a. Mr. Henry H. Brssch, young and
intelligent gentleman of this city, Penn
sylvanian by birth, though Of German pa
rentage, read an Essay before the Young
Mems Democratic Club, in this city, on
the evening of the 25th ult. The editor OF
the Journal compliments the Essay aud
publishes it entire, in his issue OF last
Wednesday We take the following ex-
tract from that Essay. 1t may not be very
complimentary TO the Democratic party,
or 10 those Germans who are now acting
with it, but it il nevertheless. we have no
doubt, true:
But there is another class Of Germans III
the United States who immigrsted ten OF
twelve years ago. and later, which is by
fer the most important, because the most
numerous, and taken ss a whole, the most
intelligent part Of our German population.
Most Of these also left the bright memo
ries OF their childhood, in other lands, aud
under other skies, on account of the secret
( tribunals, aristocracies, standing armies
censorship and moBopolies OF their native
country, TO seek. vest of the Atlantic. theil
4 independence. their dignity. their tranquil
ity aud their happiness.
IL is among this class mainly, that th'
proselytes to the principles of the Blacl
Republican party are to be found.
This extract shows much German indie
pendence in Mr. Brsseh. He could no
help knowing, from every days observa
ton, that The most intelligent part Of Ou
German population" mere ''prOselytes 10 III
principles Of The Black Republican party !;
and, though speaking to Democratic
Club, be spoke out the naked truth. W
only wonder how such an intelligent ma
as the Essayist can be any thing else bu
Republicao.

Hon. Justice Sayre, accompanied by their

1t appears that the somewhat distin-

insulted dignity of the great State of Indi-

Whether the accused confessed the soft
impeachment or whether the facts were
drawn from reluclsut witnesse. We are not
informed il is enough to know that he
who holds the scales Of Justice within that
inner temple on Main street a6judged that
the peace and dignity aforesaid would not
be duly vindioated and aPpeased, until

The Convention.

The Chicago Press d Tribune thus
speaks of the refusal Of our State Conven-
tion to notice the senseless falsehood that
Republicans we're responsible for Browns
invasion of Virginia:
Our readers will notice that in the plat
form laid down by the Republican Con
vention of Indians, the John Brown raid
was very properly ignored. The resolu-
items have the ring Of the true metal oD
State rights, and especially the right of
protection against internal strife or armed
invasion from any quarter Let the dis
union Democracy blurt out their treason
in the halls of Congress, and the next mo-
ment fling up their hands in holy horror
at ohm Browns raid. The people can see
through the transparent hypocrisy of their
positions, To charge the Republicans
with the responsibility OF The Brown raid
bctrsys the wiles of knsve or the ra-
wings of fool The Republicans Of In
diana treated the matter Vith proper con-
tempt by ignoring it altogether.
The correspondent Of thstpapsr who re
ported the proceedings of the Convention,
thus speaks of the speeches and the char
acter Of the Convention;
Hon. Caleb b. Smith, Benz. Harrison,
Esq, grandson Of the late President Hsr-
rison, and candidate for the office Of Re-
! porter of the Supreme Court. Hon. James
Wilson, Mr.. Lange, Mr.. Mullen, Judge
Hackleman ard two or three others made
/ most excellent speeches. Indeed, we never
4 heard so many speeches upon a similar oc
I casion, that were so uniformly appropri-
ate, eloquent and effective That by "the
/ gentleman from the forks Of Lestherwood'
/ was excessively amusing
Presidential matters at the commence
ment of the Convention occupied consid-
erable attention. Judge Bates friends
were here, and would doubtless have been
very grateful for al endorsement. But to-
ward the close all seemed disposed not te
touch the question, and determined 10 90
in heart and soul for the nominee Of the
Chicago Convention. The same sentiment
uttered by Col. Lane at the close of hi:
speech, was warmly applauded when re
pested by Judges Smith and Hsckleman
two Of tas delegates to the Chicago Con
vention. On the whole, we never wcr,
present at a more unanimous or a more en-
thusiastic Convention, aud certainly W,
neyer saw a moro intelligent or a noble

his recovery is very doubtful. When Ed

sailant was large, robust man. Some one
has noticed, as fact worthy Of attention
that these Democratic bullies always assail
weak men. or men unprepsred to defend
themselves. They never attack Wilson of
Massachusetts,, or Potter OF Wisconsin, or
Haskin of New York, or Kilgore Of this
State, who are big enough and ready
enough to fight anybody who attacks
them. Rust attacked Greeley, who could
not tell fist from a FIVE dollar bill two
feet from his nose. Brooks attacked Sum-
ner when he was pinned down and could
not fight. Aud now Edmuudson, the big
gest man Of them all, attacks weak, little
