German Republican Meeting.

Irvine's large hall, corner of st. Anthony
and Eagle streets, was we'll filled on Satur-
day night, by an audience of our citizens of
German birth, to hear SAM'L LUDvIGH, Esq,
editor of the German Republican paper in
the city Of Baltimore, deliver an address upon
the political questions Of the day. Mr.. L.
made telling speech, judging from the
many times he was interrupted by the ap-
plause OF his hearers. He comes staight from
one of the hot beds of of slavery, and knows
precisely how to talk about the cursed insti-
tuition from experience. We are glad to
learn he will speak elsewhere in the Terri
tory.

Gov. German and his KnoVy-NOthing
Democratic Friend at Minneapolis.

Gov. German and his Knou-Nothing
Democratic Friend at Minneapolis.
The Republican Of last week gives lively
account of Gov. GoRMAN's contest with a
certain Democatic Know Nothing at Mime
apols, from which We make the following ex-
tract. The Ex-Governor, it will be recol-
lected, was addressing Democratic" meet
lug when the fare-up took place. The Re
publican says:
After expatiating for an hour over Squat
ter Soveignty, Kansas, the Constitutional
Convention, Emanci patton, the Sub-Treasu-
ry system, Nggcrs and the "Glorious De-
mocracy"--he ulned his distinguished atten-
ton to his Irish fellow citizens whom he
soped most numerically, getting down on
the knees of his soul before his S.ibberdeen
constituents, and plastcring them over from
scull to boot-hecls with enough fawning al
uiauon, and begging sycophancy, to make an
American citizen blush The intclliSent for
eigners themselves received it with con-
tempt for they knew it was trap sprung to
catch their votes.
This seryile be-honeying of Erin at the ex-
pcnse Of the little peninsula of North Amer
lea ''riz tie dander'' of one of the H;ndoo
patriots, Mr.. Charles Hoag, Who came to the
rescue Of Fillmore. Said he vas a Know
Nothing, and Worldn't stand it 10 hear Amer
leans abused. Sensation all around) Be-
lieved an American was as good aS an Irish
man ii lie behaved himself as well, but he
could not sit still! and hear Americans insult

(Chcers and hisses.)
The Governor rebuked the Know Nothing
and his Know Nothingism sharply, and after
replying to him at length, and giving his
NIilcsian friends over the left another hug,
be noticed the humble pregence of the Edi-
tor of The Republican in the room, and cal
ling us out as the Editor of "I'he TImes," he
referred to us Mr.. Hoag and his boiling over
"Amercanism." We rose and declined to
have tilt with Mr.. H., on the ground that
we did not wish to meddlein a family quarrel
stating, at the same time, that Mr.. Hoag
claimed to be Democrat, that he had voted
and acted with the party, that we believed
nc had inst been elected by the Unterifiel to
present the Minneapolis faction in the State
Democratic Convention next week, to nomi-
nate State officers and Congressman, and
Governor German being hopeful candidate
for Congressional hOnors, we feared that, by
our comforting with the Democratic Know
Nothing, we might convert him to Republi-
canisrn, and the Governor would lose his
vote.
The Governor replied contemptuously
that he "didn't want, the vote of Know
Nothing. MIR. Hoag "pitched in" again, in
sisting that the Governor was bogus
Democrat and that he himself was good
Democrat and a Know Nothing. The 'wal
OF words" grew warmer and warmer until
the room was boisterous with storm Of
cheers and Kisses, stampings shouts, ques
tions, hootings aud yells, that gave it the ap
pearance of a pandemonium, and the harmo
nious, loving, urothcrly Know Nothing Dem
ocratic meeting broke up in a huff Their

for the purpose of nominating officers under
your new Constituton-and desire through
you to express my grateful acknowledgement
Of the honor conferred, and my sincere re-
grct that it is not in my power to- comply
with that request.
Will you be good enough to assure that
Convention, that the Republicans of Michi-

liest sympathy the efforts of their brother
Republicans in Minnesota in the organization
of their new and promising State, to give
prominence to the cardinal principle Of the
Republican Platform, that Stavery is sec

assured that the honest and intelligent yeo-
manry who have settled in your Territory, to
acquire livelihood by the cultivation of your
rich, broad prairies, fully appreciate the dig
nifty Of free labor, and that they will express
upon every proper occasion their thorough
rcprobation of the measures of the late and
of the present National Administrations, Civ
ing aid and assistance to those who have
meditated the enslavement of Kansas, and
who have prosecuted with barbarous cruelty
those who have desired to protect that land
against the blight and curse of human bond
age, and secure it as the home for free 1abo,
and free men.
Let me invoke then for your deliberations
such harmonious and judicious action as will
secure, upon your admission into the great
Republican family of States, the complete
ascendancy Of Republican principles at home
Thanking you, gentlemen, for the very fiat
tering manner with which you have conveyed
