missouri peleeation in Congrens.

Hon. Jno, G. Miller, in letter of the
goth ult, writes as follows:--
Gas Southern men, we were unwilling
to. introduce the aRitatirg question Of slavery
into the Halls OF Congress. Hence, in the
bill introduced by me, at an carly period Of
the session, no reference was made 10 that
subject. Knowing as did that the North
had majority upon the iloor of the House,
il was wholly in their power 10 control that
question, If united. But, as Northern gen
tlemen came forward with proposition to
remove the restriction which prevents South
ern men from going into that territory with
their slave property, and as the principle as
serted by Mr.. Douglas bill is correct ono
and one which was recognised and es,ab-
lished by the Compromise of 1850, | shall
give it my support, and that will be the
course OF our entire Wing delegation. The
bill i'll pass The Senate, believe, by ma
jority of ten to fifteen votes; and think il
will pass the House by about The same ma
jority, though it cannot be said what change
may come over Northern men upon the
question" -..
Mr.. Miller's position, as well as the fea-
lures Of his bill, have both been unsparingly
misrepresented by the opposition papers,
and, now that he has set himself right, we
shall see if they will do him justice, or seek
some new pretext for abuse.
