The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-11-11
CIRCULAR.

TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish n
Il 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 IhyIor came into power, and being desirous 10
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Whig party,
he would respectfully state the reaeons which, in
his ESTIMATION, make IL desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
of Government.
| /. The number of those who use the German lam
guage as 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 sppellation
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 appeation in this country,
as soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety ii is 10 use this
Interpretation 10 the best advantage
3. Although there are a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally a local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the defeat OF the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being intelligent
and reading people, are accessible 10 sound argu-
mcnt, and paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome prcJudces, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pors, now in existence, will, IL lie hoped produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over 20 the Whig ranks.
s. The undersigned ia well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles TO overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
OF the Whg 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.
