Resoired. by The Senate and House of ReDre-
senfdiioeS, That the supreme court of the United
States, being The highest judicial tribunal in this
republic, ought TO be conspicuous for its wisdom,
learning and dignity that the protection of the
interests and individual rights Of the subject ought
to be its especial care; that any departure by
any member Of that court from established rules
ofjudicial propricty is calculated to degrade the
tribunal and lesson the respect with which its
opinions ought 10 be received that whenever
a y such member seeks by any act to convert
that court into political institution, 10 make it
an instrument 10 carry into effect the designs of
political party, such Conduct ought to mset the
emphatic and decided Repatriation of the people.
Resolced, That The opinions and views px-
pressed by several members Of that conn, com
prising lis majority, upon questions moi contained
in the record in the bred Scott case, are extra
jadIcaI aud political possessing no color of au-
thorliy or binding force, and that such view, and
opinions are wholly repudiaied by the people OF
