THE GERMANS AND NEBRASKA.

The Germans generally opposed to the Nc
braska in;quity. That is hopeful. Nebraska
meetings have been held East and West. The
following notices of the opinions of some of thciI
papers, We copy from the Sandusky Mirror.
Now, Mcssrs. Editors, hear the opinion Of some
of our German papers, aud you will find out that
they are all otecting. The Democratic TagcLatt
published in Cincinnati, says on that subject;
Douglass the friend of the people, who travelled
through Europe as a real republican, and acted so
fairly against the dcspots, who, instigaed with his
patriot aVticcs which were copied by all papers Of
the Union, turned out unfairly, and manulac
turcd Bill which hurts our feelings and the wei
fare Of our country forever, The Nebraska bill
can never get the vote of good citizen"
The Reading Adler, (Eaglc) tho oldest German
paper in the Union, also comes out against the
bill Ii says:
ave must protest with all honorable ways and
means against that bill, and tell our Representa-
tiyes and Legislators to object"
The Pioneer" edited by Charles lIcinzcn in
Louisville, Ky, says:
The Traitors bill of Douglass is still suspcn-
sive. Will victory crown its success, then all com
promises will be quashed."
This Bill, says the IIochwachter is treason
on liberty and human right"
1--WE fear the bill will go through, and indeed
with the votes of Kentucky not with the votes of
the Germans but with those of the Shareholders"

The political rcproach and shame is at present
concentrated in the assembled irsdom ut Washing
ton. Cass' speaks in favor of Bedini and Douglas
for the infamous Nebraska bill. What do the free
American people say to these facts ?"-Free Press
# Indianapolis.
These are only few extracts out of the German
papers, but can assure you that all these papers
land there over hundred) will object. One
thing is certain, that Mr., Douglass will not have
any profit of his notion, that he will not be our
next President because we do not like to have a
Shareholder in that important post. We do not
want that 'idHIe gidV' as the first officer Of our
glorious country. That is not my opinion alone
1t Is that Of all the German population.

SENATOR pETIT.-The most outrageous speech
that has been made in the t. S. Senate in favor Of
the Nebraska question is that Of Senator Petit Of
Indiana. lie has utterly outdono them all in his
infamy and audacity. This he probably thought
necessary to wipe out the remembrance of his for
merWilmot proysoism. We give a specimen of
his Democracy.
at was a hvorite theme for gentlemen to talk
about the Declaration of independence, and that
by II ell men were declared 10 be born free and
'equai He did not believe that jefferson ever used
it in the broad sense now placed upon it, 1--WE
nOlu u 10 pe sen evident, that all men are born
free and equal" cds nothing more to him than a
self epido,a he Nature contradicted it. The lame
blind, deformed, idiotc, lunatic insane were not
his equals The slaves at the South, whose volume
of brain was one-third that of other men, were not
his equals Tbs negroes in the free States, or upon
the burning sands Of Africa, were not bis equals
Tho serfs Of Russia, who bowed and crnged be-
fore the Antocrat and would willingly lick thoir
masters spittle, were not his equals. If Senator's
believed these to be born free and equal he spnrn
cd the equality. There might sometimes be polit-
cal equality, but thut was created by law =
lie spoke what all men knew and felt il they had
wero not born free and equal and that there is no
sucrthing as social. moral, mental. or physical
equality smong mel, God himself forbade ii. In
His thcocrncy lie created kings princes, priests and
subordinotcss and llc spoke nothing but the rrcor-
dod will Of God when lie declared all men were not
created equul.'
