The decision Of the Supreme Court, he
was vel almosrinclined to doubt whether he

his nosi,ion. Mr.. Burt then rend from the
record the case of Groves VS.. Slaughter
nrecisely the same TO which Mr.. Tuck
had referred-and instead Of justice Nc
lean delivering the argument oil the Court
:, was delivered by Justice Thompson.
J,s,ice Mclean only delivered an opinion
on a subject not invo we'd in the question.
and merely in extension. The opinion OF
lie Court, so far from being that slaves
were moi property under The Constitution
of The United States, was, that The guess
lion al issue entirely depended uron the
construclon placed on The Constitution oj
,be Stale of Mississippi; and the only
question decided was whether a n"'e' W.
ven for saves) the suhjcc! ol dispu,e' was
void under tina, Constitution, which inter-
dic,ed the importation Of slaves as mrr>
cbandise, or whether that clause oi The
Cons,;,ulion had been carried ino effect
bv the Legislature of Mississippi! My lin,
lis will not permit me TO give a detailed
history oflhis case; but sufficient is written
~ show that Mr. Tuck was too positive
in his assertions, and, as Mr.. Burt suspcc'
red. had not read the decisions OF The SUI
nrcme Court. Mr.. Burt lriuErphan'ly
challenged anv man who Gratcrn>ed with
MIR. Tuck, 10 produce single decision Of
The Supreme Court, which holds that slaves
are no, property.
MIR. Woodward ably delivered few re-
marks in support of the position that slaves
are properly, and slaves are persons. Pro-
per,y for the purposes OF taxation; persons
for The purpose of apporlioning Rcprcsen-
talivcs; and this was The compromise OF
The trainers Of llle constitution.
MIR. VenabIe of North Carolina, as an
offset 10 the assertion of poor Tuck, refer
red 10 tho journals Of Congress of 1873,
Justice Mclean, who was then member,
voted for direct tax on slaves as proper
ty.
Ir,hc owners refused 10 pay the tax, the
slaves were subject to seizure by the mar
snail, and sold for The benefit of the United
States Negroes had always been taxed.
Messrs. Chapman, Of Maryland, ard At
kinson, Of Virginia, declared that slavery
was right in the sight of God and man {;
and Mr.. Holmes said that people had a
right 10 property in persons, and that
Southern men will exercise that rlsh, over
four millions of slaves, irrespective Of the
fanatics Of the North.
Mr.. Collamer, of Vermont. spoke against
tile bill, and MIR. Giddines repeated his ab-
oliion speech for the sixly-ninlh time,
