DRED SCOTT.
what may this mean,
That thou, dead eorse, again
Rsvisif,t thus the glimpses Of the NOON ?"

"e '"NNi uSoN NOlHe, hSilu
Rsvisit'st thus the glimpsos Of the NOON ?"
DRRD Scorr is dead-very dead, indeed-dead
politically and dead literally. Having lived the APP
o ted number OF his days, and fully subserved,
Ne was supposed, the questionable purpose of his
existence, he died, and was buried. The facts Of
his demise and sepulturc may be proven, by afida-
Wit, IL requisite. But bis "bones that were hear
sed in death, have burst their cerea, ents," and the
consequence is that this very remarkable niger,
like Monsieur Tonson, has come again. We
think, however, that it is not the immortal part Of
the African tina, posters us now; for we doyou,ly
h0pe that his spirit is rejoicing in the grand as
semblage Of just men mado perfect. We incline
70 the belief that for this unbidden and uutimely
visit, we are indebted to certain body -snatchers
u class of men who will steal a corpse for the con-
federation Of o very small advantage.
We may as well make a clean breast Of il. We
regret, for some reasons. TIE decision of the Su-
preme Court in the bred Scott case. 1t is pro-
ductive of consequences very calamitous indeed to
a largo lumber of persons. We allude, of course,
TO the politicians of the Republican party, who
have lied themselves beyond all hope of salvation,
in their persistent and wilful Misrepresentation
Of that decision.
The most stupendous falsehood ever uttered by
a mere mortal, was the assertion that the Supreme
court held that "the negro has no tights which
the white mar is bound TO respect" The printed
decision Of the Court was scattered broadcast over
the country, and was accessible to every man who
could read. 1t contained not a single sentence
which could possibly boar q construction, or Jus
city q deduction so monstrous. And yet the lie
was persisted in, and adhered to, and even made
the pretext of prayers to the Almighty for ven
geance on the Supreme Courtl Well all this
was OF some advantage to US privately and person
ally; for, with every desire to be orthodox, we had
always boggled at the dogma of total depravity,'
until the Republican politicians gave US an illus
tration which even k epticism itself could no long
or question or cavil at.
What ncStl This question leads to a consider
alton of the purpose for which bred Scott has
been disinterred, 1t is now asserted that the Su-
preme Court held, in the bred Scott case
THAT the stakeholder has a right to 20 lust
where he pleases with his slave and the people
have no rights; but are subservient to the will of
the master. ia palmer terms, that this is a slave
government, only Ct to breed slaves. The free
States have nc right to exclude slavery, but must
eabxsit to dictation by the master who chooses to
bring his slave into the State Of Ohio, aud there
hold him as long as he pleases. The people of
Ohio are thus sovereigns in name but not IN iact.'
There rs a sort Of necessity for ~rsfuting o fabri-
cation even go audacious as the above; and with
q sense of humiliation that such a necessity does
exist in a country so enlightened as this, we will

bred Scott was taken BY his master to Illinois, a
free State, and subsequently, returned voluntarily
TO the condition of a slave ia Missouri. The Court
held, that, by reason of his voluntary return, the
original condition of servitude re-attached, and
that the master might hold him as his property.
And now for the precedent which justified this de-
cision Of the Supreme Court Many years ago, Il
slave was taken by the master from the British
island of Antigua to England, and subsequently
returned with the master TO the island. "Slayes
cannot breathe in England )" and proceedings
were instituted in the proper English tribunal for
the freedom Of the slave. Lord Stowell, q jealous
anti-slavery man who was the Judge; and he gave

Stowell Submitted the decision he had made, and
asked for Judge Slory's opieion. The latter, with
GU, qualification, gave bis assent to its legality,
and declared that such would be his decision in a
like case.
We have now corrected the facts so much per
verified in the above extract. Tie Court never hello
that the master could bring his slave to Ohio,' OIL
to any other free State, and there hold him a

sovereignty of Ohio, or of any other free State. l
did not hold that this is a slave government, f
only to breed slaves. These deductions are utter
ly unwarranted, and very shameful to the maj
who makes them.
