THE REPU BLIC.
CIRCULAR.

rINHE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish
l. political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington, isupport of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, I'M
his estimation, make 1t desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government
l. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
g The name of Democrats being the appellation
of the liberal or popular party of Germany, to
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellaton in this country,
as soon as they are able to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is to this
Interpretation TO the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the success defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
to overcome prejudices, correct errors and msap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, i'll existence, will, il is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over to the Wing ranks.
5. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles To overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
of the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise, does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antici
patcs satisfactory result

The publishers respectfully invite attention to the
following eminent testimony TO the excellence OF
this standard dictionary.
The execution of this Dictionary fully answers
TO its title. The VOCABULARY Is probably more
comprehensive than that Of all preceding English
Dictionaries united Constant reference Is made To
AUTHORITIES with respect 10 words newly nitro
duceoHand is taken 10 note such are techni-
cal, foreign, obsolete, provincial, vulgar. The
DEFINITIONS are clear and exact, and those per
tanning TO technical and scientific terms are spe-
cally valuable To the general reader. The author
has evidently bestowed great labor on PRoNuNcIA-
TIoN. His system Of Notation which IL easily UNI
dcrstood, and founded on more complete anal ysls
of the vowel sounds than we have elsewhere met
with, together with his plan of exhibiting all the
best English authorities IN relation TO words differ
entity pronounced by different orthoepiss, gives to
| this work important advantages a Pronouncing
| Dictionary. In oRTHoGRAPHY he has made no ar
| bitrary changes, but where usage is various and
iuctuating, he has aimed 10 be consistent, and TO
reduce to the same rules words oil similar lorna
ton. The insertion of Grammatical forms and'in
| Elections of words to much greater extent than
| they given in other English DICTIONARIES, and
the short critical notes ON the photography, the pro-
| nunciation, the grammatical form ana construc-
ton, and the peculiar, technical local, and Aner-
can of words interspersed through the volume,
| give 10 this work much additional value. The CO.
! pious Vocabulary Of Modern Geographical names,
with their pronunciation, and greatly enlarged
| and improved edition of Walkers Key To the pro-
nunciation of Classical and Scripture proper names,
are important appendagcs to the Dictionary.
Eighteen months have passed since this Dictionary
was published; and its already extensive USE both
| among cultivated English readers, and men of wide
| learning, affords good testimony of its merits. We
confidently recommend it as containing an ample
and careful view of the present state OF our Ian
| guage.
