The Supreme Court met again; did not announce their decision, but ordered a reargument. The presidential inauguration came, and still no decision of the court ; but the incoming President in his inaugural address fer- vently exhorted the people to abide by the forthcoming decision, 15 whatever it might be. Then, in a few days, came the decision. The reputed author of the Nebraska Bill finds an early occa- sion to make a speech at this capital indorsing the Dred Scott decision, and vehemently de...nouncing all opposition to it. The new President, too, seizes the early occasion of the Silliman 20 letter to indorse and strongly construe that decision, and to express his astonishment that any different view had ever been entertained ! At length a squabble springs up between the President and the author of the Nebraska Bill, on the mere question of fact, 25 whether the Lecompton constitution was or was not, in any just sense, made by the people of Kansas ; and in that quarrel the latter declares that all he wants is a fair vote for the people, and that he cares not whether slavery be voted down or voted up.
