Earl Fiizwilliam is dismissed from The ord

! I've citizens Of our large commercial
towns are agilaiing the question of a
BGnk'Wpt Lar. In Ncw York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and Charleston, meetings
nave been held, and memorial TO Con
SresS In favour OF The law adopicd.-Ths
question viii occupy much OF the lime OF
Congress.
Another question will be how 10 improve
the Giro ulating mcdium and relieve con-
mercIal embarrassmenis by treasury
notes, and otherwise?
Another, 10 encourage our own manu-
taciuras by raising The iariff on foreign
goods. The friends OF manufacture have
besilrred themselves with great spirit.
ihey have organized themselves into So
cleiles, spoken through the legislature Of
New Jersey, obtained the sanction of
grand jury, and are about 10 hold a gene
raj meeting i'll New York TO memorIaiize
Congress.
Another subject before the next Con-
gress is The Missouri Question. The friends
OF the restriction are very active i'm the
north. They have had meetings in Tren.
ton, New York, Philadelphia they are
calling them i'll Boston aud the interior
towns OF Pennsylvania and IN the re-
spectacle Legislature of Vermont reso-
luton has been introduced 10 memorial
| We Congress against " The further intro
lciio' OF slaves into the territories OF The
u. States" This is spirit which, we
fear, will fly over the whole Of the East
| ern siaies.-We deprecaie such proceed
| ings.-Thev SOW The seeds of discord
| between the different states. They rouse
| an indignant feeling among the citizens
| of Missouri. What is worse, they aim a
| blow al the constitution of the u. States.
We have read carefully all the memorials
that have been published, and among
others, the eloquent one from Philadel-
pima; and We venture 10 say that there is
nothing III one OF them which wears the
semblance Of an argument 10 prove the
eXiS .encc of This authority. They neither
prove II 10 be a power which has been
| explicitly giren 10 the general government,
| nor That II IS necessary 10 carry into effect
any power which is given. But they deal
III generali'ies, which would make the
constitution a nose of way. -ConCress
should turn deaf ear 10 all these memo
| rails, and admit Missouri into tie Union
| wlIhcut any such resiriction.-The last
81. Lonis paper says, if the present Con-
gTess do NOT admit them upon these terms,
II wiIlIiienbe time for the people 10 decide
whether they will not form government
for themselves.-Thiss spirit loo we de
precate.
Another question may be, what steps
Vt may be expedient TO take as To- Spain.
Tie Hornet has arrived, and The treaty is
not ratified (; but Spain is abOut to send
minister 10 this country" Clouds and
darkness rest upon this subject :" il is
Impossible to say how far our rights and
| honour will require It's 10 declare war, or
| 10 occupy the Floridas. We wait for the
| documents {; but Congress will be eau
iious how they change the attitude of
this country, unless IL be required by our
| essential rights aud honor.
But on most Of lie questions we have
stated, we ilGDk the French maxim, is the
