why q part of the court dissented. They may
have anticipated a change in popular opinion; they

government. by the Declaration there was no
change in the relations which persons in Colonies

As authority for these assertions, | refer you to
the Colonia! laws, tho records of the Colonial
courts, the decision of those courts, to the statutes
Of your native Maryland, and to those Of the 9th.

Slaves who trembled in their presence and bowed

not confined to a particular race, complexion, OIL

UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE
FUGITIVE SLAVES.

On Tuesday morning last our town was thrown
into much commotion in consequence of an al
most successful attempt to capture eight runaway
slaves, for which rewards are offered Of upward of
$1,000. 1t seems that some time during Monday a
man come to Sheriff Green with the information
that be had discovered eight runaway negroes, and
had made arrangements to have them in Dover
that night. the negroes surprising they were to be
concealed in town until tho next night and then
wend their way upward. Accordingly about A
O'Clock on Tuesday morning, the man and the ne
grces appeared at the Jail. While the Sheriff
was dressing, they all entered the Jail. went up
stairs lin the dark, found an open room and went
into it, bu. there being no fire they came out into
the entry.
By this time the Sheriff had dressed and follow
ed them up stairs, surprising that he would find
them in one of the rooms and that all he would
have to do would be 10 close and bolt the door,
On discovering that they were all in the entry. the
Sheriff returned TO his room for his revolver. The
negroes, anxious to get to Il fire, followed him
down aud we've all in the Sheritfs room, where his
wife and child en- were asleep, before he could
seize his revolver. BY this time the suspicion Of
one of ihe negroes was aroused, and with the
exclamation he didn't like de looks OBJ de place;
Use gwine out C. dis" he bolted for the window.
The Sheriff seized him, and while engaged in the
struggle, the rest of the negroes burst through au-
other window and escaped, first scattering the fire
over the floor, the man standing trembling in the
door like the veriest craven.hearted coward. The
Sheriff alarmed by his family and ihe fire, let 90
the negro for o. moment, when in an instant he
bounded through the window and was gone. Thus
they all escaped. Six Of them were tracked to a
house in Camden. but the officers could not enter
for the want Of sufficient warrant which the mag
l~istrates said they had no power TO give. On Tues.

day night it is currently reported, the six were
conveyed to the house OF q man residing near Viii
low Grove whence they were forwarded up the
country y the forest roads, or rather on the un.
derground railroad. The other two were seen,
shortly after the escape from the Jail, going out
of Dover in a n%ortherly direction. The fault of
the escape is attributable entirely to the ~hoggish-
ness OF the man who tolled the negroes into Dover.
Groedy.to get the whole reward, he would not per.
nit a small force to share it with him and he got
none. The negroes we're all armed with cudgels
and pistols. The rewards offered for their appre.
hension vary from $500 to $500 each.-D oper re.

LETTER FROM MR.. GIDDINGs TO JUDGE
TANEY-THE TRUTH OF HISTORY VIM
Dictated.

We have Just received from Mr.. Giddings the
following able and interesting letter which is the
first of a series of four upon Judge Taney's opin-
ion and which is of sufficient importance to justi-
fy the space it occupies,
NUMBER ONE.
SIR The doctrines enunciated by the Supreme
Court 10 the case of bred Scott, if sanctioned by
the people, must work an entire change in the
character of our government. That christian de-
mocracy which has been onr pride and boast for
more than eighty years, will be transformed into
an oligarchy unsaited to the age in which we live.
If approved, it will constitute a revolution
These considerations are my apology for address
ing you.
do this the more readily from the fact that we
have both arrived at an advanced age, and cannot
expect personally to share long in the blessings
of free, or the curses of slsvehOlding institutions.
You have served many years in the Judicial de-
partment of government: | have long been honor
ed with a seat in its Legislative branch. You
we're appointed by the Executive independently of
the people: | was elected by the popular vote
independently of the Executive views | will
speak what | believe TO be the sentiments of my
constituents:
The right of the people to discuss and publicly
scrutinize the action of every branch of their gov
eminent to dismiss their public servants il they
think proper, elect others, and if necessary to
the enjoyment of their right to alter, modify, or
change government itself, has been so long and so
fully established, that | will not argue il.
I am sorry to say that the announcement Of
your decision, simultaneously with the publication
Of that epitome Of its doctrines which constitute
the inaugural address of the present Executive,
gives reason to suppose that an arrangement was
made to send them forth to the country at a time
when Congress was not in session, when the atten-
ton of the people was diverted from the action of
those who administer the government. This sus-
pioion is strengthened by the delay of your decis-
ion from last year, apparently to avoid popular
scrutiny during the Presidential canvass, when
the odium attached TO it would have been WELD

Est. That the eoiored people decended from AS
ricau slaves, though free, were not embraced nor
intended to be included in The declaration OF

Cd. That they were not embraced in the Const'
