VACANT Red Republican and Abolition principles
were announced, has. attracted some attention
abroad The Boston Courier republishes the docu-

from ordinary observers, who see IN them nothing
more than than the momeniary whims OF knot OF

This matter is however, of much gravrr character
and is one which demands the serious attention OF all
American statesmen.
1t is properto say that some of the most respec-

this Society consists Of only twenty three
members, and that its principles are utterly re-
undated by the great body of Germans here
