was committed in its repeal, aud voluntarily
come forward for its restoration, It would nc
once emf all controversy but this we con-
ceiye to be morally impossible. Therefore.
we cannot lorbear to remark that we c0nsi,
der The discussion Of this question at this
time as unwise and i'll timed. The subject
whichS now ahsorbs public attention Is the
approaching Presidential election. and we
cannot see that the restoration ~ the Mis-
souri, Compromise is a question which the Ma
tional Executive will ever, in his official ca.
pacity. be called to consider. Tie Missouri
Compromise line was established BY an act
Of Congress it was repealed by an act oil
Congress and, it is ever restored, It re-
quires an act Of Congress to reinstate 1t. u
the question of its restoration is OF any lm-
portance in the Presidential election, Thrust
be because there'is likelihood, or at least a
possibility, that Congress will pass an act for
that purpose, which will be submitted TO the
President for his approval. II it is certain
beforehand that no such act will ever come
before the President, the whole question is
frivolous and idle. or at last has no pertlnence
to the Presidential election.
We suppose il will not be con,roverted that
il Congress ever passes an aci reinslaling The
Compromise, il will be prior 10 the passage OF
an art admitting Kansas into the Union as 4
to that event, lis restoration
would amour, 10 nothing, for hie two-od rea-
son that Congress has no constitutional power
to centred The domestic institutions OF State,
and that, even il il possessed The power, IT'S ex,

such would preyrn, the restoration. The whole
question, then. so far''a. il has aiy hearing on
The Presidential election, reduces i,seI to This /:
Whether there i. any possibility that snch an
lei can he passed before X tns4s is rife for al.
MISSION as State! n The negative can be &C.
nnns,rated. then all agitation Of The subject j.
futile and unwi.e.
The present Congress, whirh'has rejected a
bill proposing the resioraiion IT Tie Missouri

that lime Kansas will either be III the Uninn nI
knocking Al the doors II Congress for admission.
Il then an act for the restoration q the MIS-.
sonri Compromise il not passed by lLespresenl
or The nexl succeeding Congress, II IS certain
that il will never be passed Al all. The present
Congress will pass no such ACT, FOR The South
has large Democratic majority. The nexi
Congress will not pass II. Tor The reason ihsi the
Democrats will still have The aseendancy IN the
Senate. Even the mn-l sauguiar ni The Rcpub-
lican Journals admit this, snd M man ~ that

next Congress The Senate wall be- favorable q
