In the accord of Messrs. Douglas and Dixon, an undertone of discord may be detected. Mr.Mr. Dixon repudiates the restrictive provision of the Compromise of 1820 as void ab initio, for want of Congress, therefore a blank nullity--that, Mr. Dixon did not assert, nor would any true friend oft Kentuckian's memory insinuate it.

Magoffin, having refused, with insult, to respond to the President's call for Militia to maintain the Union, summoned the Legislature to meet once more, in extra session, assigning, as one reason therefor, the necessity of promptly putting the State in a complete position for defense.
