CIRCULAR.

IH'HE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German LAM
ua &C. in the City of Washington in support of the
inprinciplcs by which the Administration of Gene
al Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
sbtain the aid and cooperation 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
/. The number Of those who use the German Ian
guagc 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 appellation in this country
az soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety il is TO this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
| 3. Although there few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support moro 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 argu-
ment and paper conducted with uprightness, and
| speaking the plain truth, will be able bv degrees
10 overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
! prehcnsiOns, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, IL IL 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.
| 5. The undersigned Is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 10 overcome but RELY
/ ing ~ on the power Of truth and the cooperation
4 Of the WING party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits OF his enterprise docs not fear 10 be charged
With entertaining too sangune hopes il he antici.
pates a satisfactory result
