O.V TUB MI8S0URI QUESTION.
JANUARY . '
Mr. Macon, of North-Carolina, aaid, he agreed if) opto
ion with the gentleman who had declared ihl to be thegrcateit
quettiun ever debated in the Senate, and that It ought to be
discussed in the moat calm and cool manner; without Atv
temptir g to excite passion or prejudice. It wai, however, to
be regretted, that whde tome of1 those who suppcrted the
motion were quite calm and cool, they used a good many
hard, words, which had do tendency to continue the good
humor they recommended. He would endeavor to follow
their advice, but must be pardoned for not following thttr
example, in the use othard words: if, howevrr, onrahould
eat ape him, it would be contrary to his intention, and an ait
of indiscretion not of design or premeditation i he hoped to
examine the subject with great meekness and humility. "

than tliey deserve. U this be tbe case, and it. be an efror;
it was one he had oo desire to be free from, even,aitey whai
he had heard in this debate. Get clear of this Upton ipd
this constitution, and it will be found vastly more d&cullfa
unite again and form another, than it was to form this. ThexeJ
were ni parties in the country at the time it was Tornped;
not even upoa this question. Tbe men who carriea the ua
tiou through the revolution were alive and members of ta
convention ; Washington was at their head. ' Have yrt
Washington ti m ? No. Is there one in the nation I' to" jll
his place ? No, Hss like, if ever, has been V"" 4PD i
nor can we, rationally, expect another in bur day Xet u
not speak of disunion as an easy thins?. If ever it shall
unfortunately, come, it will bring evij (enough fyt Jfijbtt
men to encounter ; and all good men, in cv?ry nadofeHrcrs
of freedom, will lament it. This constitution if now u muck
an experiment as it was in the year 1789- It wcmV into o
perauon apout the time the French revolution - commented.
The war which grew out of that, and the difficulties aid ,

The amendment is calculated to produce geographical parties?,

geographical, can wish to sec them revived'. Their 'acta fortaer

meetings and resolutions to inflame one part of the nation agaihst
another, can never benefit the people, though they mat gratify
an individual, A majority of them want thing right. O-Ltavo
them to form their bwn opinions, without the Aid of inflamattrry
speeches at town meetings, and they will always form "them ; cor
rectly. ' What interest or motive can the geod people of one part
off the country liate, for meeting and endeavoring to intimidate:
those of another ? No town meetiog wa necessat- to inform
or inflame tlie public mind against the law giving member of
Congressa salary instead of a daily allowance. The people
formed their pwn opinions, disapproved it, and it was yepealed.
$o they will always act, if left to themselves. Let nonparties
formed at home for state nurposes, be broucht into Coneretf.'ta
disturb and distract the Union. The general government hither
jto has been productive enough of them, to satisfy those wfio most
delight in the,m, Uiat they are not likely to be long wanted in it.
Enough, and more than enough, has been produced, by the difji-
ulty of deevdine what is, and what is not, within the limits 'of
