From the .Netg York Columbian
TIE MISSOURI QUESTION.



All men are free and equal" says the
American Constitution. The assertion is false,
saws late decision OF the American Cungress.
Slavery should not be tolerated by free peo-
ple, has been The saying OF the wise 10 all ages.
-"Slayery Is productive Of prosperity" says
our Soulbein brethren. Slavery Is an evil 10
he dreaded, says sound policy. Slavery is
Necessary evil, says Interested cupldliya


II isVe curse OF the free people oi AIneri-
ca. that slavery exists among Us. II is the
misfortune OF the Southern people, that habit
has rendered slavery "a necessary evIi' TO
them.


The admission OF Missouri into The Union
with the toui blot OF slavery affixed to her, Is
an evidence Of national imbecIiIty, and a sIig-
ma upon our free institutions. Missouri now
comes among her sister states, not erect aud
fair, but deiorned and detempered.


The names OF the dough faces will descend
10 posleriy.--Conempt and disgrace will al
tach themselves 10 their memories. Political
Arnolds viii ever be considered base aud in
famous


The sirtuous minority will always be hon
ofed. Their votes on the side oi virtue their
hrmness in the cause OF liberty; their consis.
iency their contempt OF gasconsding COW
ardIce, and their perseverance, IN the path OF
duty, entt'e them 10 ,he respect OF all men,
and OF all parties.


The dough faces are irretrievably lost. At
the North, they are considered aposlates and
lime-serers and at Inc South, they are Ie-
gsrded a convenient creatures and unnd tools.
But the Missouri question is settled. The
question has been soiemnly determined by the
representatives OF the nation. Il is our duty
TO abide by that observation-disclosures 10 acqui-
esce in that decision. Let this question be
sgiialed no more--let Missouri be admitted
peac.sby toto the Union; but lei il be re-
meInbered, that SUCH THINGS As DoUGH-FAcEs
EXIST, AND LET THEM BE REMEMBERED.


TRUE BLUE.
