TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes to publish
i political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington, III support OF the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation OF the hlg party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, IN
his estimation, make 1t desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
of Government.
l. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium of intercourse ID upwards oil
Three Millions, and this number Is constantly IN
creasing by Immigration
2. The name of Democrats being the appellatlon
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 appellatlon in this country
as soon AS they arc 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 use thls
misa ppellation to 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 or 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 10 sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprig htuess, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome preJudiccs, correct errors and misap-
prehcnsions, and by its own direct influence, as
well by it, influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, in existence, will, il IS hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing that is tho influential, portion of The German
citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks
5. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power Of truth and the cooperation
OF the Wing party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits of bis enterprise, docs not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining sanguinc hopes, if he antiCi.
pates satisfactory result.
