EDIToRs REGISTER: A friend has sent
US the following, clipped from the DsytOh
Empire. It is communication, purpert-
ing to come from "a German" to that pa
per, which denounees the liberal Germans
and their press, in . most obscene aud
mean manner. But your readers may judge
for themselves, and discover the spirit Of
this indirect and shOrt-sighted writing p
"0ur Black Republican papers N this
city hatter themselves with the snnounce-
ment that the most Of the German leading
papers in this country have put up their flags
for the nominee Of the Pliladelphia Con-
yention. This is spoken Of with much con-
fdence and requires therefore, to be cor
rected. The most of these papers on which
our opponents 50 much rely, are, to tell the
truth, Of the second rate and lower order.
But few are known and read any farther than
at the place where they are printed and
even the readers Of them viii prove, at the
proper time, that they are not and never will
be blind followers Of the sentiments and
issues of the writers. Nor IS it to be feared
that any of these editors who disgrace the
whole German press, have that influence
which they imagine to have and this for
different reasons. Take these papers and
examine the men who issue them. Some
of them hapen not to be citizens; some have
not even made known their intention to be-
como such, and not one Of them oil ever
was known in Germany out Of their native
village. None of them were known and a
very few were hardly known by name in
the struggle of ls48. Even their political
character in the past is not heard of earlier
than they began to scribble for their illus
trious lives in this country. These are facts
known 70 the whole German population Of
the United States. A big noise does NOE
make big man. Certain it IS that those
who are citizens of the United States, and
care for politics, are able to read the Eng
lish language, and no German paper will
be a guide for them in political matters
1t IS more an act Of charity and homely
feeling to read and to subscribe for a Ger
man paper.
Take for instance tho Cincinnati Hoeh-
Dqechter, whose editor makes the biggest
noise and whose supporters are spread over
the whole Union. His readers are not par
tizians of his politics. He is known as an
infdel and anti-ehristian. 1t is merely for
his wit and fun that his paper is taken, and
the plurality Of its readers take the writer
for clown.
Or take the Cincinnati TiTnzeitatag, q
paper for the Turner's Society, alike spread
over the whole Union. The members Of
this society are bound by the constitution Of
their association to be subscribers Of this pa
per. 1t has now turned to Black Repub-
licat organ against the will Of the majority,
who are in favor of this change. The larg
est part of it in the State of New York has
separated. The most of the members in
this city who are Untitled to a vote have
Joined the keystone Club, and viii support
our candidate. Further be it remembered
that the majority of the German Turner'S
are under age and without the right to vote.
The same is the case with the other pa
pers on which the hopes of our opponents
rest. They viii be disappointed. The
Germans know that these Black Republi
cans sympathise and have combined with
the midnight order te shut the country up
against those enterprising Germans who
desire to come over, and they expect anoth-
er revolution there for their own benefit
But Germany is sick of these heroes.
Such are Dutch Know Nothings in the
opinion of all who know something of their
doings. But the. German people know one
thing, and that is, that The Republicans
have millions for the Niggers, but nothing
for the Dutch A GERMAN"
As this wise writer signs himself Ger
man l would like to know his name,-his
anonymous character being covered by so
honest designation. do notIke to deal
with wind-mills. I hope you viii not be-
lieve that such utter slavocratic and denOerG-
TIC writer's are the representatives Of my
countymeu. On the contrary they stand
alone, like an empty cistern in the desert,
while the sensible and thinking part Of the
Germans will vote next Fall not for tho
successor of Mr.. Pierce, but for the Repub-
lican ticket. They have discovered that
their face would not look very bright if
they cut their own nose out of it.
Yours truly, H. RUESS,
Editor Intslz;genz Blatt.
