Here for the first time so far as | hsve discovered,
the sovereign" ns;ion of South Csrohns has PIE
tended TO make sIy distinction as TO the color of her
v,teIs. She started the of sovereignty, II
l776 II company with Georgia, North Carolins, Mary
snd Massachusetts,, and the other States. Not even
little Delaware at that period, to have had suy
COZ suion or statute sgsirst culored voting what
ever the practice might have been South Carolina,

professor. Two years sfter the Declaration Of Iade
p,IGeICe sud her own corresponding Stste Constltu-
ten she SNUG sled in the word &" sie Nine yesrs
s't,r 81 just as the Federal Convention was assem-
blug. Delaware, ridOnt constitutional authority,
tuacts similar statute This is all that remains tor
Jutge Taney's sweeping declarations to stand upon.
The fair presumption IT, that the citizens Of the other
States with few ard exceptions IN voting & adopt
the Federal Cor st,uton had no knowledge nor SUPP
con of the fact trst Delaware and SOah Carolina VI
excluded coored voters.

cooied voters by South Carolina In us and by Della

res forbids the Liberation Of slaves taken by tbsir
masters into Fee State, and thu, opens all the Free
States TO the admission of slaves might add the
kr dred demand whether the affirmation of all this. by
Judge Tarey, is not preparing ths way for decision
of the Federal Courts denying the constitutiouaiy Of
the Acts of Congress forbiddipg the Atc,n Slave
