THE APPLICATION OF AMERICAN
LOYALTY WITH THE CAUSE OF GER
MAN UNITY.

SSA> - ~>~
MAN UNITY.
While William of Prussia and Napo
leon of France are moving their armie:
toward deadly strife, more peaceful
hut no.. less decided and earnest conflict
grown on, of tina. sanguinary war, has
arisen between the great political par.
ties of the United States. 1nstinctively
the loyal masses Of the American people
have ranged themselves upon the side oil
Prussia and with qaite as much una
nimity the enemies of Republican pro-
cress have taken sides with the cause OF
the Empire. This is natural and, in
one respect, at least, it is becoming, as
az evidence of gratitude. Our foreign
citizens, quite as much citizens as we
Who are native born, cannot divest ,hem>
selves of a sympathy for Fatherland.
Are we who have lived so long upon
The shores of the Pacific, any less Amer
icsn, any less heartily Californiaus or
Nevadaus because we cherish a love for
the scenes and Interests and reminiscent
ces of the States and sections of the
Union where we first saw light? What
class of native born citizens are better,
more intelligent, patriotic and thrifty
than the Germans? Why, indeed, is
not the universal sympathy of the Ger
man element in the United States right
y and commercially upon the side OF
Prussia? Their allegiance is due to
cur flag and they have shown most
gallan,ly their ability and willingness to
rally to its support. Siegel and Oster
haus and Bleaker and Ashbo,h are
names not easily to be forgotten ; and
the muster roll Of our armies displays
the names of whole regiments and brig
AIDES Of German soldiers. Hence the
naturalnes Of their sympathy hence
the becoming sense of our display of
gratitude.
That the late rebels aud their allies
should lean toward the cause Of Napo-
.son, is not to be wondered at; hardly
70 be deprecated. Their most efficient
riiy, next to England, was Napoleon.
The attempt at establishing the Empire
of Maximiliiau, was serious diversion
!, favor of the Confederate cause and
when that cause became a lost one, the
:.agerics remnants of the Franco Aus
,riao Empire was an inviting refuge to
Dlke Gwin and his disheartenec fellow
rebels.
Let US then, exhibit our honest and
honorable sympathies in the directions
toward which they naturally trend. Let
IL be ou,spoken, frank and earnest. Let
~ of Nevada fail not in our forthcoming
declaration Of principles speak cur SEN
iimrn,s regarding this great conflict
Let us emulate tho example set us by
the Republicans of Ohio, who 10 con.
ventiOu assembled promulgated the fol-
lowing stirring and manly sentiments
Resoired. That. adherins to our tradition
al policy Of neutrality, the American people |
look with profound indifference upon Euro
pean controversies, regarding dynastic inter- |
csts merely, and are concerned in the pres |
ent struggle between Germany and France |
only SO far as the same involves the great !
Of liberty, And while we remem- |
Der thai the great uprising Of 1878 failed of
success mainly for want of Germanic union, |
hat during our recent national trial the peo- |
,'le Of Germany supported our cause with |
their sympathy and material aid, while the |
armies Of France were endeavoring to SUBJ |
vert republic on this continent and establish |
in lis stead an imperial throne. we cannot /
,efrain from declaring our sympathy with |
The present heroic efforts Of the Germans to
establish, maintain and defend their national |
sniiy.
Will the Democracy dare to propund |
