many Republican papers, and his ack-
nowledgedabilities have rendered him
worthy for the nomination as Gov
ernor of his State, the State OF Wis
consin.
The success of such a nomination
would have been a perfect set-@
against the Observation-Disclosures; but
MI. Schurz had to yield to MI. Ran
dali, the former Governor Of the State.
This unexpected triumph owe the
merits of Mr.. Schurz has stroke like
thunder into the ranks Of the natura-
LIED citizens. Many Of the Republi-
cans have presented the influence of
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, whilst the Demo-
Gratis in and out Of the State have not
hesitated to praise their countryman
Mr.: Schurz, and make political capital
out of his defeat, denouncing the Re-
publican Party at large, and coxing
the German Republicans to bolt, and
to turn over into the Democratic camp,
in which their rights were perfectly
honored. Mr.. Schurz alone stood firm
in the storm, and his speech on the 5.
Of September had a beneficial infu-
ence on his disappointed friends and
reminded us in his own behalf on
Horatius, saying:
"Rebus augustus animosus atque
Forts adpare: sapienter idcm
Contrahes ventO minimum secundo
Turgida vela."
Among many other papers the
"Times" of Chicago has yielded to the
hattering hope, that the German Re-
publicans Of Wisconsin would now
return into the Democratic camp, and
our"Pioneer and Democrat" has tho't
it expedient to blow in the same
horn, assuring his readers of the Ger
mans boiling, and saying, with the
"Times'', that the Germans will never
be treated with deserved courtesy, I'M
till they return into the Democratic
Household.
We know this courtesy and it's
source perfectly we'll, and say unto
you: No., Sirs, no, the German Re-
publicans will never bolt through in
justice done to them by individuals
or Caucusses they " will leave
a Party until the Party has not vio-
lated the principles, for which they
have joined it.
The "Atlas", a German Republican
leading paper of Milwaukee, says
about this matter:
"Vuim hope! The Republicans do
even not dream of throwing away the
Principles and Ideas, Of which Re-
publicanism consists, and Of joining
the Slave-catching Democracy. There
may be signs Of discomfort in some
quarters about the latest event, but it
is an insult to those whom the"Times''
thinks capable Of running over to
Sham = Democracy. We do not re-
nounce u principles without suf-
fcient ground Of better knowledge
If the "Times'' was able to convince
us that we may belong to the Demo-
cratic Party without defaming human
Rights, Reason and Liberty, than the
"better conviction might transform
us into allies of the "Times." If she
wishes to recrute for the increase of
"Niggery," she must not apply to the
German Republicans Of Wisconsin.
We do not less wish it to make COM
nor cause with our Democracy, than
with a swindler, knowing that both
are good for nothing and that the
world would but gain by losing them
BOTH"
These expressions are clear enough
to be understood, and they can be ap-
piled to thousands of intelligent Ger
mans who are able to think and Judge
for themselves. Most of them go with
the Republican Party, not because she
is the Incarnation of the principle:
sail men are born free ;" not because
she is armed with Minerva's shield
against all aggressions OF prejudice,
superstition and I'M ustice-which In
carnation she ought to be, which shield
she ought to wear -- but because she
carries the elements Of progress in her
young bosom, which, we hope, will
not rot in their germ, but blossom and
bear fruits, beneficial to mankind in
general.
There are boilers in politics., it is
true. You may find them in the ranks
Of Naturalized Citizens as well as
among Americans, even among INTEL
ligent men who-are void of honesty.
You may find them especially among
politicians by trade, whose intellect is
overruled by selfshness but German
Republican Editors and German Re-
publicans cen masse'' you will, most
certainly, not find fit for boiling, or
exchanging Liberty for Servitude.
We have a practical knowledg &c Of
mentalSlavery and ofPress- Despotism
in Germany many of us have left
home, sweet home, for the sake of
those chains, whilst others have been
cast out by the storm of Revolution,
to seek for a shelter in a far country,
called free. They embrace Liberty
with all their heart; they love and
