American state Rights and the
German Question.

Does history constantly repeat itselfi Let us
see. General Robert Lee excuses his treason to
the United States upon the grounds, that as a ma
tive Of Virginia her decision was higher in merit
than any other duty resting upon him. Germany
at present teaches US where such doctrines would
lead to- if made fundamental principle Of national
structure within a confederacy.
Italy also teaches Us the consequences Of an op-
posite theory; not to speak Of France and Eng
land. who already quite long have run thro ugh
their process OF national consolidation.
Germany. ever since her separation from the
Franconan Empire. in the 9Th century, till her
dissolution as an independent Empire in 1904. was
confcderacy. From 1915, by the treaty of vi
emma. till now she was again confederacy. Du-
ring the time from 1904 till 1915, politically, she
was n chaos and presented most humbling spec
tacle for any German. And what is she now?-
Dead is she, most likely never to risesagsin. most
likely to be shared out like Poland to mighty
neighbors. The confederation, existing since
1915, is dissolved by the withdrawal of Prussia
Henceforth We will have, most probably, indepcnd-
ent States, batting each other, and intriguing with
the neighboring nationalities against each other,
unless, as in 1884, 1915 and 1913, once more the
national feeling Of the people-ne national feeling
ing Of the governed canaills-will save Germany
Yes, will save her; but at the expense Of tho de-
struction Of that miserable cast of national para
sites, who do not know but their own pollution:
How could all this come about7 may we'll be in
quired by the investigating mind. BY msconcsp-
tons as to State Rights. by foul ambition Of poll
tcisns who rather saw thsms elves as the heads of
little autonomIes than as servants Of the whole ma
ton, by vanity, by jealousy, by all the springs of
selfshness and of narrow mind. Till 1904 Ger

elected by so-calod Electors. The Electors were
the sovereign be ads, first Of the till then rather
distinct tribes, Saxons, Bavarians. and Franks, &C.

irrespective of tribes. More than once it happened
that Germany was deluged in blood because there

The SsxeIaddlcr.

While the bells are ringing, the cannons below
ing, the flags waving and the multitude shouting
throughout the length and breadth of continent,
while the occasion is rendered more joyous by tho
presence of those who have just laid by the armor
which they buckled on five years ago with the de
termination to wipe the last stain from our national
escutcheon. there is class in our very midst to
whom every little child with his bunch Of fire
crackers must seem accusing spirit-a class
who, like Esau have sold their birthrights for
miserable mess of pott ,gc, and who have no part
nor lot in the glorious privileges which were born
in the darkes. hours Of the revolution and bap-
tized anew in the blood OF the brave men of 1861.
They are aliens in the lsni Of thir birth-foreigu-
ers to their own Observation-Disclosures amid the
familiar associations Of childhood--outlaws upon
whose recrcan brows the mark of Cain is indelibly
impressed.
We do not refer to those lately engaged in arm
ed rebellion against the United States. The rebel
rank and file, charity dictates, should be judged by
the light which they possessed.
Our remarks will not have the slightest allu.ion
to those who have fled from the oppression Of the
old world, for welcome such to home and
equal privileges in this land which has been SOL
EMMY dedicated to freedom, knowing that the exile
feels It's his OWE native sky where our flag waves
over his head. and that he be safely entrusted
| with the guardianship of our liberties.
We speak OF those who, when called to do or die
for liberty, preferred and deliberately chose the
craven's part. For the rebel it may be urged that

institutions had been taught to him by the press,

the "draft sneak" the "bounty jumper" the de-
serer. "knew his duty but did il not" Congress
has wisely provided that such men shall be forever
debarred from exercising any Of the privileges OF
citizenship. They cannot legally vote or hold Of
ice, they cannot sue or give testimony in the
courts they have committed crime which knows
no eIpiation this side of the grave, and their own
children will blush when they remember the pol
lutcd channel through hich their blood has run.
| In any other country such base conduct theirs
would be capitally punished. but perhaps It's well
that they be allowed 10 live as examples OF all that
is contemplate and pusillanimous in human ma.
ture.

Comprehend Representatives Con-
VcEeiOn.

