We have always been willing to accept the Missouri
compromise Ii has two precedents to recommend il;
but the doctrine Of is more conormable
to the constitution, because ii pesupposes that Congress
has constitutional power at all to NEEDLE with slavery
in the Territories. But obtain the Missouri com
promise The prospec, is decidedly against it. And has
il come this that the Union cannot be saved unless il
is adoptedl And is this the only measure which will
be sanctioned at the Nashville Conventions We may

Columbus Enquirer OF the 2lst in the following article
shows US that this very measure which the Union
itself seems to hang repuda,ed by the last legisa-
ture Of Georgia:
We have said in a formef number that we have always

Several weeks since took leave to throw out, as
the basis Of accommodation, either the Missouri compro-
mise the principles of adjustment lately proposed by
the Committee of Thirteen We would have been con.
tent with either, than keep up this fearful excite
ment Either calculated give peace to distract
ed country. But will those gentlemen who now pro-
pose the Missouri compromise abide by the other il this
proposition should fail On the contrary, they now de-
clare that must have the Missouri compromise. or
none. Can they get the Missouri compromised Our
impression is, that il is out OF our reach.
One Of the most intelligent and experienced members
Of Congress informed yesterday that "ihe Missouri
line has always been defeated, and always will be- 1t
wholly visionary 10 talk about it,"
What, then, becomes our duiyi To stake no step
backwads'to adhere TO the proposed adjustment with
the few notifications which il requires and may re-
ceiveand to stand upon this platform until il may be
swept from under With suitable energy on the part
OF those who support -not suffering their forces be
diverted by other plans, FILTERED away by divisions
and with the popular sentiment coming to the rescue,
entertain every hope that II may ultimately prevail The
sboiionists may attempt TO defeat IT, The Taylor wings
may struggle to carry General Tayors feeble and mis-.
chisvous policy by overhrowing it, but trust is in
the wisdom Of Congress and in the voice Of the people
We confess We every moment more and more the
necessity Of settling this agitatng question II be
adjusted IN spirit OF Cancellation or concession. To
our asonishmen, we received yesterday note from a
distinguished member Of Congress, enclosing letter
o. The lih instant from Mississippi, stating, among other
lhlngs, that :" Mr.. --is now avowedy for immediate
dissolution Of he Union He says il equality in both
branches OF Congress guaranteed to us, we should
REJECT II and 90 for dissolution. He n opposed 10 the
action OF Mr.. Foote'S Committee OF Thirteen, be-

aAon to be removed" The gentlemen mentioned in this
letter isa wing, and said to be decidedly and deseredy
