A grinning old buffer was Abe, He didn't know much about the Constitution, was not a bit respectable, and not at all learned: But he loved his country, and he loved humanity in his awkward, gawky way. He had the heart of a hero, the instinct of a freeman, the vigor and directness of a Western pioneer. And one morning, long before he had become acquainted with the geography of the White House, Word came to him that the rebels had fired on Sumter. What did he do? Go mussing around the Constitution? Not much. But planting himself solidly on his patriotic impulses, and kicking the Constitution into the cellar, thousHe called for seventy-fiv- e and men to go down to Dixieland and coerce States.

He knew evevthing that can be known about laws and constitutions and codes, ancient and modern, But his pride and glory and the glorv and pride of America was his immense knowledge of the Constitution " the United States. He reyerenced that wonderful document, and delved deep in every vein of learning that could throw or tend to throw light on its inspired propositions. Oh, Taney was a big gun, Perhaps the biggest piece of judi cial ordnance that ever fired off a constitutional decision. Well, a time came whe his colossal brain was called upon to decide the constitutional status of niggers; came immoral ."many years ago It became his duty "officially" to declare what a nigger was, when she was young and charming,' and has not changed her tactics yet, ' And he did it, Thus: Why not exclude those whose UA Negro has no rights that a white iniquity is a thing of the past and man is bound to respect." present, as well as those who it is That was the Constitution, acfeared may do something at some cording to Judge Taney.
