mont,' - Butler" and "Sigel."
The German radicals, as if by pre- concert
with the New England radicals here in this city,
have held a large public meeting in ST. Louis
Caspar BATE, OF Chicago, thus ventilated himself:
at was in Missouri where j. O. Fremont
long and continued applause]-it was in Mis-
souri, where J. G. Fremont designated The policy
of the Union. The American nation has a great
humanitarian To carry out. Who will do it
The people. Dwarfs sit at the helm of the YES
sci. A giant propels the engines. This giant ia
the people. and that giant will speak to day. !
do not come to abuse any man, but l will speak
against the system that ruins US. 1t the Presi
dent endangers the safety of the Commonwealth
by listening TO bad advice, it is the duty of the
people 10 speak-to speak and act"
But V.llandingham has been arrested for this
sort of thing!
There is one nam Halleck, continued cries
of down with HaIleck Ives. down with Hal
leck. 1t is your duty we will do it. TO express
your sentiments against Halleck. He is the Me
phisto who misleads Lincoln. Why should we
not solemnly express here at St. Louis that H.
W. Hilleck the present Commander in Chief
does not enjoy the confidence OF the people. Ii
Is easy to prosecute good men. but the people
have the sense of Justice. and the people are
with Generals Butler and Sigel. If the reOple
speak, they must he heard. Our undivided cOun-
try first, aud everything else next, and in main
tanning this. we will speak freely"
A Colonel w. G CAN'T next followed:
General Halleck's orders, lao matter where
they came from, would have no more effect on
him than the wind that stirred that hlg. That
hag spoke to him of liberty, it spoke to him of
Fremont. Fremont, who had been removed
from here on account of slavery. who had been
removed by Frank Blair. [Grent commotion.
Loud groans for Blair He had heard Frank
Blair say it took five cabbage heads to make one
D~utchm,n: he would say Blair might take his
own head and nuke as many as he pleased
The resolutions endorse this sort OF talk. One
of them re1,ls thus:
Resolved. That we believe it to be the true
theory of our Government that the President
should he supported by a Cabinet counsel agree
ing with him in general policy. This obvious
condition of success does not now exist. We
therefore believe that such change should be
made as to make he same n unit in support of
the radical policy of the President, as announced
BY him 10 his proclamation OF freedom OF January
LIST. 1853. and in the proclamation of September
l30th. 1861.
These Germans, however, in Missouri, are
more faithful to "a principle" than their New
England cohort AbolIIonists here are-for Cas-
par Batz, CAN'T, and other speakers, all contend
for " free speech" and for free discussion" of
aalleck, Blair & Co. They seem to be afraid
that Halleck would put that heel" of his upon
their own necks, and crush them out-and hence
they resolved, as well as talked. for "free speech. "
The following was their resolution on that sub
jeci:
Resolped. That We solemnly protest against
the attempt by the military authorities to violate
a vital principle OF Republicanism by interference
with the freedom of speech of citizens who have
proved their true loyalty by the ready sacrifice of
blood and treasure; that, in the language of the
Congress. Congress shall make no laws abridg-
ing the freedom of sDeech. or of the press, or Of
the right OF the people peaceably to assemble and
to petition the Government for a redress of griev-
%ances," and We ueny the correctness Of the pro
position that those who support the President
must support all his appointed agents. and are
forbidden TO ~criticise their acts.
