TNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes 10 publish
l. political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City of Uashington in support OF the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS 10
obtain the aid and cooperation OF the Wing party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, IN
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government
/. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
2, The name of Democrats being the appelation
OF the liberal or popular party OF Germany, to
which all the immigran 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 il is TO this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
g. 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 on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the success or defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
A. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprighncss, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
to overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
prehensons, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, 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 does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antici
pates satisfactory result.

QUEER PRoPENsITY.-It was announced few
days ago. that young mau, son of the Rev. J. N.
Sprsgue had seized lady in the streets of Brooklyn,
threw her down and stole the shoe from her foot which
was afterwards found in the pocket of his coat. The
father of the young man has published a letter in
which he says. that from early boyhood this son has
evinced strange propensity for getting possession of
the shoes of the female part of the family This pro-
pensity was not steady. but periodical. As early as
at thirteen or fourteen years it developed, the
fact being notorious the family only. but to the
domestics Sometimes shoe would disappear
sometimes the pair and they were discovered in the
sons pocket in bis trunk his bed. his room, and sly
concealed in various other places. This is the

The News FROM HUNGARY. The foreign news
which appears in another place in to-days paper,
of the most extraordinary and startling character
1t announces the utter downfall of the Hungarian
cause, and with it of course the last hope of liberal
government in Europe ut least for the present This
result, coming upon it does, sudden, so un-
looked for, and SO overwhelmingly disastrous is well
calculated to excite feelings of profound establishment
ahd sorrow. Up to the time of the arrival of these
fatal tidings, scarcely temporary reverse to
have checked the gallant Mngyars in their crusade
for liberty and for national life. The news by the
previous steamer led to believe that Kossuth and
BEN, Dembinski and Georgy, were everywhere smit-
ing the hirelhg sodery of the despoc Nicholas, as
if welding inspired swords, and holding commissions
from God to ayenge the accumulated wrongs Of ages,
and lberate the Nations. 1t led US to believe that
the Russians and Austrians had been driven from
Hungarian territory, that the t.oops of Hungary
were soon 10 make offensive against Aus
tra, and that commissioner to arrange peace had
already been despatched from Austria the Hunga-
rian Diet. The pulse of freemen everywhere beat
HIGH while the heart involuntarily invoked bles
ing on the brave Hungarians and their righteous
cause Then comes tine sweeping announcement by
the niagara. Georgy surrendered and mploring
mercy for himself and his army at the hands
Of the tyrants Kossuth and BEN fled into Tur-
key Dembinski beseechng the people to resist
no more. What has produced all this fatal misfor-
tunei One of three things about it rust be true -
there has been reuchery the part of the Hungarian
leaders; or, the is untrue; or else the former
accounts of Hungarian victories have been greatly
exaggerated. To clear this mystery up, we must
await another steamer. In the meantime, cannot
withhold curses, loud and deep, from England and
France, the great neutral powers Of Europe, for
standing by and seeing Despotism prevail Liber-
~ without word of remOnslrnnce, or effort in its
behalf But we have an abiding faith that though
the cause of liberty and constitutional government
may be betrayed and crushed for time. it must rise
again.
