Taney, which declares that the coloiod
man Is not and cannot be a citizen Of Che

have no right TO prohibit the southern

their soil, and holding them there as
such; II Il cannot ooerce the people Of the

Certainly the people Of the North cannot
be so hardened 10 crime, as not immedi,
ately TO repent Of their gliovous trausgres-

magnauimous proposition.
But northern voters arc somehow, as a
class, q common sense, matter-of.iect
sort Of men. They never refuse proiIerod
assistance il they need II. But before re.
eeiying tho aid SO generously extended to
them, they naturally look about them. 10

tho people aforesaid, tho cry Of "amalga.

ears. after tho paroxysm Of terror which

The Locofocos are MemseiUes vehemen

So morbidly anxious are they to harp up
