THE MASSACHUSETTS MISUNDERSTANDING the pas
sage oithe Massachusetts amendments onthe 9th inst
the German press throughout the country is full of
speculation as to what is to be done next The Anze
ger des Westens(St Louis )presumes that the amend
ments are not so much directed against the Ger
mans in Massachusetts as against the Irish Roman
Catholics. The Demokrat denies the supposition of
the Amzeiger, and says that there exists on account
OF their supposed skepticiSm and 'Red Republican"
tendencies, an animosity against the Germans in
the Eastern States and quotes The Milford Journal
and correspondence of The Express to prove it,
The Know Nothing papers, it remarks are full of
ridicue against Carl Schurz for his audacious at
tempt TO teach the intelligent people of Massachu-
sets as to their duties The Soekcachfer (Cincin-
nati) endeayors to unite the Germans of all States
and proposes that they insist at the Republican
State Convention on the passage of resolutions to
the following effect:
l. That the acts of the Massachusetts, Legislature
and Electors be condemned unconstitutional, and
= That Massachusetts delegates be excluded
from the Republican National Convention If the
massachusetts delegates not excluded, the Ger
mans and all liberal men should hold 4 convention
to decide any further measures.
The Demokrdt insists that in case the National
Republican Convention refuses to condemn the
Massachusetts, acts, the German Republicans must
break oil from the Republican party entirely.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, May 2O.-I took run in the
country yesterday, and returned highly eated with
what saw and the information received from our
farmers. never saw such crops in this country at
this season of the year, meet the eve at every
mile you travel over our rich and beautiful prai-
ries. Thousands and tens of thousands of acres
may be covered with the deep green wheat
while men, women and children working for
very life, determined to make every acre tell this
year. This prospect, with reasonable certainty
of good prices, makes everybody cheerful and in
dustrious. If the result of the present growing
crops shall prove equal to present appearances the
Western States will raise produce enough this year
to pay all their debts and prove to the croakers of
the East, that after all the West and her resources
can add something to the trade and prosperity of
the country.

about young woman who fell in love with a
young man, and went crazy because she could not
marry him, and died just when she could. Madame
Guerrabela sang in four five pieces and satisfied
her audience that she is handsome, that she has an

husbands sickness and death, therefore forbid his
harboring any other boy in my stead.
