The American patriot., 1855-12-01
Let The South Take Heed.


If any native American, Of whatever party,
can read the following impudent declaration Of
Detroit Democratic German paper, without
having his blood heated, without Indignation
and resentment, then may we despair of Amer
lea ever being governed by Americans. Ifpar-
ty fealty, love of power, love of spoils, s,-if any
consideration, indeed, can make native Ameri-
cans blind to the danger Of foreign influence,
and fail to arouse them to resistance, with such
declaration as this, from a foreign journal,
then are the days Of the Republic numbered:
Foreigners and Slacery.-ln Detroit there
is Democratic German paper called the
Michigan Volksblatt," Of which a Mr.. c. Es-
selen, is editor. In speaking of the course his
paper intends to pursue, this Apostle Of Dutch
Democracy, promises war upon Nativcisrn,
Professionalism and Temperance! And speak
ing Of Slavery he says:
I'm order to define at once our course with
all decision, We declare, that as a general thing
we consider this slauery question as the turn
ing point to all american politics. and that
especially, for us Germans, we recognise it as
our duty to resist the extension of slavery and
its political power, withall the means at our
command. This we are bidden to do not only
for humanity, which opposes every bsrbarism
and oppression, not only by the eternal, un-
spcakable rights of man, by the strength Of
which we claim our own liberty, not only by
our honor, which demands that here in Amer
ca, we should show ourselves worthy of the
civilization of our old home our interest also
requires 1t, the interest Of the immigyatcd
citizen and Of free laJor which will not allow
slavery to be extended over the wide terrific
ries of the West"
Below we add card from the Albany Eve
ming journal to show that this opposition to
our institutions on the part of Germans, is not
local, or the result of local causes, but is i'm
ported with the embryo citizen and future mis-
chief-makers from the old world.
A German Card.-We find published in the
Albany Evening Journal notorious Aboli-
ton sheet-a card signed by number of Ger
mans in which they make the following decla.
ration in behalf Of themselves and their breth-
rem.
Just as wepredicted; The GUmans and Abo.
EtionlSts fusing together at the North to make
war upon the South and Southern institutions
Is it not time for Southern men to open theil
eyes little to the dangers of Foreignism?
"The German citizens of Albany are oppo
sed to Slavery, and will prove their faith by
their votes on the 9Th of November. Repub
canism is the doctrine of Truth, Equality ant
Justice; while Slavery and Slave Labor is hos
tile 10 every true idea Of Free Republic.

in an offhand sermon gives the following strik
ing portrait of Senator Seward:
