cooped up on the starved lands of the older
States. but be allowed to go on to the fat
lands of the West"
The Senate passed the Compromise by n
vote of "a to 90, and the House by 80 to 81.
There We're many strong objections to the
Compromise from various points of view, the
strongest of which was that 1T gave slavery
National recognition 1t did not. as Clay
hoped, end the slavery agitation, but helped
to embitter it, as both sides claimed that
the other was not observing it in good faith.
This brings us to the point where the
Supreme Court took hand in the agitation.
In 1884 Dred Scott was the slave OF DIR.
John Emerson, a Surgeon in the Regular
Army, and who took him to Rock Island,
ILL.,, where slavery had been prohibited by
the Ordinance of 1887 and the State Con-
stitution. In 1896 he took him to TT.
Smelling. where slavery had been prohibited
by the Missouri Compromise. In that year
bred married Harriet. another slave of DR..
Emerson's and two children were born to
them. In 1S"3 Dr. Emerson returned with
his slaves to st Louis.
Here bred discovered that, according to
the decisions of the Missouri Courts, the act
of his master in taking him to where slavery
was prohibited made him free. Accordingly.
when in 1S4S, his master whipped him, he
bro nght suit against him for assault and
bit. cry, and obtained a judgment against
him i'll the Circuit Court for st. Louis
County.
The case went to the Supreme Court of
Mi>snuri which reversed the decision OF the
Circuit Court and the previous decisions on
the same line. About this time DR.. Emerson
sold his slaves to John +. Sandtord, of New
York City. Dred Scstt therenpon brought
suit for assault and battery against Sandiord
in the United States Cncuit Court, alleging
that that Court could properly entertain the
case, as he and his master were citizens OF
different States SandiOrd denied that Dred
was citizen of Missouri, but "a negro OF
African descent: his ancestors were OF pure
Afr can blood, and We're brought into this
country and sold as negro slaves" Dred
claimed Judgment on the defendants own
Show my aud the Court sustained the plea,
and then Sand ord pleaded that he-had a
right to correct his slave as he had done.
The Court instructed the jury that the law
WAS with Sand.orG Dre,l Scott excepted, and
the case went IN the Supreme Court OF the
United States, where it was argued at the

December term of 1855. and again in 1856,
hut judgment deferred until alter the Presi-
Dental election
This was shrewd, for if the Judgment had
heen rendered then. it would have resulted in
Buchanan's defeat. The decision was rem
de ell March g. 1857. Immediately after
President Buchanan took his seat
In the fist place. ihe Court decided, with
the Supreme Court of Missouri, that DIR.
Emer30n's residence in III nois and Wisron-
sin was only temporary, and IN obedience to
orders from his Government; that he had no
intention of changing his legal domcle and
that. whatever might have been Dred' s status
while at Rock Island and Fort Smelling.
his servile character revived when taken back
70 Missouri, therefore he was not citizen OF
Miss uri. and censequentiyrthe Circuit Court
had no jurisdiction. To this opinion the
Ciief Justice, fancy, of Mary land, and Just
ices Wasne, of Georgia; Nelson. of New
York; Grier, of PENNSYLVANIA; Daniel of Vir-
ginia; Catrnn. Of Tennessee, and Campbell, of
Alabama, asserted. and Justices Mel can, of
Ohio. and Curt. of Massachusetts. dssented.
Had the Court stopped there there would

The decis'en. though harsh, seemed logical

at the lowest estate that it has ever known.
For many years the Slave Power had been
packing it with men Of inferior ability and
atai Iments, and no standing among LAWYERS.
What was wanted of them was subservient
zeal to advance the interests of the slave
lords.
This was their opportunity. and they pro-
ceeded TO make the most Of it. They made
their decision virtually manifesto in which
they attempted to l,y down a complete cole
for the Government of the American people
with reference TO the negro. Together and
seserally they lectured the people on history,
law, politics, religion. ethics, international
law, and other subjects which they seemed
to think they knew all about ami their duty
10 impart instruction, but which had little
relation 10 the issue before the Court They
denied the LEGAL existence of Africans and
their descendants persons in American
society and Constitutional law; they denied
the supreme power of Congress over the
Territories, and pronounced the Missouri
Compromise unconstitutional

Taney SAID:
