The German American United Asso-
citation OF the United States, which has
established its Headquarters at the
Germania assembly rooms, in New
York, represents the German rcpubli-
cans Of twenty-tllrce different cities Of
the Union--among them Boston, Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Cincin-
natl, Memphis, New Orleans, Rich
mond and Charleston. The central ex-
ecutive board of this organization has
just issued circular, in which is set
forth what we believe the real senti-
ment of the majority of our German
fellow-citizens to be.
The New York members Of the AS
ISOLATION are chiefly well-to-do mer-
chants, comprising many of the most
estimable German citizens, all of whom
regard the republican party as the re-
preventative of true democractic doc
trine, and promptly enroll themselves
under Its banner. The German people
of that State have not forgotten, AID
will not forget, the long warfare wag-
ed against them by Horace Greeley,
who found in the national customs and
the character Of the German race, moth
ing which was worthy, but everything
that was bad. He and his hackers are
now trying to curry favor with these
staunch republicans in the hope of win
ming their votes-but the Germans
memory is a long one, and he never
fogets an insult.
The following is their circular, adj
dressed to their fellow-countrymen:
"The republican party rescued the
country when the democracy plunged
it into the red sea of secession and re-
bellion."
"The republican party achieved the
most glorious victory of our enlighten-
ed country, by abolishing slavery,
granting equal rights and peace to ALL"
The republican party introduced
civil service reform, adopted the eight
hoursystem of labor in the public ser.
vice, and while protecting the natural
lied citizens from the claims for for
cign allegiance, it acts justly and fairly
toward both settlers and Indians"
1T was the republican party which
magnanimously treated the rebels and
secured the adoption Of those noble en-
actments, the civil rights and amnesty
BY their fruits ye shall know them"

Col. John w. Hammond of Prairie
City, Jasper county, as our people well
know, was prominent Candidate for
Treasurer Of State, before the Repub-
lican Convention, on the 2lst inst
He received the warm support Of this
county and got good vote from the
State at large. He was however un-
successful, but he lie too good Repub-
lican and too sound and honorable a
gentleman to get sore-headed because
of his failure. He edits the Prairie
City linden, and we clip the following
from his editorial upon the ticket:
"The ticket nominated at Des Moines
on last Wednesday, is number one
1t would be difficult to select SO many
candidates again with more fairness or
unamnity. So far as the convention
was concerned, there was absolutely
nothing, SO far as we know, Of which
any defeated candidate could complain,
however unfair individual delegates
may have acted"
"The present State officers renomi-
mated need no introduction from u.s.
They have been tried and found not
wanting. There are only two new
men, Josiah T. Young for Secretary of
State, and VIM. Christy for Treasurer.
We are fully satisfied that they are
good men, that they will honor the
trust reposed in them and that the
party will never have occasion to re-
greet having selected them for positions
upon the State ticket"
No man can complain of unfair
ness in their nomination. There was
no trick, no game. They had worked
hard for their places and being worthy
deserved them, on the principle that
effort should be rewarded by success"
Col. Hammond shows in the above
Just what we always claimed for him,
viz: the real nobility Of the man and
his complete worthiness of support
from the hands of his party.

John +. Duncombe, of Fort Dodge,
is an Independent Candidate for Con.
gress, in the 9th District, against the
Hon. Jackson Orr, the Republican
Candidate.
John r. Duncombe, is man Of con-
siderable ability, and runs upon the
hope that he may gain votes upon q
local question, in that District. The
ejectment of hundreds of settlers upon
lands which belonged to the Des
Moines River Navigation Company,
has created extended and bitter feel
ing. These people ought to have re-
dress and steps have been taken by Mr..
Orr to that end, but Duncombc as an
Attorney has long been in the employ
of these settlers and he thinks he has
so many and such strong friends among
them that he @n get large share of
their votes, regardless of their politi-
cal views. He is woefully mistaken.
Duncombe has one of the very worst
rebel records, Of any of our northern
men, and in fact should never hold an
Office at the hands of the American
people, for he was of tho north and
without an excuse for his tratorous
words. These are plain words, but
painfully and strictly true. Duncombe
will be told to remain ut home, by q
majority of from COCO to 10000.
