DEMOCRATIC LOVE FOE GERMANY.
a Few Extracts From the New York
World. the Leading Organ OF the
Democratic Party.

The New York Tribune has an in
teresting compilation of contemptuous
and insulting paragraphs to the Ger
mans and the cause of Germany In
the present war, taken from the col
umns of the World, the leading DEM
ocratic newspaper of the country.
We republish a few SO that our Ger
man friends can see how great is the
love the party bears for them which
is now trying to use them to get hold
of the offices IN this country:

GERMANY IN THE WRONG.
But whatever form the matter may
take (the Hohenzollern candidature),
it is plain that IN permitting it to be
brought forward Prussia has commit
ted terrible blunder, and conferred
upon Napoleon an immense benefit.
If the issue be war, it will be war in
which Prussia will appear as the ag-
gressor. and as an aggressor inspired
not by any noble zeal for the national
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of Germany, but by
an antiquated and anti-social impulse
of mere dvnastic ambition. It will be,
so far as Prussia is concerned, not a
war of the people but war of the
palace.

pRUssIA's CONDUCT DIsCREDITABLE.
There appears to be little doubt to-
day that the Prussian Government
has replied to the demand of France
for an explanation of the relations of
Prussia to the Hohenzollern candi-
dacy, and that the reply Of the Prus-
sian Government is of such nature
that il would put Prussia before the
world in an attitude neither imposing
nor brilliant, - Such a
reply as this can impose on no one
out of Prussia, and it is not likely to
blind the intelligent people of Prus-
STA themselves to the discreditable
conduct of their rulers.

WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME?
There are no limits to the patriotic
enthusiasm developed at these meet
ings. From Senator Schurz down to
the huns6leSt Uotdry of pipe and pot
who listens, glowing with an ancient
inspiration and q sense of wrong" to
his enkindling oratoTy our German
fellow citizens present but single
front to the foe. Prussia has seen,
has heard, and heeds them. She
throws open to them, with a truly
liberal hand, the gates of glory or the
grave. The mere fact that her
steamers are withdrawn from the
ocean at the moment when she
invites their assistance need In
no wise damp their ardor. The
Atlantic is cloven weekly with
many keels of British steamers
which for the most part go eastward
empty, or nearly empty, of second
class passengers. With these steam
ers contracts may easily be made for
the conveyance out of any number OF
Germans, without violating England's
neutrality, to ports like Liverpool or
Southampton. From these ports YES
sells can be hired again, if the North
Sea and the Baltic be closed by
French cruisers, to carry the German
crusaders to LeghOrn or Genoa.
whence nothing will be easier for
them than to find their way into Ger
many over the Alps.

GERMANS IN AMERICA HAVE NO RIGHT
TO REJOICE OVER THE VICTORIES OF
! FATHERLAND.
That Germans in America should
wish victory to sit upon the standards
of Germans battling in Europe, IS
praiseworthy, perhaps, and natural
enough; nor is it quite unnatural or
wholly blameworthy that Germans In
America should be a trifle uncriJical
In estimating the merits of any cause
for which Germans In Europe may
draw the sword. But it is not natu-
raj and not praiseWorthy that men of
any origin who have divorced them
selves from the duties, and shaken off
| the burden of European nationality,
to assume the privileges Of American
citizenship. should work themselves
up into such fever of war-like en-
thusiasm over the projects of a mill
tary monarchy as makes them rival
the subjects of its crown in their pro-
testations of fealty to its king, and in
their demonstrations of hostility to
its foes.
