TNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish n
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guagc, in the CITY Of Harrington, in support of the
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Taylor came into power and being desirous to
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
of Government.
L. The number of those who use the German Lam
guage their medium Of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
crcasing by immigration.
2. The name of Democrats being the appellation
Of the liberal or popular party of Germany, TO
which all the imrfii grants before their emigration
belonged they do, of course, range themselves ith
the party bearing that appelation in this country,
as soon as they are 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 to use this
interpolation 90 the bsst advantage.
3. Although there are few Whig 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 defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
rnent, and paper conducted with uprightncss, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able by degrees,
10 overcome prcJudices, correct errors and msap-
prchensions, and by it's own direct influence, as

pors noHi 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.
8. 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 entorprise does not fear 10 be gcd
with enter tainine too sanguino hopes, If he antci
pates a satisfactory result.
