u ■**?*• In regard to that
u * Vers ‘ t y of opinion cx-
V • S the a; tubers of the
tec which had been testufests J
in the House; one portion believing it li
able to an interpretation repugnant to the
constitution of the United states; and the
other thinking it not exposed to that ob
jection, or that, ifit were; the exception
able interpretation was superseded by the
paramount authority of the Federal Con
stitution.
With these conflicting opinions, the
committee thought it best that, without
either side abandoning its opinion, an
endeavor should be made to frame an am
endment to the Senate’s resolution, which
compromitting neither, should contain
an adequate security against the violation
oftha privileges and immunities of citi
zens of other states in Missouri; and, u
majority of the committee thinking that
such security conld not be sufficiently af
forded without some previous act to be
done by the Legislature of .Missouri, the
amendment was finally agreed upon, which
they now beg leave to report.
According to this amendment, Mis
souri is to be admitted into the Union up
on the fundamental condition, that she
shall never pass any law preventing any
description of persons from going to and
settling in the said state, who now are,
or hereafter may become, citizens of any
of the states in this Union; and, upon the
Legislature of the said state signifying its
assent to that condition, by a solemn pub
lie act, which is to be communicated to
the President of the United States, he is
to proclaim the fact, and thereupon the
administration of the said state into the
Uo;on is to be completed, without any
further or other proceeding on the pact
of Congress To prevent, however, this
amendment from being considered as
impairing any right which may apper
tain to Missouri, in common with other
to exclude from the iurisdiction
persons under peculiar circumstances,
(such as paupers, vagabond*, &c.) a furl
ther proviso is added, declaring that no
thing in the said amendment is to be con
strued to,take from Missouri, when ad
mitted into »he Union, the exercise of
any right or power which the original
states may constitutionally exert.
The modification which the commit
tee thus respectfully recommend of Uu
3enate’s resolutions, is the result of aspirir
of concord under the gui lance of which
they have anxiously sought, with the sac
rifice of principle on either side, to re
concile the variant ooinio r >s among them
There cannot be a doubt but the Mis
souri. So licit ions as she must be, to par
ticipate in ail ;.h: high advantages of our
excellent anion, will eagerly seize ‘he op
portunity of testifying frr attachment to
the federal constitution, bv gi'ing the
solemn pledge which she ; s asked to make,
o respect the privileges and immunities
whici it secures to citizens of other states;
a pledge become necessary, in the opin
ion of a large and respectable portion of
the house, by the terms which she has
employed in a clause of her constitution.
No~ will there be a doubt of the sincerity
or efficacy of such a pledge- On the other
hand, if by postponing, for a short pe
viod, her admission into the Union, a cir
cumstance every day less and less impor
tant, inconsequence of the (apse of the
time allotted to this session, those, who
thought her invested with a perfect right
to be admitted, without delay, are not
fully gratified, they will be consoled by
th reflection, that the amendment re
quires only the performance of a precise
and simple act, which cannot be mistaken
by the highly responsible officer to whom
the judgement of its execution is bfmli
ded; and the whole house must be gt st
ifled with any proper disposition of the
subject, v h;ch will henceforth free the
public deliberations from the agitation and
disturbance to which it is but, too likely
always to give rise. And your commit
tee believe 'hat all must ardently unite in
.wishing an amicable termination of a
question which, it i. be longer kepi open,
cannot fail to produce, and possibly to per
petuate, prejudices and animosities a
moag a people to whom the conservation
of their moral tits should be even dearer,
if possiole, than that of their political
bond. Sharing, as (he committee do,
hugely in this sefatiment, they respectful
ly subnit to the house the amendment
which they propose; in the hope that it
will be received and considered in the
same spirit in which it has been devis
ed.
Strike out all after the word “be” in
the third Una of the Senate’s resolution,
ana insert
*• Admitted into this Union on an equal
looting with the original statejk in all re
spects whatever, upon the fundamental
condition, that the said state, shall ne
v?r pass any law preventing any descrip
ioa of persons from coming to and set
.lingin the said tgate, who now are or
hereafter may become citizens of any of
'he states of this Union; And provided,
siso, that the Legislature of the said
' ate, by a solemn public act, shall de
clare the assent of the said state to the
said fundamental condition, ami shall
transmit to the President of the United
States, on or before the fourth, Monday of
November nex-r, an authentic copy of the
aid act; upon the receipt whereof; the
President, by proclamation, shall an
nounce the fact; whereupon, and without
any furthef proceeding on (He part of
Congress, the admission of the said State
into this Union shall be considered as
complete. Ami provided farther, that
nothing herein contained shall be con
strued to take from the said state of Mia
souri; when admitted into this Union,
the exercise of any right or power which
can now be constitutionally exercised by
anv of the original stales-*’
The resolution; with the report, was,
on motion of Mr. Clav, Ordered to lie on
the table; and Mr. Clay give notice that
he should (ball for its consideration on

The Esquimaux Indians.
