CIRCULAR.

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
4 political Weekly paper in the German Ian
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being desirous to
obtain the aid and operation 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.
1. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number il constantly in
creasing 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 emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country,
as soon they able to exercise the elective
franchise; and the more 80, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is this
interpretation to the best advantage.
8. Although there are a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally a local character,
age than on their subscription lsts they do gene
rally stand fall with the success defeat of the
Whig party in their particular section
:; 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 own direct influence, as
well by its influence upon the local Whig 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
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 to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antici
pates a satisfactory result

BLACKwOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.
PREMIUMS TO NEW suBscRInERs!


nwING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
~ lutions among the nations Of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "ths end is not ye the leading peri
odicals Of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoipt-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises to
be furnished by the historian at a future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem il proper 70
call renewed attention TO these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered 10
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, Wing, and
Radical. " Backwood" and the " London Quar-
terly' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal. The
/" North British Review" owes its establishment TO
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and il not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments Of human knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmcrs, and now. since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, DIR. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is of TIE very highest order. The "West
minstcr" " though reprinted under that title only, is
published in England under the title Of the " For
eign Quarterly and Westminster IL being, in
fact, a union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. II has, there
FORE the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in work the best features OF both az heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers, in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper
and faithful copies OF the originals, Backwood's
Magazine being an exact fae-siHis Of the Edin-
burgh edition.
