It will throw additional light on the latter, to go back, and run the mind over the string of historical facts already stated. Several things will now appear less dark and mysterious than they did when they were transpiring. The people were to be left "perfectly free, " "subject only to the Constitution. " What the Constitution had to do with it, outsiders could not then see. Plainly enough now, it was an exactly fitted niche for the Drecl Scott decision afterward to come in, and declare that p...erfect freedom of the people, to be just no freedom at all.

Why was the court decision held up ? Why even a Sena- tor's individual opinion withheld till after the Presidential election ? Plainly enough now ; the speaking out then would have damaged the " perfectly free " argument upon which the election was to be carried.
