CHARLES ROESER.

~-We cheerfully give place in our
columns to the foregoing communication
of Mr.. RoEsEK, written in reply to an ar
ticle thoughtlessly inserted in our last is
sue, in spirit of mischief perhaps, but not
Of malice
We are publishing paper for the pur-
pose of advocating and defending the
prin ciples Of the great Democratic party;
and it our intentionlp deal with all ques-
tons openly and fairly, and to descend to
no mean personalities, for the purpose of
producing personal i'll feeling between
others, though those others are our poIti-
cal opponents; and we regret if the publ
cation Of the squib Of last week should
have had any influence to produce unkind
sentiments between Mr.. RoEsER and Mr..
EssLINGER, and we will confess that our
authority for the statement contained in
that article, was as Mr.. RoEsER says "mere
gossip"
We have known Mr. RoEsER personally,
and as politician for several years before
he came to Manitowoc, and have always
considered him a consistent and able
champion Of his political principals; one
who has adopted his opinions from con
viction, and defend them with holiness and
dignity. With such au opponent, we are
glad to enter into discussion of the great
questions which divide our respective par
ties, and will endeavor upon our part as
we believe he will upon his, to conduct
the contest with the courtesy of gentle
man, and in a spirit of fairness devoid Of
personality.

length, but the majority taking ground
against it, the project was defeated, and a
resolution adopted simply requiring mac
ccSsiblc Banks to redeem their currency in
Milwaukee, at such rates as the Directors
Of the Association may prescribe.

all energy for the whole Republican ticket.
But JACK NOBODY STONE was so much op-
posed to the fair nomination of Republican
Germans, that he not only bolted the Re-
publican German nominees, but in order
to ensure their defeat, took pains to set
up the names Of American Democrats as
independent candidates. All the German
Republicans of this Town know very well,

The Milwaukee Ne,cs gives the follow

ublican candidate for State Treasurer.
should not be reelected
I" Its proven, and admitted, even by the
Free Democrat that he has received bank
bills at discount of three per cent from
persons who were obliged to pay money
into the Treasury. Now, if he has no au,
thority to receive bills at par, has he any
for receiving them at discount? We
presume that neither he nor his friends
will deny that he is acting in his official
capacity, and receives these bills for the
state, in either case. Again, we would
like to know whether he pays them out at
par or not? If he does pay them out at
par, who gets the benefit of the discount
We do not believe in re electing any man
to the office Of State Treasurer One term
is long enough for any man to hold that
office without final and complete settle
ment. Still, we hope that Mr.. Hastings or
some Of his friends will clear up the points
which we have suggested, for the benefit
Of some who do not favor rotation as strong
ly as we do"

the great influence of Gen
mans In the Northwest

There are two principles upon which
more particularly, the foundations Of tie
Republican party were built; namely, rquai
rights ard anHoiarry.
TIE German Republicans Of all the
states h"'d truly to these principles. and
will surely stand by them in future: be
cause man does not change principles like
clothes But we cannot say that the Am
erican Republican maintains such truth to
principles, as DO the German Republicans.
We refer to the fusion suggestions off, some
of the Republican papers, particularly Of
the New York Tribune; and we refer 10
the l2th resolution of the Syracuse convcn-
ton, and to the Republican prescription
OF foreign born citizens in Massachuset 5
At present, we point to the mine by which
the principle Of equal rights WAS blown up
BY
TnE defeat OF CARL SHURz IN WISCONSIN,
as a Republican candidate for Governor at
the State Convention on the 3lst of August
inst.
The Americans and their press have alb
soluteiy Acknowledged the distinguished
capacities OF that man; they have conce-
ded him equal to the American candidate
under all circumstances.
The political necessity for the nomna-
ton Of Carl SAurz for Governor, was clear
IL shown by the press, and even at the State
Convention for it was shown TO the Amer
leans, that after the proceedings in New
York and Massachusetts, the faith Of the
German element in the truth Of the Re
publican party i much shaken that fur
Their, the Democratic party attached the
great masses of the foreign born citizens 10
her ranks, only by charging the Republi-
cans with being a Know Nothing party !;
hut the nomination Of Carl Shurz would be
the most glorious REPUTATION of the accusa-
ton Of Know Nothingi>m, and by that act
the principle Of equat rights would be rails

Chas. Roeser's Sentiments on the
Nomination of Randall.

The following was translated for Us from
CHAs. RoEsER's leader, put forth 10y him in
his paper (the Wisconsin Deaeocrut,') of
the fifth inst; and we commend it to the
careful perusal Of such of our Republican
readers as labor under the erroneous i'm
preston that the present position taken by
the German Republicans of this State to-
wards the State Ticket of their party, ari-
ses from an ebulition of personal prejudice
towards Gov. RANDALL, or from di8appoin
ted ambition upon the part of their leaders
There is evidently a settled conviction in
the minds Of that wing of the party, that
however liberal the Republican party of
this State may be in profession, or howey-
er free from the faint Of proscriptive sent
iments majority of the votcrs Of that par
ty may be, yet among the leaders of the
organization, those who manage It's con
ventions, and select its candidates, there is
strong sympathy with tie spirit that sug-
gestel and carried through the iuiquity
known as the Massachusetts Amend
mcntn
Between the American leaders Of the Re
publican party, and the masses Of the 70
tiers, there is wide difference. The first
are crafty, selfish, and aspiring ready 70
profess anything and everything for the
purpose offurthering their own selfish ends,
striving more for place and power than
the advancement Of principles; while the
latter are generally honest in-what IRE
deem-their mistaken views Of public
questions.
But among the German Republicans,
there is a strong sympathy between the
leaders and the masses-a fraternity of
feeling, of sentiment, and of opinion, upon
political matters, not to be found in the
other wing Of the party. Thus tie prom
inent German Republicans are more the
representatives Of public sentiment, than
mere leaders of faction, and viewed in its
true light, this article from the pen of
CHARLES RoEsER appears as the expressed
opinion of large class of voters, and not
the mere declaration Of an individual

