Missouri compromise, as al this-and !
have been unable to deior mine in my own
mind whether more soliciiude and anx-
ieiy existed then Than now-the whole
country was in an uproar. on the one side.
for the admission Of Missouri, and on the
other for her exclusion. Every legislative
body throughout the county, believe
there were twenty.four then-had de-
nounced or approved the measure of the
admission Of Missouri. The measure
was finally carried by small majority );
only six in the House of Representatives,
where the grea. struggle, where the long
continued exeriiun. was carried on. And
what were The consequences which ensued
throughout, this distracted country ! The
act was every where received with joy.
and exul.aiion, and triumph and The man
who would have dared to interrupt the
universal and deep.fel, and all pervading
harmony which prevailed throughout The
country in consequence Of that adjust.

pu.liaied. and rerroached by the indignant
voice Of his counirymen. And ! venture
10 say, IL this measure Of compromise goes
10 the country with all the high sanctions
which il may carry-sanctions Of both
Houses Of Congress and of the Executive
and Of the grea. body oflhc American Peo-
pIe-.n country bleeding al every pore. 10

rulues, and give once more peace and hap

agitation will he at an end. though few
may croak andhalloo as they please. There
are few miserable men who live upon
agitation, men who are never;satisiicd until
they can place themselves al the head Of
a little clique Of agitators, and. fastening
them 10 their tails. go to the Democratic
party and say. take me, am good
Democrat, and | will bring 10 you this cap
