The spirited leader Of a new German + Dsncipa,ion
paper just Issued 10 Missouri called The Mssonrt
Post 1t will be feeD tina in this the new journal
commits itself in the brosdest and ffeest way to
ces it urges the economical aspects of the question
in very strong terms.
We have long held that the influence OF the Ger
mans on the future Of this country WAS 10 be a
most important one. Their peculiar social qualities,
filing out 90 many notorious American Deficiencies;
the artistic skill of their mechanics so far
surprising the awkward, uninventve habits OF our
own workmep; aad he bold thought aud profound
research Of their learned men, whom persecution
or chance has driven TO this country, are contrbu-
tons e imnense account to the development OF
our people Even the German farmer, though by
no means 90 vel adapted for the borders Of civil
zation as the American, it is well known, give
certain stability aod grace to the Countrywide of
the far West which no other new settlers do.
The new German farm, We are told, caa al ways
be distinguished from the native by the shadet
left standing near the house, or the vines trained
over the door way, or the flowers growing at the
thresholds. And Of all the pioneers, the Germans
hold most tenaciously to the homesteads they have
erected in the wilde rness, forming something of
permaI ent society, long before the Americans have
settled on clearing which they will determine to
hold as their own.
OF course, there are many cOunteryalhng lnfiu-
en- ces TO these which all aSapdantly familiar
With. The German skepticlsm aud German mate
riasm are both things to be dreaded but not tend
encie. calculated specially to sfec. our people.
We can only ply the race whose masses are so
scourpeS by these two curses. But AZ ainst AL
these and similar bad effects from the German i'm
migration, We have one grand result, which is to
m,ke the presence of tue Germans in this coan-
try a blessing TO all succeeding times. We mean
their influence on the question of Freedom and
Slavery.
The instinct Of the Teutonic mind is toward in
dividual liberty. Nowhere has the German easily
acspted himself to be a slave master. Escaping
from the inequality of classes, the degradation Of
labor and the wrongs of governments IN bis o~n
country, he cannot easily accept system here
which would only perPetuate that which he
has 20 abhorred at home. The Teltonc idea Of
liberty is quite another thing from toe Celtic idea.
IL j. true that there have been ia America, e.pe.
ciajly in our large ci'ies, disgrscelul class OF
wealthy Germans who just as thet pla] the lac
quey to the petty provincial sfsto iras as home
here crDge to the party in power which holds the
Offices; and there have been also sreater nuDber
Of poorer Germans whom the cd name Of Demo
krai-a name bsp,ised 10 tears OF blood throughout
Europe-bas besuied hers for time TO the cause
Of tyranny.
But these are exceptions, aud prede'tned to be
more and more rare. TIE Germans now In many
Of our Western States present almost united
front for the party of Freedom. In New-YoIk
City, they polsd large and enthusiastic vote for
Fremont and though Temporarily rendered
sverse by an un,orsunats misunderstanding Of the
resolutions at the Republican Convention. We can
not doubt what their future petition viii be. In
Texas, a. lie we'll known. they have solved the
problem Of raising cotton by free labor, and would
now almost insure the freedom Of the western part
of that State, if it should b. separated from the
other part.
But it Is in Missouri that their most important iu-
fuence is to be exer.ed The publishing Of new. bold
Frse.So paper in the midst Of slaveholders is only
ono oct of a hundred indications Of this inf asnce
In st. Louis they form the bulk Of the powerful
party of Euancipatoo. which has already once
ssnt its Representative to Congress-, and which.
