1t is very we'll impressed upon the minds OF our
readers the strong, yea, very strong, resolutions
upon the vital question Of slavery extension, pass
ed by the Ohio Democracy, as they were proud to
style themselves, in their State Convention assem-
bled in Columbus on the 9Th day of January
1916, and annually thereafter, during tho Admin.
~istration Of Gen. Taylor and Mr., Fillmore. Those
resolutions denounced tho further extension Of sa.
very into territory then free, as anti. Democratic
and that the principles contained in the Missouri
Compromise in favor of Freedom, as being the
true and genuine principles or teuets of the party
at that time, and that the teuets Of the Democrat

the same great Democratic doctrine. Gov, Wood
said in his Message, whilst treating the subject OF
human s~layery-"Thus far shalt thou go and no
further" Standing upon that firm basis, their
eighth OF January resolutions stood the test, and
gained for Gen. Cass the State Of Ohio in that
Presidential race. They infused tho same great
life-giSing principles into their yearly resolutions
until the edict came forth FROM the South Carroll

IrANEY IN 1853 VS.. TANEY IN 1851

Chief Justice fancy turns Dred Scott out Of
Court on the ground that he is a negro and a
slave, and consequently not a citizen and not eRti-
tied to sue in the U. S. Courts, even to recover
his feedom-the Court having no jurisdiction in
such cases. The best answer to this is Chief JUS
tiee Taney.s own decision in a similar case, that
came before him in 1853.
James Ash, a Maryland negro and slave, sued
for his freedom in tho Circuit Court of the District
Of Columbia, as bred Scott did in that Of Nilsson
r.- The case was in like manner carried up to the
U. S. Supreme Court. But it met with a diff
ferent reception aud a different decision.
Mr.. ChiefJustice fancy delivered the opinion
ofthe Court. 1--WE quote from Williams Us.
Use, Towards Reports, vol |, PIP. 70, 10, l4.)
"This case" said his honor sis brought here
by writ oferror from the Circuit Court, aud came
before that court upon a petition for freedom. 1t
appeared upon the trial that the petitioner was the
property Of Mary Ann Greenfield, of Prince
Georges County, in the State Of Maryland, who
died in 1924, having first duly made her last will
aud testament, whereby, among other things, she
bequeathed the petitioner, with sundry other sla-
YES to her nephew, G. I. Greenfield, with a provi-
so, il the following words: Provided be shall not
carry them out of !he State of Maryland, or sell
them to any one, in either of which events, | will
and devise the said negroes to be free fer life
Upon the death of the t~estratix, G. T. Greenfield
took possession of the petitioner, (James Ash )unti
December, 1889, when he sold the petitioner tc
the defendant, lWiliams) and the petition fol
freedom was fled shortly after the sale"
Upon this evidence, the Circuit Court ihstruc.
ted the Jury, that by the fact of such sale of thc
petitioner, the estate or property Of the petitioner
50 bequeathed to Greenfield, ceased and determin
ed, and be therefore became entitled to his FREQ
dom. We think the bequest in the will was
conditional limitation of freedom to the petitioner
and that it took effect the moment be was sold.-
The judgement of the Circuit Court is therefor
affirmed.
So that this same Chief Justice then held tia
a negro might not only be patty to a suit beior
the u. s. Supreme Court like any other citizen
but that slave might 50 there aud recover hi
freedom!
Which is tho the law-that eXpounded by Tan
ey in 1853, Or his flat contradiction Of himself il
