w Ananonymous scribbler recently address.
ed three column letter in the Staatszeitung to
Frederick Hecker, insinuasing that the latter was
too inexperienced in American politics to form
a correct opinion Of the position and tendencies
of the varions parties, and consequently was not
the proper man to advise his fellow-citizens to
which party to attach themselves; carping at
some remarks of Hecker's in letter addressed
by him to Mr.. Esselen and finally warning him
Of the dangers threatening the, Germans from
the influence of Known Nothing and temperance
prescription and other fanaticisms, which he
charged upon the Republicans. In Saturday 8
Abendzeitung the German patriot publishes q
pungent reply to his letter. He says his interro-
gator has perfect right to go with the Black
Barons of the South for Buchanan and Brecken-
ridge, but that he is "for Fremont and Dayton,
unawed by Nothingism, Prohibition, and
all the other terrors of the Boo-hoo's, which are
only fit to frighten German children Hecker
thinks the anonymous writer, who finds SO much
to applaudin negro slavery and its consequences,
should emigrate to Lawrence, Nebraska bill be-
fore him, Nebraska bill behind him, and the lat
est Kansas bill on his heart" 5

Vi eB We suggest that few of the leaders
among the Buchaniers who have exhibited un-
mistakable signs of hydrophobia since the cleo

lusses procured for them. Something should at
once be done. Sedatives, administered every
hour, would mitigate their intolerabe suferings,
preserve the peace of our town, and prevent
much profanity. The bedlamite of the Gazette
is, however, beyond even the skill of DR.. Mar

We were somewhat unfortunate in failing
to have a speech on Saturday evening last from
Hon, O. II. BROWNING, Of Quincy. He came,
but owing TO bad cold and to his severe labors
elsewhere in the Republican cause upon the
stump, he was utterly unable to make himself
heard. !. But he told us he would come AGAIN.
That he would, at no distant day, address the
citizens of Des Moines county upon political
topics-not only once, but repeatedly. Mr..
Browning is one of the abless and most popular
speakers in the Northwest who has espoused the
Republican cause. We rejoice at his ability,
but more at his willingness and heartiness in the
work. s 9Ea rs s
When Ope My Lips, Let NO Dog Bark.
That's what the Mayor of New York said on
the 25th of last month, and for not keeping
their tongues between their teeth, two thousand
one hundred and sixty whelps and ours of low
degree have since that day paid the penalty oi
their lives. Whether sausages have multiplied
in that market as dogs have disappeared, we
know not. ltis well enough fol. market goers
to look into that matter, for there is kind oi
sausage which has been observed to be plenty
when dogs we're scarce.
This dog slaughter has cost one thousand and
eighty dollars. The detail of this mammoth
aoggery is thus given by the New York CONNER.

at one corner, and q continuous range of sheds
inside. Dogs of all sizes, shapes, and breeds
the most of them yelping hideously, are tied il
long line to stakes beneath these sheds.
The system OF killing now pursued, we are
| told, is an improvement ON the old method. Thu
dogs are now drowned in a wooden tank about
| ten feet square. The dogs are put in while tht
tank is dry-a rack fastened within foot of ths
top is shut down when the tank is full Of dogs
and keeps them beneath the surface of the wat

that the slaughter goes on systematically.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH


I Herewith you will find the appeal of your
friends in Kansas, together with letter accred-
iting me as the agent to solicit your aid in main
tanning that indispensable 5yeaknater to the angry
| tide of Abotition. Want of time farbids me
calling on many of you personally. Read that
address thoughtfully; consider that if Kansas,
our natural boundary to the Northwest, is lost
that then Missouri and all west of the Mississip-
pi, nay, East of it, must soon follow, while, if we
maintain it, the Territories seest of alabama and
Texas are safe to us,-nay, the future is safe
Ask yourselves whether you are prepared to
surrender white supremacy in the South, to de-
! base your blood, to degrade yoar social and po.
htical status to the level of an inferior race by
submitting to Abolitons mandate to fraternize
| with it, 1t@s " SO fe~< ''-
| Remember, that !, and all who know the
country will tell you that Slares a.rire and do

everything to encourage US in the struggle-ne

immigration is daily increasing, while that from
1 the North has greatly diminished In Illinois,
as if in disgust they have lately applied to cleo
tioneering purposes the funds they had raised for
| emigrants. Remember, that, instead of endan-
gering the Union, our winning Kansas makes it
permanent by enabling us to defend our rights
in it, and by diseomfting and breaking doarn tic
dgitdtors Think of the magnitude OF the ques-
tons at issue think of the imminence of the
peril, and you viii not need personal solicitation,
but each one, of his own volition, will send his
Econtribution according to his means. Those
who cannot alone send their hundreds or thous-
ands, cen unite with fifty or an hundred others
and do so. Where theresa win there's way.

dorsed to our Chairman, the Hon. ID. r. Atehi-

the original or the duplicate to our treasurer
