Hegrooa am not Oktiaenn The recvut decision of (lie Supreme Court of the United Stele", that negroes are not 1 citizen*, seems to Iwire produced n paroxysm I of desperation among the treasonable final ice who hare no thought or h'gher aspira tie* than that of an equality with a nigger. Hie followers of Win. II. Seward. TliurJow Weed and Horace (ireelev, are overwhelmed with vexation at this gigant'e Mow at their favorite dogma, that a negro is of more consequence than a white man Their oracle, the New York Tribune, ha* no language lutter and ferocious enough, say* [ the Philadelphia Argus, to express the vio- J fence of its impotent rage at the decision : which ha* l?een made. In the same porpnr tion as it is objectionable to the Abolition ! fanatics and dir-unionista, it will coinnic^irt! itself to the warm approval of the l)ch.ocra-' cy. ' Tin's is the most Uiw which tin* fanatical AMiiionUts have ever received. ' Km) their malignity am) venom are pmpor tioned to their desperation. The decision of : the Supreme Court, and the previous dec! 1 ion of ilie Secretary of State, iliat niggers i are uot citizen*. overwhelms the ini-clmf makers with confusion. It blasts their nefarious schemes as with a lightning stroke. ' No marvel, is it then, that tlioy manifest ( such unseenly opposition to tlie august tribunal which lias visited thctn with such a crushing overthrow. We regard the decision of the Judges of ' the S"|>?.nie Court in this case with (111* ' highest satisfaction. It meets with our hearty, cordial, itu?pinliried approval. The ' highest judicial tribunal in the land has de- ' cided that the'blackamoors, called, by the extreme of public courtesy. the colored population, are not citizens of the United Stales. This decision must he followed l?v other de r cisions and regulations in the individual s States thein<ebes. Negro sullVage must, ol >i course, be abolished eveiywhete. 2 Negro nuisances, in the shape of occupy- 2 ing promiscuous seats in our rail cars ami 1 churches with those who are citizens, must 1 he abated. Negrfi insolenee and domineer I ing arrogance must be lelutked; the whole h trilai must he taught t<> fall hack into their I i legitimate position in h'tintu society?tin |> position Unit Divine Providence intended b they should occupy. Not living citizens, I they can claim none ??f the rights t?r ptivilo la ges belonging to a citizen?they can neither j v vote, Imhl olliee. or mvupv any other posi I ! tion in society than at: inferior ami snbotdi ; nate one?the only one for which thev are titled, the only one for which they have the <1 statural qnalilieations which entitle thoin to ? njov ot possess. n We trnst that the decision of the Supreme J I Court will have a tendency to cure the uu ii restrained impudence of our black popula tion. The misehevious fanatics whose nefa riotis intermeddling with what is none of { their business have impressed upon the tie i v groe* generally an idea of their p unmount | L consequence and importance iti society, and I they have grown oveibeaiing and insolent j | accordingly. Their impertinent and instill- , ing hehavior is daily becoming more and ; i more repulsive, odious and disgti-ting. It ,j has already reached its culminating point, and must be sternly rebuked into something j j" like decency ami propriety on the part ol'i., those who live among us on sufferance, j v They must be taught that there is a point j v where long forbearance cease* to be a virtue. 1 [$outh Side Donocrat. ji __ i inn tvrttioPiAN' Twins.?Sonm few v nrs 11 po s negro woman in Cumberland countj'' N.
