The Debate on the Missouri question has at length commenced in the Senate of the United States. The discussion has been brought on incidentally to the bill for the admission of Maine into the Union, it having been proposed, by way of amendment, to incorporate in the same bill a provision for the admission of Missouri into the Union, divested of the condition by which it has been proposed to exclude Slavery from the state to be erected in that territory. This question absorbs so much attention, that, until it is definitively settled, it may almost be said, no other business will be done in Congress. It was well observed on this head yesterday, by Mr. Macon, that the appearance of the Senate Chamber attested the importance of the question actually depending. Never were the galleries and lobbies more crowded. The Debate will of course be reported; and the publication of it will be commenced in this paper on Tuesday next.
