''Every Evening" last Thursday in an
article insidiously malicious, pays its con>
plinents to both the great races, the Tue
ton and Celt. The former although ex-
cepting, and protesting, like an equity
draughtsmen, is assailed with malgnan-
cy begotten of long soured Know Nothing
bile. Communism, contempt of law, dis
dain Of our institutions; aptagonism to
Sunday laws, are all charged against the
Germans by "Every Evening" This is
a gross and outrageous libel upon our
German citizens, few of them have con-
tempt for Christianity, if reports speak
truly, deeper than the writer, of the article
in question. Where the German clement
predominates in this country, simplicity
thrift, love of order, prosperity and re-
markable immobility against political Or
religious fanataicism is sure to be found:--
the true foundations of national greatness,
and we'll regulated liberty. If the truth
were freely spoken, Englishmen are almost
without exception, the founders and active
sustainers of the infdel clubs, in our
midst which are the radiating points Of
the unrest called communism. "No
foreigner" says every Evening" not Of
English lineage, has at first any compre-
hensiou of the English and American
idea of liberty" This is the old view Of
twenty one years residence before citizen
snip breaking out again, its injustice, is
equ4lled only by its falsehood.
The Irish are then, with cowardly re-
serya.iop, are held up as a companion
picture of the one already shown. They
are wilful law breakers, they defy openly
and with strong hand the law but;
they are not as bad as the Germans, says
Every Evening" In singular sustainmant
of its views we copy the following from
our cotemporary.
"Woodhull on marriage, Ingersoll on
religion, Matthews, Ewing, Bland and Bill
Kelly on Finance, Kearny and Wendell
Phillips on the rights of labor, and George
Francis Train on all subjects are but
mouthpieces of the one spirit which ami
mates European Red Republicans"
Except Kearny and Kelly, every one Of
the above named, ofEnglish lineage, and
the classification of men of as exalted pri-
vate character, as Matthews, Ewing, Bland
and Kelly,with the Woodhulls, and Train,
the SclAwabs, and the whole crazy tribe Of
beer swllling communists, could only eman-
ate from one who has natural, and ac.
quired hate, of every man who may dis
like the tune every Evening" has been
directed by its mentors to grind out for
the time being at two cents a day. The
bIbed slander against one of our Senators
is apparent, not word can be said against
Mr.. Ewing, or Mr.. Bland save their course
upon the silver bill, and as Senator Sauls-
barry voted with them, he is implicitly
c!assed with communists and Red Repub-
Leans. every Evening" is houudering !:
it knows its influence is 0-hence it al
t,rnate'y plays the parasite, and the scold -,
hoping it may in its gyrations, either OBJ
tain a patron, or a bgoted ally. 1t has
boxed the compass-it has in its time ad>
vocated every form of opinion down to
Nihilism, and it is now slushing around
like pig in puddle, hoping to attach
some disjointed party men 10 its interests.
The great secret of the experimental, and
chunky wisdom, of every Evening"
70 be found in its loss of circulation -
down now, we are credibly informed, below
t,At Of any daily paper in Wilmington ;
Its consequent loss of patronage, and the
