The Wing, speaking of those persons who
invited the negro orator, Fred Douglass, to
Quincy, and entertained him while here,
says:
s'The gentlemen were simply honoring intellect
uai and moral worth, without regard to color"
"Honoring" moral worth! We have seen
it stated, in the public prints, without deni-
al, and have been assured by those who said
they knew the fact, that the party In CUES
ton had given some striking illustrations Of
his moral worth, by having In his Keeping, al
one and the same time. two women, the one
white and the other colored, both OF whom
we're treated as if they were his wives. L.
thst the moral worth which ecommends In
to the gentlemen" who .'were simply honor
ing intellectual and moral worth, without re-
gard to color?" We'll, perhaps the honors
are easy The Whig is terribly fierce at the
southern people for what it pleases to call
their .'liceneuosness and lust which have
peoplsd the south with a race of bastards.
AS the guest of the gentlemen" In question
has displayed considerable ability in thai
line, and has thereby illustrated his ''mora
worth in their esteem, perhaps they are
jealous of the southern people, because they
wish TO enjoy a northern monopoly of tha
business. We assure them, however
that their apprehensions are groundiess
they and Fred may enjoy their luxury with
out fear of molestation from the other side o
Mason and Dixon's line; the people Their
are not in the habit of ''honurlng Inteilectua
and moral worth" of that kind.-Quincy Her

The Civil Rights Bill Nullified.

The decision of the supreme court has al
ready been antici pated in Memphis, and At
torney General Wallace declares that the act
shall not be obeyed or respected in Tennss-
see. Some negroes had been indicted for
keeping tipping houses and billiard saloons,
contrary to the statutes of that states, which
prohibit license to coiored persons for such
purposes. 1t was argued by their counsel
that the recent act ii congress Is now the SUI
pre- ne law of the land THAT all distinctions
between negroes and white citizens are abol-
ished-and that the st&rutes of any state
which make a distinction are apnulied. In
reply, the attorney general commended that
In ali matters pertaining to their internal
policy, the state laws are paramount-that
congress has no authority to legislste legiti-
mately on such subjects that before the
court. since the states have never transferred
TO 1t jurisdiction oyer matters ate cling their
domestic relations and internal policy, and
"ail powers not delegated 10 congress are re-
served to the states respectively" Mr.. Wa
lace is evidently a better lawyer, and undel-
stands the constitution better, than the man
who presides on the bench of the supreme
court OF the United States. He emphaticnlly
declared that ne would neither obey nor re
spect law paipabiy violative OF state
rights az the one which congress lately pass
ed over the presidents veto, and thas ne
would not shrink from any responsibility il
might involve. The nature of Tennessee

forgotten that, little over a year ago, Ger.

cd that Mr.. johnson would deal hsrsher with

The following story is Instructive as well
as amusing:
ga gentleman dropped into one of our city
churches, one day last week, to hear "a noted
reyivaiiss.' and, being q mere outsider, he
modestly took retired seat in the gallery
At the close OF the sermon, which was from
the text, Let Inc die the death of the right.
eous, and let my last end be like his the
preacher requested 'ali those who would like
60 die the death OF the ighteons to stand up.
Tae gentleman In the gallery, feeling that he
was only 'looker-on, retained his seat, but
he speedily found he should have arisen with
the rest for the preacher, after all were
again seated, threw wlthefing glance into
the gallery, accompanied with the remark
The number of those whJ did not rise Is sc
small that | shall not take advantage OF
them Moreover, somebody, in his imme-
date vicinity, audlbly whispered, Why here
| in our very midst, is IL man VINO doesn't wan.
to die the death OF the righteous = and again,
as the gentleman was trying to escape unob.

OF the sisters say to another and in no under

The New Hampshire States and Unit

The New Hampshire States and Union
says:
CAT the time OF General Jacksoas election as
president OF the United States, Thaddeus Stevens
was elected by the Jackson democrats ~ state
senator IN Pennsylvania, to carry out the policy OF
jackson against Nicholas Biddle, Of the United
States Bank, and the recharter of said bank as a
state institution in Pennsylvania.
ssThere was at that time a5ackson majority of
four in the senate, and the people depended on
resentatises. When the vote was taken MIR. Stew
and two other democratic members voted yea,
and the Biddle bank bill passed the senate.''
The States and Uaton further AYERS that
when the United States bank was closed, 1t
was found on Mr.. Bddle's private private look tnat
he had paid Thaddeus Steuens thirty thous-
and dollars for his vote on the bank question,
and the other aposeates fifteen thousand
each. We have heard something of this be-
fore, but do not remember to have seen 80
full statement of the particulars of Mr.
Stevens alleged change of front on that occa
sion We would not do injustice to politl
cal opponent, and have supposed Mr.. Stevens
to be a man of integrity and much more than
ordinary ability, though an ultra man ano
| obstinate and revengeful.
If the statements are true, and If 1T be also
| true that he has ever since then been the de.
termined opponent of the democratic party
| he has been guilty of venality and treacherJ
which none but a thoroughly bad man woule
| stoop to. IF the statements are not tru5
| there should at once be an authoritative con
tradiction of them. Much as we dislike thu
political course of Mr.. Stevens, We woul1
prefer to think that he is not as mean anc
corrupt as the alleged facts indicate Csica
