II looks TO me As ifths Republicans intended
10 repeat this trick Of the Romans Of old, 70
save themselves from utter annihilstion. Thoss
whom they fear most aud whose columns they
want to breuk by a similar strAtAgem, are the
voters Of German birth. who have hitherto
stood fast BY the Democracy. The Republican
generals have, therefore, collected their "oxsu, I,
put FIRE to their tails aud horns, and driven

in the Democratic'psrty no German could ever
aspire to higher office, than constable or a

Has he forgotten, that MIR. Sehif is aOp

not know thsee things. il he Ia 40 little versed

csase his attempts to instruct the people Of the
State, and begin 6rst TO instruct himself
But his charge against the Democracy was
general aad not local. I sm justified, therefore,
