THE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish n
i political Weekly paper IN the German Ian
guage, In the City Of Washington, in support of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being desirous 90
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
| of Government.
/. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number lie constantly in
creasing by immigration.
2. The name Of Democrats being the sppellation
| of the liberal or popular party of Germany, 10
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country,
soon they are able TO exercise the elective
| franchises and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety il s to this
Interpretation 10 the best advantage
3. Although there are few Wing papers in tho
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 defeat OF the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, accessible TO sound argu-
mcnt, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able by degrces,
TO overcome preIudice-, correct errors and misap-
| prehensiOns, and by its own direct influence, as
well by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pors, in existence, will, il is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that ia the influential, portion of the German
| citizens, over to the Wing ranks.
s. 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 10 be charged
with entertaining too ssnguine hopes, if he antici.
| patcs a satisfactory result
