BLACK Citizens.


The Supreme Court said in the Dred
Scott case that black men had no rights
which white men were bound 10 respect.
This athOistical and insane dogma
which the oracle Of tho Slave Power was
forced to utter for the protection OF
slavery from the destruction with which
it was threatened by the advancing
light of Christian civilization, has been
overthrown by an oficial opinion Of the
Attorney General, the law off Ger of the
United States Government, be being a
citizen of a Slave State.
The Secretary Of the Treasury sub.
mitted to Mr.. Bates the following ease,
"The schooner Elizabeth and Marga-
ret, of New Brunswick, is detained by
the Revenue cutter Tiger at Perth Au-
boy, N. j., beeanse commanded by
colored man, and so by person aot
citizen Of the United States. As col
ored masters are numerous in our coast
ing trade, | submit to you the question
suggested by Captain Martin, of the
Tiger, "Are cOlored men citizens of the
United States, and therefore compotons
to command American vessels ?"
| Mr.. Bates has replied, ina written
opinion, that as the Constitution does
not define the word citizen. all free per-,
sons who are born in the United States
Of whatever race or color, are citizens.
The opinion Of the Supreme Court in
the bred Scott case he holds to be Of no
authority, as it was not the question in
volved in the issue which was before
the Court.
This opinion revcrses the action Of
the Government in relation to the oiti.

for them 10 insult Union soldiers In th'

policy, but it strikes me the real cour
tesy of those who six short months aSC
were brazen and defiant, is the result o.
reflection aroused by a feeling uppreci
alton Of the woes of war. Said an ele'
gantlady, once naughty, who confessed
that every male relative she had was in
tho rebel army. "Oh !! we would sacri-
fee all we possess in the world for
peace. The war was a sad, sad thing
for all of u.s." There was touching
pathos in her voico and manner that
proved her wish soul-felt. She pro-
,ceeded: when will there be peace p
"When tho rebels submit, madam"
They'll never do that"
f"Then thercll never be peace. The

Madam gazed as if she thought the
declaration was for effect, finally asked,
with deep 'earnestness, DO you really
mean what you say 2"
'Most sincerely. Wo will never cease
war until you submit to the United
States, The Union must be preserved" "
Tears gathered in her beautiful eyes
as she repeated her piteous story. "My

wounds in Tennessee the dearest
friends had on earth fell at Donelson
and Shiloh. I have drank bitter cups

ministers to the we'll being Of the race.
1t is the spirit that is carried into any
employment that elevates it or degrades
lie. The ploughman that turns the clod
may be a Cincinnatus or Washington,
or he may be brother to the clod he
turns. There is no glory in the act OF
Ofixing signature by which the treas

the glory consists in the rectitudc oi

The Polish Insurrection.

At the last dates from Europe the
Polish insurrection had increased in
magnitude, and tho insurgents had
formed provisional Government. The
cause seems to have been the seizure of
men in the towns for the Russian mill
tnry service, which it is reported was
conducted in q way to vent the person =
al animosity of the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, rather than to promote the
military service. Men were seized be =
cause their size or superior vigor indi.
Gated good material for soldiers, or be-
cause some political enemy contrived to
get their names put on the list. These
lists were secretly made out, aud in the
night detachments of soldiers surround
ed the houses of the victims and car.
ried them to tho military prison.
The next day crowds of terrified and
weeping families surrounded the mill.
tary quarters. 1t does not appear that
a regular conscription would have beap
resisted, but this bore no resembla nco to
that. 1t is reported that the Govern
ment has now stopped these military
seizures
The population of the Kingdom Of
Poland is about 4, 100000 The Polish
inhabitants of the other provinces would
make the aggregate about seven mil
lions In population this would make
the rebellion about the dimensions Of
the Southern insurreetion; but it is in
an old, compact country, and against
we'll prepared military power, which
rules population of not less than six
ty- six millions.
