Bully German in saltwater.

Willis O'Gorman howled in this city on
Saturday evening. He commenced with a
pretty large crowd, but by the time lie got
through most of the crowd like the old speck-
led hen he told about, (making himself the
hero of story older than himselC) 'spread
itself" to their various homes. We were dis
appointed in Governor German We had
expected to find in him an accomplished de-
magOgue, but he does not even amount to
that. lie presumcs too much ignorance of
his hearers-he makes his stories and his so
phisms and falsehOods too large too glaring
to make successful demagogue-the most ig-
norant of his audience are compelled at once
to set himself down an ass, aud consequent
ly he destroys whatever influence be might
otherwise exert.
His sOphisms and falsehOods were so con-
ternptible in conception, and so gIaring in
magnitude, it is needless for us to here spend
the time and trouble to expose them. For
instance-when he attempted to make his
hearers believe that If the Democratic par
ty were successful they would relieve the
present financial emba1rdssments, and would
reduce the price of the public lands to 81
cents per acre, every man set him down as
bogus jackass-the thing was 60 absurd it ut
terly failed to produce the deception designed.
We really expected to hear the Governor
claiming the credit of saving the universe
from eternal crash, by averting the course Of
the tail of the comet and we attribute to
his oversight or forgetfulness in the many alb
surdities he promulgated that he did not
charge upon the universal Republican party
the paternity of Mrs. Cunningham's bogus
baby Such things would have been in keep
ing with all he did say. Republicanism has
nothing to fear from such speeches from Gov.
Gorman-we hope he will continne on the
stump-Stillwater Messenger.

MIR. Beecher Oh the Financial Crisis.

For an hour before the doors of the Ply
mouth Church were opened last evening an
immense throng had collected eager to hear
the continuation of discourse on the finan.
cial crisis which Henry Ward Beecher had
commenced in the morning. Long before
the services commenced, every available inch
of space was occupied, while thousands had
to leave the church because they could not
enter it. Mr.. Beechers text was in the
three first verses of the 18th chapter Of
Matthew. He said that although the course
of affairs had not been disturbed, disease was
not cOnvulsed, simply because man lacked
confidence in his fellow. Although there
had been indiscretiOns, yet the country could
stand under their force. Selfish mistakes
could never damage it seriously. The bust
ness stood on the same basis as it did five
months ago, and was carried on by the same
agents, and if the confidence which prevailed
at that time was renewed, New York would
not see one more week of such disastrous
days as it had seen. There was cause for fear
however, in the lack of moral integrity and
in the extravaganza and proAgacy which
prevailed in the business world. The rail-
roads-thc greatest enterprises of the coun-
try-permitted their Boards of Direction to
conduct affairs in the most unscrupuluous
manner, and in their corporate capacity they
performed acts which would, if done by an
individual, be criminal. Indeed, 1T would
soon come to pass that the name of an officer
of 'RailrOad Company would be synony-
nous with 'scaundrel." The Stock sales as
conducted in Wall street, he characterized as
gambling, just as much as sitting at faro
table. or playing loaded dice, and the man that
was gambler was thief This vice was
prevalent among all classes of the community.
Even ministers sometimes dabbled in fancy
stocks. Mr.. Beecher then urged upon his
congregation the duty of opposing these vi
ces. They were not to sit listlessly and say
they were effected by their existence. They
were sorry they had to support by taxation
the administration of justice and the crimi-
nails that these vices made.-.N. Y. Tribune.

Democratic Nominations! The Know
Nothings in the Field.
A few of the Apostate Democracy of the
St. Anthony District got together on Satur-
day evening, and nominated their State tick
ct. Here it is:
For Senator-David Edwards.
For House Of representatives.. S. DEM
mon, Henry Reynolds. -,...- -...
Of this trio, the last two may receive our
attentions at some future time. Of the first.
we only wish to direct the attention of for
eigners to the fact that, during the last Pres
idential campaign, Mr.. Edwards Haunted a
mammoth Know Nothing flag from his Sec
ond story window, waving over Main street,
emblazoned in big letters with FILLMORE
AND DONELSCN /! !" the uindoo candidate
for the Presidency, and embellished with
flaming pictures exultant in their recent hate
full victories over creed and cline Hail
Columbia what glorious champion for
suffragcs Of the Great Unwashed! Mucp;ns
says .'things is mixed" We agree with
Muggins. We knew that Fillmore was
about marrying a French lady, but didn't
think it would come to this-a fusion be-
tween the HindoOs and the Hibernians of St.
trying to elect proscriptive Know Nothing
to office! Our Fillmore friend, Mr.. Hoar. in
Minneapolis, insists that twO-thirds of Mr..
Buchanan's appointees to office are Know
Nothings lis it also true that two-thirds of
the candidates of the Democratic party in
Minnesota are to be Know Nothings? OF
Mr.. Edwards private character we do not
speak; We are referring3to him now in a pub
lc Vuho rs-1
ton and our Democratic Germans if they in
tend to elect to the Legislature man who is
in favor of all foreigners living here 81 years
before they vote at all man who will
hatch s'native American" chickens in his of.
fetal nest, and grope his way down the
crooked avenues Of duty by the aid of DARK
lantern Now, we don't expect this cues
ton to make q single adopted citizen bulge.
Not a particle. We expect they will shut
their eyes and take the unwelcome dose at a
single gulp, as they always do; vote the
"clean (?) ticket" Know Nothings and all -!
But we may be mistaken. The foreigners
may begin to understand that the pretended
love of the Democracy for them Is mere blar-
ney, that all the party's affection may be
written on very little slip of paper and
that its leadears are as ready as ANYBODY to
kick them after election. Now, the Democ-
racy hates niggers, because niggers can't vote;
but just invest the niggers aforesaid with the
dignity of ballot, and the virtuous Democ-
racy aforesaid, whose nasal organs are now so
sensitive, would embrace the sable electors in
fraternal hug, praise their virtue, intelligence
and patriotism, eat with them from the same
table, drink with them from the same black
bottle, and sleep with them in the same gut
ter after they had finished troubling in the
votes!" Who doubts it
But the question is now, will the foreigners
who hate tho Know Nothings, vote for Ed
wards, the Know Nothing who hates the for
cigners We pause for reply.

