1t could not be expected to reach all Ger
man Republicans with any candidate.
. That although Mr. Greeley would
not have been their first choice, yet 80 in
each loo of all the Democratic Germans,
will support Greeley in preference to [. s.
Grant, while many German Republicans
will do the same wholesome thing.
Nevertheless, it is true, that the Grant
administration papers in this State try to
make it conspicuous in each edition that
| Greeley is a d" Teetotaler," and that, too,
in face and eyes Of the fact that their Re-
publican Legislature passed the Graham
| temperance bill last winter is decidedly
| COOL
Still this "God aud Morality party
wish to say by this intimation of Greeley's
known personal temperance habits, Come
Germans Come. We have nominated our
Circus going drunkard-Grant,' especial
| ly on your account" Who that ever
associated with Germans is so dull as to
think that such arguments would not in
suit the intelligence of every thinking or
reading German, in the whole length and
breadth Of the land.
3. l. there one that does not know that
national Temperance laws are impossible
Is there one who would care whether the
President is inclined to wine or beer, as
they do, or S. T. 1850, Suits best, as we
do, or TO common commissary as Grant
does. 1t is, however, a sad case Of mis-
taken zeal in such Republican papers to
pay the German vote, which they are
angling FOR, the left-handed compliment
that they are worse than the original
American Indian, who, on the introduction
of civilization and whiskcy Immediately
adopted the sagacious plan of zone sober
Indian which in these days, would be
rare sight at the White House, especially
since Grants reign.
4. As to Mr. Greeley's "eccentricities"
or those Of any other man who NAV be
nominated at Baltimore, of which we have
heard so much, we do not propose to dis
cuss at length until after July 9th, yet we
assure all, that the Germans are not irn0r-
ant of the fact that they brought among US
what we natives might denominate as ec
centric and peculiar habits, and each DAVIS
experience proves that we have adopted
some of them, while they are almost I'M
81 h.,
is but natural sequence that we should
more and more assmulate
>. Again the Times saws Greeley is
most dstastefu to the German" Well that
was just our fix III 1856 when we cast our
first rotc for Buchanan. Greeley shrieked
bloody Kansas at Democracy and steadily
opposed the extension of slavery, backing
1t up with arguments that we could never
refate: bat Is our voting sire had acted with
the bunker Democrats in New York, who
collapsed under the leadership of Green c.
Bronson in 1854 we felt it our duty to hold
out against Greeley. He said slavery was
a disgrace to the nation; Democracy sim
pered and suggested "Om' fore, lathers BE-
Gueothed IT,"
In the meantime Stephen A. Douglass
had sugar coated the pill, in the hope
that his remedy might be taken in
either climate and called it 'Squatter Soy
erelgnty' for which Benjamin f. butter
and others rewarded thio s,reo.t ep,nrratir
'~-+9-,'y hfohi"- nm OUT or the Charleston
Convention. Yet we acent for Dourlass
that fall Squatter Soveregnty,as a balm,
proved abortlye in the South In the spring
the South rent for Fort Sumter. War
followed, and half million of men laid
down their lives. In 1868 Lincoln freed
the negro by proclamation, we supposed
this also abortiye until the Chicago Times
made her ONE progressive move in 1867 /
and reproclaimed the negros' freedom.
3. In conclusion let us suggest in case
the Chicago Times, n. Y. UoylA, NiIvau-
kee See Bote and ID. ". Voorhees,
succeed in getting an old line
Democratic nomination at Baltimore
call him Winfield Scott by all means as he
N led the old Wing party in 1852, and, at
the rate We are moving in this are Of
steam and electricity, history will repeat
Itself IN 49, on the Democratic party. In
case ''stupidity' should suicide a. prc-
dlcted the Chicago Times will only be
called upon to bury its own dead in Wis
'onS'n, which from present appearances is
chiefly confined to the Old HelEo,c VoyH Of
ozaukec Co., and one \. Goddard Of
Monroe, Green Co.
The Milwaukee Ncsrs, in our iulomopt
fairly, and with marked tact and ability,
'epresents 30 of the Democracy Of the
Northwest of to-day, and should subse.

Erection indicated by the action Of. the 4
state Conventions of New York, Pcnnsyl-
