Tho fact iy, those grand old patriots wrought ro much mip+ ‘bler and betier thian thoy knew, that theoy did nixs appreciate, and thereforo claim, the honor of thyy worl they hiad dove for mankind, Tho act to cede the Nortnwestern Tarritory t o tho United Btates waa passcd by tho Logislature of Virginia oa the 20th of Docembor, 1768 ; audi tho deed mado under that act was dated Marck 31,1784 Botweou that time sud the passage c¥! tho famons Ordinanco of "7, ' BEVERAL ATTEMITS UAD DEEN MADE in Congreas to frame a Govornment for tha Northwestern Territory; difforont ommitte bad been appointed, aud’ reports mada ; and o) b divances had bean even savanced toa third ronc - ing, butnone of then, had paseod.

The truth is, 3ir, King waa) not a momber of Congross when the ordinance was paesed, and Mr., Jefforson waa absont, belugy our Minister to the Court of France. Tlse fact that Mr. Poolo hiae uow boen sble to that history cannot be written by the men whoy mako it, or by thomse who immodiatoly succecd)’ them.
