was the same as was entertained by Chief
Justice STORY Who does not know that
the late lamented Mr.. WEBSTER, whilst
Secretary of State, frequently refused 10
give passports to negroes, who designed
travelling in foreign countries ? Who does
not know that decision at one time given
by the late WM WRr, is not in conson-
ance with the decision Of seren, out of the
nine OF the judges of tho U. S. Supreme
Courtg Who does not know, that the de-
cision rendered in 1885 by Chief Justice
Daggett does not cover all the ground oc-
cupied by that Of Chief Justice TANEY, in
1857, and bis confederates, in the decision
Of the Drcd Scott case? Aud yet Mr..

Inc remainder OF the address OF Mr.
Aoernethy to the people OF the territory
is peculiarly 'mpTesslre as to what be knows
about the interests OF the people OF the
territory and as to what be would do in
their behalf provided they would give him
votes enough to elect him. Do not be
alarmed from any thing on that saSre you
'rW get votes enough to elect you-tO stag
at home.
Chief Justice TANEY is not politician
never has been politician, but is purely
legal gentleman. 1t becomes his duty,
in the discharge of it, to place legal con.
struction upon tho Constitution of the
United States, and there is an oath oil
Office administered to him before God, to
the effect that be will be honest and faith.
