CIRCULAR.

V,HE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
il political Weekly paper in the German Lam
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Thylor came into power, and being desirous 10
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Whig 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.
l. The number Of those who use the German Ian
guage az their medium Of intercourse upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasng by immigration.
q 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 appellation in this country,
as soon as they are able 20 exercise the elective
franchise; and the more 90, as the country teens
with Democratic papers IN the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety IL is 10 this
Interpretation 10 the best advantage.
g. Although there arc 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 or fall with the defeat Of the
Whig party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu,
ment and a paper conducted with upnghtness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
20 overcome preJudices, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by iis own direct influence, a.
well as by its influence upon The local Whig pa
=
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing that IL the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over 10 the Whig 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 whig party, on account OF the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise does not fear 70 be charged
with entertaining too sanguinc hopes, II he sntic
pates a satisfactory result. -

BLACKWOOD's MAGAZINE

PREMIUMS TO NEW suBscRIBERs!

PREMIUMS TO NEW 5UBSCRIBERS.
OWING TO the late revolutions and counter revo-

have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "he end is not yet" the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoip l.
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous reatses 10

American Publishers, therefore, deem il proper to
call renewed attention TO these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered to
subscribers The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKwoOD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. "Blackwood' and the " London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the edinburgh Review" Whig;
and the " Westminster Review" Liberal. The
Z" North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland

published in England under the title Of the " For

fact, union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. Ii has, there

ADDITIONAL.

To the above noticed testimonials the following
extract is offered, from recently received from
Captain Thomas Carberry, one of our early citi.
zens, distinguished for his general and active be-
nevolence. Among the every remarkable cures
to which he alludes were several malignant and
extensive diseases of the skim which the vapor bath
brings TO the surface, instead of effectng temporary
cure; or, still worse, acting as dangerous repel-
liant, to which liniments &C., are liable
''During my late inspectorship Of the United
States penitentiary the benefits derived from the
use of your vapor Bath, in almost miraculously
arresting the progress of dangerous, malignant
epidemic, and performing other remarkable cures,
elected the warm appreciation of the late Drs.
Thomas and Scott at the time physicians of the in
stitution, and rendered, in my opinion the value OF
the invention incalcuable."
