BARDs AND sOFTs, AND OPPOSITION FALSE.
| HOODS.
| The democracy in New York were one time divided
growing, at fst of State matters and subsequently
extending in degree national questions Owing
these divisions they overpowered by their adverse
res The State government fell into mbecile and cor
rup hands her State debt greatly increased and her
financial independence seriously jeopardsd The game
threw the administration Of the national COVER
the hands of those opposed TO democratic principles
The different sections of the democratic party chris
tened by their enemies hards" and sos by way of de-
rison and contempt All matters Of former difference
adjusted and finally settled Cincinnati year. and the
two former organizations melted into ono, and the whole
party with energy and ZEAL united in supporting the prn
cpes there avowd and promulgated aud in electng the
candidates there nominated
| Local candidates nominated ard supported upon
the grounds and the utmost harmony everywhere
prevailed The triumph Of the democracy has become
matter Of history Those who bad been deceived into the
support of their enemies fast returning the demo-
cratic standard leaving the opposition little hope for
the future With them everything depends upon re-
vving and pcrpetuating divisions among democrats
Hence their organs pretend in places, that Mr.
Buchanan hvers the "solts,p and recognizes them
the solo democratic party and in Others that he repu-
dates them and adopts the hards. They know that
both statements false lie recognises the democratic
party, and not cques divisions the friends of bis
administration. His acts and appointments demonstrate
thr, and have good to believe that he win
not consider those friends who seek to perpetua,e
differences and difficulties in the democratic ranks, and
thereby render weak and prey to its enemies He
too wise and pndenta representative of democratic prn
cps to favor those Who either directly or indirectly give
aaid and comfort" to the enemies Of glorious Union
Thoss who wish we'll to bis administration will devote
themselves not to perpetuatng ealousies and differences
among h friends but to the dissemination Of those prn-
cples upon which be elected, and which alone
descendants the blessings of wse sefgovern-
ment
| AN UNJUST ASSAULT UPON CHIEF JUSTICE
| TANEY.
| The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser Of the stl instant
says:
"Chief Justice Taneys decision that negroe, citi
Of the United States and consequently entitled
the federal courts not only in contradiction the
action ofh executive department of the and
Of the laws of Congress, but in the very teeth OF
former decision Of the Supreme Court delivered by the Chief
Justice himself in lsis An Albany contemporary copies
- .f
the in the OF James Ash, Maryland negro, who
sued for his freedom in the circuit court of the District of
Columbia, bred Scott did in that Of Missouri The
in like carried up to the Supreme Court and
the following decision delivered by Chief Justice
| Taaey.'
This does great injustice to ihs Chief Justice and the
whole court The of Ash and Williams referred 10,
was instituted in the circuit court for the District of Co
umbs which Is the only existing Of record having
civil jurisdiction therein 1t has full and complete jur
dcon in all cases. The Of the 9th of February, 1901
provides:
"Tbat there shall be in the said District which
shall be called circuit of the District of Columbia
shall have cognzancs OF all [crimes and
osnces committed within said District and of all IN
lao "a equity bsfeen parties both either 81 Thtch shall
be residsnt or befound pithia said District"
In short the circuit has all the jurisdiction in the
District which both State and national courts have in The
several aes without regard to citizenship aeRage resi-
dence This of the District and in the Stats'
where the United States circuit courts have only limited u
rsdc,on b. the judiciary act of 1889 the civil jurisdiction
of these in suits Of civil nature of law or
10 equity is confined where the United States are
parties Plaintiff aor alien party he saH is 6e'een
citizen Of he State pherc the suit is brought and citizen
Of another Suen This statute, based upon the words OF
the constitution remains unaered except in patent
In bred Scott the plaintiff did slien
nor claim be such, but alleged that he "citzen
aud insisted the court had Jurisdiction the very ground
Of citizenship The Supreme Court following the past ju
dical decisions and the opinion of William Writ Attor
| uey General, held that he was not citizen.
The opposition be hard pressed for arguments to
reue those Of the deceon of the court when they resort
to such gross efforts deceive the public in relation the
past action Of the The authors of this attack well
knew the question of citizenship not involved in
Ashes case and that the courts had jurisdiction under II
laws Of the District where Congress by the constitution
had the power and exercised II to pass lave, which they
could not make applicable In the several States These
deceptons deprive those engaged in making them of
the confidence Of those whom they intend to deceive
