The German Republican press is unanimous
in its approval Of the action Of the Republican
National Commute, in choosing Chicago as the
place sor holdiug the Cousentlon. The IE.st~
iiele Pas:, OF ST. Louis, The most radical Of the
! German Republican papers, which has been
quite exercised Of late 4ooue The policy Of tic
/ Republican party and entersai1ed a1l manner Of
fearful apprehensons, seems particularly pleas-
+; ed aud quite reassured. 1t speaks Is follows:
j "The fact that the Republican National Con-
ycntlon Was called ut Chicago has axEteabiy
ally mentioned ua the place tor holding the Con-
ventlou. The uerc n1ruc ut Chlcago is in Itself
F., d demonstration against Southern arrogance,
; and the National COMMITTEE having seirctea
| that place nud not st. LOUIS or lnaiauaput1s
! goes 10 show that the Leaders Of tho party DE-
/ are and are resolved upon displaying IN the
i Convection not merely femnuu1 Vi Their bao-
] ner but of raising it alofs unimparet over The
/ whole country.
i "Wlth this step the whole policy Of compro.
nl3e seems to lie put to an end. No trading
wsil be entered Upon with The Know Sothinss
: ut Indianapolis, nur with The Old Line Wings al
1T. LOUIS. II there are ludecd MEN with stu~
I: timents Of honor anong the Republicans, no
other answe: could be gwen 10 the sggressions
Of tho Soulh. CnicaSu Is the very heurt OF the
beat Republican elements in the Northwest, aud
The Coureutlun held there must axsume q very
d.tfercat character than II It we're held in 81.

The New Yerk A1ead=<itung, the leading
German Republican paper in the East, has the
4 following comments on lhe cali for the Repnbli-
can National Convention;
! arhis cali is fully up to heoecasion. Iteon-
/, tains preliminary summary OF the Republican
national programme, with which We are =nti, ely
satisfied. In the fist placG-and the 1act
is important line is dra~n between the
Eeouplican party and the congEomnera-
ton Q. the opposition parties In Penn
sylyauia and New Jersey. It is true
tha. they are invited 10 participate in tue Con
vention and cooperate il lhe election Of Re-
.PEuL1cAx President, but it Is done with an en-
phauc declaration, shat as they are Mt preseAI
they are no. yet IN integral part OF the kepub-
fcau party. The call further contains dtsap-
proval Of the famous Massachusetts amend
tnent, the tqaalitg Of rights Of al eitizas being
made pu1t Of the Republican confession OF
faith. Ine call does not contain anything rcla-
ling to the fugitive slave bill, but it iays down
decided protest a.ainst the doctrines rs set
forth By The United States Supreme Court in
lhe ease OF Dred Scott. BEosn's invasion ia
put oc a parallel With tho lnsasion Of Missou-
raus into Kansas, aud the one is censufed nei-
tter.less strongly nor more strongly taan the
other. Most dzcis1vely, however, it declarss in
; the face Of the tseasonab'e plans and doings Of
the Southern dtsunion. .sts That tie Republican
party, above all others, is determined TO preserve
lnriutate thcConstitution aud the Un,on. All this
Gun, IN the nature Of the case, be merely
indicated in i call for the election Of delegates
to the Convention. Yet, eyen these mere lndl-
cations, proceeding from committee Of repre-
s -nta1iEe men of tue Republican party, poiut re-
iab}y To the direction IN which the purity will seek
a victory in the Presidential election, that is not
By weakening andimpais,ng its distinctive doc
.rlnes and principles Us lad duwn in 1856. but
, BY strictly and vigorously Supplying these prin-
events, which hare taken place since 1856.
