WILL ADDRESS THE PEOPLE
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4.

Democratic Leaders ON the q erma ms.
Senator Butler, OF South Carolina, one Of
the great lights Of the national holding
Democracy, in q speech delivered 10 the Sem
ate Of the United States, on the 2Sth Of Feb
ruary, 1854, reported in the Washington
Unioa ON the 7th Of March thereafter, ex-
pressed the deliberate opinion that popula.
ton of negro slaves would be preferable to
the German population OF Iowa.
"Why, sir, the Shareholder, with his slaves
well governed, forms a relation that is inno-
cent enough, and useful enough. believe
that II 10 population which Iowa to NOR
row would prefer to an humiliation Of those
men coming as emigrants from a foreign
country, wholly unacqusinted with the inet-
tutions OF this country-aud nearly all CONT
mental oomers are Of that class. The same
remark cannot be made Of those Who, like
the Irish and English, have lived under the
administration Of the common law"
Will the Germans Of our State continue to
endorse this insulting sentiment BY voting
for the political friends and admirers Of that
Democratic STAKEHOLDER
The same sentiment in regard to the Ger
mans prevails with tho Locofoeo leaders OF
the North u the present day. Here it is, e.
pressed in different language, to be sure, by
the Msquoksta sentinel, the Locofoco organ
Of Jackson county, Iowa:
ssThe Republicans and negro lovers Who
consider kinky darksy far superior to 4
sDutchman,' have in this State nominated q
German, (Russh) Of Davenport, for Lieut..
Governor, with tho view to secure the Ger.
man vote for their ticket. These German
ingrates are known a. busy bodies. and mis-
chief makers in every community where they
reside. They were driven ont OF Germany
in AZ Tor their clannishness and NEEDLE
someone's. They ignore the Bible. snd 81
revealed religion, believe in no future stat.
of rewards and punishments, and act on ths
in6de motto, tive while we live.' They ain
At anarchy in politics, morals and religion
and are curse to any country Or oommnni.
ty."
The Locofocos don't regard German .,
At for Lieutenant Governor or for any other
ONCE for that matter. In this county thu
regular Convention treated them ~ ssvotinl
stock = With undsguised contempt, and onl,
called another Convention and nominated
German whsn they found their whole ticks
doomed TO dsfsat BY the "German rebellion
- they stylsd il. Justice to the German,
Was not voluntary, but Was forced upon th,
leaders Of ths party aSaiast their will.

From Victoria, We have correspondence be-

Harney Acknowledges the receipt of Douglass pro-
test, and says he took San Juan to protect Amer-

yeyaDce to Vctori, to be tried for alleged ofenses
committed on the island. This letter is very curt
and rather Grabbed. Gov. Douglas replies in q
more petite and spologetic tone denies that any
such outrage WAS threatened or contemplated as
the one complained Of by H,rney and demands
that tie latter, in consequence of this distinct

MONTREAL, Monday, Sept %, 1859.
The cricket match commenced on Saturday at noon,
with the Canadians at the wickets From the fast
bowling, they continued making runs until Psrr went
on at the sixteenth wicket, and made sad havoc with
his slows. The last wicket fell for 81 runs leaving the
Canadians rather nervous from their sad pro1pect OF
success.
AT Sis p. M, England sent Wisden and Grundy TO
the wiokets, and, after some pretty play, Hardinge
found his way to GruDdys siumps. Hayward was
then cent in, ard played steadily with Wsden till sun
down when the score stood seven for one wicket.
On Monday, at III 80 a. m, they began play and at
o clock tpe last wicket fell.
The Canadians again faced the bowling, but when
time had been called seventeen wickets had fallen for
43 runs, Psrr bowling spendidly, having taken six
good wckets in half an hour. The nervousness Of tue
trst innings had taken strong hold, the slows finding
their way faster to the wckes than the fast bowling
The game stopped at twilight the sun shining in
the faces of the bstsmen, with four wckes to fall on
the side Of the Canadians. The Twenty-Five are
laughed at by their friends who bet two 70 on the
Twenty-Five OF the st. Georges club. The English
Eleven play splenddly, and it is perfect picture to
see them, but they will find their equals in the Twenty
two at IIoboken.
There were 6,O00 people on the ground, and the
military band played some fine selections. There were
many ladies' military officers, and heads of depart
menis witnesses to the match The following is the
