CIRCULAR.
TIME UNDERSIGNED proposes

VNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
4 political Weekly paper in the German Ian
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Idyiw came into power, and being desirous 10
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Whig party,
he would respectfully state the which, in
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
/. The number Of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium OF intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasng by immigration.
9 The name of Democrats being the appelation
which all the immigrants bsfore their emigration
belonged they do of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appellation in this country,
as soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is 10 use this
misappellation TO the best advantage.
3. Although there a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support 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, are accessible to sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the phi truth, will be able by degrees,
10 overcome preludices, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by its direct influence, az
well as by its influence upon the local Whig pa
pers, now in existence, will, it is hoped, produce
ule desired erect ana gain the ref1ccung and think
ing that is the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over to tho Wing ranks.
8. The undersigned is well aware that be 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 be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, If he sntci
pates satisfactory result.
