When the bill for admission came before the House, Congressman James Tallmadge of New York offered an amendment that would have prohibited the further introduction of slavery and would have eventually freed the progeny of slaves then in the territory.

On a cold December evening in 1829, nine men met in Reverend James M. Mathews's (portrait at right) living room at 93 Liberty Street to take the first steps in founding a radically new form of university for New York--an experiment in nonsectarian, egalitarian education that is now New York University.
Four of these men were also in the process of establishing, with over 150 other New Yorkers, a new and nonsectarian private cemetery in New York City for their families, which they built in a meadow a mere five blocks from the University's planned home and named the New York Marble Cemetery.
The NYU leaders who came from Cemetery families were: Chancellor Rev. Mathews, 1831-39; Council Presidents James Tallmadge, 1834-46; Rev. Gardiner Spring, 1846-48; and John Cleve Green, 1851-75; Vice-President James Tallmadge, 1831-34; Secretary Henry Van Schaick, 1856-65; and Treasurers Frederick A. Tracy, 1832-34; Waldron B.
