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

on Tuesday oniiijr to li-ien '> the ad!

j It was ahum the largest audience we lintu
I ever seen in Gieem ille, upon a similar oeenion,
if we except the tecepiioi given to J
(/en. Cauky, in May last. The pruccs-jnii i
ot Suns, Seceilers, and Cadets if Temiier- j
aiiee was large, alike credit aide tu the cause j
ami to our !)iatiict. Throughout the cnliie
e <
t peeeli the speaker was listened to with pro- i
foii^i interest, and the ro|>euK'd applause,
testilied to its happy ell'oct upon the audieiiee.
Wo are rejoiced at the apparent improve- j
luent of our people in regard to the thing of
I drani-drinUing, and attribute this change to
the. discussion of wholesome temperance sloe,

tor the defence very facetiously termed it.)j
wlie.'e even " a wi?e child U tinnhte to tell i
its own father." was bioughl u|i for trial.
The case occupied much of the evening on
Monthly and until noon of Tuesday. it was,
really, a Inn I case, and it is a gr^at rhaine
that such cn*es are ever brought into Court.
Hut ?o it is, and we may continue to expect
to see llietn as long as tlie present state of
ocietv exists. The Court undertook to doeide
that which the child was unable to'
know, and the verdict of the jury saddled
its parentage upon the defvmlaut. A verdict,
which in nine ca-es out of ten, w ill he
given by every jury in the country.
Hut little drunkenness has been exhibited,

of enlogv to lni|<irrtliii ooinmunltv ?'itlir?i|>e(t
fur liis character. as a sincere and honest man.
All who knew him well. know liiin hut to lova
and esteem him for his noble qualities a* a truo
innn. The respect universally felt for himjwas
of no recent growth ; it * ?? the result?richly
deserved?of more than forty years of aetivo
labor and undeviatintf rectitude. So scrupulous
was he. in ull his dealings, that, hy common fori,
sent, he \v*? familiarly spoken of as "honest
linger." Though til ways attentive to his own
business. lie was always ready to tnke part in
those enterprises which have contributed to the
prosperity of our town. Hi social qualities
were of the highest ordor. To his frivtida ha
win ever the same sincere ami Judicious counselor.
To strangers, courteous and kind.
For the above qualities, ratvlv found in so high
a degree, he has left behind him an example
worthy of the imitation, as well as the commendation,
of all good men. This character, which
had won for him universal admiration, without
iKe exception of one detractor, and secured him
a goodly fortune, is an inheritance far more to
he prized hy his children than nil his estate.
Nor is this character tin sola properly of his
children. It. belongs equal!v to the community
which he honored, anil will he eheilshrd .hr
them with iinatieeteu oilde. 1 houidi his sab.-*
are mingled willi iho ,*oil of our own beautiful
town, yet his work* roinnin witli no, nod ninny
generation* will glide onto the future, ere the
innrk which Roger Love-land lift* tnade will ho
obliterated.
