handed, at the time the twelve negroes in Boston
set another at liberty. This would be the proba-
bic course Of the reaction, course easily con-
jectured, from the Baltimore Platform, and that,
too, with good degree of certainty, and thus
would the Democratic party have the honor oi
having forged the yoke Of the Slave. holders.
Gentlemen, formy part, assure you that could
bring myself TO choose vassalage to the Gar OF
Russia rather than be member OF party which
calls itself Democratic and Republican, and at the
same time brands agitation on the subject of Sla-
very as criminal. He who adopts name in ac-
cordance with his real character, acts honorably
at all events though he follow the most abandoned
path; but he who cherishes wickedness under the
show of virtue adds to his crimes both impudence
ano hypocrisy. The Democratic party, as il now
exhibits itself, in spite of the "msral y" liberal"
and progressive expressions in its platform,
has no more of true democracy than the name
and nothing can be more appropriate to 1t than
what its own platform says of the Wing party,
(which conceiyes no imposture too monstous Tor
the popular credullty."
have now in few words shown the character of
the Baltimore Platform, IN so far as 1t speaks
out. 1t is, however, characteristic IN It's silence,
and in this regard its silence upon questions OF
foreign policy is of peculiar significance hossuth,
who IN spite Of all previous ntlmatlons, ana all
experience wouid not believe in the rule OF the
saveho ders must now know what he has to hope
with Europe work unfayoraby upon the Cotton
trade, and meddling with European slavery might
possibly have retroactive influence upon that III
America therefore, is neutrality OF necessity the
foreign policy of the Shareholders, not 10 speak
of the natural sympathy of one tyrant for others.
From North America may never be expected the
slightest official aid TO European liberty, so long
as the rule of the stakeholder remains unbr, ken,
and nothing is more loathsome than the bullying
OF so-called Democratic sheets, which threaten
destruction to European tyrants and at the sam
time kiss the feet of the shareholders.
No man, in the present position of ailirs, can
have stronger motives for earnest consideration
OF the relations which they sustain to the parties
in this country, than our countymen. Most
Germans tend naturally to the Democratic party.
But they allow themselves to be deceived through
the great names of the past and the original sig
nificance which the term Democracy won in the
times of the Federalists 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 Democra-
tic party is entirely rotten, has completely gone
over to slayehOding and hunkerdom.
To all, on which the Germans especially lay the
greatest stress-namely freedom OF the public
lands limiting the slayeholdlng policy, aud de-
cided stand in relation 10 foreign natons-to all
this the Baltimore Platform offers the direct oppo-
site. And this platform, the servie bunker press
calls the foundation on which we must 60 on ana
build" Let the Russian Gar erect his rule upon
the ruins of the Republic, and the seryile Hunker'
would name COssackdOm foundation on wnlch
to ".go on and build We must go on and
build" in quite different fashion.
From the struggles of 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 tins new
birth, our conduct would be truly Democratic,
should we seek to assist them in yanqushing the
Democratic party.