The Dublin Evening Post states that
the Irish harvest, in which considerable
progress has already been made will be
one of the earliest ever known; and taken
altogether, the yield and quality will be
more satisfactory than was expected two
or three weeks since. The reports from
most parts of the country describe the
wheat as a very fair crop, as yet free from
injury, generally thick on the ground with
a full heavy ear Oats have been much
complained Of and that crop is generally
short in the straw, but the head is pretty
strong; and although the yield will, in
some places, fall much below an average, the
total produce is not likely to be very seri-
ously deficient. Of barley, the reports are
various and conflicting, and it is difficult
to arrive at a correct estimate. In Car
low, for example, some fine fields of barley
have been secured. In Wexford, famous
barley growing district, the crop varies
much in character, and some portions is
inferior, while in other counties the same
description applies, the crop being some
times light and thin on the ground. All
the accounts hitherto, Of the potato, have
been quite encouraging, reporting the crop
as abundant, very fine in quality, and free
from disease, although the roots to a CON
siderable extent, were small.

the Republican party, and insured the cleo
ton of Republican President in 1860 by
the votes of the North Western states
In regard to the welfare and prosperity
of our state, it was shown that the nomi
nation and election of Carl Shurz, whose
name is well and favorably known in Ger
many, would have a powerful influence to
lead the German immigration to Wiscon-
sin as the state Of equal rights.
All these arguments, and others which
we shall not at this time discuss, founded
on the American prejudice against for
eigner, whom they-the Americans
would never allow at the head of the state.
What We report here, is no illusion; for
we ourself. were a member Of the Repub-
lean State Convention in Madison on the
31st Of August inst.
This convention, consisted of 191 men,
bers Of whom only 81 were Germans.
Of these 191 members, Mr.. Shurz recei-
we'd at the first formal ballet Is votes and
these were composed Of IS Americans, IS
Germans, and 2 other foreigners. The
above % Americans belonged principally
to the radical, free-soil faction.
The opponent Of Mr.. Shurz, the pres
ent Governor, Alex. W Randall, around
whom Americanism rallied even as though
It defended an American fortress against
the assaults Of foreign soldiers, was at once
nominated by The first formal ballot with
lis votes.
The exultation Of the Americans was like
a Vesuvius Of fanaticism at the nomination
Of the American Randall, against the for
eign- born c. Shurz.
We know too well, that Know n othing-
ism was very numerously represented in
the conventions; that Mr.. Randall travelled
through tie state during three months, and
appealed to Americanisn to support him
against the fvreign-bor candidate that
even the notorious Jenny Lind (Know-
Nothing) club in Milwaukee, to whom Mr.
Randall belonged, tried by all means to
elect the ill.faned, Know Nothing Lock
wood as a delegate for Randall.
We can not deny, that the impression
of the defeat of Carl Shurz is considered

Mr.. PILoT:

In your last issue, there is an article
about Mr.. EssIINGER's wishes and qualifi-
cations for position on the Republican
ticket. Perhaps some old women have
been gossiping together and prattled that
Mr. EssLINGER, on account of my state
ment, that Mr. EssLINGER was unfit for
such a position because he could not
write" had failed to get nomination.
Now Mr.. Pilot, l am astonished that
you ask me if that is SO? l think it is pro-
per to keep such stupid gossiping far from
the Press. l have always had favorable
opinion of Mr. EssLINGER, and have only
to state that when Mr.. G. Schurz was bad
ly defeated as candidate for Governor in
the Republican State Convention, ard when
he was thereafter nominated as Lieut.
Governor, al German delegates from sew
eral parts of the State, and a portion Of
Americans insisted upon lis decIining,aud
also refused to support any other German
candidate for any other office. They would
not allow Mr.. ScHURz, or any other Ger
man candidate, to be used as a Lait for

We went in for Carl Shurz with the
greatest zeal, because we wished him to rep
resent the injured principle ofequal rights,
and according to our conviction, the well
fare Of the party depended on his nomina
ton.
At any other time, earier, or later, it
might not have made SO much difference
who was nominated but at the present
time, it was peculiarly appropriate that
Carl Shurz should be the candidate, for we
wonld have gained by his election thous-
ands and thou sands of foreign born citi-
zens, in favor of The election Of a Republic
can President in 1860.
Mr. Shurz did not become candidate
through the promptiDgs of his own anbi-
ton; no, prominent Americans, and many
of the American press, first urged him to
become a candidate for nomination.

on Randall and Shurz, and to drop that can

in minority, but they wanted to prevent
