[64] The Ordinance of 1784, the original of the Ordinance of 1787, was
drawn up by Jefferson himself, as chairman of the committee appointed
by Congress to prepare a plan for the government of the territory. The
draft of the committee’s report, in Jefferson’s own handwriting, is
still preserved in the archives of the State Department at Washington.
“It is as completely Jefferson’s own work,” says Bancroft, “as the
Declaration of Independence.” Jefferson worked with the greatest
earnestness to secure the insertion of a clause in the Ordinance of
1784 prohibiting slavery in the Northwest; and the clause was lost
by only a single vote. “The voice of a single individual,” said
Jefferson, who foresaw more clearly than any other what the conflict
with slavery was to mean to the republic, “would have prevented this
abominable crime. Heaven will not always be silent. The friends of the
rights of human nature will in the end prevail.” They prevailed for
the Northwest Territory with the achievement of Manasseh Cutler, Rufus
Putnam and Nathan Dane.
Was it from Jefferson that Putnam and his men at Marietta caught their
classical jargon? There was a great deal of pretentious classicism
in America at that time, new towns everywhere being freighted with
high-sounding Greek and Roman names. The founders of Marietta--so
named in honor of Marie Antoinette--named one of their squares
_Capitolium_; the road which led up from the river was the _Sacra
Via_; and the new garrison, with blockhouses at the corners, was the
_Campus Martius_. Jefferson had proposed dividing the Northwest into
ten States, instead of five as was finally done, and for these States
he proposed the names of Sylvania, Michigania, Assenisipia, Illinoia,
Polypotamia, Cherronesus, Metropotamia, Saratoga, Pelisipia and
Washington.
[65] Rufus Putnam was born in Sutton, Massachusetts, April 9, 1738,
just fifty years before he founded Marietta, where he died May 1,
1824. He was a cousin of General Putnam. Early in life he was a
millwright and a farmer; but he studied mathematics, surveying and
engineering--after distinguished service in the old French war--and
became our leading engineer during the Revolution, and an able officer
in many campaigns. He first planned the Ohio settlement, and at the
outset made it a distinct condition that there should be no slavery in
the territory. Five years after the founding of Marietta, Putnam was
made Surveyor-General of the United States; and his services in Ohio
until the time of his death were of high importance.
[66] The illustration shown on page 335 is from a pen-and-ink copy of
a quaint old painting on glass from China, probably in 1820. In that
country a set of china with this design as decoration was made for
this Plymouth celebration.
