= On the ith Of August, it happened that said
Fl. Koch got tried, and consequently fined
s25, by an American justice of the peace, for
assault and battery upon a young physician,
FL Koch's assault has not happened ia rny way
Of dispute or anger; bur with premeditation,
.provcdAby Witnesses, such threats having pre-
Viousiv been pronounced. '.'h.
"H Koch, at all events, may never flattcr
himself with the idea that we honor him with
these lines we have no dealings with him we
abide by the law of truth, by the Judgment Of
intellect; but never by the abusive rights of The
tist,'' #5a
# H. Koch published last season. both in Ger
man and English, pamphlet from which we
will quote, some few passages, as they were
printed in No.1l of the iowa Staats Zei'ung
1t is Interesting to notice the former and pre-
sent position OF H. Koch, evidently contradic
tory, particularly because therein appears the
Justification of the Germans for voting Wing
ticket; for this reason, we take the liberty to
introduce the following extract of II. Koch's
pamphlet in moderate translation
g Our last Legislature, by herself called
Democratic, has enacted dsgraceful law, a
law which gives us permission how. we may
drink, and where we shall drink. MIR. IIanf,
tear down the title I" North Hcstcrn Democrat,
from the head OF your paper, if you desire that
this paper shall have in future homestead on
the free, but at present polluted hearth, of free
Americans. Northwestern Democracy o,
if possessed the voice Of thunder, &c. &c.
Free and openly, cry into the world, this
Democracy is disgrace to all mankind for the
manner she trampIes our most holy rights of
man under foot. And so | cry as loud as a man
is able to cry, and so | write glowing with
wrath as man only can write, for the purpose
that all nations and all men may hear and read
Our Democracy, as she appeared IN majority
in our last Legislature. is a robber of the un-
saleable rights Of man.
IS She, this so-called Democracy, got at last
disqualified to make laws for free Americans,
because she presents us (whaI we never eS-
pected) Governor who valued his word even
as little for his voters, as" ETC.:
" The Legislative body of a party of free
Amer leans, which eevates pcttcoat govern
mcnt and prerogatives of ianatical sects, III the
capitol Of the people, to the dignity of laws is
not qualified to secure, 10 uphold, and to en-
large The right, the freedom, and the laws of ma
ture for free Americans
Such body should, at the next election of
free men of all parties, get annihiated, and
ought to be banished from the halls Of legisla
ton; ought to be exiled for ever.
g Therefore, | renounce herewith in the
name of my God, the God of liberty and rea
son, party in whose ranks | fought IN the
West since eighteen years. and for which al |
ways faithfully battled with all my physical
and mental powers. From this time | shall,
with soul and body, property and blood, and
with all what | am, and what possess, war
against the tyrant who, by the name Of Demo.
crazy, tramples upon our unsaleabe rights of
man.
$50 be it, SO shall it happen, so help me
God, the God of reason and Liberty.

Now, this II. Koch, after depicting the Lee
gislaure and the Governor (DemocraD of the
State of Iowa thus, pitliu, mean, and dis
qualified, after melting others to ruin this De-
mocracy; after nnathemizing and renouncIng
her with an oath by his God Of reason after
believing that the German population in parti-
cnlar were seized by the wrath of their leader,
II. Koch, and carried saway,-aiter all that, he
he Knocks and calumniates these very Germans,
who tried not with hollow cry, but in fact
and deed at the ballot box, to ruin this Demo
cratic mean party, and crys out, 6 You are
Wings You have sold yourselves, and the
press =
He, the mainerycr. the man glowing with
wrath, the fulminator, the man that battles with |
fire and and curses against the Democrats Of
Iowa yes, he is the very first that breaks his |
cath, sworn by the God of liberty and reason
He even boasts of his shame, and to hide his |
own defects, he mpuies to honest free men by |
his communication, to the 1ribRnc of ST. Louis.
His case is that Of the thief who, when he was |
going to be caught, cried out, :. Stop thief !"

German population ackn Wedge (wlii h An |
