OPINION OF A STATEsMAN.-The sham Dem
ocracy are in the habit of quoting extracts from
the speeches of Henry Clay for the presumed
benefit of the Republicans; we are happy on
this occasion to reciprocate BY quoting the
opinion that great man entertained of the lead
ing dogma in the Dred Scott case, which the
sham democracy have adopted:
| am aware that there are gentlemen who
maintain that in virtue of the Constitution the
right to carry slaves north of that line (36 deg.
80 min.) already exists and that of course, those
who maintain that opinion want no other Sc
curity for the transportation of slaves north Of
that line than the Constitution. If had not
heard that openly avowed,I should have regard
ed it as one of the most extraordinary Ossump-
tinns, and the most indefensble position that
was ever taken by man"
This was the view, we believe, which James
Buchanan took of this subject until he was cl-
evated to the Presidency. During the last year
he has made astonishing discoveries.
