Mr.. Lincoln's Attorney General has
decided that "a free man Of color, born
IN the United States, Is a citizen,' the
decision Of the Supreme Court to the
contrary notwithstanding. This is cool
on the part Of Mr.. Bates, who, doubtless,
believes that his decision settles the
question forever. -.--
If a negro is : citizen Of the United
States, he is eligible to The Presidency
and, from the way things are moving
tits fair to presume that the abolition
party will run Fred D ouglass, or some
other niger, as theircandidate in 1864
This would be but the legitimate So
quenco Of their doctrines and Of Mr.
Bates decision. -. r

Another of the shameless authors of
the slavery agitation has found his
political grave. On the 18th the legis-
lature of Pennsylvania elected Charles
r. Buckalcw to the U. s. Senate for
six years, to succeed David Wilmot, by
two majority in joint convention.
The news is as unexpected as vel.
come. Buckalew is al uncompromis
ing democrat, and has the entire conf
dence Of the dcmocrcy of his State. He
was once a member Of the state senate
Of Pennsylvania, and was afterwards
appointed by Mr.. Buchanan to succeed
Gen. Philo White, at Ecuador. He
resides in Union county, near the cen
ter of the State, where he has for many
years been a prominent member Of the
bar. He makes the fourth democratic
Usited States Senator clfosea from the
free states within week. The coun-

ident recommends that those set free

for.
Be it further understood that accor-

also Of the Republic mln, tho labor of
one 'free American Of African des cent"
is worth the labor Of two slaves; be-
