Our Slave Empire.
Vile ask to-day the earnest and thought-
ful attention of our readers to the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in the Dred
Scott case. We shall not stop to con-
trovert the document before us. We
pass by its gross falsifications of history,
its glaring absurdities of reasoning, its
foul injustice of support. There it sta.nds
——the decision of the highest legal tribu-
nal of the nation. Impugn the character
and ability of the Judges as we may, it
is still the law of the land. VVe all
know that it is simply a political game
—but no Judges in all this broad republic
can shake ‘off its binding force. We must
obey that decision, or we become rebels.
The new administration backs it with the
entire power of the nation. The new
Congress will see it executed to the very
letter.
It declares that by the Constitution of
the United States, snsvns ARE rnornnrv
——that they cannot be made citizens by
any State laws.
It declares that since Congress has no
power over property but such as the Con-
stitution gives, Congress cannot exclude
slave property from any State or territo-
ry. And this is ouud logic———for by ex-
cluding any species of property from part
of the national domain} you destroy in part
the value of that property.
It declares that Congress cannot give to .
any Territorial government, power to ex-
clude slavery, since Congress itself has
not that powr. And, consequently, slave-
ry is legalized in every Territory of the
United States, by the Constitution itself,
and cannot be excluded therefrom either
by Congress or by any body holding under
Congressional enactment. Therefore, the
act of 1787, and the Missouri Compro-
' misc, are unconstitutional, and void of
legal effect.
Such is the immediate purport of the
decision. It declares slavery establish
ed in all the Territories by the Consti-
tution itself. It strips Congress of all
powers to exclude it from_them. Under
that decision, slaves can be held as pro-
perty in every Territory, and that prop-
erty it becomes the duty of Congress to
protect. And property in slaves can-
not be protected butby the Black Codes
of the Southern States, and of Kanzas I
No wonder that the democratic party has
been trying to blind our eyes with Squat-
ter Sovereignty? No wonder that they
- have supported those vile laws of Kanzas
—-for, on these democratic principles, it is
the duty of Congress to provide and sup-
port such laws for every Territory.
That is the decision of this (democrats
tic) Supreme Court! It means no less
than this :-thatevery foot of land now
owned by the United States is slave soil
by the Constitution, and that it is not in
the power of Congress to make it free.—-
It drives Liberty dishonored and bleeding
from all the national territory, and in her
place, we hear the clank of the chain, and
the groans of human beings writhing un-
der the lash.
But let us trace out this grand princi-
ple : slaves are property under the Con-
stitution. If Congress cannnot exclude
or limit this property right, nor any Leg-
islature ‘br Convention holding by Con-
gressional enactment,——who can? Can
the People? The people of every State
are subject to the Constitution. All
State regulation that conflict with that
supreme law of the land, are null and
void. But if the Constitutions guarantees
to every slaveholder proper in slaves
under its rule, every State law which de-
prives him of the full use and enjoyment
of that property conflicts with the Consti-_
tution, and is null and void. ' If Congress
guarantees him such property, it guaran-
tees him also full protection for that prop-
erty, and every State law which tends
torcnder that property insecure, any-
where under the broad rule of the Consti-
tuition, is null and void. Carry the ques-
tion to Taney-he must tell you “ if Con-
gress—which expresses the will of the
whole peo_nIe—cannot exclude this property
from land owned by the whole people,
surely no State or Territorial Legislature,
which can express only the will of the few
pc0ple—tll0se of that State or Territory
—-can exclude_it from land which those
few people do not wholly own l The Con-
stit-ution gives no power to exclude ; on
’the contrary, it guarantees to every slave-
—holder property in slaves, and of course
full use and enjoyment thereof.” Are
not all restrictive enactments unconstitu-
tional and void ?
By what right, then, have we excluded
slavery from this State of Connecticut?
Sure enough i by what right? With
Taney’s decision the law of the land,
slavery cannot be, and never has been
legally excluded. All State laws to that
effect are null and void. “ But the Sn-
preme Court has not given that decision
yet.” N o—that blessing is yet in reserve.
