The fate of the late proposition in Con-

at length decided. The consent of sim
gle state was wanting to make it a part of
or constitution, and the consent of that
STATE has been obtained. After calmly at
q tending to the history of this project, for
\ the distraction Of an Invaluable feature IN
our natlonal compact, who can doubt that
Oac country stands On the preciplce Of ri.

pared TO submit TO that state OF dsg ada
doc and slavery, of which they have long
back waraed, aud from which the patriots

fhalt do go tomorrow to SchwitZ--give the
judges my reaions and thine--and fhall fave
