When the Supreme Court OF the U States.
in the famous case OF Dred Scott, pro-
nounced the opinion that negroes were moi
citizens Of the United States under the Fed
eral Constitution and laws, we have dis

publican press. from the eastern boundaries
of Maine TO the western boundaries OF ILL.,
I NOS and Ohio, was horror struck aud over
whemed with The most viruons Indignation

The vocabulary must have been searched for
epithets suited 10 be hurled al tho tribunal

cusion has been seized by this Black "Re-
publican" press, and the Black "Republi
can orators, 10 Congress and out, 10 az.
