incompatible principles, and because it is IN.
equal and unjust in its operation. Disguise
il as We may, we cannot change the essential
nature Of a protective duty, which means a
bounty levied upon one interest for the benef /
Of another; and the thing is still the same,
whether We contemplate ii as primary object
CT a necessary result-whether We accompli d
it by indrection or in a straight forward way.
TIE principle Of incidental protection was in
corpOrated in the taIifi Of 40, and by its ope,
ration the agricultural interest OF the South is
made to pay an annual tribute Of millions for
the aggrandizement of the manufacturing III
terest If tbs North.
Now, shall this principle of "incidental'
protection be observed and perpetuated in the
proposed reduction Of the present rates of i'm
port or snail 1t be discarded, and in Its
stead snail there be substituted a system of
taxation winch will press with equal and i'm.
partial weight upon every interest and every
section OF the country! Shall the duties be
taken from the commodities which are EN-
ployed In manufactures, and be imposed upon
the arIs.ss which are used In agriculture
In the hrst case, l. would be nothing more nor
less than to give 50 much advantage To the
! manufacturing interest oyer every other in.

manufacturer Of New England may buy his
raw material free Of duty, while the planter
of the South pays twenty or thirty per cent
impost on the clothing Of his negroes, the i'm
plements of his farm, &C., is equivalent to a
protective duty Of twenty or thirty per cent
in favor Of the manufacturer; or, to simplify
the proposition, to bounty of twenty or thirty
! per cent. distributed to the manufacturing in

articles in tho same proportion.

DRED SCOTT CASE.
Dissenting Opinions of lodges Mclean
and Curtis.

Associate Iasiice Mclean proceeded to
express his views in the case of Dred Scout
against Sanford. After stating the facts
relative to the subject, the plea as To iuris-
diclion is radically detective. 1t has never
been held necessary that TO constitute cili-
zen, man should have the qua Iification ol
an elector. Females and minors may sue
in the federal Courts, and SO may an indi. i'd
ual who has his domcil in the State n which
he may sue. The most general definition
of citizen is Il freemcD. The plea does
not show Dred Scot. 10 be Il slave. Ii does
not lUlow man is not free whose ances-
tors were slaves 1t was said colored citi-
zens are not agreeable members OF society
bu. this was more matter of taste than
matter OF law. Several of the States have
qdm itted such persons to the right OF suif.
rage, and recognized them as citizens and
this has been done in slave as well as in
free States. On the subject of citizenship
W have not been very fastidious. Under
the late treaty with Mexico, we Eavr made
citizens of all grades, combinations and
rolors. The same was doLe in the case of
.,uisisna and Florida No one ever doubt
