Chief Justice Taney and slavery.

It has suited the Abolition journals 10 rep
resent this gentleman as a large STAKEHOLDER;
whereas the following seems TO be the fact,
from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Lei the decision speak for itself; but Mr..
Taney, personally, is opposed to slavery, 10

though never wealthy, be freed every negro

one, his body servant, has been the head
waiter in one of the largest hotels in Balti-
more for many years.
Judge fancy has always been the truest
friend of the black man, and it is related by
coemporary that The most eloquent speech
he ever made was at the Frederick County
bar, in defence of little Degro girl, in which
he thrilled his auditors by exalting the happy

little negro her rights and her lawful prolec-

most likely committed crime, Mr.. Taney's
eloquent appeal rescued her from the ven.

public and private, been characterized by
justice and generosity"

The young Spring LAP;
Ginning sunbeams filed his quiver
That February day;
Beside him pespsd the violet's eye,
And scented the breeze the orange blow
The Virginia red-bird whistled nigh,
Beat south by the northern snow!
On bis shield of COLDER sunshine
The young Spring lay;
OF lightning flashed in May;
"Thou, iyrani Winter hast come down
And overpassed they line!
I'll have ioray in thy field,
Since thou hast camped in mine!
Since over my southern floral cline

Breeze up for the North!
Birds OF sunny feather,

Norhward trooped the gallant Spring,
While Winter, cowed, retreated,
And left the plain for mountain tops,
Without fight defeated;
Where Hudson's rocks like dragons gape,
= Spring breaks their icy teeth,
And from the valleys turfy lap
He mel.s the snowy wreath-
Through fnildest dave he keeps the field,
While Winter nonhwsrd rallies,
And made an ambush for the Spring
That with his danger Jallies--
But the still woods hear the battle cry,
Aud warn the gentle Spring TO fly!
Down from the Adirondack .....
This second morn Of Spring
Come the vast @riel surges
Their foam like SHOWS to fling
Like hungry wolves Of Labrador
The gusty winds will howl and roar
Yet bonny Spring, God bless thee
For thy brief and bright foray-
