The German Pa, riot Aeinzer.
A few days ago, we published speech re-
Gently made at Cincinnati by the German
patriot, Chas. Hcinze', in which he spoke Q
the nomination o. ii.rce, and OF the pres
ent democratic" p.rty, in no very compli-
mentary terms. We said NJ. Heinzer has
been connected with the Democratic party of
this country since his arrival here. We re-
ceived this impression from German friend
Of whom We made some inquiries respec-
ting Mr. H. He told us Mr.. H. had been ed
itor ola Democratic paper, the ,hneIlpost,
and was now connected with one, or h id
been lately. We probably misunderstood
also the expression radical Democrat in the
New York Tribune:
"Of all the exiles whom the European rev.
o.ution has brought to cur shores, none

However this may be, We were honest in
saying Heinzen was Democrat, as We un-
derstood the word in its parry apple ,tion.
We were aware of the enmity entertaine
by the editor of the Voiksbote to this patriot
and true democrat, and therefore we expected
the opposition oftha' paper. to any of the lib
eral views Entertained by so Independent a
republican as Heinzen. But we we'll knew
the name ofHeinzen is nursed warmly in the
hearts of the nass of Germans, and that
words coming from his lips would recei,e
their careful reflection. We were right in
i, both particulars, and have been glad to find
that many of our German friends do cherish
with love the mime of Heinzen, and that his
words, as we lately published them, have at
tracted their attention.
But We wish now to make few remarks
upon DR.. Fritsch's letter in the Times Ct
last Saturday We acknowledge the per-
sonal friendship between Dr. F. and Mr..
Heinzen, and that the former should have az
quaintance with the Leading opinions and
preferences of Mr. Heinzen. Dr. F. SAYS NJ.
II. is not Democrat-that he afnclines ia
that party which we know under the Free
Democracy" Dr.. F. however thus remark.

understand, has said he would support Gen

But we are Indifferent as to whether Mr.
Heinzer be Wing or Democrat. We dc
not make extracts from his letter for the pur.
pose OF giving the opinions of member OF
one of the parties, but the opinions of Ger.

great patriot. But first let us make an ex
tract from the Doctors. letter, which ma,
have some allusion 10 our friend of The

he says:
