Constitution was not made to apply to them in any
way, In 1853, when the majority of the Judges of
the Supreme Court were Slavery propogandists, fill
busters and haters of all colored men, decision was

decision s evidently wrong, that the question will

and resubmitted to them. The present Court lacks
neither holiness nor ability.
