They felt in their own land. Among these immigrants, who have formed a very valuable part of the population of the United States, have been many political exiles, who have been the special Object of the despotic measures that have occasionally threatened to stifle the national life of Germany during the present cen tury and it is impossible to overlook the almost infallible accuracy with which the German police put their hand on those young men who, under different circumstances, have shown themselves able to shed glory on the land of their adoption, as well as on that Of their birth.
