CIRCULAR.

TNHE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish
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 Taylor came into power, and being dcsirous to
obtain the aid and co operation Of the Whg party,
he would respectfully state the reas,ns which, in
his estimation, make II desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
Of Government.
I. The number of those who use the German Ian
guagc their medium Of intercourse is upwards Of
Three Millions, and this number ~ constantly in
crcasing by immigration.
2 The name of Democrats being the appcllation
of the liberal or popular party OF Germany, 20
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course range themselves with
the party bearing that appclaton in this country,
they able To exercise the elective
iranchisc; and the more so, a. the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety IL is 20 use this
Interpretation TO the best advantage.
3. Although there arc n few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
aud, relying for their support more on local patron
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 10 sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightncss, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome prcJudiccs, correct errors and Inisap
prehcnsions, and by its own direct influence, ne
well by It's influence upon the local Whig pa
pcrs, now in existence, will, IL is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that il the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks.
5. The undersigned Is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 10 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, docs not fear 70 be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, il hc antici
patcs a satisfactury result

Backed OutI

The Tribune & Clipper reminds us of the
boy who, having got decently whipped by
another urchln, blubbered out, " Wal, gaul
darn ye, if can't lick you, I'll make mouths
at yersister!" Having concluded that to
"prove" what the editor intended in his
last weeks paper, would be rather more of
a job than he at first anticipated, he (as whig
editors generally do) casts about for some
thing to cover his retreat. Fortunately for
him, there had been some changes made in
the officers connected with the canal, and
we having news of more importance to fill
up our paper, had not published the list of
appointments. The editor glad Of something
to "hit "us about, forthwith wades" into
our affections in most shocking manner
He has articles headed " Heads off" ".Gul-
lotine at work." and all thai. From the in
tensity Of the editors feelings one would
suppose that he was personally interested.
We hope not, Tor in that case his brain
would become topsy-turvy" worse than
ever, and we should never know how much

Railroad Progress.

The business of the Portsmouth and
jackson Railroad is progressing. The
Engineers are now engaged in preparing
the profiles md estimates Of cost, which
will be completed in short time. The
directors, with commendable activity, are,
doing all in their power TO effect the pre-
llminary arrangem ants SO indispensably
necessary tothe proper commencement and
assured progress of work of this magni-
tude. A gentleman has been employed
and is already on the line, to procure the
right of way, subscriptions to stock, and
donations of materials, &C.. for the road,
in which we cannot but hope and expect
he will be successful. The directors lost
no time in applying TO the Commissioners,
the first day of their session, on Monday,
to subscribe 100000 to the stock, in
conformity with the vote recently given
by the county in favor Of the measure.
We learn that the subscription was prompt
ly made upon the conditions prescribed by
the statute. These conditions, being wholly
unnecessary, not required by the wishes,
or for the security of the people, and real
ly absurd in business point of view, will
undoubtedly be repe led at onct by appli-
cation to the next legislature. In addi-
ton to this, tho directors are in correspon-
dence with various persons on subjects con-
nected with the advancement of the road.
In short, all is now DUNG that can be done,
and we believe such will continue TO be
the case. We have never known public
opinion more unanimous than it is here, on
the proprioty and Importance of pushing
this work ahead, and as soon as possible
putting portion of it under contract
This once dpne, and we are confident, that
all obstacles will be readily overcome. A
degree of confidence will be inspired in
the public mind by such a course which
will carry everything before it.
DISPATCH.
The Portsmouth inquirer. [volume] (Portsmouth, O. [Ohio]) 1849-1855, 1850-06-10
Prepare to Act.

We mentioned yesterday, that the direc-
tors of the railroad were doing all in their
power 10 prepare for effective operations
on the line. But there is something for
others 10 DO. The road cannot be built
without means. The duty now rests up
on our citizens both in town and country,
upon all who expect to derive benefit
from this valuable work, 10 come forward,
put their shoulders effectually 10 tho wheel,
and by their united efforts 10 push it for
ward to vigorous commencement and an
early completion. The prospects of Ports
mouth were never so hattering as at pre-
sent. Before us is the vision of large,
populous, Furnishing, manufacturing and
wealthy City. All that is necessary is,
to put forth our hands filed with me ms,
md, by the vivlfying touch, convert this
vision into glorious reality.
We learn that il is the intention of the
directors to begin en- Monday, aud with
subscription book in hand, TO pay personal
visitto every citizen in the place, and as.
certain how far, he is willing to 60 IN aid
of this great work. Should any be neg
lected, they may rest assured it will be
throus n inadvertence, and all such will be
welcomed at the office where the books
WILDE open TO receive their names.
Let all reflect cody aud dispassionate-
ly on this subject, and come forward with
liberal hand. All can contribute some.
thing, and all should do so, for oil will be
benefited. Not man in the community
but will feel the lnvigoratng effects Of this
work, as soon as it is commenced. As
mere investment il must bs profitable, since
there is every reason 10 believe the stock
will be very productive. During the con.
struction of the road and while the money
is being expended all will, directly or in
directly, receive more than enough to pay
their instalments. But the most impor-
tant consideration Of oil is, the effect which
the rood when dune will have upon the
prosperity Of the place; upon all, indivd-
ually and collectively; upon the value OF
property; upon every mans business; and
upon that of his children and chiIdre0's
children for all time to come. Let il never
be the reproach Of Portsmouth, that when
a golden opportunity was offered, its citi-
zens neglected to profit by it, were blind to
their own best interests, and fecreant to
the duty they owed to themselves and their
posterity, ID
