The Rhode Island American, And General Advertiser

Mr. King's second Speech on the Missouri Question, during the present session, is highly extolled in a letter from Washington, published in the New-York Evening Post. This letter adds, "the rudeness with which his courageous avowal of the principle of the natural right of man to freedom, was assailed by those Senators who support the diffusion (as it is called) of Slavery, has certainly gained friends to the cause of restriction." It will be seen by a reference to our Congressional diary, that Mr. Pinkney has been gratified in an opportunity to "break a lance" with the most distinguished man in the Senate.
