Rich.

One Of the richest scenes, says the Ohio
State Jonrnal, attending the closing of the
Legislature; was that presented by the
pretended Democracy when Mr.. Marsh
introduced bis Democratic resolutions,
whi \ will be found in our Legislative re-
~ VThc frstresoulon is the same one
wI5 was adopted by the Democracy of
Ohio at.their Conventions in l045,' 80,
so, So, 81, successfully; but every man
Of them who voted on the resolution voted
nay while the Republicans voted yea,
thus proving that the Democracy have
abandoned their own principles, and that
the Republicans are the true Democracy
of the country, 50 far as the questinon of
Slavery is concerned.
The following are the proceedings re-
lerred 20. Mr. Marsh offered the sub
joined joint resolutions:
Resolved by the General ASSembIy0fIhe
State Of OAto, That the People of Ohio
now as they always have done, look upon
the institution of slavery as an evil, una-
yorabe to the full development Of free in
stitutons,a and Misunderstanding these senti-
ments, they will feel it their duty TO use
all powers consistent with the national COM
pact, TO prevent its increase, TO mitigate,
and finally to eradicate the evil 4.
Resoived, That the provisions of the
ordinance If Congress Of 1887, so far as
the same relates to slavery, should he cx-
EleHded to alllcrritory Of the United States
not yel anized into States. tH
ReS1ttd, That. our Senators and Rep
resentttives in Congress are hereby re-
qilesGedto vote against the admission OF

Tanev in 1913 VS.. Tanev in 1857.

Chief Justice TANEY turns Dred Scott
out Of Court on the GROUND that he is a
negro and slave, and consequently not
a citizen and not entitled to sue in the U. s.
Courts, even to recover his freedom--the
Court having no jurisdiction in such ca
scs The best answer to this is Chief
Justice Taney's own decision in similar
case, that came before him in l843
James Ash. a Maryland negro. and
slave, sued for his freedom in the Circuit
Of the District of Columbia, as Dred
Scott did in that Of Missouri. The case
was in like manner carried up to the U. S,
Supreme Court. But it met with diff:
fercnt decision.
Mr. Chief Justice Taney delivered the
opinion Of the Court. 1--WE quote from
NtIIiams Us. Ash, Howard s Reports, vol.
l PIP. l2, IS, IA
This case, said his honor, is brought
here by writ of error from the Circuit
Court, and came before that Court upon
petition for freedom. 1t appeared upon
the trial that the petitioner was the prop
erty Of Mary Ann Greenfield, of Prince
Georges County, in the Stale of Mary
land. who died in 1894, having first duly
made her last will and testament whereby
among other things, she bequeathed the
petitioner, with sundry other slaves, to her
nephew, G. I. Greenfield, with a proyiso,
in the following words: Provided he shall
not carry them out Of the State Of Mary
land, or sell them to any one, in eithr OF
which events, | will and devise the said
negroes to be free forlie.' Upon the death
Of the testatrix, G. T. Greenfield took
possession of the petitioner, James Ash
until December, 1899, when he sold the
petitioner to the defendant Williams
and the petition for freedom was filed
shortly after the sale
Upon this evidence, the Circuit Court
instructed the Jury, that by the fact Of
such sale Of the petitioner so bequeathed
to Greenfield, ceased and determined,
and therefore became entitled to his free,
dom. We think'the bequest in the will
was a conditional limitation of freedom tc
the petitioner, and that it took effect the
moment he was sold. The judgment oJ
The Circuit Court is therefore qDirmed.
So that this same Chief Justice ther
held that negro might not only be {
party to suit before the U. S Supreme
Court like any other citizen, but that {
slave might go there and recover his free
doml g..
Which is he law--that cxpounded by
fancy in l843, or his flat contradiction
of himself in 1857?

The LEGISLATURE.

This body adjourned sine die on SIT
utday morning the 10th inst, after labo-
rious session Of over three months. The
acts passed of a general and public nature
aM6dnts TO no less than one hundred and
seventeen; besides nearly one hundred Of
local. This looks like they did some
Thing notwithstanding the mean, low and
contemplate filings of few of the less
scrupulous Locofoco sheets and Lireling
Post Masters. We venture the assertion
without fear of its being truthiully con-
troyertcd, that no previous Legislature
has passed more beneficial Laws than the
present one. That a Republican Legis-
lature should receive one word Of com.
mendation from Locofoco Doughface
Editor is more than cou'd be expected.
