To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It did nothing more — it made no reference to, it took no action upon the 6th and last section of the ordinance, which prohibited slavery. The division of that territory was provided for in the ordinance ; at each division, the whole of the ordinance was assigned to each of its parts. This is the whole sura and substance of the free-' soil claim, to legislate precedents. Congress did not assert or exercise the right to alter a compact entered into with the former government, (the old confedera-... tion, ) but gave its assent to the government already established and provided for in the compact. If the original compact was void for want of power in the old government to make it, as Mr. Madison supposed, Congress may not have been bound to accept it, it certainly had no power to alter it. From these facts, it is clear, that this legislation for the northwest territory, does not conflict with the principle I assert, and does not furnish a precedent for hostile legislation by Con- gress against slavery in the territories.
