German American, a newspaper which represents
the radical German sentiment of the country.
and although decidedly INSTRUMENTATION. it is
radical Republican in its political sentiments
With this explanation the significance OF the fol-
lowing structures upon the policy and character
of the men in power will be duly Appreciated

new outbreak of the secession sympathizers in
this CITY As an indication of the threatening
condition of affairs. il quoted paragraph from
the Metropolitan Record, Catholic weekly,

man can think of such thing at present, for
almost every one of them is living from hand to
mouth. and besides who guarantees them the
continued value of Mr.. Chase's greenbacks?
IL is a settled conviction with every clear