One pull of the chain at a time, lest we
grow restive and unmanageable, and
brake the traces of the Union l But
there is the law, and there is its logical
consequence ! “Oh, but the court will
never go that far.” Vllhy not? This
present decision came not until this year
of grace 1857. Who will predict the era
of the next? And it don't matter. The
grand principle-—slaves are made property
by the Constitution—is laid down ; all
the rest must follow in due season. Only
they will take care, in putting on our
hand-cuffs, not to frighten us too much
at a time. First, we shall have the
Lemmon slave case. Then slavery will
be legalized in the free'States for any
time short of permanent residence. A
decent respect for the Constitution will
demand that, you know. Never fear ;all
in due order. Onward we
march toward civilization and enlighten-
ment ! Hail Columbia, land of freedom!

The Dred Scott Case.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, in the case
of Dred Scott, is justly exciting intense
alarm throughout the Free States. The
people were indeed prepared, by the well
known character and political bias of the
majority of the judges of that Court, for
an adverse decision to the extent of de-
claring the Missouri Compromise uncon-
stitutional and void ; but they were not
prepared to see those functionaries out-
Herod Herod by further declaring that
a man with any African blood in his
veins, even though a citizen and a voter
in the State where he resides, is not a cit-
izen within the meaning of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, sogthat he can
maintain any suit whatever in any U. S.
Court. But so it is, and the ground is
boldly taken by that Court, that neither
the Constitution nor the Declaration of
Independence intended to recognize the
colored race as being anything but prop-
erty. And hence the conclusion that be-
ing property and nothing but property,
they may by the owner be carrried into
any and all the States, free as well as
slave, and there held as property like a
horse or other chattel, and carried back
again at pleasure, thus compelling the
free states nolcns jvolens to tolerate the
blessed institution in their midst.
The time has now come when Senator
Toombs may literally execute his threat,
may call the roll of his slaves on Bunker
Hill, may set them at work on the soil of
Massachusetts and hold them there year
after year at pleasure; may march them
through all the free states, and tarry
with them when and where he chooses.——
In fact the principles of that decision, if
fully carried out, will virtually establish
Slavery in every State in the Union.-
What makes thematter still worse, and
shows the disposition of the judges of
that Court, is the fact that some of the
most odious features of that decision are
by their own showing, entirely extra ju-
dicial, "mere abiter dicta. Having decided
as a majority of them did, that Scott, be-
ing of African descent, was thereby ipso
facto precluded from maintaining a suit
in that Court, there was nothing left for
those who took that ground, but to dis-
miss the case, and by all rule, and all
principle, and all practice in similar cases,
they should have done so. And when
they went further and discussed the case
on the merits, they did it for the double
purpose of adding the weight of their au-
thority to what had already been done
politically, and also that the people North
and South might know what to expect
from_them hereafter.
It is not a little singular that it should
have been .reserved for Chief Justice Ta-
ney and his compeers to make the first
discovery in the middle of the nineteenth
century, that both the Declaration of In-
dependence and the Constitution of the
United States, not merely recognize the
existence of Slavery, but actually assume
that it is one of the ordinary permanent
institutions of the country, to be fostered
and perpetuated. = Even Rufus Choate,
after straining his eyes to see Slavery in
the Declaration of Independence, and
not being able ' to get a glimpse of it,
turned away with a sneer and declared it
to be a string of “glittering generalities.”
With the aid of the Supreme Court, his
vision may be so aided that he will come
to have a. better opinion of that instru-
ment.
But, we are told, this is the decision of
an august tribunal, and therefore it is
presumption, nay almost sacrilege, to call
in question either the motives of the jud-
ges, in the correctness of what they pro-
nounce to be the law. The friends of
thzlt decision are particularly anxious that
we should not undermine anything so sa-
cred as the judiciary, by even a discussion
of its merits. Let us see—and that is
the principle object of this article—wheth-
er we are bound to hold our peace, and
quietly to submit to all that the judiciary
may see fit to infiict upon us, for fear of
destroying its character and usefulness.
