The vote on the article you cited above was part of a proposed amendment to the US Constitution taken up by the US Senate on March 2 1861, the day after Lincoln took office.
The Philidelphia Convention where the US Constitution was drafted took place in 1787, involving a completely different set of circumstances and cast of characters.
