GERMAN FEELING ON CITIZENSHIP The
Cincinnati Volksblatt, in an article on Gen.
Cass' last epistolary production, declares that
the Democratic party must take the response
bility Of his letter, until their national con-
vention condemns it in unmistakable terms
The Volksblatt returns with interest the
reproaches of those German Republicans who
continued to adhere to the party in spite of
the Massachusetts, amendment, and concludes
its article as follows:
"The worst that a part Of the Republicans
in single State have done is to declare that
naturalized citizens shall wait two years
longer before they exercise the right of suff-
rage. The worst the Democratic government
has done is to permit that naturalized citizens
Of the United States may be shot at the pleas.

The NEGRO QuEsrIoN-''Pig or Puppy."-
The stump speakers of all parties have been
in the habit of telling "a pig and puppy story
which is finely illustrated by Chief Justice
Taney's rulings in regard to the African race.
lie makes negro 'pig or a puppy" just as
suits the interests of shareholders. When the
question of extending slavery into the Terri
tories is before him, the negro is a mere
property in live stock-a chattel person like
a horse or an OK; but when the mail is rob-
bed, or any other breach of the law is perpe-
trated, the negro is person subject to the
provisions Of tho laws Of the United States.
Again, when claim to freedom is attempted
to be prosecuted in the Courts Of the United
States, the negro is not entitled to sue, and
has no righ.s which white men are bound to
respect; but when the census is taken, and
apportionment is made of the population of
the country for Representatives in Congress,
then the negro is person." and is so
counted to swell the population of the South
And while more than score of shareholders
hold their seats in Congress on Constitutional
basis of representation which regards negroes
as persons, the entire delegation from the
South will vote in favor of bills to compensate
slave-owners for their negroes captured in
war by the enemy, or hung or imprisoned for
crimes against the laws of the United States.

Gen. Dodge.

The Democrats seem to regard their candi-
date for Governor as perfect Ajax. They
build all their hopes on what they are pleased
to style his ''immense popularity" lie has
always been successful in his aspirations for
Office, and they imagine he will prove invinci
BILE in the present contest. We grant large
degree of popularity to Gen. Dodge. But the
intelligent voters of Iowa are not to be
wheeded into the support of man whose
only claim for their suffrages is that he is a
gool sort OF a fellow. "Principlcs, not men,
Is their motto. Gen. Dodge was member of
Congress at the time of the passage of the
hansas-Nebraska act, ana not only voted for
1T, but made speech in favor of that Infamous
measure. The people of Iowa have not yet
forgotten this betrayal of their trust, and in
October next they will exhibit their dsap-
proval IN an unmistakable manner. In short,
the immense popularity" D,dge won't win.
The pig -or-puppy" policy of the Democratic
party has disgusted the people with it's can
dldates, and nothing will save them from a
Waterloo defeat.
MORE DEMOCRATIC MoDEsrY. The follow
ing blushinsly modest paragraph is from the
Council Bluffs Bugle, edited by L. w. Babbitt,
Locotoco candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
Our STATE TICKET. Seldom is it the good
fortune of political party, in entering upon
campaign, to combine in its chosen standard
bearers so much real worth of character with
such large share of the elements of popular
lty and success as are presented in the list of
candidates chosen by the Democracy of Iowa
at their recent State Convention.
The valiant and virtuous aspirant for the
seems determined to blow his
own Bugle. What though he is stigmatizcd
as pol-book thief and a defaulter to the
government (there being now suit against
him for filching money while he was Land
Office Receiver, from which Office he was
turned out by President PIERCE he is still,
to his own inventory, man of
''real worth of character" 0, shame! where
is thy blush?