If that principle had always been acted
on, there would not now be a free gov-
efnment 01' any such thing as free institu-
tions in the. world. Nowhere in any
country has the judiciary ever taken the
lead of tlne people, and standing between
them anil arbitrary _or unjust govern-
mcnt, led. them on to freedom. The pro-
cess has always and everywhere been the
reverse. In all matters political, courts
have always sided with the strongest.-
If the government was the strongest,
they he we sided with the government,
and if the people were the strongest,
they I; ave sided with the people. Histo-
ry, as well as from our observation and
experience, attest the truth of this humil-
iating fact.
Look for instance at France at the
present day. What are the courts of
that country doing to vindicate liberty of
speech and of the press. But more es-
pecially, freedom of religious opinion and
worship are expressly guaranteed ; but
are not all the tribunals of that country,
high and low, so torturing the law as to
allow no more of either, than Louis Na-
poleon, out of deference to the priests,
sees fit to grant? And yet the highest
courts of that country are composed of
judges as honest, as learned, as respects-
ble, and, in ordinary cases between pri-
vate citizens, as fair and impartial as the
judges of -our federal courts. And if the
people should ever again take the power
_ into their own hands, the same judges
would be impelled so to administer the very
same laws as to carry out their obvious
intent.
How has it been in England? We
will pass over the hundreds of judicial
murders which have been in times past
committed through the agency of Lord
Chief Justices and other judges, for no
other purpose than to destroy individuals
obnoxious to the government. English
history abounds in‘ all ages down to the
time when . the people became the more
powerful element than the crown,. in acts
of cruelty and injustice, perpetrated at
the instance of the sovereign against the
lives, the liberty, and the property of the
subject. When Charles I determined to
dispense with parliaments, because the
people were determined to be taxed only
by themselves, be had recourse to the
judges, who readily helped him out of the
dilliculty by determining that he might
by virtue of his prerogative, levy and col-
lect taxes at pleasure. When his sons
successively attempted not only to dispense
with parliaments, but to set aside the
laws themselves, it was accomplished, so
far as they succeeded at all, in spite of
the people, by aid of the judiciary.
But these are not solitary cases.-
They are only specimens. Innumerablc
instances of judicial wrong, servility and
meanness, might be cited in all ages down
to the time when neither sovereign nor
judges dared to perpetrate such outrages
in the name of justice. And the people
were always told, as we are now, that
whatever such august tribunals decided,
ought to be submitted to without ques-
tion or complaint. The people of those
times, however, thought very much upon
that subject,as the lovers of freedom with
us do now. So little respect had they
even for judicial _ tyranny, that it cost
Charles I his head and James II his
crown. So little respect has the present
Lord Chief Justice of England for such
judges and their decisions, that he does
not hesitate to characterize them as “ ar-
bitrary,” “ tyrannical,” “ inhuman,” “ out-
rageous,” and the like.
And yet, in very many of the cases
thus characterized, the judges were every
way as eminent for ability, learning, hon-
esty, and, in ordinary cases, fairness, as
our own august judges who decided Dred
Scott’s case. But like Chief Justice Ta-'
ney, in matters political, they went just
so far as their interest or prejudice re-
quired them to lead, and no further.-—
But let it not be supposed that political
decisions have ceased to be made, or
censured when made, even in England.-
In the latter part of the last century, it
was thought necessary to convict certain
persons of libelling the government. But
there was one diliiculty in the way, and
that was that an English jury would not
find the accused guilty of any criminal
intent. Lord Marsfield (every way infi-
nitely superior to Chief Justice Taney,)
and the other judges got over the diliicul-
ty by deciding that whether a writing is
a libel or not, was a question of law for
the court. But Lord Camden, Lord
Chatham, and the other independent men
of that day, did not hesitate openly to
attack that decision on the spot, as an
outrage upon the rights of juries and of
the people, to say nothing of the scathing
invectives of juries. But we, forsooth,
are to hold our peace, when all the barri-
ers against Slavery are broken down by
a judicial decision.
But to come down to a period still la-
ter. It is within the recollection of all
of us, that when a few years since, certain
political agitators were tried in Ireland
and found guilty, on a writ of error to
the House of Lords, (which is the court
-of last resort in Great Britain,) the law
lords, by a strict party rote, reversed the
rulings of the court below. Nor can
we forget how freely that fact was eve-
rywhere commented upon, both in Eng-
land and this country. But nothing was
heard then of the danger of discussing
the decisions of courts or the conduct of
judges. Let the principle once he adop-
ted, that the decisions of» courts are too
sacred even to be doubted, or devised to
be law, and there is no telling where we
shall land.
