MISSOURI. %

We have received the Constitution of
hi, State, and hasten to extract the fol.
lowing satisfactory sections relating to
Slavery, which will exhibit a more sim
cere desire to arrest the evil. than all the
pre,ensions set forth bv speculators for
power. Tomorrow We shall say more
on the subject In the mean time we
recommend the following to the s,ten
uon of Webster and Storey of Nassa.
chusetts, Hopkinson and Walsh Of
Pennsylvania, dwight, Jay and Clinton
of New York, and all others interested
OIL the subject.
"The General Assembly shall have
power to pass laws.

to this state OF any slaves who may have

And 4th. To permit the owners Of

rights of creditors, where the persons SO

treat them with humanity, and abstain,
from all injuries to them extending to
life or limb.
Sec. 81. In prosecutions for crimes,
slaves shall not be detriced Of an impair
nal trial BY jury, and a slave convicted
OF capital offence shall suffer the same
degree OF punishment and no other, than
would be inflicted on white person for
a like offence and courts of justice be-
fore whom slaves shall be tried, shall as
sign them counsel for their defence.
Sec %. Any person who shall ma
liciousiy deprive oi like or dismember a
Slave. shall suffer such punishment as
would be inflicted for the lie offence if
it were were committed OH free white
person."
When the above Constitution is laid
before Congress, we think that the re-
striction men will look rather small.

From Angostura we learn, by an ari-
val at Norfolk, that proposition had been
made by the commander OF the Spanish
Royal Forces to the Congress Of Colon
bia, for suspension of arms, &c. until
after the result OF the deliberation oil the
Cortes On the affairs of the Provinces
should be known; and that the proposit-
ion had been rejected on any other basis
than the " Sovereignty and Independence
of Colombia" This is what might have
been expected, from the limitations con-
tanned IN the semi official articles re pub
lished in this county iIom Venezuelan
papers, There is some doubt on our
minds, however, i'll whr sense the Con.
gress speaks of the independence of { O.
lombia. The Republic Of Colombia,
properl, speaking, we know. embraces
the two countries OF Venezuela and New
Grenada. But, il we have not mlsun-
derstood the language of the Aurora
newspaper, which seems to speak the
sentiments OF Bolivar, it is his object to
embrace in the Republic of Colombia all
South Aneriea, as well Mexico as the
Southern provinces. If this consum.
mate politicians project Of bestriding the
globe be persevered IN, it is Supposed
and indeed has been pretty plainly hmted
in the Aurora--,hat 10 terms of peace
for any part O. >. America will be listen
ed to. unless they have Ior their basis the
acknowledgement by spain of The indie
pendence OF all South America. This
is indeed a great object; but is it attain
able ? For the sake Of bringing all the
provinces under one head, would it be
polite III any one OF the governments
which are already formed, that Of Colom-
bia, tor example. To refuse to- receive an
acknowledgement oi lts separate irde-
pendence ? Will the provinces Of La

greeably to the resolution Of the General
Assembly, passed in February last, the
Representatives at the October session
are to receive Instructions from their
constituents, relative to the expedieney
of establishing Free Schools in this

public opinion, which viii not, we trust,

We have bad SO frequent occasion to
discuss the merits of this important top

imply distrust of the capacity of the
freemen to discern their true interests,
and Of their readiness TO promote the
honor and prosperity of the State. We
would therefore merely express our hope.
that the Representatives may receive so
full instructions, as to enable them i'm.
mediately to digest and establish Iibe-
raj and permanent system Of education,
which is demanded by all the considers.

AT the late examination of the free
schools in Boston two thousand two hum

masters. Those, with the number in
the primary free schools, between 4 and

thousand children, who are educated at
the expeDce of the town. Their improve

ton, gave the highest satisfaction to the
numerous and highly respectable visitors.
