CIRCULAR.

V,HE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
IL political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Wasington in support Of the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Tdylor came into power, and being DESTROYS 10
obtain the aid and operation of the Wing 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 i'm
crcasing by immigration.
2. The name Of Democrats being the appeation
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
soon "a they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more 80, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language
whose particular object and anxiety il is 10 this
Interpretation TO the best advantage.
g. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character
and relying for their support more local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the success or defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible 10 sound arRu.
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees
To overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
prchensons, and by its own direct influence, as
well as Dy lts lnIlutnCt upon tne local wing
pers, now in existence, will, IL is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks.
s. The undersigned IL we'll aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 10 overcome but rely
ing upon the power Of truth and tho cooperation
Of the Wing party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise, does not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, If he antici.
pates a satisfactory result.
