QooA Advice.

AA0 SeAoeo HeAuhNs tne OcEtuuu representa-
tive paper Of New York says:
German Western Republicans have not
the slightest rssson to be thankful for sympa-
thies that are Of no sort Of use to them, while
~ the same time their longing for relief from
the tariff robbers under whom they daily
suffer is utterly neglected. In their Congress-
ional nominations, our Western Germans, we
are sure, will follow the advice rendered even
by such Radical journals as the New York
Evening Post. When the choice lies between
Radical protectionist and Democratic free
trader, throw over the Radical. Who would
trust his purse with notorious pickpocket
because he cried out 'Hochr and 'hurrah! for
King William and Bismarck"
The Zeitung Is sensible. II knows that the
Germans in America have the same interest
In this country that the native born have. The
interests Of all are bound up together. The
party which has played the petty tyrant over
tho lager beer Of the Germans, run its sancti-
monious visage against their Sunday amuse-
ments, and piled up tariffs and taxes innum-
cradle to gouge them of the earnings of their
industry-that party has very little sympa-
thy with any nation, or anything, which does
not put money in its purse. Its sympathy
amounts to little; it is very cheap; and it is q
very late day to attempt to play it for the real
thing. Had it not been for the Democratic
party, the Germans would not have been al
lowed to vote at all. 1t was that party that
beat down Nnow Nothingism under its
feet, and saved to the German his citizen
ship and his ballot. The Democracy have
just come out Of fight in the defense of the
foreign-born, made in Congress to defeat the
new, infamous naturalization law, introduced
and advocated by the Republicans, avowedly
for the purpose Of putting stop to naturali-
zation. One of the worst of these bills passed
the House Of Representatives, and another the
ing laws by the haste and confusion incident
to the close Of a Congressional session. They
did, however, find time to pass n lengthy
amendment to the naturalization laws, throw
ing serious impediments in the way of an ap-
plicant for his papers. The Radicals come
fresh from such a record as this, and now,
confronted with the perils of defeat, ignomini-
ously 60 down on their knees and with dis
graceful sycophancy beg the votes of the very
citizens whom they were attempting to drive
from the polls, not more than three months
ago. This miserable attempt to cajole the
Germans out of their votes is meeting, as we
apprehended, with the contempt it deserves.
The Germans are generally an intelligent
people, and they know who their reliable
friends are and have always been, and who
their real enemies are, and always have been.
1t was the Democracy which enacted the
naturalization law under which they became
citizens. 1t was that party which secured
them an independent Sunday in America
whenever it has been in power, and which has
secured to them the right to eat and drink
whatever they pleased, and which is striving
to give to their industry the security of low
tariffs and low taxes.
