Uodcion of the Supreme Court In the Died Scott Case. \ V ah n i s o xo jr, March U.—TIio decision of tho Supreme Court in Urn Ureit Scott case, was do] i vemi to■ \!.iy, by Chief Juslice Taney. It was a ftili ami elaborate statement of. the views of the Court. They hare decided tiro following all im portant points: . First —That negroes, whether claves or ftco, (thatis, men of the African rare,) arc not citizens of (ho United States, by the Constitution. - - Second—That the ordinance of 1787 had no independent, Constitution, force or legal edict, subsequently to' the adoption of the Constitution, amt could not oj crate of itself, to cooler freedom ur citizenship within the nonh-iVcslern tciritory, upon negroes, not citizens by the Constitution. '1 bird—That the provision of tho act of commonly called the Misuari Cmupiomlso, Is—:.o fn;* as k nude:!al.es to cxclcdu negio slavery from, and emu* mmiicate froedom and uiizomdiip (o, negroes in tbo northern part of L ‘lii-daiia—-a legislative act, exceeding tlo powers of Congress, and, con.s.vpienily, void and of no legal effect to iliat end. , In deciding these hum points, the SupremeCourt liasdcteimined the following incidental points.; ■, First. That'tla; expression “Territory and other property of the-Union,” in the Constitution, applies in terms only totiivh territory as the Union* possessed at the time of tho adaption of the Cori.slitiilion. Second. That the rights- of citizens of the U. 8. cmigrAting to ayy federal lenttory, depend on thegvneial provi.-ions oi the Constitution, which deiii.es in this, ns in all others respects, thb.pow'er of Com b’ress. . _ •- ■■Third. As Congress does not possess power iii itM.lf to make enatlniviils relative to jieiiotjv or-prop city of citizens of. the U. ,S; in the fedeial territory, other .limn- mi eh ns the Constitution coiners,To it cannot coiisliltincuaily.delegite any Mich powers to a territorial government, “organized by it under.the Constitution. Fourth. That the legal condition of a slave in the. Stale orXlissmiri k not a!feet-’ jed by « temporary' Sojitiirn' o: ,ruch slave .in any oilier State, but on bis lotnrn, his condition still* depends upon the laws oi Missouri.