A few delegates, claiming 10 represent the Cop
perheads of Marsha II and Stark counties, met in
this place on Friday last and nominated the
"martyr," ID. E. Vanvalkenbu-g. as a candidate
for Representative in the State Legislature. Thi:
is just as We predicted weeks ago, bu, we suppose
that the Democrat will not give Us any credit for
our prophecy.
There were two other candidates before the
Convention: Hon. VIM. NJ Patterson and DR..
NJ. Confer, both OF this place. The first was long
ago laid on the she If by decree of the Tycoon
The latter, who appeared when first spoken Of to
have some little chance of success. was dropped
like 40. pota.oe when i. became understood that
he being put forward by the Packard wing of the
Democratic buzzlrd. DR.. Confer certainly deserves
something at the hands Of the Copperheads, as he
may be said to have sacrificed as bright prospects
as ever were possessed By any man in Marshall
county for the sake OF his present associates. He
raised company in the early part Of The war for the
Doth regiment. of which he afterwards Asst.
Surgeon. When he came home in 1864 he could
have commanded the support of the loyal men OF
Marshall county for any position he could have az
PRED to. But early associates gathered around
and seducec him to use the military knowledge he
had acquired in the service Of his country to drill
Copperheads who were then preparing to resist the
draft. He did all that any could do to con-
vince his old friends that he was as good rebel as
any of them, but the tycoon can never forgive a
man or be induced to trust one who has ever worn
the blue.

The Protestant clergy is not better They have as
as many Popes as there are State sovereigns. The
monarch appoints the Protestant clergy to their
places. They are dependant upon him for subsist-
ance, and according to the proverb, "whose bread
eat, his song sing" do they teach that fidelity to
the individual prince is commanded by God, that he
governs by the grace of God. and that he is so ap

So il is evident that, the prince being the state,
there is Germ my, but only geographical idea.
What does it matter that Russia or France or HOl-
laud or Denmark has piece Of German soil, more
or less1 What does it matter that the people who
speak German have no political power in the
world, and that the country's sons wander in the
earth, not as Germans, but Prussians, B.varians
or Austriansl What does it mater that our beau
tful and classical language is narrowed to a less
and less number who speak it, till, finally il is only
known to the few like the Latin, that the genius
of German poesy will want a Russian or French
passport in its spiritual iourneyingsl We will have
to die as a nation ike other nations have died;
would only that we died at least with dignity.
Shame on Austria who wishes TO hinder the march
Of Italian nationality. Shame on Prussia who is
going to sell piece Of German soil. But you

selves Democrats. think on Germany before you

We commend to general perusal the speech o.

triotic and practical of the public men OF the ma
ton, and his opinions and counsel are at all times
entitled TO weighty consideration.
In this speech, he wisely steers clear Of all fac
tious issues which tend to create n division within
the Republican party, and pays his respects solely
to the one great enemy Of the Republic and Of the
Republican party. namely, the Democratic patty
and concludes by exhorting the "Union men of In
diana not to suffer themselves to be enticed from
the consideration of the great question by side is
sues which Democratic politicians busily en-
gagged in thrustng forward" He truly says, the
interests at stake too vast and vital TO be en-
d.ngered by division in own ranks upon imma-
terial questions, or by bringing forward matters
which. although they may be important in them
selves, can gain nothing by being pressed at a

why tho COpperheads Oppose
the Amendment.

The Copperhead leaders and their organs are
deadly hostile to the Constitutional Amendment
recently proposed to the States by Congress. They
profess to base their opposition to it because it

true, the right to vote, and makes him the equal
ofthc white man. So far rs equality is concerned,
we should SANDER the darkey five were to assert
that disloyal Copperhead, North or South, was
his equal. But this is not the real cause of the
opposition OF Copperheads. They oppose the
amendment, LIST, because il makes a Northern
white equal in political power to n Southern
white man; ID. because it disqualifes certain

perheads themselves do that we're they now in pow

the accessories of the men who assassinated Lin
coin, but would proclaim general amnesty to all
rebels,-let the vilest of them take seats in Con-
gress--and assume the rebel debt without the least
h esitation.
