4 SUDDEN CHANGE OF SYMPArnY.-The
Detroit Free Press denounced the German
Republicans in 1856, as follows:
"They are presuming, officious, and claim
to be wise above their fellow -countrymen !;
but thank God they are few, as contemplate
in numbers as they are in character. Like
empty Kettles, they sound big, and can make
more noise than they can poll votes. They
are to their own country disgrace, to them
selves untrue, and to their fir. ends, ungrate
tul. They are educated fanatics, and have
no other bond of union with the fusionists
of this country than fanaticism. That they
would glory IN the dissolution Of the Union,
ue hare no doubt, and tn t they are throw
ing what little influence they have into The
disuniom scale, is abundantiy erident from
their acts"
The Free Press is now shedding crocodile
tears over the Massachusetts amendment
and, like Rachel weeping for her children,
refuses to be comforted

There has just been another murder
case in the Washington criminal court. The
murderer was a poor man, and was found
guilty and sentenced accordingly. The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Post
writes:
In this case the indicted person was poor
and in low position--hence the ease in ac-
cording justice to them. Had they been rich
or members of Congress, we should have
seen quite different result attained. And
dare say that Rev. DR.. Sunderland, and Rev.
DR.. Haley would have visited them in prison.
But as it is, they are poor and despised, and
no jury, no pious parson takes pity on them.

THR LATE ToRNApo.-The cause Of tn
late dreadful calamity near Iowa City wa
not n driving storm, but WHAT'S most prop
erly termed whirlwind or tornado. l
came down, says an eye witness, in the form
of funnel, with rapid spiral as we'll a
forward motion, fairly wrenching to pieces
every object with which it came in collision
The newspaper reports of yesterday fix tht
number of deaths thus far at FIVE, all o
whom were killed instantly. Several of the
wounded are in an extremely critical condi.
tion. Mr.. Berry was found in the basement
of his barn, large stone on his head. Mr..
Morgan was whipped round post and every
bone in his body broken. Mccoy, another
of the victims, was trnnsixed with board.
Three COWS, 2 horses, mule and number
of hogs and chickens were found scattered
about in fragments. Of the survivors, a
babe of sixteen months was carried off 800
yards, into slough, from whence it was res.
cued after sustaining the most serious in
juries. The brick house of Mr.. Graham
was literally crushed; the family escaped.
The storm traversed q scope Of country
about one mile in width and some eight
miles in length, though its destructive force
was confined to a much smaller area. Loss
estimated to be near $4,000 not including
damages done to crops, trees and or ohards.

GY President Buchanan said in his mes
sage that Slavery was as firmly established
in Kansas as in Georgia, and the Democracy
hold as the highest and most essential doc
trine of their creed that the Constitution, as
interpreted in the Dred Scott case, "carrcs
Slavery into the Territories"
Humphrey Marshall q leading South AM
erican, denies his position, and insists that
the necessary logical result of the doctrine
is to establish Slavery in the States as we'll
as in the Territories. ''If," says he, "the
Constitution carries Slavery into Territory,
it must also carry it into State, for the Con-
stitution is just as much the supreme law in
a State as in a Territory. 1t reads the same
way in State that it does in a Territory,
and has just the same power in State that
it has in a Territory. Would it be contended
that the people of a territory, when forming
a State Constitution, have no right to pro-
hbit Slavery? Clearly, if it was carried
there by the Constitution of the United
States. they would not, nor could State pro-
hioit any importation of slaves into its bor-
ders if the Constitution of the United States
carried it there"
Will our Democratic friends of Iowa en-
tighten us on this point? Will they please
to make it clear to eur comprehension how
Dred Scott is strong enough to overthrow
popular sovereignty in the Territories and
carry Slavery there against the will of the
people, and yet is too weak to effect the same
thing in the States? The Constitution of
the United States declares itself the supreme
law Of the land how, then, if it establishes
Slavery, can the people of State abolish
Slavery without thereby violating the ST.
prems law of the land?

