The Black Republicans have been thrown into great tribulation by this decision. It is, to use the language of a Coterepo , rary, "an extinguisher of all their hopes. It sweeps away every plank of their platform, and crushes into nothingness the whole theory u p on which, their party is founded. The de cision of the Supreme Court i s near l y un „„ia mons—seven out of nine Judges concurring in its opinion. Croat stress has been laid upon the dissent of Judge McLean, and seven of the ,Judges, we are told, arc totally misled by preconceived notions or private-interest,. while his decision is uninfluenced by snot' consideratinns. AVe have great respect for Judge McLean, personally, and for his high legal attainments and honesty ; but there, is no other man upon that Bench whose judg ment upon such a question would be more likely to be a partial- and biassed one. Judge McLean has for years past been more fre quently mentioned in connection with high official positions, than all the other 'Judges together. He has been for years a sort of oracle of the Anti-slavery sentiment Of the catoll r. ..).
