THE SUrREME COUHT AND THE SEGRO RACE. "Negroes havo no rights which white men arc bound to respect."

The above short sentence constitutes another portion of the remarkable decision of Judge Taney, in the case of Died Scott.—

It is a short sentence, but comprehensive

The courts of our southern slave-hold-ing States have in all time past respected the right of the colored man to his freedom, whenever that right could be estab

ways respected their right to life, and have had some faint regard for their right to the pursuit of happiness. But Judge Taney strikes down each and all of these rights. Gen. Washington believing that his slaves had a right to freedom, emancipated them and left not one in the chains

OBITUARY.

DIED, at the Crane House, in this place^ on the morning of the 28th inst., of Consumption, Mr. WM. R. WEBB, in the 28th year of his age.

It is with tho deepest feelings of regret that we record the death of this young

man, with whom wo became acquainted some eight years ago, while boarding and rooming with him at the Clark House, in Terre-Haute. At that time he was in the enjoyment of most excellent health, and many were the hours of social enjoyment which we have passed together in mutual

plans for the future. Our health at that time was very poor, and often has this warm friend and companion advised us to

quit the printing business, lest we should contract the same dread diseaso with which

he has since lingered so long, and which at last ended his existence, even at tho very age of maturity. Such is the uncertainty of life. Mr. Webb now sleeps his last sleep, and we are permitted by a kind

Providence to live and act yet a little longer. Ho was a Shoemaker by trade, and by too close confinement at his profession, and other causes growing out of exposure, he contracted a hasty consumption, which soon ended his life. There is a peculiar melancholy attending tho death of this

young man. He came among us some two years ago, and although possessed of a

O E I A

A Market House Needed.

It is generally conceded that tho present

is truly a progressive age, and although wo are willing to confess that this ia in a great measure true, we think it must be apparent to the people of Crawfordsville, at least, that we are retrogradiug in many respects. In 183G, tiventy years ago, wo arc told that our town had an excellent

market house, with all the necessary rules and regulations to carry on a healthy and pleasent trade with the farmers of the county who brought their produce to this place. At that time we had a population of about 1500 souls, all told—now, we have about 4000 in and adjoining the corporation, who buy their entire supply of marketing in this city and we have no market house, and no regulations whatever to govern the trade between the country and town. Such has been our progress during tho last twenty years, and such is our condition at present. There is not another town in the State, contain-

even less, but has a well regulated system

of trade, and a good market house in which to carry it on. But it is said "we over-leaped tho bounds of our legitimate calling" in our last issue, by pitching in-

or sinco tho abolition of tlio olcl markofc house. We do not mean to say that tho same individuals have been engaged in this humble calling, for twenty years, but that the same class of men havo controlled the marketing of the county, is beyond ques

tion. In order that wo may not be misunderstood, we will say that wo did not have special reference to any merchant or merchants who buy and sell produco, but that class of individuals who lay about their houses of business for the sole purpose of gathering up and shipping off instanter, every article which comes into the

market. Some few, however, have taken thc responsibility of "putting on thc shoe." To such, we havo only to say, if it fits, WEAR IT. Badly cornod toes, are like heads in the same fix—loo weak to be dangerous. If we misrepresented any one

are apparent among a few who are privately denouncing us. If they wish to refute tho charge, wo will generously offer them a spacc in the Journal, through which to clear their skirts. The more you flutter, and tho harder you try to extricate yourselves, tho deeper you will sink in the

mire, and the more public will be your I shame. If you wish to vent your spleen upon us, do it personally, and not by whinI iug like a whipped cur, in some back al-

ley. But we wish to urge upon our citizens the importance of the speedy erectior of a market house. This is the only effectual remedy wc havo against those individuals abovo mentioned, as we are told that it would be an impossibility for our citizens to club together and send off for their Groceries, &c., for the reason, that they havo not the money, and must buy at home. In answer to this, we have only to say, that we could put in our eye, all the Groceries bought here without the money, except perhaps, by a favored few, who are fortunate enough to bo real estate holders,

Edward T. llillycar, Newark, N. «L It. and that real estate, free from the shadow of a probability of all incumberances.— We are sure of one thing, that during our two years residence here, we have not bought to exceed five dollars worth of Groceries, for which we did not pay the cash at the time. We are now and have been heretofore doing advertising for different
