CUIEF JUSTICE r.+NEy's orzstaN. Justice .Taney. in delivering opinion of the court, said that this case, after a•gument - at the last term, was. directed to be reargued at the pre.4eist term, owing to dif ference of opitrion existinz among members of the court, and in order to git'e the:sobject .more mature deliberation. - There were Lao leading- quest:ons:, first, had the circuit court of the United States fur the *strict-of Missouri jurisdiction in the cagy; and:if:it had jursidiction wag - its de chdon errobeous or Doti - 'The defendant deniud i i by a plea 'n abate ment, the jurisdiction of the circuit court of the Vuitek States, on •the.,ground that the plaintiff "is a megro of African descent, his arices.o were of p`ure African blrioi, and were brought into this country and sold as slaves," and therefore the Vaintiff.,' - is not a citizen'of the State of 'lfissouri." To this plea the plaintiff .detitrurred,'"anci . the court anstained, the demurrer. Thereupon the.de fendant pleaded ever, and justified the tres pass on the 4rounittliu the plaintiff rind hi; timily were his„Devo slay:lk; and a ;tato ment of farts, agreed .to by both 'f.arties, WAa read in evidence. The chief jti4ivr, having stated the facts in'the ease, proceeded to my that the ques lion 'first to be decided irt., ivbether the plaintiff "was entitled to sue in a court of, the United States. This was itipecoliar quetion. and for the first" time,brhtigla. before the court under such circonistances; ,but it bad been brought. here, and it. Was the duty of the court to meet and to decide it.

' . . .. . • . . -It is true'that every person, and every class and den. aiption of persons at the time of the - , adoption of the constitution, regarded as eiti zeus of the several States, - becaineeitizens of this new political body, and none other. It waslormed for themselves - and 'their pos terity, and for nobody else ;. and all the rights and immunities were intended to embrace only those of State communities, or those I .who became members according tia. the prin -1 ciples on which the constitution was adopted. It Wasi union of those who were'ntembets of • ' the _political communities, Whose ;politer, for ,I certain imeci fi ect - purposes, eitended . over- the I whole territories of the United States, and I gave - each- citizen rights outside his State which lie did nut before, possess, and placid nll rights of persons and- property -on . an equality.. . ' It becomes - netiessary, therefore, to deter ! mine, who were citizens of the several States Iwhen the.constitution was adopted: In antler I to do this, we .inest recur to 'the colonies I when they separated from Grist Britan, ferm i ed new 'communities, and took their, place t among the"fstoily . of nations. They who i were recognized as citizens of the States de clared their independence of Great Britain, attd defended it by force 'of arms. Another Iclass of persons, Who had been imported :as I slaves; or their descendants, were not reCog -liized or intended, to be included in that memmortaLle instrument—the Declaration - Of Independence. It is difficult at this day to realize the state of public opinion, respecting that unfortunate class, with the civilized and enlightened pOrtion of the world, at.the titne 'of the Declaration of Independence•land the adoption of the constitution ; but history -hoer they have; for mire than a . century, bt*n regarded as beings of -an inferior order, atid - tintit associates fin the white race, either socially or - politically ; and had no tights whieh white men were, bound to respect; and the black man might be reduced to slavely,, bonelit - and sold, trented.as.an ordinary arti cle of merchandise. This .opinion, at twat time, Was fixed and 'universal with the civll 7 , iied portion of ' the white race. It was . re oltrded.ns an axiom in mornls, - which no one thought of disputing. and every one habitual-. ly acted upon it, without doubting for a mo, tnent the correctness of the opinion. And is no . nation was this opinion more fixed and generally acted upon than in England, the subjects of Which gorerument not ouly seized them on the. coast of Mika, Hitt tot:k-- them as ordinary merchandise, to where - they could Make a profit on them. The opinion thus entertained, was unieersallY impressed on the colonists this side of the Atlantic; according , ly,,negroes of the African race were regarde d by them as propertY, and held, and bought, and -sold, as such, in every one of the thir teen colonies,- which united in the D,..v.lara mon of Independence. It begins thus: "lifben in the come of human - evente, it becomes necessary for one nation to dissolve - the politi cal boricht which have . hitherto connected them, with aim•her, - and to assume among the Bowers of e a rth, the separate and equal sta tion ' to which the !nisi of _nature and - of na ture's God - eutitles them, a decent re s pect to the opinions of mankind requires that they, should declare the causes - which impel them .to the separation ;" and then proceeds: `..WC hold these truths to be, self-evident--that all men-are created equal ; . that they ire 'en dowed,by their Creator, with certain unaliena ble rights; that among theeearelife r liberty, and the 'nursnii,ot happmem.: That to secure these_ rights, g overnments . are . instituted among men; deriving theirAust powers from the consent' f the governed," & r e. Tile words before 'quoted would seem, to embrace the whole hurne ri . family;, and' i f . used in. aiimi lar inst rument at this day would be so under stood:- :But it is toO clear ter,dispute that the enslaved African race ivere-net intended to he .- included,, for`in that- case, the distin: 1 guished men who framed atm Declaration of Indepe . ndeliee - ` would be , flagrantly, against 1 - the prineipl e i . which thefaiserted.
