4 of the 5 justices affirming were Northerners. Two from New Hampshire, one from New York, one from Connecticut. The other was from Maryland though he moved to Illinois.

Three dissenters. Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania were where they were from. The dissenting opinion was written by a Northern Democrat. Interesting mix of the political parties among the justices on both sides too. The Virginia justice that dissented for example was a Republican.