The truth is,_while we have all proper
respect for the institutions of our coun-
try, and especially the judiciary, we do
not hesitate to assume that judges are
fallible men like the rest of us. Hence,
we do not hesitate to prohibit judges from
sitting in any case where they have been
consulted as counsel, or where either
themselves or any near relation has even
the slightest pecuniary interests. Where-_
as, were they so far beyond the possibili-
ty of bias as the friends of this decision
would have us suppose, such prohibition
would be absurd and insulting. May not
the people then very safely assume the
possibility of bias on political subjects
so exciting, and especially when those
judges are slaveholders themselves, & have
so deep a personal and pecuniary interest
in sustaining and extending this institu-
tion?
The truth is, the judiciary is one of
the, tnree co-ordinate branches of the
government, and the weakest of the three ;
and though the judges are mostly con-
fined to the trial of mere private cases,
yet when they are called upon to decide
in a matter affecting the political or social
condition of the country, their conduct is
as much open to criticism as that of the
executive or legislative branch.
In Dred Scott’s case, two judges were
found who nobly stood up for humanity
and the right. Individual cases of a high
judicial independence in the face of the
government which would oppress through
the forms of law, have been seen in al-
most every age, of which Lord Coke was
a memorable example, but that great
man was finally driven from office for his
bold independence.
But, we are tauntingly asked, what
we expect to do, whether we intend to
rebel or to submit to this decision. Of
course it will be submitted to until re-
versed. But, we are asked again, when
do‘ we expect that will be. We reply,
whenever the judges of that court shall
be made to feel that the infamous doc-
trines of that decision are an outrage up-
on public opinion, and an enlightened hu-
manity, and not till then. They are
men, and no more than men; and they
will never more dare to brave the former,
however much they may inwardly hate
the latter.

This association which has been for some
time past involved in pecuniary and other
difficulties, has received is new and favorable
impetus which we think ensures its permanen-
ce and usefulness. ' At the Annual Meeting, a
new board of Directors was chosen as follows:
Dr. Ira Gregory, Dr. J. G. Barbour, Wm. C.
Street, A. H. Byington, Moses Hill,jJohn Os-
bcrne; and H. M. Prowitt. At a meeting of
the Directors Dr. Ira Gregory was chosen
President of the association, A. H. Byingtone
Secretary, and Wm. C. Street,Treasuer. The
fees of annual membership was reduced to $1,
per annum so that none need be debarred
the uses of the very valuable Libray on the
score of cost. The Library was also removed
to the store of Chas.N. Clock, who is hereafter
to act as Liberian, generously giving his room
and personal attention to the association thus
gratuitously relieving it of a heavy pecuniary
burden. Special efforts are to be made to in-
duce new subscriptions of memberships and
with the slacrity and seal with which the
male and female friends of the Institutute take
hold of the matter, we think its permanent
usefulness is secured. Very few are aware
how really valuable this Library is. We doubt
whether one can be foundany where in. this
State, which has a cboicer or more valuable
collection of rare works, and no where else can
access to such a Library be had for one dollar.

out attracting the attention of members

found as above stated. He was about
40 years of age, and had been laboring
under partial derangement, at intervals,
for a number of months. Mr. L. had no
family, but leave two brothers and
two or three sisters in New Canaan,
respectable people and in good circum-
stances. ‘One of ._ his brot_hers_.~_some

Q‘ We and the sudden and peculiarly painful dc-
miso of Mrs. W. S. Pope formerly so familiarly . known
here as “ llattic Bissell,” in the Rome (N. Y) Sentinel.
The Death of Mn. Willard 8. Pope.
It is with no ordinary feelings ‘of sor-
row that we chronicle in to-day’s paper
the death of.Harriet L., wife of Willard
S. Pope, Esq., formerly of this place, but
now of Chicago. "It will be sad“ news in-
deed to all who knew her, to learn of her
death ,; she expired at the residence of her
father-in-law, Dr. G. W. Pope, in this
village, at 8 A M., Tuesday, March 1'7.
