,, North Line Of .Tissouri.-The recent de-
cision of the u S. Supreme Court in favor
of Iowa and against Missouri, gives the dis
puted territory to Iowa. The country in
dispute was about ten miles wide at one
end. and twelve miles wide at the other.
This stri p ofcountry stretches from the Des
Moines to the Missouri, is about 900 miles
long, and contains upwards of 1900 square
miles. The land is generally well wutered,
FERTILE, and desirable. This decision cuts
off a considerable part of Clark county
nearly one half of the counties of Scotland,
Schuyler, Putnam, Mercer and Dodge; q
considerable portion Of Atchison, and a
large amount OF unorganized territory at.
tached TO the counties ofGentry, Nodaway
and Holt. Several of the counties above
named were laid out nearly square, and this
line passing nearly through the middle will
come near TO their county seats, and leave
the counties in bad shape, and with less
territory than is required by our State Con-
stituton. In each of these counties were
some slaves, but the number is small. they
being badly adapted to the use of slave Ia.
Dor. One OF the disadvantages Of this de.
cision to Missouri is, that it will bring the
free State of Iowa closer to the slave popu-
laton in the counties on the north side OF
the Missouri. The proximity of a free State
to many ofthe northern counties Of Missou-
ri will render slave property very unsafe
therein. 1t may also create the necessity
of disorganizng and recognizing a numbe +
Of the counties cut by the new line.
