TIE GERMAN VorE.--A correspondent
Of the Rock Island Advertiser reminds the
pro.slavery sheets on that side of the river
Of the gross and doubtless wilful misstate-
ments which they made, previous TO the
election, in regard to The German vote in
this city. The misstatemeuts were slso
doubtless made with view 10 their effect
upon the German voters Of Rock Island --
Ofcourse the reaction of such faIsities will
be favorable TO the cause Of freedom, and
we cannot believe it possible that the Ger
man voters Of State which can boast such
citizens as Hoffman. KRrneF and Hecker,
will do otherwise than support the princi.
pies so ably defended by such wrI,tried
patriots.
AS for the German Republicans in this
township and county, we take pleasure in
acknowledging that tit is 10 them the Repub-
lican cause is indebted for its triumph, 1t
was, to be sure, as much their business and
duty to defend the cause Of repubicanism
and true democracy as ours, and they would
scorn to receive supcrauous praise for hav-
ing performed their duty as good citizens of
the Republic. But they do deserve praise,
even more than other old line Democrats
who are now on the side Of ireedom,-in
that they nobly triumphed over all the asso-
Citations which have heretofore bound them
TO the word Democracy They have TO-
tally discarded the bogus article, and are
now supporting. what they always intended
to support,--those principles of republican
ISM which were proclaimed and advocated
by jefferson and Madison.
