The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1870-09-22

quote only from this weeks issue of
the Crisis:
Louis Napoleon was the only mon
arch in Europe who dared submit his
! pretensions TO govern to the vote ofhe
| people. He has been destroyed, and
/ the sO-called Republicans of this cOun-
/ try rejoice at his ruin. 1t Is not prob
able that any future ruler will subject
his claim to rule to the revision Of the
people; and it is not likely that the
American AbOlitionists who have
I cOnfounded all races and rules viii
have another opportunity to rejoice
over the only exception TO the he
reditary monarchy they desired to s.
tablish here Crisis, Sept q.
Here is another extract from anOth-
er article, zs;inIe. paper, same issue:
The space usually assigned to other
matter in The Crisis is occupied by
details received by telegraph and
mail of the, war in Europe, which
must necessarily affect all classes in

Here is another:
1t has been pretended by some shall
] low people who put forth unseemly
I interest in the war in Europe that they
were justified in so doing, because
France was a country governed by an
emperor. Upon this ground they as
sumed to contribute their sympathy
TO King William, and the Abolition
State Convention went so far as to in
dOPse by solemn resolution one party
to the fearful fray. The French peO-
pie, abandoning all hope in the em-
| pire and its attendants, have pro-
Claimed republic, and declared their
intention to continue tile fight
against King Wiiiiam. Which side
t0iH the .ABleEicG1y A6OlitiOSsists7-tte

take IN this honest lOdr 6etlCecIl Re
publican France and imperial Prussia?
Will such AbolitiOnists as SchurZ and
Sigel and that class of men, go for the
republic they have pretended to lad-
vOcate, or for the Emperor of Germany
they claim to have Opposed2 AS
monarehists in this country and
slaves to wealth everywhere, VIII they
find time to define their positions?
Enough Of this, let US now see aOtdt
effect this persistent Safeguarding Qf
the Democratic press has had upon
German Democrats.
We copy from the Cincinnati Corr
mercidL Of last Monday;
Itis stated that in the seSslen Of tho
COMMITTEES on Platform, Of tire Dem
Oeratic County Convention Of Satur-
day, DR.. Bruhl, one of the committee,
sought to incorporate in the platform
n resolution of sympathy with the
| German cause, similar to the TesOlu-
ton adopted by the Republican Con-
vention. The peremptOry refusal of
the committee to accept this, led the
Doctor to leave in disgust; With the
assertion that he would have nothing
more to do with 4 party that would
thus cOntemptuOusly treat the feel
imgs of our German citizens, whose
hearts are full of sympathy for their
'fFatherland." Many old German
Democrats followed in DIR. Bruhps
footsteps. The Doctor will probably
express his views on this subject sc
the glOrifieation meeting "Wednesday
night, he being one of the speakers, rs
well as President of the Committee
on Aid for the German wounded.
DR.. Joseph s. Unsicker declines to
serve on the Democratic ticket as a
candidate for the Office of Coroner.
From q conversation had with the
Doctor, yesterday, We judge that he
has no inclination to indentify HIM
self intimately with party that can
not sympathiZe with the German peo-
pie in their happiness over the defeat
of France in the present war.
A meeting of New York Germans
was held in New York on Friday
night last, at which General d. Seheir-
mer presided. On tehalf of the Exc
tive Committee, DR.. Magnus Gross
presented an address relative to the
war, which set forth that IS.
While millions of the sons of Ger
many had been instrumental in holp-
ing to hHild Hp .aese States, hundreds
of thousands of them have offered
their blood and lives for the lmainten-
ance OF the Union, while the children
| of France, following their ruler into
the sister Republic, Mexico, attempt
ed to destroy its liberty and indepen-
dence, and thus help to dismember
the Union.
The following resolution was then
submitted;
.ReSOlUed, That the conduct of GER
tain wOuld-be Democratic papers, not
satisfied with the expression of the
strongest sympathies for the French
usurper and aggressOr in the present
war, but coupling it with shameless
IperVersiOn of facts and calumnies and
aspersiOns against the German people
does not only fill us with jastJ indig-
nation and heartfelt contempt, but
that regard for truth, sight and honor
alike would demand of US the sever
ance from any and every political as
sOciation that could or would accept
and follow such an unprincipled mall
iciOus, mean and detestable course as
has been chosen by said wOuld-be
Democratic papers.
The address and resolution tce'e
unanimously adopted.
The German organ of the Demo-
cratic party in Buffalo, the Democrat
contained on Monday last n very
noteworthy article, undoubtedly from
the vigorous pen of its able editor, Dr.
Brunck. We have procured transla-
ton of the article and publish it be-
low, to show the feeling that is astir
among those OF our German born cit
izens who have heretofore acted with
the Democratic party, excited by the
offensive attitude towards Germany
in which the Napoleonic sympathies of
that party haveplaceG it since the out
break of the war between France and
Prussia. German-Ameriean DEM
oerats, says Brunck, are having their
eyes opened, by therevelation of these
passing events, to the reactiOnary,
fossilized, undemocratie character Of
the political party in the United
States with which they were led by
the cheat of a stolen name tOassOciate
themselves. This article discloses the
movement of feeling that is going on
among them. DR.. Brunck is over care
full not to allude in open terms to the
fact that the natural ard spontaneous
Esympathies Ell the Republican party
have been, from the outsetsaof this
war, with Germany, as against Ma
poleonism in France, but the contrast
| is, of course, implied throughout.
THE DEMocRATIC PRESS AND TIE
WAR BETWEEN . GERMANY AND
IFRANCE. r. -
From the Buffalo Democrat, Aug. 81
The obstinate and one may almost
fsay, blind adhesion of a part of the
Democratic press and leaaers to the
old. has been recognized since the
Presidential election OF 1854 as the
reason why the Republican, party
have retained power and govern by
such large maiorities, notwithstand-
ing the people disdpprove. of their
usurpations Of power and corruption.
By their firmly and inAexibly hold
! ing to old party lines, it was to be eX-
pected that the traditions of the DEM
ocratic party, with their old narrow
mindedness, would scarcely exert less
/ influence than their principles them
selves. 1t is known that at the first