The mate and female Indians, which
have been exhibited in this city for some
weeks past, by a Capt Hodiock, it appears
were kidnapped, and that they were,
when taken, Strangers to each other.
Suspicions to this effect, have existed
for some time; but, from the threats of
Cap Min Iladlockto take their lives if they
, divulged the secret, (for it appears that
they both speak the English language,)
it was difficult to obtain any information
from them.
Frederick A. Tallrnadge, esq. in order
to be convinced as to their real situation,
j prevailed ujoa tbs keeper of the bouse
where they lodged, to visit their room in
the night atler Capt. Ila ’lock hud gone to
bead. He did *0; and after a long interview,
succeeded in inspiring the Indians with
confidence, who related to him the fol
lowing facts:—
That the man called an Indian Chief, by
Capt. Hadlock, whs out in bis canoe fish
ing on the cost of Labrador, which was
his occupation. That he had been long
in the habit of hording English and Ame
rican vessels, and had learned the Eng
lish language. That he wis invited along
side of Capt lludlock's vessel, when he
was immediately taken on board, and put
into tlie hold, and bis canoe hoisted on
board and concealed, After thi, (; a pt. 11.
sailed some distance down the cosu, lit sent
five men on shore, and stole the women
and her infant from her father's hut. That
when she came on board, it wjs discover
ed that sh- also spoke English, and re
monstrated, but without effect: and that
before she was awed into silence, the Cap
tain knocked her down on the deck, and
ultimately put her into confinement. The
man also states, that the dress of seal.skins
with which they are now clad, is not Un
dress they wear in the country of their
nativity, but were made on board for the
purpose of imposing them upon the pub
lie as natives of some other part of the
coast.
This information obtained. Mr. Till
madge made his honor the Mayor acquaint
ed with the farts, who immeiiatly by ha
beas comms, ordered the captain and In
dianafofae brought before him at the City
Hall, where a full examination took place
on Tuesday, in presence of the Recorder,
All the above facts being fully confirmed ■
the Mayor issued two writs against Cap',
Hadlock, for the false imprisonment of the
two persons His honor then offered to
take bail of 2,000 dollars on each writ,
which Capt H. being unable to give, he
was sent to prison to await the result.
We are glad to be able to a ate that al
though this man and woman have been
shut up together, they have conducted to
wards eacli other as perfect strangers, and
that no improper familiarity has taken
place between them.
Ou turning to our files we find that
Capt. Hadlock, with the above persons,
arrived at Ncw-London on the lltti f
iLci. mbcr lost in the schooner Five Bro
thers, of Mount Desert, from a grating voy
age in Davies Straits,with an Indian Chief,
his -anfe and child, who were persuaded
*,o accompany him on his promite to return
them.
Since the above was in type, we waited
upon Capt. Hadlock, in the Debtors* Pris
on—We made him acquainted with the
above statement, which he denies in toto,
and informs us that his attorney, Gen. Uo
gardus, has been furnished with facts to
disprove all the above allegations, as will
be made to appear on his trial. Capt. il
expressly told us, that the Indians not on
ly came away with him voluntarily, but
that he left with their friends 80 dollars
in money, and a considerable quantity of
provisions, with a promise that he would
return them to their homes in June next
Immediately after the above interview
with Capt. H. we visited the Indians at
Butler’s Hotel, No. 7 Park, near the old
Theatre; but they both appeared embar
rassed, and did not seem inclined to say
any thing to implicate the Captain, evi
dently avoiding answers to questions tend
ing to criminate him.
Understanding from Mr. Butler that the
Indians had been educated hy one of the
Missionaries, wq asked him to write his
name, and handed him a pencil and a piece
of paper, on which he wrote, in a decent
baud, and legibly, MAKUNGITUK. We
then asked him to right the name of the
squaw, who, he said, was not his wife.
He wrota TONNUJ A K, and being reques
ted to wright the name of her male child,
he wrote EKELCAK. He held his pen
cil well, and the hand writing may he
seen at this office. After this, a gentle
man present asked him to chalk out the
Labrador coast, which he did, including
Bell Isle, which he named, and pointed
out the residence of the nation to whichl
he belonged.
Thus, without prejudice, and without
any wish to give an improper bias on this
subject, we have honestly and faith
fully given the particulars which have
come to our knowledge

“ Student of the Richmond Academy”
