SThis gentlemen, who claims 10 have some right
to the support of his German feilow-citzens,
for the reason that his residence in the native
State Of that arch -demagogue, James Buchanan,
has made him somewhat familiar with the Ian
guago Of the inhabitants Of Berks County,
whose popular education is at discount and
people are said yet to vote for General Jackson,
has disgraced himself in Saturday nights Plain.
dealer, by a half column Of trash and despica-
Gle falsehoods. He uses a miserable imitation
Of the German, for an appeal to all interested
in the sale of intoxicating liquors, to defeat c.
w Palmer, Esqr,, the Republican candidate for
the Office Of City Attorney. and accuses this
gentleman, whom he dare not openly attack, of
being a narrow minded temperance man, who
was not only bitterly opposed to the Germans
citizens Of Cleveland, but has as member Of
the City Counsel in open debate applied epithets
to them generally, and VIII, folected, was bound
by secret oaths, to prosecute them; and in the
beautiful language of Mr. Heisley, FhrOiO them
into jail tor drinking glass Of beer"
Now, Mr. Editor, allow me to ask, what Mr.
Heisly will do, it, unfortunately, he should
chance to be elected. Will he prosecute ofien-
ders against the ordinances of the City Of
Cleveland; or is he pledged himself as Mr.
Mickey Gallagher Il cons. TO shut his eyes
against the violaters Of the Sabbath law, as cur.
rently reported! ...
II he really expects 10 gain single vote Of
the intelligent Germans, he is greatly mistaken
They know Mr. Palmer TO be gentleman, bet
ter qualified in every respect for the position,
lately disgraced by Mr.. Heisley Mr.. Palmer
is good lawyer, an honest man, and has n
host of friends among the Germans, who know
him; and will not be guled by wholesale It's
sue of lies, to vote for his opponent Mr.. Pal.
mer will enforce the laws, as bound by his Of
fetal OATH if elected, but will never persecute
anybody, and as to the value of that "glass OF
beer It does not matter to him as an officer, If
he, who is so disposed, will drink those tioeHty-
fDe Kegs Of lager beer, for which MIR. HeisIey
with MS appreciation Of the German character,
has said that he could buy all the dutch votes "a

Aud now there is something else, wherein
Mr.. Palmer will not initiate his illustrious pred
ccessor in spe. He will not commit the i'm
proprlety, TO defend criminals, like Faulhaber,
Leberle Gt cons, whom as an officer he should
prosecute, although by the other course he
could make snug sum of thousand dollars
by assignment of stolen property or other
means, equally discreditable; and he will not
defend criminals in the Court of Common Pleas,
whom he in his official capacity caused to be
bound over in the Police Court.
So much for Mr.. Heisleys attempt to write
German articles for the purpose of catching
what he calls, "ihe Dutch UOte" BY Tuesday
next he will learn his folly
Those resolutions expressing the Indignation
of the Republican Delegation at the late Con
yention against the attempted distinction OF the
Massachusetts Legislature between foreign and
native born citizens, were heartily endorsed by
Mr., Palmer, and could not have passed among
such men as HesIey, to whom foreigners in his
own peculiar expression, are but voting cattle
