For. Against. Alexander, 75, 51 Bond, 63, 240 Clark, 31, 116 Crawford, 134, 262 Edgar, 3, 234 Edwards, 189, 391 Fayette, 125, 121 Franklin, 170, 113 Fulton, 5, 60 Gallatin, 597, 133 Greene, 164, 379 Hamilton, 173, 85 Jackson, 180, 93 Jefferson, 99, 43 Johnson, 74, 74 Lawrence, 158, 261 Madison, 351, 563 Marion, 45, 52 Montgomery, 74, 90 Monroe, 141, 196 Morgan, 42, 432 Pike, 19, 165 Pope, 273, 124 Randolph, 357, 284 Sangamon, 153, 722 St. Clair, 408, 506 Union, 213, 240 Washington, 112, 173 Wayne, 189, 111 White, 355, 326
The vote as here given is from Moses, "Illinois," I., 324. It is also given in Harris, "Negro Servitude in Illinois," 48. It differs to a slight degree from that given by William H. Brown in his "Historical Sketch of the Early Movement in Illinois for the Legalization of Slavery," read at the annual meeting of the Chicago Hist. Soc., Dec. 5, 1864 ("Fergus Hist. Ser.," No. 4), and in Washburne, "Sketch of Edward Coles," 191. Brown was one of the leaders in the struggle and his work is of especial value. It is probable that the vote appended to his address was prepared by some one else. The work of Moses is of later date and his figures correspond to the official report in respect to the majority against the convention, as the others do not.
