The Wasehisr am Erie having fairly aroused
the bile Of the Piaindealsr, evidently enjoys bis
work and treats his infuriated adversary with
repeated kicks. The entire article being rather
extended, we cOn6ne ourselves to few extracts;
"Mr Gray is talking about certain secret
Circular, kind Of design for coniuration in
favor of a universal Republic That is a small
mistake, for had anything Of that kind been in
the wind, we would not have eonfded it to Mr..
Gray or to any OF the other gentlemen, as wo
never have been green enough TO hold men who
acknowledge slavery as legal, capable Of work.
ing in any way for universal Republic, The
mere design ior il is ev IDENTIFY, as the Pandeeler
itself proves, high treason in the eyes of his
kind of Demoeracr. We exhibited simply
manifesto Of Mr.. Wade, the Freesoil candidate
who at that time was running n opposition tO
MIR. Wilson. Mr.. Wade having given his views
on the three leading questions plainly and fully,
it was him we intended 20 recommend to our
readers, supposing that Mr. Wilson would not
come up to an equal degree Of liberalism. On
the 22d September we had published our ideas
about Wade, Wilson, and Case, and hal advised
the German Democrats to get Mr.. Wilson's
answer 10 those three questions. We found, with
great pleasure, that MIR. Wilson proved much
more radical than the German Democrats, he
seeing nothing improper, like them in asking
questions aud giving eheerfully the explanations
he was asked for. The "Waechter" Of October
@, 1852, said thorefore
"Mr. Wilson has given 80 decided answers, that
we readily will work for his election, he enter
tanning the same views with us in regard TO land
reform and to the question Of Intervention, and
expressing himself even more radically in fefe-
renee to the hunting of r.en. He has declared
himself, in the most dec 'ded manner, in favor of
land reform and interv 'ntion, but against the
Fugitive Slave Law; he has promised to do all
in his power towards the repeal Of the latter and
| towards speedy and favorable solution of both
the former questions. Mr. Wilson holds the
Fugitive Slave Law 70 be unconstitutional, un-
democratic, inhuman, infamous, in short, what
it really is, the greatest insult offered TO Ameri
ca How he thinks about IT, is evident from
certain resolutions, drawn by Mr.. Wilson, in
conjunction with Messrs, Tiffany, Hitchcock
Benedict and Knapp. presented to a large meet
ing at Empire Hall, October IL, 1850, and
there iopted."
We could prove by these very resolutions
that MIR. Wilson entertained even more radiea
ideas about that matter than we had ever ex
pressed ourselves. w e did at the time "tCrtte az
Independent paper ioiih consequent Democratic
principles" and that is what we do exaetlyu up I,
this day. Our present opposing the Democrat
ic party is not our fault, but that of the Demo
cratic party ITSELF since it has turned Russian
The Plaindealer's peryersion of facts will 30

them all. Il will not do to deny Mr.. Wilson
appreciation of those resolutions. We had NJ
knowledge Of them whatever, until Messrs Gray
and Wilson recommended the same to us al
evidence of Mr., Wilson's position, and if W,
are not mistaken, it was Mr., Gray himself who
promised to hunt up the resolutions, which W,
received about an hour afterwards, translate,
and published. Not one of the German Demo
Gratis, who at that time read the explanation o
MIR. Wilson, found anything wrong in il; ther
was, on the contrary, general rejoicing over il
Therefore We repeat it, Mr.. PlaindealeT, you
