North ware, Dcmocrnaic Meeting.

The German Democrats held meeting at
Schend's Hotel, in the north ward on Tuesday
evening last An intelligent German who was
present at the meeting, has furnished us with
summary of its doings, Before, however, giving
our correspondents account of the meeting, we
call attention to the incendiary handbils which
were posted about the city as call for the meets
ing. This call was printed in German. and doubt
| less gotten up in Milwaukee, under the auspices
| of James S. Brown. The original handful in Ger
man as well as the English translation which has
been made for us, may be seen at this Office. We
ouote sufficiently from it to show its reasonable
intent After announcing that James S. Brown
"a the Democratic candidate for Congress, and
the names of those who would address the meets
iro the call commences an incendiary trade as
follows:
/ "For the purpose of securing the election afore-
said ~, S. Brown and to destroy tie Shanghai s
sWiRdling operations, 1t Is necessary TO erect
good organization" &c.
Now as it will be seen from inspection of the
entire handbi that it is intended to have nation
al Specification it therefore virtually invites an Or
ganization t." destroy" the administration and the
government Tbs word shanghai it is well
known is an epithet used by Democrats to signify
Republican We have not time to quote further
from the reasonable handful, or extend our com"
ments upon it VIC may have occasion to refer tC
this matter at another time. In the meantime we
are sorry to learn, that our Draft Commissioner
for Kenosha County is responsible for the posting
ofIthese dsloyal handbi8 about the city.
