The VoIcE OF THE GERMANs.-We know
not as we ought to know, how our German
citizens feel and will act on The Nebraska ques-
ton, They are most uncompromisingly OPP
posed to this scheme Of slavery aggrandize-
ment. They are so, in more determined tones
OF hostility than has been supposed. The
following may be specimen, taken from the
Rt"rm, German paper printed at Louis
vile, Kentucky -
Tie NEBRASKA QuEsTIoN.-Very often the
organs Of the Hunker party say " Behold,
Nebraska and Kansas will be free States yet,
the free immigration conquers through her
masses the Revolvers ana Bowie-Knives OF
the Missouri and Arkansas immigration"
Yes, liberty conquers and will conquer but
not through you, whose corrupted souls are
bought up by the South. The masses of the
free immigrants. who will obtain the victory,
are not sent and encouraged by you, but by
the opponents Of the Nebraska bill in the free
States, to render your ac cursed treachery harm
less. Were you as unsefsh, were you pos.
sessed Of as much devotionSs those abuse | by
you as Abolitouists," you would send pro-
slavery men there in masses and that TRIAL
TOR Stephen Arnold Douglas would head
the caravan with fifty Louisiana Slaves.
1t is at any rate not the sole object OF thi
congressional election to repeal the treacherJ
Of the Nebraska bill, but to crush essentiail,
the thirty gears s'oay Of The Sonthern Stare
ho'drs oucr the Unioa, and to make slavery
