When the Democrats erect taller one,Weh
let the people know.
The German Patriot Chas. Heinzcn.
We hope none of our German friends are
ignorant of the name heading this article
They recognize in Mr.. Heinzen. patriot of
the last Revolution They have known
him in this country as editor of Democrat
ic paper-the N. York SchaelLpost. He is
now editor of Weekly paper in New York
called the janus. A radical Democrat, he is
at the same time one of the most independ-
ent writer's in the country. He tells tie truth
that which the leaders in his own party
hate to hear-no matter what may happen.
He was lately at Cincinnati and while there
made speech to his German friends. We
find a translation of il in the New York Tri-
bune, and make few extracts from it TO show
"that the Germans of this country are not
all disposed to go it blind for the sham De-
mocracy." We ask our German friends,
members of the Democratic party especially
Ito read these extracts. We are sorry we
For, gentlemen, in the sight of these
Conventions nothing is more sacred than the
will of the people. The gentlemen at Bal
tmore knew, for instance that, the will OF
the majority was in favor of General Cass;
and since the will of the people is law, they.

who feared the foreign policy Of Cass' chose
General Pierce.
Well, then, the candidates selected by the
Convention are the Northern Mr.. Pierce in

of the obscure Mr. Pierce who was scarcely
known out of his own family circle. Yet
, no sooner is this Mr.. Pierce put forward as
the candidate, than, as if by magic, he at one
blow becomes one of the great ones of earth
: fills large space in all true democratic
hearts, and the depth and purity of their love
for him become boundless. In Germany, thew
call this sort of thing servillity, want of prin.
ciple, lunacy, &c. In American it is fidelity
to party, and the Convention of Hnmbug.

or King Guizo of Dahomy, as their candidate
every real Democrat would have been bound
: from that moment to love him as the father
of his country. y
This gentleman, (the Democratic platform)
cemprehends within itself the darkest sen.
: tence which was ever passed upon the De-
mocratic party. 1t is the ban of all freedom
an attack upon all human right, a sentence
of anihilation against all Democracy. Such
language is not republican, it is Russian.
The consequences OF this act, should thepres-
: ent so called Democracy Come into power can
mol be other than restraint OF the freedom of
the Press, restriction of the right of public
assembly, and rule of the mob =
No men, in the present position of affairs
, can have stronger motives for earnes: consi-
deration of the relations which they sustain
to the parties in this county, than cur coun-
trymen. Most Germans tend to the Demo
cratic party. But they allow themselves to
DC deceived through the great names of the
past and the original significance which the
term Democracy won in the times of the
Fedcralists. That period is past; Jefferson,
whom the party claims as its father, would
stand appalled,, could he stand once more
among such degenerate children. The De-
Inocratic party is.i.t.rely rotten, has complete
ly gone over to slaveholding hunkerdom.
10 all, on which the Germans especially
lay the greatest stress-mamely, freedom of
the public land, limiting the slaveholding pol
icy, and adecIdcd stand in relation to foreign
offers the direct opposite. And this platform,
the servile bunker press calls the foundation
oil which we must ''go on and build" Let
the Russian Car erect his rule upon the ruins
OF the Republic, and the serviIe Hunkers
would name Cossackdom foundation ON
which TO go on and build.' We must ''ro

From the struggles n the times new
and sound Democratic party must be brought
forth, to which men of right hearts, full OF the
love of liberty, men of principle and honor,
may attach themselves. And should another
victory of the Wing party be necessary to
bring about this new birth, our conduct
would be.truly Democratic, should we seek
to assist them in vanquishing the Democratic
party.
Since writing the Introductory of this ar
ticle, German friend has informed us, that
MIR. Heinzen declared at Louisville he would
vote for Gen. Scott.
