MEssRs. EDlroEs In my correspondence
No. !, yourselves and readers of the Express
will have perceived that after have reprchendcd
the evil, and especially the vice of falsehood
| also acknowledged thc virtues of my opponents,
and especially acknowledged their sacrifice for
the german press. But you viii perceive that
the closer physiology applies the rule Of OBJ
servation to mankind, the more he will find Pc
ding to the Phrcnologc of the celebrated DIR.
Gall, the organ of falschood of the german
whig army, must be very largely developed, and
that they susceptible Of the highest sacrifice
for the general welfare and especially for the
wclfale Of the german press we have seen al.
ready. But by a closer investigation, l find li,,
u;lca-d of fact, that by Mr. kaufman, the
bought editor of the german whig paper, two,
still more largely developed organs must be en-
tiscly united, viz the organ of cunning and the
organ of stupidity, that you may truly say
this subject is cunningly stupid. Endowed with
these peculiar organs, Mr.. Kattman took hold
{
Spring against the liquor law, and of which he
gives an abstract in the Miners Express, and
also furnishes in his cunning stupidity, COM
mentary thereon in which he gays, that he feels
himself authorized, by my opposition to the law,
to recommend the whole whig ticket to the ger
man population, Ito vote himself no is yet too
much of grccn-hc-n) And he thinks that
even have broken my pledge to the Wings
Such a cunning stupidity might be excusable in
a (as the New York Stats Zeitnng says) petit
foging vagabond who has been driven to our
shores, and might be left to his green horn be-
lief, but tor this Kattman with his foul mouth
full Of air which he has breathed here, and with
the dimes Which have been civen him by the
wings, is too itnpudent, and it would be far more
becoming iii him if he would quit abusing the
democratic party. To calumnate party in the
whole, to whose cxertions alone he may be
thankful that he enjoys equal rights, and as a
toreigner, is not slave for 81 years in this
country, is mean and contemptiblc but to suffer
himself to be bought for that purpose, is base
and abject beyond conception. But to abuse a
party which you do not know, nor had time 10
get acquainted with whose language you do
not understand, and with the works of its great
est men you are unacquainted; whose struggles
against aristocracy, preserved in numbcress
works, you can Qike Kattman) not even read
this shows the lowest grade of education, and
nothing but the stupidity of a mean prater-
To show this pratlcr Kattnlan, in his glory Of
cunning stupidity, entices me to expose his y
ing propensitcs, with which he tries to establish
facts, by abstracts out of my pamphlet, for the
purpose of screening his venality. Just like ar
unscrupulou5 opponent who reaches through al
pen window and takes every thing he chooses, ane
slows it, mixed up like krout and turnips in his bag
so has kaufman put his hand In my pamphleta and
taken what he desired, and as an unscrupulous
opponent, hides every thing which might cx.
pose him, so has Kattman left every thing he
found in my pamphlet, which might expose him
| as liar. For instance, in No. IL, of his pa PEI
and column 4, line 13, of my pamphlet, he COM
mences with the words Legislative body, goes on
to line 10, leaves cut three lines, commences
again by line %, goes Oh to line %, stops there
and makes cats leap to line SO. And over
what part of my pamphlet did he make such a
cats leap' Just over that part relating to the
position, on which had based my opposition to
the legislature, and on which had based my
platform in opposition to the liquor law at the
coming election.
