The Old Line Clique and the Germans,

The Old Line Clique and the Germans.
The Old Line leaders of Evansville or OF
Pigeon Township, have at last maze u's-
covery, and a very disagreeable discovery IL
is to them-that the Germans cannot always
be made the tools of petty demagogue
Chime. At last these leaders have presumed
100 far--at last they have trampted on the
worm, and it has turned and stung them.
This clique of demagogues got up Town
ship Convention to nominate candidate for
Justice of the Peace. AS German Demo-
Gratis have stated in our paper, they did not
treat the Germans with proper respect, nor
give them the proper notification of this
Convention. In fact, these leaders had pick,
ed out their candidate before the Convention
met, as they always have done in similar
cases, and if every German in Evansville
had been there, the nominee would have
been an Irishman and Catholic. The Ger
ma ms naturally protested against this kind
of nomination, although they have had the
organ of the clique first reasoned with them,
then commanded them into the traces. We
make an extract from a leading editorial of
this organ. They are first told they have
had their full share of Offices, and then fol-
lows
If they now bring out another candidate
it will secure the election of Know Moth
ing Justice and it will be the beginning of a
split in the Democratic party here which will
give the city over to The enemy, and the terri
Bile consequences will rest upon the few self
willed "rue or RUM Red Republican Ger
mans. The rights of all should be regarded
| other people should be allowed some priv
ileges as we'll as these disaffected Germans.
The township, city or State does not belong
exclusively to them. They have T1hts and
no one of the Democratic party will interfere
with them in any way. But we demand it as
one of the rights of the Democratic party that
these men should vote the Democratic NOM
mated ticket. We have a right to these
votes and will insist upon having them. To
witho old them will be a violation of flighted
faith.
| As numbers and great numbers of Ger
mand did withhold their votes from the clique
nominee, it appears By this organ, that they
have Violated their pIightcd faith, and have
obstinately voted just as they pleased not
withstanding the clique claimed a right to
their votes, and Insisted upon having them
aye, demanded Of them they "should vote
the Democratic nominated ticket"
Noqc what do German Democrats in Ev-
ansvile think of their positson! 1t appears,
according to the clique organ, they are all
"self.wied rule or ruin,' Red Republican
Germans" robably some of them may
recollect our old warnings of this very Old
Lire clique. This clique has this time at
tempted just precisely what it has frequently
done before to cram down tie threats CT
Germans the man of clique. Heretofore
they have made tools OF the Gernaus-this
time they have fai.ed-thai's all.

Burlington Business.

The editor of the Keosuaqua Republican
recently visited our city, and was convinced,
as all are who visits us, that we are going
ahead at rapid pace railroad speed -and
fast outstripping all our ambitious rivals
along the river. We cut the following

men, fully endorsing all he says of ]. S.

Since the completion of the Chicago and
Burlington Railroad the business of the lat

has almost doubled since. The Wholesale
houses already opened-the numerous busi-
ness houses in process of constructions
countless number of good able business men
from the east who have lately settled there,
and the busy appearance of the crowded
streets-alI attest the prosperity of Burling-
ton. The truth is that a better connection
than Burlington with the Eastern cities can
not be found. Goods from the East ra

Oar neighbor, usder the management
Of protein. recently exhibited some symp-
toms of backbone, in speaking the sent
Iimcnts Of every freeman on the case Of
Judge Kane and some other topics and
gave hope which has proven delusive,
that it had abandoned some of its errors.
Since his retirement, with an intimation
that he I'D been prevented from speaking
out as he would have done, the paper has
relapsed into the bottomless pit Of old fogy-
ism. With the admitted fact that Kansas
was conquered by Missourians and its sct.'
tiers deprived Of the dearest rights guar
anteed to an American citizen, it is actu-
ally arguing that resistance to the enact
ments Of this mock legislature, unworthy
even Of nation of Mexican grcasers, is
TREAsoNABLE, aud asserting that the only
remedy for the settlers is through the bal
lot box. And the Missouri villains hav-
ing given every man the right to vote pro-
vided he will pay one dollar, just so
long as they can send desperadocs e.
neugh across the border to out vote, the
actual settlers in Kansas, just SO long must
the settlers submit to just sach laws as
their conquerors are pleased to enact and
n earthly power has right to interfere!
4 II ~
Why does, not the general government in
terfere and protect settlers in the enjoy
ment Of their rights? Oh says stolid old
fogyism, the States and Territories are to
be left free to decide their own affairs in
their own way? Yes, but here is the ad-.
mitted fact that they are deprived of the
right and are unable to protect themselves!
Butsays fogyism, they are set of woolly
abolition conspirators
Exactly so. No man has any rights in
this government unless he is in favor Of
the extension of slavery over all the terri
tories of the United States. There is no
protection for his life or property. All the
power of the Government-our army and
navy are brought into immediate requisi-
ton to rescuea a niger and return him to
his owner. But man who is "woolly"
in his opinion has no rights-it is perfectly
right to tar and feather him-ride him on
rail-send him down the river in Ca
noe break his press and destroy his type
if he is printer-warn him to leave un-
der pain of death if he has good land
claim. This is all right. He has no bus
mess being "woollyv' @9
This is distinction not made by the
early founders of our Government. We
find nothing about it in the declaration Of
independence, arti les OF confederation. or
Constitution 1t has been left for this
weak and puerile administration and its
satellites to discover that only such as en-
tcrtain orthodox opinions on slavery are
to be protected iu their persons and pro-
perty.

IMPROVED STEAM PADDLE WHEEIs.1
Capt. Throop, on Lake Ontario says the
Buffalo Commercial, has invented Il new
bucket for steamboat paddle wheels, an
improvement which bids fair to be OF
great utility and value Thus far the ex
pertinent with the Improvements have
proved very successful aud satisfactory
One that has seen a model of the new
bucket says that it works something like
scoop, dipping into the water instead Of
,lapping it with the broad surface of the
paddle, thus giving the boat an easier mo-
ton, causing less jar and shaking. Not
only so but greater speed is attained with
this bucket BY actual observation the
Ontario, with this Improvement has made
better time, and consumed less fuel than
any boat on the lake. Capt. Throop has
already applied for a patent.
