10. In Mr. Webster's Speech on Mr. Foote's Resolution, in Jan. 1830, there is a very interesting and powerful view of this subject, which will amply repay the diligence of a deliberate perusal. See Webster's Speeches, etc.; p. 360 to 364; Id. 369. It is well known, that the ordinance of 1787 was drawn by the Hon. Nathan Dane of Massachusetts, and adopted with scarcely a verbal alteration by Congress. It is a noble and imperishable monument to his fame.
