refuse to admit them a state into the
union, unless there shall be contained in
that constitution a restriction of slavery
We are fully aware of the uproar and
clamor that the expression of this idea
may give rise to among shareholders.
But we are not to be silenced in that
mode.
Although threats of disunion were
lavishly uttered among slave holders,
and it would seem frightened some
" dough faces" they are mere empty
wind. The slave states have not the
most distant idea of diyiding-they dare
not divide; and the mind that has been
wrought upon by such threats, to deviate
either in sentiment or in conduct from
the straight forward course of conscience
and humanity, must be contemptibly
weak and childish.
This has been the great subject of the
sesslon-and ithas terminated in national
disgrace and national injustice,

Session Of Congresa.-This long-wind.
ed session has at length come to close
and, we are apprehensive, without having
| done much to advance either the nation
interests or honor. We are hot able
precisely TO determine the exact amount
or precise nature Of all the measures
adopted or rejected during the two or
three last days of the session, because
the accounts that have reached us Of those
proceedings have been confused and i'm
perfect. Enough however has TRANSFERRED,
first and last, to convince us, that the ma
ton will never have cause to exult in
the character or conduct of the legisla-
| ture, on the present occasion.
The session has been among the long
| est that have ever occurred, having lasted
between five and six months. As usual,
but few weeks were productive of but
little that could be considered i'm
portant. The first great measure, and
it was truly great one, was that COM
monty called the Missouri question. The
time spent in its discussion, as far as our
recollection serves, is without an exam
pie in the history of our government
more time having been devoted to It, if
we are not mistaken, than was devoted
| to the Funding System, or the British
Treaty, under General Washington's
administration-the repeal Of the Judi
| ciary under Mr.. Jefferson, or the subject
of War in the time of Mr.. Madison. The
time thus employed, the expenses thus
incurred, were simply to decide, 7vhether'
the United States, protesting great re-
gard for freedom and justice, should,
under their republican government, NOT
only sanction, but expressly authorize,
the extension Of Slavery over alarge nor
ton Qftheir nezv and unsettled territory.
Strange, and indeed wonderful, as it may
seem at this time of day, that such a
Question as this should divide opinion
in this country, but such is the lamenta-
bic fact; and what is Notifying, though
a majority of both houses Of the national
legislature represented free states, yet
a majority was eventually found in both
in favor of the extension, and of course
the perpetuation, Of this national re-
lproach, this enormous and most aggra-
waited national in;quity. s'9
We say eventual hertetuation of sla-
very with only one reservation, viz. that
at future session, whcnevcrthe people
of Missouri shall forward state consti-
tuition Tor appreciation, Congress shall

0Ies5r8. Printers,
When boy at school, was frequently
tempted to make inroads into an or
chard, which stood in the neighborhood,
but was deferred by the barking and
growing of the canine animals, which
were kept there for the purpose of pro-
tecting the fruit. | was frequently
tempted to climb the fence, but as fire.
quently repulsed by those unsocial in
mates although they sometimes shew-
ed signs of terror on my approach; yet
as soon as ever | turned my back a
wonderful bowling took place. This in
cident might have passed away, and been
forgotten, like number of others of as
little consequence, did not circum-
stance at present occur, which brings it
fresh to my recollection.
During the last session ofthe legisla-
ture, law was passed making it the du-
ty of every physician of the state to
snake out a quarterly report" which
report was to be published in some
newspaper ofthis state. A monotonous
recital of births and deaths" seemed
too uninteresting for those capable of
making deeper research therefore some
OF the society INDUCED themselves in
inquiring into the causes of the prevail
ing diseases of the country. was high
ly pleased at this intellectual contest
for eminence--and while every reporter
had to accompany their production with
| | ii lao Il,
snarling critic from behind the scene
would comment on them, over fictitious
signatures. But when / saw the re-
marks of "Querist" and Esculapius, J"
in the Edwardsville Spectator, it instant
ly brought to my mind the incident be-
fore alluded to, and | began to find that
there were more puppies who delight to
hear Themselves bark, than those which
formerly assailed me in the orchard !;
and puppies too who increase their
bowling as the object of their ire re-
treats; for it was well known that DIR.
Reynolds had left the state before
"Esculapius," or the second number of
the "Querist" made its appearance.
Had this not been the case it is more
than probable that the former would
have been saved the trouble Of com
mending himself in the character Of the
latter.
But, Messrs. Printers, much as COM
mend the intention ofthe law, and much
as esteem the zeal of the reporters who
have sent their names aaoat on adyen-
lures in this lard Of critics, cannot
bring myselfto initiate their examples
cursed with natural diffidence, | cannot
bear to aifix my name to report which
is to be assailed by an ANONYMOUS scrb-
bler-and believe this to be the case
with several practitioners in this district,
who neither wish to con6ne themselves
to a dull detail Of ." births and Deaths"
or to lay themselves liable to be barked
at through the Edwardsville paper.
One thing more, and / have DONE
In medical district that has not con-
formed to the law, criticisms on the
members Of the district that have, comes
with very Indifferent grace.

ADDRESS

Of the Justices Of the Peace TO the in
haditants Of Madison County,
FELLOW CITIZENS,
The objects for which we have assem-
bled arc totally distinct from the political
questions which occupy so much Of the
time and feelings of the citizens Of our
county at this moment. Our meeting is
not intended to affect the interest of any
candidate, or his partisans but, by the
most careful investigation the time will
permit, to ascertain the various duties we
are required to perform, and to devise
the best means we can of carrying them
faithfully and effectually into execution.
These views, we trust, will be suffi-
cient apology for appearing before you
in collective capacity, and calling your
attention to some of the subjects which
have elected our deliberations.
We find it necessary, fellow citizens,
to make the most diligent search into the
laws which govern courts generally, (and
more especially as there are in our statutes
some omissions and many antiquities,
in order that we may not be misled in
our judgment of the various and some
times complicated cases that are brought
before us, in the disputes between man
and man, relative to the right of property.
The extent of our jurisdiction, the amount
over which we have cognizance, and the
important legal questions that frequently
arise, make it doubly incumbent on US to
inform ourselves as fully as possible of
those fixed legal principles, without at
tsntion to which the property of men
would be in constant jeopardy of arbitra-
ny, uncertain, and consequently unjust
decisions.
Considering this important, we adopt
ed the plan of general consultation as
best calculated to disseminate some Of
the leading points amongst us, inasmuch
as few of us are conversant with the law,
either as profession or a science, and
the occupations of most of our number
present no small difficulty in the way OF
acquiring legal knowledge by study.
We might indeed feel considerable
relief from the anxiety incident to con-
seriousness of too limited an acquaintance
with the law generally, arising from the
right of appeal, whereby persons who
may feel injured by our determinations,
may take them before tribunal fully
