An Impudent Declaration.

If any native American, of whatever party
can read the following impudent declaration
Of a Detroit German paper, without having
his blood heated, without indignation and re-
sentiment, then may WI despair OF America
ever being governed by Americans. If party
fealty, love of power, love Of spoils-if any
consideration, indeed, can make native Amer
leans blind to the danger of foreign influence
and fail to arouse them to resistance. with
such a declaration as this. from a foreign
journal, then are the days of this free Repub-
lie numbered:
In Detroit, there is a Democratic German
paper called The Michigan Volksbiatt,n of
which a Mr.. Essellen is editor. In speaking
OF the course his paper intends to pursue, this
Apostle Of Dutch Democracy promises to war
upon Nativeism, Professionalism and Temper
ance! And speaking OF slavery, he says:
I'm order to define at once our course with
all decisions, we declare that. as a general
thing, we consider this slavery question as
the turning point to all American politics. and
that especially Tor us Germans. We recognize
it as our highest duty to resist slavery and its
political power, with all means of our COM
mand. This we are hidden TO do. not only
for humanity which opposes every barbarism
and oppression, not only by the eternal, I'M
speakable right of man. by the strength OF
winch We claim our own liberty, not only by
our honor, which demands that, here in Anne
RIGA, We should show ourselves worthy of the
civilization of our old home but orr interest
of the i'm migrated citizen and free labor,
which will not allow slavery to be extended
over tai. wide territory of the West.n-UI-
kimson Wing.

French wheat buyers, as was noticed some
time ago, are making large purchases at Chi
cago and other western places. One of them
has paid out, through the Marine Bank Of
Chicago, over 81 200, 900, and he is still, in
the market. It is doubtless owing to these
purchases that the high prices Of wheat are
