THE DRIED SCOTT DECISION.
Mr.. Corwin, speaking Of the so called
bred Scott decision said:
"Chicf Justice fancy thinks that he is the
final appeal in the United States, but there
il a nod high above him, who is the Chiel
Justice of the Universe, and Chief Justice
Tancy's decision was not made Eve minutes
before it went up TO that Court and was re.
lpealed."

promising anti-slavery man, in 1886, ii
which MIR. Adams said that he did not regard

bound, though be hated slavery, to carry out

Mr.. eorwin did not think that England O,
France or Spain would ever allow us to buy
Cuba, and even II they did, it would no.

Mr.. corwin, after speaking Of the Dred

the Territories are thus TO be nocuiated with
Slavery, and under this unfair influence, d
State IL formed with . Slave Constitution

never vote for it NEyER NEVER! You
may roast me alive, hnven't much fat, but

admit Slave State under such circum.
lstances."
