CIRCULAR.

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
l. 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 DESTROYS TO
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Wing party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make II 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 IL constantly in
creasing by immigration.
2. The name Of Democrats being the appcllation
Of The liberal or popular party Of Germany, 10
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, Of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appcllaton in this country
as soon 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 IL is 10 use this
Interpretation 20 the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on 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 intelligent
| and reading people, are accessible 10 sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome prejudices correct errors and misap-
| prehcnsions, and by its own direct influence, AZ
well az by lite influence upon the local Whig pa
pors, in existence, WILL II IL 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.
8. The undersigned Is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 20 overcome but relv-
ing upon the power Of truth and the cooperation
\ Of the Wing party, account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise does not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining too ssngune hopes, IL he antic
| pstcs a satisfactory result.
