The Germans of washington.

Alta German ratification meeting in Wash
ing city on Saturday night last the follow
ING resolutions were unanimously adopted j:
RESOLVED, That the American republic
consists of o union of free and equal
States.
Besolred, That we, adopted citizens Of
the United States, combat and abhor the
military despotism of the ruling party in
this country just AS much rs that in. the old
country, as there is not only no difference
between the two, but on the contrary the
former is more despicable than the latter,
inasmuch as it emanates from the sons of
once free country.
RESOLVED, That by the recent grant of
the elective franchise to the negroes in this
district and in the southern, States-a pri.
vilege which the most intelligent European
can only obtain after previous residence
of five years-the uncouth and semi barba-
rian black has politically been placed far
above the white emigrant.
RESOLVED, That the blessings of we'll
arranged, civilized state of society, and Of
free political institutions in this hemis
phere, can only be preserved and main
tanned by the supremacy of the European
ulation-eements both in State and
society. 49,
ReSolyed, That the political disfranchise
ment of great number of the whites of
the South, and the elevation Of the African
race ms the ruling element at the homes of
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
and Jackson, is the vilest outrage which
despotic faction has ever committed against
reason, liberty, humanity, and morality.
RESOLVED, That the safety Of the Union
rests in the sovereignty of the European
race. and that alone it is due to the limita-
ton of suffrage to the descendants of
Europeans and emigrants from Europe that
our, till recently, so fourishing States have
been spared the fate of offering to the void
q spectacle Just as hopeless rs the miserable
Indian Mestizo-negro and mulatto republics
of Spanish America.
Resolued, That the reputation of negro
suffrage by immense majorities, even IN
such States which hitherto had been re-
garded as the bulwark of the so-called Re-
publican'' party, irresistibly proves that,
with the exception of horde of corrupt,
unprincipled, specializing politicians, black
"voting CATTLE" and handful of crazy IA
natics, the masses Of the American people,
without party difference, are decidedly
AGAINST the Africanizing process, which
would make the farest portion of these
United States, instead of scene of free
and unchecked development of European
culture and civilization, the stamping
ground of African barbarism and bestiality,
and of a physically, spiritually, and mo-
rally crippled, bastard population.
Reso1red, That we cannot unite with a
party which, by puritanical bigotry and So
called temperance laws, will deprive us OF
liberties and enioyments which even the
most absolute European despotism has not
dared to infringe upon.
ReSolUed, That we greet with JOY ana
pride the nomination Of lIoratio Seymour
and Francis p. Blair. They give US the
guarantee that the dominion Of the SWORD
regime has reached its end, and that the
Goddess of Liberty con again show her
face unveiled in this once SO happy country.
