WISE ON THE Missouri COMPROMISE
The following extract from recent letter,
written by Henry a. Wise to some politi-
cal friends in New Orleans, shows what
Southern men regard as the "main ques-
ton
"The Kansas and Nebraska bill repealed
the Missouri Compromise, which was the
first act to violate Washington's injunction
not to recognize geographical liues--which
was the first to make border between the
North and the South--which was the frs,
to begin a separation of the States, Now,
the Kansas and Nebraska bill simply re-
stores TO statu quo ante 15l9-'20. where
Washington, Hancock, Adams and Jeffer-
son, Virginia and Massachusetts,, and the
Old Thirteen, stood. 1t brought US back t.
the Constitution. The question is, shall
it be repealed, and heart-burning state be
restored to the place Of the Constitution!
Virginia votes no, North Carolina, no, Geor-
gia-glerious Georgia-no; Alabama, no.
The entire Slaveholding States will, not
wi,hstandng the hesi,ancy of gallan, but
blood-stained Kentucky, all unite in shout
ing, as host Of Freedom, as friends OF
America
AFRICAN Slavery shall not be abolished !
"The American Union of States shall not
be dissolved :"

Constitution and the laws. To defesd
these, will stake "lifc. fortune and sacred
honor" against internal as we'll as external

Douglass speech in St. Louis seems to
have been most unsatisfactory affair. The
Republican which had been prepared for q
splendid euiogy of this expected grand eff
fort of its Magnus Apollo of slavery exten.
sion and Nebraska and whiskey policy, is
evidently disappointed, and its account Of
the speech is summed up in half dozen
lame paragraphs, only significant Of its dis
appointment. The Evening Neps seems to
