Although the fire Of last week vas Q

turned to the general advantage Of the

age aud a much larger landing. The
wharf at present is scarcely Sufficient for
the existing business Of tho city, and will
be, in less than two years, entirely mad.
cquato. The space made vacant By the
fire, is exactly the point needed for that
purpose, aud the local authorities should,
BY all means, purchase and grade it to the
river. No other public improvement
would DO moro advantageous to tho COM
mvnity, aud at no time can il DO purchased
on as reasonable terms as at present. The
owners Of tho property will, no doubt, join
in this movement for the general welfare
indeed several Of them have expressed
a willingness to SCH OF o sacrifice should
the city desire to purchase. Let tho citi.
gems then take the matter ia hand, impor-
tune the authorities, and, if that DO not

qhe real lisa es of,the campaign.

Let tho real question at issue in this
campaign be kept constantly ia mind. -
That question isnot uhetdcr, in all,oases,
Republicans have acted with the greatest
wisdom, nor whether all members Of the
Republican party are pure end uprighk
but whether, taking all 10 all, the Repub-
lican party or tho Democracy may DO most
safely intrusted with the future direction
of affairs. On this questionable broad
ground we take is simply thia; that no
party that is, as q party, identified With
the electoral frauds Of New York; that
openly denies the validity Of tho amond-
ments to tho Constitution; that would re-
open all the issues settled by the EaC that
confessedly 'hatbors tue dUsign Of rcpudia-
ton con be safely trusted with political
power. The integrity of Republicans, rs
individuals, is at least equal to the intcg-
rity Of Democrats. Tho integrity Of Re-
publicans, as members Of a political organ.
ization, is immcasurably superior to to the
political iategrity Of their opponents. It
is precisely because as party, The Dem
ocfssie, party is corrupt in alliance with
bad men, in open profession Of bad priu-
ciplos, that Democratic victory would be
j scandal and reproaeh, dangerous alike
to the national faith and Che national safe

WIZ GERMANS SHOULD BE RE
PUBLlCANS.

An exchange gives the following rea-
sons why our German ,citizCns should all
be Republicans. ghcy arc generally
sound:
1. Because the Republican tpapty is tie
only real Democratic party in this coun-
3. Because the Republican party .Laa
occurred BY treaty the release Of al Ger
man citizens, from .taeiriformcr allegiance,
and has pledged tho whole power Of the
government for their protection wherayer
our aag floats, whether IN this country or
any othos.
s. Bcesssc hc,ReppSlican party is the
only organization in this county pledged
40 maintain the freedom Of all citizens,
without distinction ofrace or nationality.
A. Because the Republican party BY its
councils and by four years dgLtipg shout
der to shoulder vita thousands Of patriotic
uNturaliEed citizens preserved The Repub.
lie, and secnred the eontingance Us q refuge
for the oppressed Of oil lands forever.
IS. Because tho Republican party se.
moved the oblnquy which. rested .upon,ail
labor in the South because Of slavery, aud
opened that part Of our country to sclf.ro,
specting industry Of all lands.
5. And finally not to go into detail
further as the hundreds. Of reasons thai
might be urged. because the Republican
party is tue party Of liberty and progress
The friend Of order, aud tho security o
