In all their eloquent and mournful appeals to the North, they have no- where stopped at or made this a starting-point; and if there had after- wards been in Congress the same sturdy resolution and honest patriotism which distinguished and adorned the names and the services of Roger Sherman and his compatriots of the Revolution, and of the doubtful strug- gles for the Union, the slave-drivers would not have put this corroding blot upon nine more Stales, and held the power to taunt a few of the s...er- vile and truckling representatives of the Free States, who voted against, or skulked from voting for, the good old North Western Territory restriction, wilh the ignominious insult of being " dough faces." Besides, in 1789, only two years after the adoption of the Constitution, and after this distinct and overwhelming majority was demonstrated against the motion made by Mr. Parker, to wit, on the 25th of September, 1789, and December 15lh, 1791, and January 8th, 1798, and December 12th, 1803, on which occasions Congress made additions to the Constitution ; all of which were announced by the Secretary of State, on the 25th day of September, 1804, to be ratified; and long after, when there had been a blunt, constitutional, and congressional denial, that slaves were property, and that no words had been used in the Constitution or by Congress, with that intention.
