TANEY rs BURNsIDE.-Judye Taneys
Decision set aside Ly Democratic Jvdge !
AT the late term of our County Court,
John Boyer, q negro, applied for license
to sell groceries, &c, which was granted
by Judge Burnside. The law of the State
forbids the granting Of license to persons
who are not citizens. Judge Taney lin bis
late decision in the Dred Scott case, decided
that negros and mulattoes we're not citizens. |
but chattels, things, property, &C., and
outside of the pale Of the law. Judge
Burnside, by this act, has decided other
wise. Which is correct, Burnside or
Taney! As they are both Democrats, will
some Of our professed democrats be kind
enough TO inform us!-Lock Haren Hatch.
