From the ST. Louis Republican,.

The ST Louis Tribune, German paper. aliu-
ding to the common pre- ,dices of his countrymen
against the Wing party, gives the following sy-
nopsis of Whiy politics and his course. Whit
honest and impartial man Will oppose the princi-
Piles or say that they are not ccrrectf To US 1t
IS passinnlv strange that any foreigner can be-
ieye that the Wings individually as party.
are opposed to their enjoying political rights 1t
is the abuse Of privileges and not the use OF them
that is condemned. But on the opposite hand ii
is dcmonstrabe fact that the opposition Of the
dominant party has been carried much farther.
Let this foreigner speak for himself.
From the ..Tribune.-'
We scarcely know, whether to pass by in silent
pity some papers, respecting the manner, IN
which they notice the appearance OF our paper on
account o. our professed political creed; or whe-
Their we shalt take the trouble TO rcute their dc
tatorial, one-sded notions and assertions. Some
German papers in part cnlur. distinguish them
selves bv their spirit of intolerance and mania
for blind condemnation. From these we had ex-
nected such course last of ALL but rather suppo-
sed that the oppression, which their conductors
suffered in their native home, would have enarat-
ted in their memory the tnesimabic value o! tree
dom of opnion and that, instead of the dociaina-
ton ana indiscrininate abuse, they would have
entered into calm and candid investigation 81
the principal points issue IN present poltI-
cal dIssensons. Bat it is sad truth that those
who wore the heaviest fet,ers become, after gain
inc their freedom, the most severe masters. we
see daily that spirit of persecution. which rpii-
grim fathers of New England showed towards al!
dissenters point of religion, exhibited upon tae
field of public affairs and most OF all By IN" Eni-
grants 4 sorry caricature of the position OF
both parties is drawn by the hand OF ignorance
or deceit: and by this aolens roLess, an Anathcrna

men, that only they able, duly to appreciate
the duties of republican citizen? Is every on-,-
who dare. to differ with them IN point OF opinion,
already on that account a traitor to his country?
Nav not the exertions of the opposition be just
the only pillars of safety for the preservation OF
our freedoml Are gentlemen, per adventure,
not still revealing in the intoxication OF novelty
which the American institutions, as yei are to
them aud do they not pay already rnconsciousiy
honage TO new tyranical dominion, because,
forsooth! the ninlbu. of republican form envel-
opes Il?
In ORDER that those gentlemen who are too pre-
JUDGED even to make themselves properly ac-
ouainted with the principles Of the Wings, may
have an opportunity TO appreciate US according to
our worthiness or unworthiness, we will suhIoin
for them and the Public briefly those maxirns,
which we atvorate and which have been public
" avowed in all Wing papers, and particularly, IN
this city, by the Missouri Republican IN the most
fearless and independent manner

We will combat before the people. on all occa-
