The Chicago Times, of yesterday,
joins the Democratic howl against
Prussia, thus:
What is Prussia? Originally o small
principally, 1t has extended its present
dimensions by the use of the sword. It has
acquired its present area as it acquired the
Duchtes four years agO-by taking them.

So earnest is the Cincinnati Demo

that it closes a business letter to a
book house in this city, yesterday.

We have made the extracts pretty
full. that there may be no mistake
about the feeling of the Democracy
against the Germans. Those who
have the opportunity of seeing the
Democratic papers will notice that
they almost uniformly follow the
same track. The Germans are con-
demned as false. ambitious, dishonor-
able. and France supported as wise,
just, and properly sensitive to her
interests.
What puts a political party in the
United States, three thousand miles
of, 50 completely in antagonism to a
people with whom they have no con-
Germ, upon a question of which they
evidently know nothing? We will see.
LIST. Napoleon sympathized fully with
the rebellion. He projected his Mex
lean expedition in the hope of the
success of the rebels. He received
their minister as q friend. He sold
them war vessels. He gave them re-
fuge in his hsrbor. The Demo
Gratis recognize him as the friends of
their friends. That is one reason.
I'd. Napoleon is a Catholic and Prus-
STA is Protestant. The Irish element
of the Democracy is governed by its
religion entirely. 1t neither knows,
nor cares to know, anything of politi-
cal convictions, policies, or influences.
1t goes as its church goes. And the
Catholic Church is almost without
exception, in clergy, laity, and reli-
gious orders, Democratic. The Irish
element cannot be, and never is, re-
sisted. This is the life and blood and
body of the party. Take it out, and
there is not enough Of Democracy
left to kick. Thus the Democracy is
arrayed solely against the Germans.

defended III western frontier almost
unaided for a time. They never de-
serted or lodged duty. and they made
their mark at the polls as we'll as on
the field. And the Democracy have
not forgotten it. Their sympathies
go with a Catholic power that was
the friend of the rebellion. And
that's what's the matter. and all that's
the matter. Senator Morton alluded
to this shameful partisan feeling in
his speech at Terre Haute, which we
publish in full this morning. He
said what everybody knows to be
true, that the Republican party sym
pathized with the Germans in this
conflict. and the response was such a
shout of applause as has rarely been
heard at any meeting in this country.
Read what he says, and read the
whole speech, for it will make its
mark in this political campaign.
