from the terriu?
ry nori hand west ol the Ohio. This Old msnce
bound every foot of land then belonging to the
Nation. This ia the compromise they maeV.
The Northwestern Territory hafi occn teded to

by Mr. JruVrson. in The lanpeage of '
Ihe 'Previso,' ia snbstan'ially the language ol
the Ordinance of I7S1, as drafted by Tbomie

Sir, the history of the Ordinance of 1787,

the Proviso, exhibits a mt-lancholy and alarm
ing change rn Ihe public opinion of Ihe Smth.
between that day, and at present, np. n the sub-
jji - ctof slsvery. Tbe fathers or the Republic,
i saw and acknowledged the evils and dangrraof
this Institution. They covenaotsd not to inter,
ft-rs with it ia the S'afrs where it existed; but
in Ttrriloriei, its existence even, did not slsy
their hands. They looked forward wt'h anx
ious stdicititde to the dsy, when Sis very left un
molested in ita early limits, would wrsr itaelt
nut, by the laws of population, and the force of
natural causes, then in active operation. They
wale no effort lo weaken the force of this law,
or lo pvtp.Mie the result of thtae caues, by n i
dening the fild in which they wrre lo operate,
and thus, putting off to a more dis'ant day, our
final redemption from the cuise of Negro Sla
very. Now, the sternal per pel ua tion, ami un
limited extension ot Slavery, haa become the
leading, if not the 'out Htm' ol the South. In
order to perpetuate Slavery, for all coming time,
ita limits must be extended, aa the alave popula
tion increases. The old lands, exhausted and
made barren by slave labor, mutt be abaoi'oned
for new and virgin toil; otherwise the Slave
becomes le'u Zeis, and ctnanc'pition of m ces
sity follows. Tbe value given : Ijvb lab.tr,
by Ihe new and ferule regmov opened fot it
serves a I mi to give value to the Slave iu the old
Siaica thus retarding the progress of gradual
emancipation in them. If slave labor be orofl
lb'e on the Western aide of this continent, for
the protlucilm of the slaplo of cotton, suar,
tubiccn, iicedce. akin theae staple can no
looser be produced, ir oi.ly to a limited extent,
in the Atlantic States f still the Slave of tlioae
States is mad valuable), a an article of stock
to be there raised, far the market in the distant
West. Slavery ia a qnestien of interest. It
will rxit so !nng, and no longer at it ia a source
of profit to his master. Keep it within Riven
limits, and in time, there will be aoch an abun
dance of atave labor, from the increase of slave
population; and the field of its profitable labor
'?'. the same time, become so narrowed and
ctrciirtiFcntx-rf, tt.at the Slave ccasca to be ol
value to hia master, and he is itlad to got rid of
him upon any terms. It wss to such renulta,
that the "great men of the South, i.i the great
day of the South,' lked with aoxiety and hope.
That Slavery chould not escape its carty doom,
by an extension ol its borders, fjiry sealed up
against it. by the Ordinance ol 1787, the entire

the Constitiitum has left it, to t!ie States in
hk-h it rxisis, seeks its further exiension o
ver new snd kitile regions, where as yet, there
are no States, and where Slavery as yea haa no
vattence. It is to aid in this grest work this
glorious enterprise, that the summons is made
to the Democracy of Pennrylvatiia kj 'buckle
on t hear armor and be prepared in time for the
approaching conflict. I do net believe they
will do batUe in seek a caeae. The victory

who ttfiora to lesd us, will fad to gather laercla

c" " Detirocracy of Penn-
sylvania, I am at a lose to conceive, 4t cannot
be, that Ihe Secretary f Sint deaircd Hi incor
porate the doctnnr, vjf the extenfcion -of Slavery
over yee Territory'' into Ihe Democratic creed.
If so, I one will submit to no tftferpofsfron
upon the creed. Who msde hint a Judge in
ttraiir.
The practice tiaa been ta mscU encouraged
6eretofo.-e, of fermitttnga certain cUssof poli
ticians, to nurite every ircstion that arose, as
same a party chsracur. Tne SosTth, having
wrthin h-r bord-jvs a majority f the decsrocralic
party, has from tisr.e to lime, fercvd rpon as, as
party issues, fnestioiis having not Ihe sliglitssl
refurence to party principle 'Inis wss done on
the Texas questioii. I waa in favor of that
measure. I earnestly advocated it before the
people, and vcted for it in Congress. I have
no regrvta for veight I dose. It it were to be
done over again, I should do the sanre: but it
never should have been made a party question.
The principles that divide, as by ebiuad bounds-
ry, IVmocray from Fedvralism, exited long
before the question of Texas Annexation nei
ther are they snhjcl to constant muratroo. Vet
and niortiflrat ion, that a great femicratic
Statesman of the North, hom we had made
the Standard-bearer and Representative nf our
principles, should be struck down by the South,
because he hailed upon a question, in no way
ff.-ctuig the established snd fixed principles ol
our creed. If Northern men Northern Demo
crats, will longer atand by in silence and
see their best and. ablet men immoliiled by the
South, for not marching up to any and every
issue they i hooe to nuke, then indeed, is Ihe
Northern lK-inocracy, but tba adjuuet and too!
ot the South.
Sir, I entertain mi hostility In the S ah. 1
have b?tn taught in her School ; I have learned
my political fsilh from tho lessoua of her great
S;atetam-n. Upon most of the great questama
that have divided psrrtes particularly those af
feeling the powers of the Gensrul government,
and the rights of the States, t beln-ve the S-iuth
has been rtht I claim to be a demoeiat ot
the Jt-nVrttu school a Statee Rilit Republican
--a Strict Constructionist, 'after the most sini
lest reel.' I revere the Vtto inessvge of Gen.
Jack-on, as a text book of pirty principle, while
I repudiate the doctrines of the Proclamation.
Bui air, because Ihe South baa been eminently
correct -n most great questione, that gives to
her no liht lo force neap ii$u upon the party.
If the South can succeed, in making the 'ex
tension of Slavery overree Territory,' party
question , aa she did the re annexation ol Tex
ta.it will nuke something of change in the
party relations of men. , It all who oppose this
new tot and touch-atone of party fidelity, are
to be converted into Whigs, certainly tlioae
wbu aupport it, will be transformed iulo Demo-
Praia. It is fortunate for Silne Wright, lhi nn
M.-et oVwotrst of his sge, that ho died, before
this transformsfion had taken plnee with him.
Henry Clay, afu r rtrayinr in sesrrh of strame
g als, for a quarter of a century, will return to
tlc fold of the pnrty. Under surh test fie
might become the cnmlidate of the lleinncratic
party for President in lSlfl, and thus somn men
be caught m a trap they hid act lor others. I
trust ever to be found standing firm upon my
principlea aa a Democrat 1 value them, and
have thus far maintained them through life; hut
I will adopt no such issue, as that now attempt
ed to lm imposed upon Ihe D- inocney nf this
state. I will submit to no such test. Iet tlnaro
receive tlie yoke who choose to wear if It
shall never gall my neck.
