oppeperts fthe repeal of he Missouri Compromise and
OF the National Administration, is now more directly
renewed, and is to be contaminated at Boston tue
present week. 1t wGs held 10 allegiance until ai1er the
la'e meeting Of the American S'ae Councu, OUT of
respect 10 that body and in the hope that that organ
ization would Toxic action that would bring about
more directly the desired result But the result OF the
meeting, although marking an encouraging advance
does not appear to be satisfactory TO the friends OF
fusion and at best leaves the issue doubtful on tue
part of that organization at moment when there
no time TO be lost; and in consequence the proposed
meeting has been preclpaied and as II 10 disconnected
with al party organization need embarrass neither
individual nor party. Beside the calls of the public
prints the folio wing circular for this meeting has been
