UNHE UNDERSIG NED proposes to publish n
i political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage in the Csy Of Washington, 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 Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
of Government.
/. 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
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 appelation in tins country,
soon as they are able 10 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 few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally a local character,
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than 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-
ment, and PAPER conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain TRUTH will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome preJudces, correct errors and Dlisap-
/ prchensions, and by its own direct influence,
/ we'll by it's influence upon the local Whig pa
pcrs, now 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 Whig ranks.
s. The undersigned Ia well aware that he has
man v and scrious obstacles 20 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 sanguinc hopes, If he antici
pates a satisfactory result.
