1t will be seen by the foregoing official announce
ment, that the 18th day Of June has been fixed upon
for the meeting of the Democratic State Convention
to nominate candidate for Governor.
BY the 18th of June the roads will be in good or
der-the Superior Courts will be overland the su,
preme Court will be in session in this place. Be-
tween this time and that ALSO Democratic friends
can hold Meetings in all the Counties, compare
notes. make up their minds to the best course to
be pursued and govern themselves accordingly.
In addition to this, it strikes good policy to
let the Wings meet and act first, They have had
the State Governments fourteen years, and we have
therefore right to expect that they will assemble
in advance of us, and give an account of their
stewardship And besides, they have contributed,
party, to chill the feeling in this State in favor
of the Nashville Convention. Prominent leaders
among them, and majority of their presses, have
not only ridiculed that Convention, but denounced
it reasonable and revolutionary and its friends
and advocates agitators and Disunionsts By this
course they have inflicted injury upon their own
State and upon the South generally. and given aid
encouragement, and comfort to the enemies of the
Union and of our domestic institutions. LET THEM
ANSWER FOR THIS CONDUCT THE PEOPLE.
Weinyite our Democratic friends, again and again
in all the Counties, to hold their Meetings at once
and appoint their Delegates. In the name of the
Wake Democracy we promise them cordial and
hearty welcome.

TINE UNDERSIGNED nro,

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guags IN the CIV q Wa'.ngton, in support Of the
raj I6yior came into power, and being desirous 10
obtain the aid and corporation of the Whig party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make IL desirable and nece ssary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
l. 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
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 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 1t is to this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than their subscription lists they do gene
rally stand fall with the or defeat Of the
Whig R party in their particular section
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, it is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the renectlng aud think
ing, that ia 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 to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antci
