Results from the engagements of the United States, under the old confederation, and from that clause of our present Constitution, which declares that all engagements, entered into by them, before its adoption, shall be valid against them. These engagements were, first, with the states which ceded their lands, as has been already explained — and, secondly, with the inhabitants of the ceded territory, to whom a promise, declared... to be irrevo- cable, unless by common consent, had been made in the ordinance for their government, " that schools, and the means of education, should forever be encouraged.
