I, the undersigned, do certify that during the
period acted as passport clerk in the Department
of State, and while Mr.. Forsyth was Secretary Of
State it was the established rule not to grant pass
ports To colored persons as citizens Of the United
States knowingly. And further certify that upon
the applications Of colored persons for passports,
projections merely were granted to them, stating
their names, that they were free persons of color,
born in the United States, and requesting for them
in all cases of need all lawful aid and protection.
And that with regard to the of the Rev. Peter
Williams, in whose behalf passport was asked by
Samuel Swartwout, esq, under date of 18th of
March, 1896, no mention whatever was made Of
his being free person Of color Mr. Swartwout
stated him to be a citizen Of the United States, and
the passport was accordingly filled up and sent
under the belief Of the Department of State that the
Rev Mr. Williams was white person

Ii seems ~ though there 10 be no end to the
calamities that are Detailing st. LOUIS. No sooner
does the pestilence loosen It's grasp upon u.s. than
we are cursed with gang Of Incendiares, who
seem determined To destroy by confagration what
is left Of our city from the great FIRE IN May. On
Thursday night last the most extensive saw-mill in
st. Louis, together with large quantity of lumber,
consumed by FIRE, and under circumstances
that leave no doubt Of It's having heen the work Of
an mcendiary. The loss was thirteen thousand
dollars, upon which there was an insurance OF but
five thousand The night following no less than
four different attempts were made To ire the city ~
different directions by the same gang OF hends,
The first was made upon the steamer WhIrlwlnd,
by collecting the bedclothes IN the centre OF one of
the slaterooms, setting them on FIRE, and then lock-
ing the doors Of the room. Five minutes longer, and
the flames would have so far extended as To have
placed the rescue Of the boat from destruction be-
yond hope. How many other steamers would have
Teen consumed it is difficult to say, as the Whlrl-
wind was wedged IN between a large fleet that Wy
at our levee The next effort was at midnight,
upon the extensive pine lumber yard OF Messrs
Carr & Rogers; the building IN which was set on
fire and consumed, with all their books, papers,

saved an immense amount Of combustible properly

THE REPU BLIC.
CIRCULAR.

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
political Weekly paper in the German Ian
principles by which The Administrative 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, in
| his estimation, make ii 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
| crcasing by immigration.
! 2. The name of Democrats being the appellation
of the liberal or popular party of Germany, to
which all the immigrants before their em grafton
belonged, they do, Of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellaton in this country,
as soon as they are able 10 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 a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than on 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 misap
prehensions, and by its direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers now in existence, will, it 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, docs not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antici
pates satisfactory result.
