now read, the Missouri question viii


cost the nation S64,sOO," instead of
S54,SOO, as before mentioned.


This subject produces great excite.


ment in Virginia, and some of the We


tern States, but the old republicn ha6


been so little used, flate years, to have


her whims contradicted, that like Coz


seted child, she grows quite restive b


opposition. We are happy to perceive


however, that her threats have no inAu-


ence on the minds Of the independent


Senator'S of the non-slave holding states
Mr.. Lowrie of Penn. in answer TO some


remarks of Mr.. Barbour, Virg. on the


terrible effects which he contemplated


from the imposition Of the restriction
as the dissolution of the Union, civil war,


&c. firmly observed that if the alterna-.
tive be, as gentlemen had broadly inti-|


mated, a dissolution of this Union, or
the extension of Slavery over the whole
western country, he for one would chose
the former. He said he di not say this
lightly the idea was dreadful one, IL
filled his mind with horror yet he did
not despair of the republic, and he be
lieved the question might be disposed of,
so as to satisfy the reasonable expecta-
tions of the people ofthe United States.
We must remark that the excitement is
principally confined to the slave holding
states in the northern states the ques-
ton is viewed with the calmness and SO.
lemnity which its importance demands. !
In Maine the conductaof the Senate, ia
connecting her with Missouri, has awak.z
ened some local feelings, distinct from
those which the subject of slavery would
produce, still these feelings, are express
ed in firm though respectful language,
and are restrained within the limits OF ]
reason, moderation, and .fsa!ty to The
Union.
