TNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish n
l. political Weekly paper in the German lam
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support Of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Tdyiu came into power aud being desirUus TO
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasJns which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
| Of Government.
/. The number Of those " no use the German lam
guage az their medium of intercourse is upwards Of
| Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
| creasing by immigration.
.. The name of Democrats being the appellatiou
| 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 sppcatOn in this country,
as soon "a they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more 20, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety It is " this
mlsHp pcllation 30 the best advantage.
3. Although there are lew Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand or 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-
mcnt, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the PLAIN truth, will be able, by degrees
TO overcome prcJodices, correct errors and misap
prehensiUns, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local WhiV pa
peers, now in 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 10 be charged
with entertaining too sauguine hopes, If he antic
pates a satisfactory result.
