The German Republicans in Mil
waukee.

The Milwaukee Wisconsin, an indie
pendent Republican paper, which refuses
to support the Republican ticket, says it
is credibly informed that the German Re
publican Clubs Of that city (of which
| there are three separate organizations
held meeting on Thursday evening, and
determined by resolution not to support
Gov. RANDALL. They are also to draw
up an address for circulation among their
fellow Germans throughout the State, ad-
| vising them to take the same course, and
a committee was appointed for that pur-
pose. 1t is said that there are from 5000
to 10000 German Republicans in this
State. A year and half ago, the editors
of the German Republican papers in this
State, Gncluding Mr.. CARL ScHURz, who
| then edited paper at Watertown) dislik-
ing Gov. RANDALl's course, rebuked him
by issuing An address to the public,
taking exceptions to some Of his official
acts, and claiming that he did not represent
the principles Of the Republican party. 1t
is now satisfactorily ascertained that the
whole German Republican vote of the
State will be cast for Mr.. HOBART, which
VII ensure his election by from 5000 to
IL. COO majority. Good enough!
The Pilot of yesterday tells us what Mr.
Roeser likes and dislikes-what he is go
ing to do DC. Does the Pilot speak by
authority, or does it express an opinion by
drawing upon its wishes for the reproduce
ton of its thoughts Tribune.
We assure our friend of the Tribune
that VI always "speak by tue book" for
proof of which fact we refer our Shanghai
friend to the article in to-day's Pilot, cop
led from Mr.. RoEsER's paper. And we
further assert, that if the Tubunes edito-
rial articles were half the time based upon
truth, or a semblance of truth, that paper
would command little more of the res
pect and confidence Of It's political friends,
instead of being by-word and reproach
among them, as it is now
\ REPUBLICAN OUTRAGE.-The Board
Of State Equalization, which is composed
of a majority of Republicans, attempted to
raise the valuation of Manitowoc county,
from 81 ,G3 peracre, as returned by the Coun
10 >f
5000 per acre. Thus it is that our peo-
pie have to pay burthensome taxes to
support the extravaganza Of Gov. RANDALL
and his Shanghai friends who have at pre-
sent the control of our State. Let the
people of Manitowoc county remember this
at the next election, and hurl them from
power. Elect HARRISON G. HOBART, and
the ba ance Of the Democratic ticket, and
our farmers and tradesmen will no longer
suffer from the corruptions and schemes of
Black Repubicanism.
The attempt, however, of those Black
Republicans failed, for through the active
perseverance of Senator TnURBER in the
matter, our county was let off at 1857 per
acre.

ynrsc MrN's CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION, was
enough 70 thrill the heart Of any one IN

Msny hearts throbbed with gratitude to God
ina, The Great Head Of the Church uniyer-

Old hymn-"Do not be discouraged, tor Jesus

hearts of many present. Side by side were
seated ministers Of the different denomina-

Saviour filled their hearts, they found them
selves bound together by the glorious chain
Of brotherly love. Oh! how ennobling, how
esa,ing the thought! The prayer uttered
long ago BY the Saviour has at last been
answered. Christians have become one

one Lord. one faith. and one baptism. Thank
