not brook any degree of violence to
the delicate sensibilities Of the lager

think Of woundiDg the feelings Of
such illustrious Dutch peIieansn as
Count Won Hessing and Count Ven
Seigle. They could notfor q moment

coming over the spirit of their dreams.
They see an army of Dutch pismires

Republic. They see the line Of de-

European powers of Republican ten

the European powers of mouarchical

The uni6cation of six or eight
Dutch provinces into q grand empire,
as the rival Of England, is not quite
what they bargained for They hoped,
By the AID Of the Dutch vote, to bridge
over popular election in this coun-
try, the tide of which was fast setting
in against them. They expected their
bull 80 gore Louis Napoleon, and not
the Republic OF France. They ex-
pected to raise the cry upon the
stump this fall Of Democratic SYM
patty with French Catholicism and
French Imperialism. e.--
They did not expect to give tho
Democracy the lead in sympathy with
the grand idea Of republicanizing con-
tinental Europe. Hence their cha
grin.
The Times has pursued the manly
course. The Dutch of this country
have proven q most stupendous fraud.
The records of the War Department
at Washington show one continuous

The Germans and the Democracy.
We publish in another column let
ter written by a Democrat, and pub
lished in the Chicago Times Of Septetn-
Der 18th. The TIMES is the mostinfU-
entail Democratic paper in the West,
and it generally expresses the views
of majority of the Democracy. In
Chicago and Illinois the Germans
have always acted with the Republi-
can party. They have found it to be
the party which has always been on
the side Of freedom and progress.
FREE Soil, FREE SPEECH, FREE
MEN, FREE SCHOOLS aud Free
PRESS have been the Watchwords
of that party. With these inscribed
upon its banners. it has achieved its
great victories. In its battles for
these principles il has had the almost
universal support of the intelligent
Germans In America. The Demo-
cratic party was arrayed and fought In
hostility to every ono of these princi-
pies. This made them the enemies
OF the Republican Germans, aud they
have not forgotten the past. Here 10

as bitterly as ever. They really love
