The German Republican Paper
ON the Editor Of the Gazette.
The Gase,te does rot find that its man
dates, though backed by its master $ endorse
mcnt, meet with universal obedience. We
published a day or two ago translation Of
an article from DIR U,mohrat. a portion
of our readers may have seen the Gazftte's
attempt at reply. In justice to the manly
and honorable of the two disputants, we
now present in our columns part of Der
Damo1rat's rejoinder. We wish we had
time and space to give the whole.
After eflectually disposing OF some OF the
Gazcttes slandcrs and Misrepresentation,
Der Dfmos'rat proceeds
