JUDGE CAMPBELL.

In another column our readers will find
an able article in relation to Judge Camp
BELLS qualifications for the office Of Supreme
Judge. The writer presents strong case,
such as must satisfy any one, who is not
wifully blind, or obstnatcIy prcjudced,
that Judge Campbell is not qualified for the
high station for which he has been nomina-
ted. The truth is the judicial question
should never have been trammclcd or
coupled with politics. What has the ad-
ministraion of justice TO do with mans
political viewS1 A Judge who could be
influenced by any political bias on the
Bench, would be spurned by every right
minded and honorable man, and yet we are
called upon to vote for a man, whose in
competency cannot be questioned by any
intelligent or well informed man, simply
because he has managed to get the nomina-
ton. As well might we select our clergy
man on party grounds, for they have just
about as much to do with politics, as an
honest and impartial Judge St09iA have in
the discharge OF his duties.
il is true, that both parties have made it
a party question, and we would say where
the candidates are in other respects equal,
there can be no harm in supporting the
candidate Of your party. The democratic
| ticket, with this one exception, is made up
of able ana competent men, aud will re-
ceyc our support, though we might have
preferred other men TO some of those who
have been selected. The qualifications OF
a Judicial officer can only be Judged Of
properly, by those attending his Court, and
what would be said Of any lawyer in this
district who would offer himself as a candi-
date OrJudge, nearly the whole Bar Of hi.
district should oppose him, on the ground
Of utter incompetency. These are qucs'
tions that suggest themselves to every re.
! nccting mind. \ true democrat is free
man, and does not fear to do what his con
science tells him to be right and his duty
He who has not sufficient Independence tC
do so, might as well be serG Of the Rus
sian deSpot, as a republican.

THE GERMAN PATRIOTS.

The anticipated arrival of DIR. Kinkel in our
city. is an event which deserves more than
merely passing notice.
An exile from the land of his fathers,he is well
come to our free shores, and doubly welcome
to our State. We like the man. He is no des-
pairing, broken hearted exile, sitting down with
folded hands to brood over his personal misfor-
tunes, and begging the bread which is to keep
him from starvation. He is looking away from
the darkness of the past, towards the future,
with high hopes and aspirations for glorious
resurrection Of the country which though he has
left he has by no means deserted.
Towards such men the admiration of our
countrymen is freely accorded. For them we
need exercise less of sympathy than of encour-
agement. Says the old adage God helps those
who help themselves" and Of this latter class
are Godfried Kinke, and all who think and act
like this glorious apostle of European freedom.
The efforts of Kinkel since his arrival among
us, have been turned towards measures for the
amelioration of the condition of the millions
whom he was compelled to leave at the mercy
of the oppressor. Already a German Leauge,"
is in progress, whose province it is to agitate"
the subject OF German emancipation. Means
are coming in freely, for the publishing and cir
culation in Europe, of documents TO enighten
the people, and nearly one hundred thousand
dollars is now subscribed for that purpose. The
hearts of the patriotic German emgrants
under the appeals of Kinkel, beat high for the
regeneration of their Father land" and his in
fuence is already reaching the remotest bounds
of the Republic.
All this is destined, slowly it may be, but not
the less surely, to operate upon the condition
of the down trodden masses of Central Europe.
Too truly alas, have the cowardly despots smoth-
cred the spirit of liberty in Germania, and stran-
gled in its birth the new born Constitution of
the Frankfort Parliament. The rights of the
people have been Observation-Disclosures the most
sacred have been annulled and military rule
alike despotic and irresponsible, has usurped
their place. Desoation once more broods over
her plains, and the Russian and Austrian birds
of prey are tapping their wings over the hateful
scene.
But their work is not yet done. The limbs
arc yet quivering and the manged body still re-
tans some portion of vitality. 1t needs only
the voice of sympathy-the men and the means
for action; and the commands of leader, to re.
invigorate the scattered remnants of German
patriotism, and marshal them anew in the holy
cause. We have an abiding faith in the courage
and consistency of the masses of that unhappy
country. We believe that their hour of tri
umph is near at hand, and that ere long, anoth
er glorious Republic, composed of the variou,
German States, will spring, Minerva like, "arm
ed from head to heel" into being.

GERMAN DEMOCRACY.

A letter from Auglaize county, in the States
man, says:
"One township in our county, (German) gave
1853 votes, not one of which contained the name
of Wing candidate! Can the United States,
North or South, beat this"
Perhaps not! for it would be difficult to find
many settlements so exclusively German; but
were there such settlements, we could bring
parallel to the cited case in double quick time.
The fact is, that all Germans--with very few
exceptions--are Democrats. They are so from
education and associations. IL is very strik-
ing fact, that they rarely backslide.
Is it strange!
Apeople are reared under a monarchial yoke.
The poor are slaves-hopeless slaves, in all the
great elements Of bondage. There is no hope
in their horzon--the body is over-tnsked 10
procure the necessities Of lfe 1t breaks down
in the dire struggle, and premature old age, beg
gary and starvation confront the toier. His
sons will not walk in the tortuous and unprof-
liable paths of honest industry They become
enemies of their kind His daughters sell their
souls for bread.
Thought is to him curse 1t must be chok-
ed in the outset or it will gnaw. at his heart like
promethean vulture, for it can find no vent
but at the expense of his life and liberty.
Even if he tears the chief tyrant from his
throne, his lot though much improved, has but
little to cheer. Long years of vassalage have
over-populated the country. He is constantly
embroiled with neighboring kings. Money and
high birth gradually recover from the blow, and
the form of government, though moderate in
name, is as strong as ever in advocating the
hateful feature of tyranny. He despars He
sells his little store, and comes TO this country.
The name of Democrat prescribed there is tri-
umphant here He finds in it all that he sighed
for He embraces it. The day dream of his
youth has become reality. Is it strange that
he should take the new emigrant by the hands,
and lead him in the same political path? Is it
strange that the township, exclusively German,
in Auglaize county, should be exclusively DEM
