The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1857-03-21

which can justify In the slightest degree the assertions
which We have copied in the beginning Of this article from
the New York Tribune7 The Tribune describes itself
assaied no longer in Congress the plains OF Kan
sas but Tin the Supreme Court of the United States II
this language that the editor
OF the Tribune is deprived of right which he ought
to enjoy in with other citizens and that northern
man is degraded by the Supreme Court into an inequality
somehow other with southern man Yet is there any
foundation in actfor such statement his2 Horace
Greeley possessed of the same precisely under the law
of the Scott and every other case any other free c
zen OF the Union? Is there single right privilege as
serted in the Judgment referred to in favor of southern
man. that is not also asserted in favor of northern
Ifso should be glad to have it pointed out us but
if not with what show of justice common
sense do the Tribune and its kindred prints decaim
stany about the degradation of the NORTH How the
North the South degraded when they enjoy equal pot
ica rghtsa How lash himself into fury about
tyraunica assaults upon his liberty when he enjoys pre-
cisey much freedom any Of his fellow-czens
The writers and of the Garrison and Parker school
reve constantly in perfect prodigay of license They
preach abolition and nfdeiy 10 their way and to
their hearts content They molesed themselves
and they heap anathemas upon others If anybody the
face of this earth enjoys greater liberty than they do
confess tEa cannot imagine where that person resides
And yet to hear them talk TO read their writings one
would think they suffering under greater oppression
than any which induced crushed and desperate
people to fly to arms Here they are living under the best
government in the world, with social enjoyments all
around them, plenty every side, secure in their
and in their property schools provided for their
children and churcbes proclaming, from time to time
the safety and quiet and religious culture of their homes
and yet instead of devouy thanking God that their lines
have thus fallen to them pleasant places they fill the air
with complaints they assa the structure Of society," and
they make upon the which protects them
We appeal all good citizens to dscountenance the agi
tons of such men, and think calmly and dspassionaey
for themselves upon this whole subject of slavery and the
constitution The opinions of the majority Of the Supreme
Judicial Court in the bred Scott case, will be pub
shed and will then be entitled receive the candid
sideration of the American people If they shall make
their way last to public approval Notwithstanding the
they have received in advance they will only
peat the lesson Of previous judicial decision, which de-
to be remembered The judgment Of the Su-
peme Court in the of Prigg Pennsylvania, the
subject of returning fugitive slaves also assailed
in the beginning with denuncatioE and rdicule but was
may be that the decision in the Scott case may receive
equally general assent WILL at all events be
tcay respected and the people will examine with the
reasonings upon which is founded Until these reason
ngs published 1t is the part of wisdom for those
whose impressions are against the decision 10 suspend
their judgments.