gossipping letter from Paris, speaking about
the Austrian Enperor's mother says:
''The Archduchess is woman of tho
most powerful intellect, and still holds her
rule over her son as firmly as in the davs Of
his minority. Her penetration is proverbial:
and she still consults with Metternich unon
all subjects connected with the interests

DEMOCRACY ILLUsTRATED.-The professed
unselfsh love of the sham democracy for our
foreign born citizens, was amusingly illustra-
ted by an incident which occurred few days
since at the Davenport city election. The
editor of the Neus-a sheet most rabidly
democratic, and one that processes great re-
spect for the foreigners, being fairly charmed
with "the rich Irish brogue' and 'the sweet
German accent" was candidate for mu-
nicipal office. While electioneering for him
self, German citizen, to whom he offered a
ballot, refused it, whereupon the amiable ed
itor of the News called him ga d--d Dutch
man." In his paper of the 1lth inst. the
indignant editor devotes nearly column to
this subject, acknowledges that he made use
of the expression, and says that he reserves
the right to apply the same epithet to every
German who offers like provocation. This,
we take it, is characteristic of the whole
Democratic party. While protesting great
regard for foreign born citizens, they reserve
to themselves the right to stigmatize them as
'the ID Dutch" or id Irish whenever
well, whenever they refuse 20 vote the DEM
ocratic ticket! 0, Democracy how many

the approaching Republican nominations for
State officers. 1t says:
We can see no improperly in urging tho

them, in case of their nomination, the earnest
and hearty support of the wide-awake Re.

We firmly believe that there is no man in

tainly no one Of whom the unwashed Democ-
racy have greater dread, than Mr.. Kirk

blemish in his character. There he stands.

Of William W. Hamilton, we can safely
speak in terms of the highest praise and ad-
miration. His name is Of itself a host and
his nomination would be hailed with eladness
by the entire Republican party of the State.
and as an unmistakeable omen Of SUCCESS
No man has done better service in the Repub-

is better qualified to discharge the complicated
and difficult duties appertainng to the post
OF President of the State Senate. Uniting
with these qualities those Of thorough bred
gentleman and an accomplished scholar. his
name will add strength to our ticket, and
secure for it the respect, if not the support
OF even our political opponents.

The DEMOCRACY" PRosCRIBING FOREIGN
ERs.-The Pontiac Sentinel has brought to our
attention fact, in connection with the late
Massachusetts, two years amendment, that
will effectually shut up those Democratic or
gans that are laboring to fasten the response
bility of that measure upon the Republican
party. i..
1t is a fact that the Democratic State of
South Carolina, only three years ago, passed
a law precisely similar to the Massachusetts
law, the Massachusetts, bill being almost
literal copy of the South Carolina proscrip
ton.
According to the logic and reasoning of
the Chicago Times, the whole Democratic
party of the country is in favor of this pro-
scription of foreigners, because one Demo-
cratic State has adopted it.-Chicago Jour-.

absolutely and unquestionaby declined the
honor of democratic nomination for Gov

work to cause such a panic and stampede
among distinguished democrats? Jones de-
clines, Samuels declines, and now Fisher
declines. Mr.. F. is one of the most unex-
ceptionable men connected with the party,
and the only one that would carry anything
beyond the party strength. He has strong
hold upon the affections of his neighbors,
who regard him as not enough of demo.
crat to hurt him good, kind hearted man,
who has no guile in his composition, and
whose intellectual tastes elevate him above
the bigotry and folly of a party, to which he
adheres from sort of habit that won up
on him when Democracy meant what the
word imports. Dodge and Letfingwell now
have the track to themselves; unless as a
contemporary intimates, DR.. Eads demands
considerations for his claims. Left. will be
off like shot, i he sees any probability of
his party leading him chase after any
such ghostly distinction as is likely to be-
long to defeated candidate for Governor.

Unless the nomination is made before he
gets back, ten chances to one but there will
be another declination.-Desm Citizen.
