Frederick Douglass is intellectually and
morally the superior of thousands and ten
of thousands of white men. He has more
learning, more culture, more political and
general knowledge than two-thirds of the
members of tany ordinary legislature.
ONE of our senators can claim the credit
being "self-made men" i'm the matter
of dollars. They have nothing but their
money to thank for their positions. Fred
erck Douglass has the greater honor of

of her offending.
Ii she had married one Of the many low,
ignorant white scamps, who, having been
kicked out Of all decent circles, have found
resting place in the public departments,
her friends would not have objected. But
she has chosen an intelligent, honorable,
able colored man, and has given terrible
shock to washington society,""
Is it not time these prejudices against
race should cease? Are they not out Of
place in a republican government in which
all men are now happily considered ''free
and equal?''
The above clippings are from
two Of the leading journals in the
country. Whatever Mr.. Douglass
does, we are confident that he has
well considered the matter. If be
felt disposed to marry white lady,
it does not prove that he is opposed
to the colored ladies of our city.
We must remember that there was
a tie between Mr.. Douglass and the
lady he married that was fostered
by him in days when the heart of
the colored man belonged to his
master. 1t was then the tender
chord of affection was tied. We
see that some are eudeavoring to
infer that it will affect him politi-
cally. 1t may; but 1t should not, if
the colored people take the right
view of the situation. When a
man is convicted of theivery, or if
he should destroy the virtue of a
young lady, such, and the like, are
sufficient causes to kill a man, po-
litically.
Mr.. Douglass will be different
from other men who have white
wives. He will not try to hide his
ideulity with his race, but he will
ptill be Frederick Douglass, the de-
fender of civil and political liberty.

The Philadelphia Times is if any
thing, very incorrect in the state
ment it makes last Sunday-in ref
erence to the Douglass Wedding.
We think we know more about
the opinions of society ladies of
this city, than either the Editor or
the Washington correspondent.
We unhesitatingly, Estate it as a
fact that the recent marriage of
Mr.. Douglass, has caused no such
comment as is charged to our
ladies, by the Times. Society was
naturally surprised it is true, at the
marriage, because no one had an
idea as the sequel plainly shows,
that the gallant old spark was
even smitten.
Mr.. Douglass is loved, honored
and even revered, by all classes of
colored people, land whites too,
pretty generally. There is not a
person in all our midst that is
mad or chagrined. The contrary
better expresses the veins and SEN
timents of both races, especially
his own. We do not think the
Times justified in speaking so
slightly and contemptuously of the
