Tancy'x Decision and Nnturnlixed
Foreigners.
According to Judge Taney's decision in the
bred Scott case, naturalized foreigners, and
the descendants Of foreigners naturalized
since the formation Of the Constitution, are
not citizens, and have not the rights Of cti
gems of the United States. That aged judi
cial functionary says: "Every person, and
every class and description of persons ut the
i time OF the adoption of the Constitution,
regarded as citizens of the several states, be-
came citizens of this new political body, and
none other. HWds framed for them, and
their postertty, and nobody else" As the
naturalization laws were not passed until af-
ter the adoption OF the Constitution, this
doctrine would, If followed out, disfranchise
not only all naturalized foreigners, but their
natiye-born posterity. This is infinitely hard
or than Know Nothngism. Yet it has the
sanction of the Democratic party.
