THE UNDERSlGNE proposes 10 publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian.
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support of the
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj THyIor came into power, and being dcsirous 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 seat
of Government.
l. The number Of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium Of intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in

the party bearing that appellation in this country

3. Although there a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally a local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
rally stand fall with the defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
T. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the ps'- truth, will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome preJudicee, correct errors and misap-

the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think

citizens, over 20 the Whig ranks.

DIfi Jacob, t0hat is dirtY Y"-SournEY.
The dictionary tells us that Dirt is what
ever, adhering TO anything, renders it foul or
unclean." Our eyes tell us that il
takes away the beauty of whatever il touches.
Our noses tell us that it is extremely disgust
ing. And our feelings tell us that it is re-
pugnant TO heath and comfort and purity
and social enjoyment.
Dirt is not part of our nature; it is a
parasite, thriving on our hearts blood, like
vampire. They say the vampire sucks away
tile life, without the poor patients knowing
any thing about it.. 1t is just the same with
Dirt. Four-iiiths of mankind live in dirt,
and lose large part of their health and com
fort in consequence. What is it that rohs
the working classes, in many of our large
towns, of nearly half their natural term of
lifT DIRT; dirt Oh the person, in the houses,
IN the streets, and in the air What is il
that makes the children ifetfil, impatient
and bad tempered3 DIRT, again. What is
il that keeps rich men from associating with
the poor, from sitting by them at meetings,
or letting them come to their houses? Not
so much pride, us DIRT. What is itthat de-
stroys self-respect, makes men careless and
degraded, and weakens the natural restraints
of modcsty? DmT, again. What is il that
makes the prettieSt face ugly, the finest
clothes tawdry, the cleverest man disagreea-
BILE, and the most splendid house uniilllabi-
table? DIRT, again.
AWAY THEN WITH Dirt! Welcome Wat-
er and Air, Sand and Soap, even Besoms
and Scrubbing Brushes! The child who
fetches pail of water into the house is as
an angel of mercy while the man that
brings in ajug of nle, is beginning tue work
of demon. The man who takes the nour-
ishing food that God sends for our support.
turns il into poisonous spirit, and (ufter mix
ing Il with corrupted water) offers il bis
brother to drink, gives pleasure to fiends.-
But the poor mechanic who takes tho putrid
tallow and the dirty ashes, and changes them
into dirt-destroying soup, is doing noble
work. 1t is like what the Divine Being
does in nature. HE takes the filthy particles
that nauseate us, and the bad air that robs us
Of our health and with this He nourishes
tho plants, and forms new store of food
to support and of herbage and flowers to
delight us.
LoATHE DIRr! You cannot help Il at
work; but when work is over, taste no food

BRITISH PERIODICAL LITERATURE.
RepubLinnfior nf -


The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRiTIsH REvIEw,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLAcKwooD's EDINBuRGH JOURNAL.
THE widespread fame OF these splendid
periodicals renders it needless to say much
in their praise. As literary organs, they
stand far in advance of any works of a SINH
lar stamp now published, while the political
complexion of each is marked by a dignity,
candor, and forbearancc not often found ia
works of a party character.
They embrace the views of the three great
parties in England-Tory, Wing, and Radi-
cal. Blackwood" aud the London Quar-
terly" nre Tory, the Edinburgh Review" ("
Wing, and the Westminster Review " Rad
ical. The "North British Review" is more
of n religious character, having been origi-
nally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, sincc
his death, being conducted by his son-in-law
DIR. llama, associated with Sir David Brews-
ter. Its literary character is of the very high
est order.
The Westminster" though reprinted un-
der that title only, is published IN England
under the title of the "Forcign Quarterly
aud Westminster" it being in fact union of
the two Reviews formerly published and re-
printed under separate titles. II las there
fore the advantage, by this combination, of
uniting in one work the best features of botl,
as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in
New York, Immediately on their arrival by
the British steamers, in beautiful clear type,
oil fine white paper, and nre faithful copies
of the originals -BLacklcood's Magazine being
an exact fac-simile of the Edinburgh edition.

EARLY COPIES.
Our late arrangements with the British
publishers of Blackwoods Magazine secures
TO us early sheets of that work, by which we
are enabled TO place the entire number in the
hands of subscribers before any portion of il
can be reprinted i'll any of the American Jour
nails. For this aud other advantages secured
TO our subscribers, we pay so large consid-
Grafton, that we may be compelled to raise
the price ofthe Magazine.
" Something may therefore be gained
by subscribing early.
RenIttances and communications should
be always addressed, postpaid or ifanked, to
the publishers,
