An lnteihgent deFman irlend mas
handed Us the translation Of Speci-
men OF the "balderdash" upon which
the Dem0kTat Of this city feeds its
subscribers. We the more appreciate
bis kindness because We can readily
see the amount Of labor he must have
performed in order to make even tolera-
BILE English out of the very bad Ger
man which fi.ls the columns of that pa
per. We have seen several articles
translated from the sans sheet by differ
ent German scholars, and they all pre-
sent the same tangled appearance,
proving conclusively to Us that the
muddle exists in their original concep-
tion and print.
II seems we have excited the 6ery
indignation of the DensOErGt (Which,
for some time past, has been in pain
because Of our continued neglect to
notice its silly and vituperative edito'
rials) because, in a pleasant way, we al

krdt AYERS that our article "says little,
but leaves more room for surmising;
and the arguments, if such there we're
any, are to be attributed to bad whisky" I"
What the ninny means, We can not
even guess. We made no argument nor
attempted one. We only stated q fact
that Mr.. Vennemsn was making the
race for Auditor, because Col Rhine
lander would not make him Depnty
Treasurer, and that the Copperheads
we're endeavoring to arouse sympathy
for him by crying persecution.
The Demokrdt proceeds, and we give
its language entire:
The stuff to which the JoURSAL at-
tributes the cause OF the opposition to
Bisch 10 only correct 80 far as v. is con-
cerned, and that B. was the cause OF
him losing the position OF Deputy
| Treasurer, and therefore became can

opposition made by the Democracy.
That opposition is purely party maltes

in this county there will be Democrats

are secondary matters If, instead OF
the /" friend Of the JOURNAL, any other
Black Republican had the Auditor 9
Office, that Know-Nothing- Negro -Tem-
perance paper would have opposed any
other honest, esteemed aud competent
man than Theodore Vennensn.
The Union, or as it should be called,
the Negro-Administration party has
through its Convention, shown that they
meant TO make Of the coming contest a
political one. AS such we take i
is not the man-it is the party we wani
to beat. The Negro-AdministratioE
party have thrown down the gauntlet
the party Of the white man aud of the
people take it up. If the FIRST party
carries on the contest to the bitter end
aud omits nothing to be victorious under
their standard bearer, Col Bisch, SO will
also we be compelled to do the same
under the leadership Of citizen Venne

decided advantage over Us. But whel
