fS" A Gcrsan weekly, published at Baltimore, named The Lea Stern Guiding Star, casts an ominous light into the camp of Democracy. It says:
 You the managers of that party, drive or lead the Germans to the polls like cattle and when they have voted, you treat them with contempt If there isny benefit to be bestowed it is given to the Irish Catholics who govern you, and whom you are afraid of. The election is approaching Heretofore you have had the Germans in body, but you will have them no longer The Protestant and free-thinking Germans with you no longer, neither here in Baltimore, nor, elsewhere. The northern and west tern German papers, nearly all of them, have left the so-called Democratic party We have not much money, hut we have many friends, and, as far our energies and influence go, determined if pos sble, to insure the defeat of the falsely so-called Democratic party in the coming contest
