inc dr0us-onc which it felt-one under which |
it souirmed, and one from which it did not near
escape last night. Neither do we intend that it
shall escape. Having commenced to play the
tune it shall face the music. The point we
made was this: That paper on Saturday eve
ming last, fell to "cursing like very drab at
certain persons of Cleveland and elsewhere,
whom it styled "Greasers" and "nigger'dyed
Hottentots." Having never seen either OF
these terms in print before, we sat to work
to see to whom reference made. On
looking over the article we found that by the
tale of the argus the Germans oil Cieveanu'
Of Pittsburgh, of Albany, &C., had combined TO
tiscourteously and indecently treat the wheel
ing delegation of German Singers, who wentir'm
here to the Cleveland Convention. They thus
shameruy combined upon the Lsole and exclu'
siyc ground that our delegation aons from WheSt'
ina and Wheeling 'cus in u Stare State. Inc
nersecution recollect was Of political kind, OF
that kind only, and the prosecutors were Ger
mans Chcir brethrcn) and Germans only.
We'll, then, the argus having stated the bad
STYLE in which they were treated (at on account
of being from Whecling) proceeds to remark
that s'the poor fools 0hese Germans of Cleve-
land, Pittsburgh, Albany, &c.,) who do not
know how to behave themselves at home would
make fine display among gentlemen abroad,
would they not?" at can (the Ar9"s contIn-
ues> be we'll imagined what a display the niger
,l,eI ETottcatots (the Germans, recollecO would
make on the streets of our city" And further
it saws who would not give dollar to see the
Grcasers (thc Germans) go through one per
Iformance." "If (and here we comc to the
complimentary parD they Qhcse Germans, for
recollect Germans are the only persons mention
ed in the whole article Of the A1gms) should
come to Wheeling and get penned up in one
crowtl-bah! II they should remain c0gFned
t;ar any length Of time-,ohetot II the a0eathcr

Now we submit that the Wheeling Argus has
nut sIur upon the Germans Of whom tspeakS,

publicans or any thing cIsc-have assembled and
can assemble together even in the heated term
of the DOG Days. and stay together for days
in connection, and net emit an efluvia at all
offensive to nostrils Of the most delicate suscep-
tibility
What Them and let our German friends press
the question, does the argus mean by insiuuat
ing that a convention of these Germans from
Cleveland and these other places mentioned,
cannot come here, and still leave us Il pure at
imosphere? Turn and twist its meaning as it

warm weather, the bare idea of smelling which
has caused it, the Aag"s, in three different
places, to say "6ah!'" "todcvt and ''oA L-dy!"
This much for this morning. The Argus has
started one Of its old games of playing upon
public prejudiccs in order to create feeling
against those who are its political opponents
especially those who do not worship the niger
iiunta at Richmond. We simply mean to hold
it down the level of it's chosen tactics.
