But Sir, in the estimation of the gentle
man of Brattleborough, this would be little
less that State treason.
lie tells us our fathers worshipped in this
mountain, (referring to the saying of an
old book) and he preferred to worship
where they worsmpped- down to no
Jerusalem on the cast or on the west.
Sir, when the gentleman proposed to
worShip- it inspired momentary hope
Of him notwithstanding all his mo-
raj obliquitits. But moments rellec-
ton dissipated this hope, for the gentle
man, true to his instincts, had pointed
to Gerizim, an idoatrous old noun
tain where his fathers whom he venerated :,
and agreeable to whose custom he would
worship, bowed down to idols. And what
is the chosen divinity of this modern
Samaritan Assuredly his confessions
upon the floor Of this house would seem to
make his cups his God! And most GER
tainly from the disclosures of the gentle
man of Woodstock and from common fame,
his iavorlte Divinity presides, over this
mountain.
Sir, call upon this house to weigh well
the prophetic words of the great teacher
sent from God-who declared-"Me time
should come When they should no longer nor
ship IN This mountain. Applying this allusion
as the gentleman has apphedit would hope
that time has come ! ain ready to leave this
mountain for II more desirable spot. | be
lieye that spot to be Burlington, and be-
lieye that the best interests OF the State
require that it should become it's capital

The decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the bred Scott case,
delivered on the 9th inst, may Justly
alarm all friends of the rights of man,
for it shows that the propagandists of sla-
very are secure of the Supreme Court to
help establish slavery throughout all the
territories of the Union. The five judges
from the southern states-Taney, Catron
Campbell, Daniel and Wayne-concur in
declaring the Missouri Compromise act of
ls2O-so far as it prohibited the extension
Of slavery in the erritories-unconstitu
tional. Judges Nelson of New York. and
Grier of Pennsylvania, lodged the constitu-
tional question, but declared Scott to be a
slave because of the acts Of Missouri Nc
Lean Of Ohio, and Curtis of Massachusetts,,
sustain the constitutionality of the compro-
mise
1t seems then, according to Judge fancy and
the others who concur with him, that when
the trainers Of the constitution declared one
of its purposes to be - to secure the bless
ing OF LIBERTY to ourselves and our poster
lty' they were asserting a stupendous
LIE! That when Madison said that the
idea of PROPERTY in MAN must not be ad-
mitted into the Constitution, he meant that
the authority Of the constitution might be
rightiully invoked to give power and spread
to the practice of selling and buying MAN.
like the beasts of the field
This decision does not portcnd cessation
oil agitation by any means. The struggle
between freedom and slavery in our country
Is only just begun.

The Decision Of the Supreme Court

A brief epitome of the opinions of the
Judges Of the [ $. Supreme Court, as given
in disposing of the bred Scott case on the
9th inst is all we have room for
Chief Justice fancy pronounced the deci
sion OF the majority IN an opinion occupy
ing several hours in its delivery. 1t en-
braced the following essential points.
|. No person Of the African race can be-
come citizen Of the United States, by any
means whatever. Therefore bred Scott, not
being Il citizen Of the L. States, cannot sue
In its courts. lie has not aad could not
have place there. The suit is dismissed
for want Of jurisdiction,
=. The Declaration Of Independence and
the Constitution of the United States had
no reference to anybody but the whites.-
Though the language of the Declaration
AL men are created equal" &c, is general
and ii used in a similar instance now would
embrace the whole human family, it was not
so understood then, The black race was
never thought of or spoken of except as
property"
" They have not the right to bear arms
and appear at public meetings to discuss
political questions or urge reasons of reform
which they might deem advisable They
cannot vote at elections, nor serve as Jurors.
nor appear as witnesses where whites are
concerned. These rights are secured in every
State to white men"
3. The ordinance of 1877 had no force TO
confer freedom on negroes within the North
west territory and it had no validity for any
territory not then owned by the States.
4. The Missouri Compromise Act of 1920
is unconstitutional and void
5. The right of property in Slaves is
expressly conferred by the constitution and
guaranteed to every State
The dissenting opinions of Judge Mclean
and Judge Curtis were given also at great