In Mr. Gorman's Saturday evening bar
rangue, among hundred other false and sill
ly things, he quoted portion of the Kansas
Nebraska bill, to- show that his party was not
in favor of establishing slavery in Kansas
He said that the principle of that bill was
"to neither lcgislate slavery into Territory
nor out of it, but to leave the people free to
form their own institutions"
This is nothing more less than brazen
faced humbug-a shameless lie. If the peo-
pie of Kansus are left free to act their pleas
urc in this matter, why is it that President
Buchanan, at this hour, has 500 United
States soldiers in Kansas, supported by the
Treasury of the entire country, to assist "the
people to form their own Institutions"
President Buchanan, in his late Siliman
letter says: slavery still exists in Kansas,
under the Constitution of the United States"
that it was carried there "by the common
Constitution" What humbug, then, to talk
about legislating into territory where it al
ready exists under protection and by virtue
of the "common Constitution"
The real doctrine held by German and
Sibley, and the entire party, is-That there
are no Free Territories-they are all Slave
Territories, to which the slave driver has a
right to carry his slaves 'by the Common
Constitution" and hold them there! That's
their doctrine President Buchanan says
"This point has at last been finally decided
(Dred Scott decision) by the highest tribunal
of our laws"
That is the Democratic doctrine-Slavery
is National, Freedom is sectional-thc Terri
tories shall no longer be open to the Free
Laborer, except in competition with slave
labor.
Free Men-you who build our cities, till
our soil, carry on our commerce, grade our
streets, and fell our pineries and manutac-
ture our lumber-are you willing to work
side by side with negro slaves, at about 40
cents per day? Ifso, support German, Sib-
ley, Holcombe and the whole pro-slavery
crew. That is just where their doctrines
will lead you-the end is incvitable.-&iH.
scater Messenger.

A MODEL MAYoR.@Sometimes it

A MODEL MAYoR.-Sometimes it is the
misfortune to have an ass for Mayor Such
s.the case about twenty-five years ago with
certain city, which it would be impolitic,
not to say impolite, for US to name in this
connection. He was so ignorant that the
wags sent book -peddler to him with En-
glish grammars shortly after his election;
and when he declared he had no use for the
book, the peddler said, Every body tells
me you must have it, too" He came into
Office, and took his chair in stately dignity
In few minutes the clerk laid before him a
paper, which the Mayor was requested to en-
dorse as one that had passed under his eye
The clerk remarked:
at is only necessary that you write your
initials upon it." -..r
".My nisauls,' said the mayor, whats my
nishads?"
Now it so happened that was the first
letter of both the Mayors names, and the
clerk very innocently replied: -
"Oh, sir, merely write two P's upon the
back of this paper"
His honor, the Mayor took quill in his
trembling hand, and with the perspiration on
his brow, wrote, "Too pEzE,' and the docu-
ment is on file in the Office unto this day.

LAKE PHMoN.-Among the other beauti-
full places near our city, this Lake should not
be forgotten. No capital has been spent in
bringing it into notice, or identifying it, but
it contains in ITSELF and in the picturesque
scenery around it, enough to attract atten-
ton. 1t lies in beautiful position with high
banks, crowned with forests stretching away
from its pebbly marge, nearly the whole dis
lance around, anon changed by green and
rich meadow
The waters Of this Lake are remarkable for
their purity and transparency. They are fed
by clear Brook, of never failing current,
and the large fish, with which it abounds,
can be distinctly seen sporting many feet be-
low the surface.
A few residences surround the Lake, but
as yet the many fine building sites around it
are unoccupied. Mr.. w. S. Hall, H. lyle
hart, w. NJ. Stees, and others, have retiden-
ces near by, and g. R. Conway an unfinished
dwelling on the edge of the Lake.

A HEAVY Loss FOR NEWSPAPER EDITOR.

ure Of Persse & Brooks, paper manufacture
ers, says -
"This house owes James Gordon Bennett,
of the New York Herald, $4,000, they be-
ing his bankers, and have been for some time
past. Bennett bought recently country
seat for 100000, but instead of paying for
it in money, as he might, placed a second
mortgage on it, preferring to allow Persse &
Brooks to use his funds. This is hard On our
neighbor.
Bennett has earned his money by unremit-
ting labor, which, if not at all times such as
VIC could commend, he at least displayed
zeal and tact in his endeavors to success
