The London Times says q very remarkable
circumstance is now exciting some attention
in Germany, and it will shortly excite still
greater amount Of interest in the United States.
Every one knows the immense number Of
German emigrants who find their way to the
Union. Most Of them il il needless to state in
condition far removed from nilluencc, but
however poor they may be when they leave
home, they generally return to their native
country in after years in very comfortable cir
cunstanceS. Az their lot is cast amongst Re-
publcanS, and as they wish to have voice in
the making Of the laws which govern them,
these German emgrants become, in the ma Or-
ity Of cases, naturalized Americans.
| 1t seems TINT a native Of Hanover who
stands in this position recently returned Il
the country Of his birth, and waS drafted into
the militia and compelled to do military service
| lie refused, and pleaded the laws Of his adopt
cd country, and applied for protection to the
American Consul. The American Govern
ment has pereInptorially demanded his release
II has done more than this: it has caused sim
liar acquisitions to be made upon the other
German Governments who arc made to under.
stand that American citizens cannot be called
upon 10 submit to the dictates Of arbitrary
rule.
The German Powers, however distastrful il
may be to them, willgivc way, and they will
respect the rights Of those German Americans
who return from the far west with handsome
amount of dollars, with which to pass the
evening Of their days in their native country
II is a remarkable fact that there is no great
Power in the world with so small IN army nnC
navy, as the United States, and yet which
makes itself more feared and respected abroad

Why are the Opposition press so silert
about the death Of Dr. Goodwin, who was
killed In duel by Mr.. Gatewoodf Is it be-
cause he was from the South and a Democrat?
Is his antagonist murderer "? Not word
in heard from one Of them about arresting,
trying and furnishing Mr.. Gatewood. If DR..
Goodwin had shot Mr.. Gatcwood their fierce
howls for his blood would have been heard ali
oyer the State. 1t Is perfectly just and hon.
orahle. in their eyes, to kill SOutherner and
Democrat, but an Outrage that demands pun
ishment for q Democrat to kill his antagonist,
Malignity and bSseness characterize the. whole
course Of these sanctimonious fellows.

Mr. CoDDEN on TIE UNITED STATEs.-In n
speech delivered by Mr.. Richard Golden, NJ.
T.. at Liverpool, on his return from his recent
visit to this country, he said:
1.-The Americans and English seem to me to
occupy the same relation to each other which
it is said Goldsmith did toward DIR. Johnston.
The gruf old DIR. liked to scold Goldsmith
himself, but he would never allow anybody
else to Sc0ld him without taking his part,
daughter and applauSr,) And | have no
doubt in the world, from all have seen in my
travels in the United States, that, were it pos
sibe TINT England should find hersc(in po-
sition where she was hard pressed by enc
mics in Europe, give her but good cause,
and give her the necessity for help, and have
not the least doubt in the world, from all
he0red, in all quarters in the United States,
that nothing would prevent in n case 0fclner-
gency, the population of the United States
the great bulk Of the population Of the United
Statrs-from hurrying to the rescue of the
old mother country. (applausc) | don't say
this from any idea that we are likely to need
that help. think England is strong enough
to hold her own, and that is the opinion in
America, as we'll as here, in any just cause
against her enemies; but mention it as q
fact which has come under my notice from
all quarters"