The deceased was a daughter of the late
Dr. Bissell, formerly of Clinton, in this
County. We made the acquaintance of
Mrs. P., (then Miss Bissell,) soon after
she came here to take charge of the Fe-
male Department of the Rome Aceademy.
She was a woman gifted by nature, thor-
oughly educated, and prepared for a de-
gree of usefulness which few ever attain.-
Her pupils loved her,and she blended in
happy union the authority of the teacher
and the love of a friend. She was the
companion of children and her gentle
smile told them that they had found a
friend. The approbation of one so much
beloved was a stronger power to calbout
the energies of the sluggish mind, or to
bring the wayward back to duty, than
any penalty which could be enforced.-
The remembrance of the happy_ school
day which claimed her as a teacher, will
be to many, among the most pleasing rec-
ollections of life, and we hope there are
many of her pupils who learned of her the
dignity and responsibility of the true
sphere of woman. ,
Mrs. Pope was beloved by every body.
To the aged she was a daughter——to the
young a sister, to the poor 9. friend—to
the joyous a companion, and to the sor-
rowful a comforter. So much was she
beloved, and so warm was her friendship,
that she was known, while here as “ Our
Hattie.”
“ J\/‘one knew her but to lose her,
None named her but to praise,”
The deceased died in the morning of life.
Less than a year ago she was led to the
altar a joyous happy bride—now she is
followed to the I tomb by a household
made desolate by this great and sad be-
reavement.
The deceased was confined to her room
by her recent and lust illness for some
eight or ten " days, where she remained
prostrate and almost entirely unconscious,
until her death. She was called from
earth when life was brightest——when with-
in her soul was awakened those depths of
womanly tendernss, which belong to a wife
and mother. She leaves a helpless infant,
but a few days old, to the care and pro-
tection of others—-one that can never
know its loss, for it is too young’ to ap-
preciate a mother’s last prayer and bles-
ing, or ever to realize the value of a
mother’s devotion and love. Heaven
grant that the angels of these little ones
may defend "the helpless babe, until moth-
er and child meet in a brighter and a
better world.
The sympathies of a bereaved commu-
nity are with the sorowing household.
The funeral service will take place at
10 o'clock this (Wednesday) A. M. at
the residence of Dr. G. W. Pope, on James
Street. At noon‘ the remains will be ta-
ken eastward, to be interred in the family
burial ground at N orwalk, Ct‘
‘rho State Pair.
The contest for the next State Fair
was between Bridgeport and Hartford,
and Bridgeport has gained. the prize.-—
Bridgeport offered $2,000 in cash, the
necessary grounds, police and Marshals
free, and agreed to dig wells, supply wa-
ter, and build a trotting coures for $100.
Hartford offered $1,500. The Hartford
papers treat the decision fairly and hand-.
somely,-and express their best wishes for
the success of the Fair.. Bridgeport is as
well located as Hartford, in respect to
those points of the State which contribute
most to the Fair, and we shall expect a
first rate exhibition. "Hurrah for the

and void, because unathorized by the Con-
stitution, is a most gratifying confirma-
tion of the views and doctrines of the Dem-
ocratic party on this long-disputed ques-
tion, and affords additional reason for
faith and confidence in its principles.”
