From the True American.

E1trdct from the Editor, dated Washing
ton City, March A.
I" The bills for the admission of Maine
and Missouri into the Union, have at
length passed Congress, on the principles
of the long-talked of compromise, viz. the
admission of Slavery in Missouri; and
its prohibition 10 the remainder of the
Territory purchased Of France. Both
bills were yesterday presented to the
President for his appreciation and sigma
ture; and the Intelligencer Of this NOR
ming announces that the bill for the ad.
mission Of Maine was actually approved
and signed yesterday. That for the ad-
mission Of Missouri, as it involves the
question Of the constitutionality of inhib
ting slavery 10 the territories, may have
required more time for deliberation
aud reflection; but will, it is generally
expected, be finally approved and signed.
g Ii will be recollected that the latter
bill, as it came from the House, prohibited
slavery 10 Missouri. On the motion to
strike out this prohibition, the votes in the
Senate were:
For striking out, and against restriction,
Messrs. Barbour, Brown, Eaton, Ed
wards, Elliot, Gaillard, Horsey, Hunter.
