Gen. Bake.
We are i, receipt Of private advices relative
to an alleged insult offered to the Germans and
Irish by Gen. Baker on the 18th, at Clinton. Our
advices are well backed and petitions are now
circulating here to procure Bakers removal
but we thought it so singular that man OF
Bakers sense would make the remark, that we
designed not to refer to it this week unless
public report confirmed it. BY the following
it will be seen there is too much truth in it to
be passed off lightly. We clip from the Du.
buque Daily Herald of Saturday:
"DowN ON THE DUTCH AND IRlsH-The
Lyons Mirror, in late issue, publishes the
Of Adiutant General Baker upon the Germans
and Irish:
eve understand that a meeting Of G ermans
was held the other evening, to consider q re.
mark said to have been made by Adjutant
General Baker, at Clinton, on the 4th. 1t is
asserted that Baker, incensed that the people
we're all gong through to Lyons to celebrate,
made the remark, in effect: Nobody is going
to Lyons but the damned Dutch and Irish
rabble, and let them 60; they're only fit for
bait for catfish anyhow An effort is being
made, We hear, to compass his removal. II
does not seem credible that any man could
have made such q remark in speech; and
certainly, if uttered as reported, it was deroga.
tory to the dignity and character which should
grace the office Baker occupies"
As the Mirrsr is a republican paper, we take
it that this allegation will not he charged as O
copperhead invention.
The Clinton Herald and Davenport Ca=ettc,
both Of which make their living principally
from the sops that fall from Bakers office, rush
to his rescue, and while they cannot deny that
he used the language attributed to him, they
attempt tn excuse it by saying that it was ap
piled to the Dutch and Irish stockholders. This
is mere afterthought to explain away the cat.
fish bait, but it will hardly 90 down.
The Germans OF Lyons and Clinton must,
however, be jolly green set to petition Stone
to remove Baker for expressing the same senti.
ment as he himself entertains. These aboli
ton leaders are all leavened with knownothing
ism, and are equally ready to prescribe all who
do not happen to agree with them either in poll.
tics, nationality or religion"
The Germans Of Lyons would hardly have
held meeting on the subject unless the dis
gusting language had been used. The "skedad
dler" apology Of the Herald and the Gazette il
just near enough to be true to be very false
the General, if he used that word at all, had
reference to those who were skedaddling from
Clinton to Lyons and not to any one who de
serted the army. The Irish, Dutch aud Nor
wegians were as good soldiers rs we had.