The above is one of the resolutions pas-
sed at the Democratic Convention "of the
Fourth Congrcsional "District which
nominated William D. Bishop. We wish
that honest Democrats, who have depre-
cated this slavery agitation and who were
originally opposed -to the Repeal of the
Missouri ' Compromise would now see
whither theirlparty has drifted. “ The
views and . d_dc_tri_u_es of the Democratic
party,” have not’ been “the views and
doctrines”'ofthegillarford Times, which
opposed this repeal in 1854, or of the
three “ Democratic” members of Congress
from Connecticut that voted against that
repeal. The“ Democratic party” of Con-
necticut have very different “views and
“opinions” from the same party in 1857,
Three years have drifted them into the
Latitude of the South, and on the Pro-
Slavery lee-shore [Commodore Toucey
will understandthis figure in more senses
than oue.] ’ The whole “Democratic
party” of Connedticut have become most
thoroughly and intensely devoted .to the
interests of the slave states and to the ex-
tension of the Southern institution. The
election of the President Buchanan with
his new notions on popular sovereignty,
and the late decision of the Supreme
Court robbing not only Congress of its
regulating power,]but even the States of
their Sovereignty, where slavery is con-_
cerned, have changed their whole “ views
and opinions,” and have made that party
more thoughtful of the fancied rights "of
the South than the real nicnr of the
North. Honest ' Democrats! look at the
change! The fact is that the self-styled
“ democratic party” in Connecticut, is
nothing but the “ rump” of the old party
—like Cromwell’s “ rump parliament’!
that had‘ been sitting 0 long, that the_
sitting party had become “ a rotten
rump.” Ifartford Curant.

Ghlldreifs Aid Society.
\Ve have received the Third Ant: xl Re-
port of the Cliildren’s Aid Society ofNcw
York, which is accomplishing much good
in finding out the poor chindrcn of the
city; those without friends or home,——ta-
king care of them, and providing them
with good homes with Christian people.
We take pleasure in calling the attention
of our readers to the following circular :
To Farmers and Jlfechanics, and IlIarm-
faclurcrs in the cmcntry, from the “ Curm-
nsN’s Am Socii-trr.”
The greatest charity usually, which can
be done to the poor in a city, is to get
them into the country. We, as a Society
have devoted ourselves to the aid of
the poor children of New York ; and we
feel it our first duty to put them, wherever
possible, in the way of an honest living
out of the city. Every occupation here
is thronged ; and with the poor, nothing
so leads to idleness -and crime, as this
overcrowding of ’ population. We call
upon every man in the country who has
the opportunities for it, and who would
do a Christain charity, to assist us in get-
ting these children, work. There would
be no loss in the charrity. These boys
are, many of them, handy and active, and
would learn soon any common trade or
labor. They could be employed on farms,
in trades, in manufacturing ; and many an
intelligent lad might be saved to society
from a life of theft or vagrancy.
They are the children of parents coarse
and very poor, with many bad habits, but
kindness has a wonderful effect on them.
A charity at this time of life, would do
what no Reform or good influence can do
afterwards. '
We want to apply the remedy to the
source of these vast evils and sufferings
of our city; and bring good influences to
bear on childhood. If the children are
not satisfactory, they can be returned to
our hands. ,
Good references of character in all
cases demanded.
All communications on this subject,
will be addressed to the ofiice of the
“Childrens’s Aid Society,” Clinton Hall,
Astor Place, New York.

Gratlfylng Confirmation.
The Loco Congressional Convention of
this District, resolved that the decision of
the Supreme Court furnishes “gratifyi-ng
confirmation” of the views and doctrines
of the Democratic party, &c. This seems
funny enough to those who know what
the cicios and doctrines of the Democratic
party in Connecticut were but a few years
since. The Resolutions passed by the
Loco Conventions, will be remembered by
many of the party, who do not see apres-
sing occasion for eating their own words.
In 1849, the following were a part of
the Resolutionspassed in our Legislature
the so called Democrats being in the ma-
jority. Just notice the “ gratifying con-
firmation.” I
The Resolutions, be it remembered,
- passed the Senate unanimously, and there
were but two dissenting votes in the
House.
Resolved, That Congress has full con-
stitutional power to prohibit slavery in the
Yhrritories of the United States, bylegisla-
tire enactment,.and that it is the duty of
Congress to pass, without unnecessary de-
lay, such strict and positive laws as will
efi'ectnally shut out slavery from every
portion of the territories of New Mexico
and California.
Resolved, That this General Assembly,
for and in behalf of the people of Con-
necticut, hereby publicly and solemnly
abide by the compromise contained in the
United States, relating to slavery, to the
letter, and in the spirit of the same ; but
that they will oppose, in all constitutional
and proper ways, any and entry meas-
ure of compromise by which any portion of
our free Territory may be giceu. to the en-
croacltments of SIaz'ery.—-Br. Standard.
