IL will, therefore. be seen tina, the friends
Of frelom have the right To consider this
decision as extra jldieial-ihe Court having
attempted to accomplish what IL had no
right to 90. II this attempt 10 carry slave
~ ,rry,rhers by the Interpretation Of the
Constitution, against the universal opinion
OF the fuincrs Of that instrument, and
against The former decisions OF tho Supreme
Court, is successful. OF like to be success.
ful, TnE AGITATION ~ TnE SLAVERY QUESTION
Is NIT Jrsr nrcrS. The great principle OF
Freedom lies at the foundation Of this Re
public; and the popular will is destined
sooner or later TO secure It against all party
Vaccinations and all decisions OF Suprcmcly
sectional Judges The men, in the interest
OF Buchanan, black democracy and slavery,
who uphold this decision, are destined 10 a
dela, rs signal as that of the British At
Yorktown, or as that Of the fcicrai-ts who
advocated the establishment Of the alien and
scliton laws. Can It be supposed that the
Supreme Court as now constitutcl--a ma

the whole population Of this nation-can
,ramplc the spirit Of Liberty under foot, aud

little body blot out the stars Of heaven.

An Illinois Sheriff Selling a Man
at Auction.

The Sheriff Of St Clair county advertises
a negro man for sale at public auction, he
being guilty of The "high misdemeanor' OF
havil come into The Tree State of Illinois,
and remaining here Tor tel days, Tor which
ofEense he YVES fined $50, as provided by the
infamous Black Law framed by the Demo.
cratic Legislature OF 1853, and in default
county in which he was found, is directed
by the same Black Law, to sell him to any
body ling TO pay tie 500.
The law b. which So great an outrage is
to be perPetrsted upon poor helpless man,
whose only crime is a dark skin, Is entirely
worthy of the Douglas Democracy A
beast Is net denied the God-eiven privilege
OF cunning into the State oi lliinvis when
ever it chooses, but the unfortunate black
man is ruled out, as il his co.or was deadly
was moi entitled to the exercise of The same
rights and privileges, as the most ravenous
beast or must disgusting brute.
The Infamous laws Ivy which the black
man is thus deprived OF his right to come
and iesoe in our State, aud which imposes
inhumun and bal barous penalty if he pre-
sumes to exercise such right, ought, as a
matter of justice and humanity, to have been
repealed by our late Legi, lature-and they
would have been so repealed, but for the
narrow-souled opposition of the Douglas
politicians - Chicago Journal.
The Chicago Journal of the 25th, says:
