_ I take these "thirtv-nine, " for the present, as being "our fathers who framed the Government under which we live. ' ' What is the question which, according to the text, those fathers understood just as well, and even better than we do now! It is this: Does the proper division ot local trom federal authoritv, or anything in the Constitution, for- bid our Federal Government to control as to slavery in our Federal Territories! Upon this, Douglas holds the affirmative, and Kepub- licans the nega...tive. This affirmative and denial form an issue; and this issue— this question— is precisely what the text declares our fathers understood better than w^e. , . , . , Let us now inquire whether the "thirty-mne, oi anv of them, ever acted upon this question; and it they did, how they acted upon it— how they expressed that better understanding. In 1784— three years before the Constitution— the United States then owning the Northwestern Terri- torv and no other-the Congress of the Confederation Speech of Ahraliam Lincoln liad before tliem tlie question of proliibiting slavery in that Territory; and four of the ''thirty-nine" who afterward framed the Constitution were in that Con- gress, and voted on that question.
