POLITICS OF THE GERMAN-AMERICANp PRESS.

Within the last five years, the character of the
German Press of this country has been eleva-
ted in very high degree. The persecut ons of
the reactionary party, following the Revolution
of l84S, exiled from Germany many of the
most learned writer's and original thinkers of
that country, most of whom found refuge in
the United States, where, quietly settling
throughout the country, they betook themselves
to various industrial occupations, many cf them
at complete variance with those they formerly
pursued. The character of the German popu-
lation of the States, improved by these acces-
sions, demanded more respectable anGi better
conducted class of German newspapers than
was before known here; and, as demand
generally occasions a supply, it was not long be.
fore new journals were established, and the old
established ones improved. The new ones. al.
most without exception, opposed Slavery. and
when the Republican Party was organize ar

Here is an emigration involving considerable
journeys, and not controlled by the considera-
ton OF immediate proximity. 1t is an emigra-
ton to States very similar in local position and
physical characteristics. Such differences as
do exist, however, in climate and productions,
would incline the Southern emigrant to Mis-
souri,. Yet we find three flths of these emf
grants placing themselves voluntarily under
the operation of the Ordinance of 1887. 1t is
far inference, and II is true, that the real wishes
as well as real interests of majority of the
whites OF the South are in opposition to the ex-
tension OF Slavery; but 1t is only the minority
OF shareholders, which Is represented in Con-
gress, or which has otherwise any political
weight IN the country.
1t is UNREASONABLE that the Enumeration
from the South has brought into the free States
more ignorance, poverty and thriftlessness, than
an equal amount Of the immigration from Eu-
rope. Where 1t forms marked feature of the
population, as In Southern Illinois, long time
must elapse before it is brought up to the gen
eral standard OF intelligence and enterprise in
uhe Tree States. This remark is made in no
spirit OF unkindness. The whites of the South
are nearly all OF the Revolutionary stock They
are fine, manly race. Their valor. attested
upon hundred battle-felds, shone untarnished
and still respondent in the last conflict of the

gallantry OF the sons of South Carolina. | feel

recapture their fugitive whites.
