HeFc give you Tree translation OF an article
in the Hochwachter of Cincinnati, of the sth inst
headed as above, which for truthfulness, boldness
OF conception, conciseness and pointedness, bids
far to challenge superiority. Mr.. Hassaurek, the
editor of the Hochwachter is a man of unduestion-
able talent and genius, and although supporting
Mr.. Percc's election, on account of preference TO
Mr.. Scott and the mprobability of Hae's election,
is now second to none in the war against the dam
nabe institution. 1t will do your readers good to
peruse the article in question: as it will cheer up
and strengthen the weak and wavering, and please
the bold and fearless
The New York Stats Zeitung, the leading or
gan of the regular German American democrats
speaks its mind in utterly malicious, shameless
article relative to the slave question. Truly, we
arc put TO bushes, if we reflect that the language
of a Schiller, Herde' and Kant is used to promul-
gate such out and out corrupt opinions-bctwixt
which the Judas eye of treason winks askance-
1t is well indeed, that the infallibity and author-
| ty of this German Organ is shvcred to pieces !;
that the voices eonsecrated to humanity are more
and significant and arc strongly and earnestly ava
king the conscience Of our national brethren-that
| the army of those brave men, who have cmanci-
! patcd from party corruption, is swelling NIGHTLY
that the most decided, vigorous and intellectual
powers arc enlisting in the service of an all i'm
| maculatc freedom and the inalicuablc rights of
man. 1t is truly encouraging to muster the lines
of battle to see how a great, heroic, sacrificing
troop breaks into the masses, and one black ban
ner of sIavcholderdom after another sinks, and in
its place the aurora-colorcd SAVIOUR banner of the
| future unfolds before our eyes
The multitude of free publishers is pressing for
ward everywhere no dark old bunker castle is
frightening them away Continually the free spi
rit is conquering, daily making prisoners, and
then converting such disconnected prisoners into
really free men. Free speech and free press in
cessantly labor, for our mission is great, and wor
thy the sweat and the suffering.
The New York State Lady (Staats Damc) in
| her known supcranuated wisdom and arrogance
and adorned in the southern lackcy gala dress,
! blows ont and rattlcs now at Il remarkable rate
| You see she is chagrned, she scents danger
smells rat as we would say--she is irving to
extngush the flame that is consuming all of her
kindred On all sides it crashes and whrIs, she
|
arising from feeling of financial and we'll enough
off security is gone to the devil Now the old
! rustcd editorial cannon, n decided 4S FOUNDER
comes FORTH hu, hu! The Slare question in prac-
teal point Of Uieuc, it thundcrs out.
| The old State Lady, who has already witness
ell SO many storms is naturally practical old la
DIV; she OF course has 20 years American prac-
tcc. The theory, what matter to her the con-
founded theory of the young egeliancrs disciples
of IIegel, the great German philosopher
In order to reply theoretically she must possess
knowledge and philosophy. Taking up the slave
question in real humane manner, she feels her
self impotcnt; therefore Of course, the practical
side the practical point Of rietc must be rendered
prominent.
We certainly shall not quarrel with the Stats
Zeitung about her separation of theory and prac-
ticc she does not perceive the relation both have
to each other, else she would not divide the slave
question in theory and practice but arrive at
once Mt the result of incompatible invcstiga-
ton, to wit: that the theory Man has an Unborn
right to be Free and all men stand upon equal rights
is also at the same time, the most practical and
! usetd and best promoting the general welfare
for theory is nothing but the extract of practice.
Experience and practice, for instance, have pro-
we'd that q most fair and equitable government
is at the same time the most prosperous and tru-
ly independent one, for righteousness is the foun-
dation of rational government.
| But let us look for once at the wrinked, wca
thcr-beatcn practice of the hunker,iack of William
street. We did read his article with great attcn-
ton, read it twice, and examined it seriously for
fear of being unjust and in order to acknowledge
the least sparkle of honor and honesty, if some
such think was to be found therein, but
There we stood, miserable fool,
! And were as wise as heretofore"
When the hundred fold spraincd trihc, taken from
the perforated, worn-off political school bag, was
rummagcd over and the dirt of uuprincpled per-
sonal sallics was laid aside there was nothing left
| but the compromise baseness; TO wit
| Because the slaves worth and so much
and We know not rhat to do in this matter, there
fore it pleases to refuse their manumission."
Here you have the real substance of Newman's
practice, here his practical fishing pole, around
which the honor, conscience and good sense of his
countrymcn are TO turn like tho ass in the mill
The three most noted passages of the article I'M
der consideration are a. They demand of one
portion of the Union to diyest itself of property
of one thousand millions of dollars, and to sacri-
fec its entire system of social organization calling
upon the other portion to compel the first thereto
| if it should dare to refuse.
b. Twelve millions of republican brethren ="
the north are TO be under obligation of robbing
nine millions of republican brethren at the south
of their property to the amount of one thousand
millions of dollars and tear the glorious Union in
TO pieces.
c. The world has no right TO demand of a ma
ton thus sacrificing her interest, peace and well
fare for illustrating an abstract principle of natu
raj law to revile the United States citizens, be-
cause they do not choose in offering themselves as
a sacrifice on the altar of philanthropy, arising
from motives different from and at variance with
a zeal for the general welfare of all mankind.
Behold, German countrymen, how low Ger
man bunker sinks What neither the Constitu-
