CIRCULAR.

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage in the City q Washington, in support Of the
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 IL desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government.
1. The number Of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
crcasing by immigration.
2. The name OF Democrats being the appelation
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 sppellation in this country
as soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more 30, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety II is to use this
Interpretation 20 the best advantage
3. Although there few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more local patron
age than ON their cription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the or defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu-
mcnt, and a paper conducted with uprightncss, and
speaking the pls' truth, will be able, by degrees
20 overcome preJudiccs, correct errors and misap-
prebcnsions, and by its own direct influence as
well by it's influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, now IN existence, VIII, II 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.
g. 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 Wing party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise, docs not fear TO be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, If he antici.
patcs satisfactory result.
