AMERICAN PAPERS.
pit Seticmal hittliregtrer of Feb. 2 says, that the
Wissitsri question, as it is familiarly called, is at length
ariensired in the Senate. After a debate, as lull as
.ie!iberate, end as able, perhaps, es ever took place in
tist venerable body, the Senate have decided, by a vote
4 'early two to one, that the Congress of the United
stops 'toes not posse,s the right to impose upon the
rifle of Missouri the proposed restriction, as a con-
moo their admission into the Union. The majority
is greater, we believe, than was anticipated, and the
Isle is the larlest which • we remember to bare been
am is the Senate—every member being in his wet,
carnet one, who, it is nntlerstood, would 'flare mid
sith the majority bad be been present.
Is Sa' LIE, Frs. ?..—The Senate resumed the rend-
indite alley Maine and 3lissouri Bills.
iklharrill. of Rhode Island, moved to amend the
MI skiing of the amendment respecting Misread,
Antis it is provided, tha: the Constitution, whenever
wawa," sba;.i he Republican, and not repugnant to the
rouliaitien of 'Le I. niter' States,•• by adding to ibis

tre, 0 •twerti the original States, and the people and
Woof the territory north-west of the river Ohio.-
fie three articles of the ordinance .of 1;147, here re-
fared to. are as follow :--
de. I. No rrson, demeaning liinotelf in a peaceable
soi onlerly 'airliner, shall ever be molested on accoont

si letah:e length in its support ; after which
The subject was, ou the motion of Mr. Lowrie, pus:-
porni ;o to-morrow, and the Senate adjoereed.

11AliteRrIETTS AND CONNDATICCT 10ENDADT LINE.
The Lexislatare of Masnaelnueotts has base called
I+ WI +abject; which they think is more important to
them than many are aware of. They are " insured
nee are forty thousand acres of territory belonglbst of
;Allot to tbat Commonwealth, on its south-west border,
over whicktmonecticut now exercises jnrisilietina. The
lire between Ilse two States was run in the then wildernmm
in the year 1713; and has not since been renewed on
the eavt of Connecticut river—the State of Connecticut
Laving always refused (for reasons best known by
herself) to appoint Commissioners to renew the line on
that side of the river, although she has appointed there
to renew it on the west shle. This territory contains
one or Inure towns, or parts of towers, which bate
frequently been represented in the General Ccurt of
diassachusetts, but have, without any act of annexe-
ties, silently slipped under the sway of Connecticut.—
Ibis is the beet time that has occurred for limey years
to run boundary lines and settle old controversies; and
welfare no doubt, if the subject is prosecuted with spirit,
a small offset can he obtained on this border of the Com- i
nenwealth, ler the loon by the pecession of Maine oD thel
elber. —(floston Centime!)
