FACTS FOR THE, GERMANS.


The wig and ReGister of Yesterday
morning, contains n characteristic article
upon the present war in Europe, i'm which
1t takes special pains to heap needless
abuse upon the Germans Hear what it
says:
The whole world begins to side with France
in feeling, and to deSpise the ra,,dQlisBs and
ambition of Prussia. Beautiful France is near
ly n desolation and still the crocned tramplcr of
her vineyards proceeds on his triumphant
march Of ruin. He has crowded more sorrow
and desOlation into three months than any other
conqueror ever before crowded into many
years. g There is nothing D,edBor in the
history of civilized warfare than the destruction
ofSt Cloud. @ The latest information
ace have is that the Prussan soldiers gut tie
to,ons as they occupy them, and subject the
starving inhabitants to the groSSet iqSU(tS.'
These extracts show what the the Wig
and Register thinks of the Germans nOU.
Though the proprietors of the present Reg
istcr are not the same that controlled the
Register in 1868 yet, as they assumed the
nd,l with such flourish, they may fair
ly he supposed to assume its record. More
especially is this assumption fair, when
we find them nOW pursuing the Germans
with the same vindictiveness that I'll ir
predecessors did in 1868. And as it may
be interesting to our numerous German
fellow-citizens now residing in our midst
and forming 80 large, respectable and use
lul vi Jul W hiiON
what was said of them in the past, we
copy the following choice extracts from
the Daily Register, of Friday, June 18th,
1868. We extract from an editorial
"What is to be done with the Dutch ?"
The plundering thieves captured by For
rest who stole half the jewelry and watches in a
dozen counties of Alabama were immaculate
DUtchmei.
'The national odor of Dutchmen, as distinc-
tire of the rqce as that which, constantly ascend
L. I u
of the negro, is rs unmistakable as that peculiar
TO pole cat an old pipe, or lager beer saloon.
Crimes thCftS and insults to the women of
the South iHrdridbly mark the course Of these
stiaking bodies of animated sour hrodt
ITO this hOrrjd Fdco, whose science and re-
ligion have resolved themselves into transcen-
dental mysticism, and whose morals are incul-
Gated in dtheiSticai Turner'S associations, we
are mainly indebted for the h0fTibie Jarbarities
10 which our people are subjected" @ .
1T happens that we entertain a greater respect
for an Ethiopian in the ranks of the Northern
armies than,for an odoriferons D1ttchman, who
can have no possible interest in this revolution.
The Dutchman has more intelligence than the
negro and infinitely less of those good qualities
which attach men TO their dogs and slarcS
The interference of the broad-bottomed
Hieces and iat-headed ktdves should be made
| to cease, and mode of eilecting this occurs to
us. Why not hang every Dutchman captured ?
Why should we not hang Dutchman
| who deserves less of our sympathies than
! SambO2 An abolition madman would
| invert Gods laws but blear-eyed, broad
bottomed Dutchman invades the South solely
as a ro6ber. The live masses of beer,
krout, tobacco and rotten cheese, which on two
| legs and four on foot and mounted, go prowling
through the South should be used to manure tie
! sandy plains and barren hHsidcs Of Tennessee.
! They were sent hither because Europe was over
run by them. They 1rere there as here, unmit-
| igated nuisances.
! Such were the sentiments of the Register
in 1868, and they seem, in a measure, at
! least, To be shared by the Wig and Regis
ter of 1870. These facts should be suggest
! i've to our German readers as to who are
their friends. The Wing and Register says
of their brothers, fathers and sons of the
! German armies, forced into war by the
INSCRIPTIONS ambition of Napoleon "The
latest information oc have is that the
| Pjyssjdn soIoie,y gut the tOtcns and subject
| the stGrring H0hdbitdnts to the GRossEsT
INSULTS" We might add that the Wing
and Register, and other Democratic papers,
are the only papers that hear such bJorDtd-
tioa. The Chronicle has never publish
ed such news, for the simple reason that
! we never before heard of it,
