DouGLAs171 Ou1RAGEs IN A1LwAuKEE:-on
Saturday night last, as the 9Th Ward Republi-
Gin Club, composed mostly Of Germans. was
returning frem meeting held on the Green
Bay Road, they were beset by gang Of Doug"
las rufians, and stoned Several Of the Club
were injured by the missiles. The same night
the flag staff Of the 9Th Ward Wigwam WAS
sawed OF, and an attempt made to cut away the
pillars which support the balcony IN front Of
The building. doubtless by the same scoundre1s
who made the assault on the procession. The
rapid progress made in the 9Th ward by Repnt-
lican principles have driven the Douglasites al
most to desperation. Every such act increases
the fanks Of the friends Of Free Speech and
iaaures Republican triumph.

Fourih'y. All the subtle eyasions and p1&usi-

Revolution, and are not Only held 10 allegiance
now under our laws, but are also subjected to
taxation and actuat representation IN every de-

er1ment caa excuse itself from the duty Of pro-
tec,ing the extreme rights Of evsry human be-
;nP, whether foreign or nat:ve born, bond lor
irer, whom it compulso1ily holds within its ju-

that the African race here il = foreign aud fee

The North; or else on the principle Of tho
Sor!hesa Democratic faction, that slavery is in

which il insufficient il the South, while the
national mind has actually passed far beyond

conviction that slavery, wherever and hovso-
