The GERMAN REPUBLICAN AssocIAIIoN.-we
noticed recently an article in the columns Of the
star, under the head breakers Ahead ~ which,
whilst ridiculiEg to a great extent the ludicrous
proceedings Of the German Republican Associa-
ton CT this city, throws an objectionable refec-
3 ton upon the entire German population of this
District. The tone and spirit of the article re-
ferred TO, would lead one unacqtlainted with the
merits Of the TO indulge ia the belief that the
few individuals Of German parentage composing
= the so-called German Republican Association
constitute the authorized and duly elected repre-
sentatives Of the 90 German inhabitants OF the
District, or at least that portion Of the same be-
longing to the republican party. This is great
D error Upon proper and reliable inquiry amongst
our permanent resident German citizens-men Of
influence, property, and supporters Of families
who, before all others, are interested in the wei
fare Of our country-we find that none Of these
belong to the association In question. They dis
claim all arhliation In connection with the same
and condemn in the strongest terms the actions
on the part of few individuals who uncalled
for and without authority, would take it upon
themselves to represent the citizens Of German
extraction Of the District Of Columbia,
In fact, the German Republican Association
rePres nts nobody, except, perhaps, the few men,
bers Of which 1t consists; and 1t appears to that
the Wigwam is badly sold IL its members are
under the impression that handful of individ
uals who so bo'sterously urge their claims flor
what services y under the auspices of an empty
and silly pretext OF being the standard bearers OF
our solid and respectable German speaking inhab-
itants. The Association represents nothing at all
Of consequence; and it is but too often the case
that the public mind Is tortured and led astray by
the publication Of rodOmontade resolutio IS, BRO
posed aud endorsed by half dozen persons un-
known TO discriminating community. So much
for the present. "BREAkERs AHKAD.n
