Yoice OF the Germans.

We extract the following articles from the
German Democratic paper, published at this
place, relative to the attacks upon the Ger
ansin the Vanderburgh Democrat:
To the Editor Of the EUansuilIe Anzeiger
On the 9th inst there appeared two sepa-
rate Extras from the office of the Wander
burSh Democrat which must fill every Ger
man with Indignation.
The unfortunate occurrence which hap
pened on New Years Eve, during a ball at
MIR. Riddles, is well known to you, and we
think that what you have written about Ii
should be satisfactory to every one but from
this affair the Editor of the Vandcrburgh
Democrat makes capital and issues a base
slanderous article against all the Germans
and does it through the communication OF the
father of the unfortunate son, which he pub
Ilshes without enc editorial remark, and
which is only tie black outpourings of a ra
wing old man. By publishing without re-
marks he sanctions the well known article,
and thereby crowns it as his own.
Shame to the man and much more to the
editor OF a Democratic organ, who instead of
showing himself true Democrat, and instead
of bringing all Democrats into band of uni
lty-through religious discord, and such an
larticle of deep base SANDER seeks to drive
away, or dismember the German population
We have two extras issued on the 9th
They are indeed, one and the same, yet he
has his editorials in each somewhat altered.
What should we Germans under such cir
Icumstances do? The father of the unfortun-
ate son we shall pity, on account of his ra-
wings but the publisher of the Democrat we
should despise.
A paper which occupies its pagesi in sowing
discord instead of doing homage to Democ
racy can no longer be esteemed By any Dem
ocrat.
Therefore, henceforth down with the Ban
ner from this monster, which is no longer wor-
thy to carry the banner.
We have endured these ISLANDERS until the
present time, because we expected that in a
new Extra this mad effusion would be recall
led But having no such prospect, we ask for
insertion of this in your paper, which fairly
represents the Democratic principles and de-
serves to be supported by every German.
MANY GERMANS.
Evansville, January 18th, 1850.
To the gentlemanly Editor of the Journal,
upon his friendly inquiry in his yesterdays
paper, what we would say in regard to tie
unfortunate occurrence, originating at the
the ball of Mr.. Riddles, we would answer
for the information Of ALL that we shall de-
fend if necessary, not only Democracy but
also our German citizens, whenever wrong is
done them, or their honor is at stake, but that
we will not use our pen against an old man,
carried away by passion and rage, whose eff
fusions will be considered, by every reasona
bic man. whether American or German, as
the ebuitions of spirit of revenge, but we
lIU no obi -ho
in his paper against such base and SANDER
Gus communications. And may this be evil
dence to him of the good feeling of the Ger
mans, and, at the same time, a complete RET
utatIon of Mr. Burns accusation, that the
Germans are mostly criminals, banished or
Overlooking from their own country.
As our carriers passed round the city yes
terday morning with the Advertiser they oc :
casionally met with bigot or fanatic, who
summarily refused to receive the paper, with
out knowing one word of its contents
Advertiser.
Because certain Wings do not like to sup
port traitor in his treason, they are. as per
the above extract, called "bigots" and '.fa-
natics." We think Ben will consider the
great mass of Wings here, bigots and fanat-
les by the same rule. Every Wing who does
not wish to be published as bigot or fanat-
ic must take the Advertiser. He tried on
Monday to coax or wheedle them into sub
scribing for the Advertiser-he is now en-
deavoring to kick them into lending him their
support. 200 II cgTG
