CLEAR THE TRAcK-THE GERMANS ARE
COMING.-We find the following in the Gin
cinnati Atlas of last "Wednesday. 1t is AZ
extract of letter of fifteen Germans, whose
names are all given in the Atlas, and who
name Wing as candidate for Congress
and pledge themselves for five hundred Ger
man votes that have never been cast for any
Wing ticket.
Mr.. EDITOR:-We, as German voters Of
the second Congressional district of Hamil-
ton county, have, for many years past, voted
and acted with the Democratic party, suppos-
ing the principles of that party true to the
great interests of our adopted home, and the
free institutions of our glorious and independ-
ent country. But, satisfied from the move
ments of the late Democratic convention the
interests of our country and her institutions
are no part of the creed of the present lead
ers of that party; on the contrary self-cmula-
ton is the sole object OF those demagogues.
We know them well now. We know their
love for the Dutch. They would ride into off.
ice through our votes, and then kick us for
our stupidity. We now frankly confess we
have been duped for years, and sincerely
hope our brethren will not remain in the dark
as long as we have. We shall, each of us,
use every effort to give them light, that they
may see sooner than we have the error they
have fallen into.

Piercing Authorities.

Ex-President John Tyler said: al must say,
without disparasement to any, that the noml-
nation of Gen. Pierce is destined to carry
with it quite as much, if not more influence
in the election, than any other man that could
have been made. regard Gen. Pierce'S elec-
ton as nGrt 10 certain"
AS early as last January, the New York
Herald, which is one of the most thorough
and ably conducted newspapers in the world,
and is u faithful exponent of the views OF
the masses of the American people, set forth
the power of Gen. Pierce's name as a cam
didate for the Presidency.
The above are volunteer vouchers for the
character and success of Gen. Pierce.
If this is not an open acknowledgment of
total want of capacity for any station where
honesty and fidelity are requisite then posi-
tive evidence is not conclusive to establish a
fact. An honest man who will allow John
Tyler to speak in complimentary terms OF
him, can have but little regard for his repu-
tation; and as treachery is synonymous with
the name of Tyler-you may look to the op-
posite side of any statement he may make
for the truth.
As regards the New York Herald, whose
editor has been kicked farther for libeling
honest, respectable citizens, than he has ev-
er travelled by any other conveyance, the
"power with which he will set forth Gen.
Pierce's name for the Presidency will in the
estimation of all honest men, give it a
movement in a retrograde direction.
This man BENEFIT! the notorious recipient
of "Black Mall" before be lifts his pen to
advocate the claims of any man, for any po-
sition, is arrayed with John Iyer as 10 ,ctsrs
for the capacity of Gen. Pierce for the Pres
idency.
Tyler says, that che regards the election
of Piece as next to certain" There being
no medium ground between certainty and un-
certainty-John, undoubtedly, means the lat
ter, as that is the next thing, and fair in
depreciation of his statements.
