THE UNDERSIGNED proposcs to publish a
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 Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the rcasons which, in
his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the
of Government.
1. The number of those who use the German Lam
guage their medium Of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
?. 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 appellaton in this country,
as soon as they are able 70 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 this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
3. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support moro local patron
rally stand fall with the success defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
I. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, arc accessible 10 sound argu-
ment, and a paper conducted with upri ghtness and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
10 overcome preIudices, correct errors and misap-
prchcnsions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pcrs, now in existence, will, il is hoped produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that ia the influential, portion Of the German
citizens, over 10 the Wing ranks.
3. The undersigned ia 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 does not fear 10 be charged
with entertaining too sangune hopes If he antici
pates a satisfactory result.

ing used and witnessed the effects of your excel
lent preparation Of Sarsaps rilla different persons
in various parts of the southern country, viz Vir-
ginia louisiana Texas, and Mexico, ! feel much
pleasure in stating the high opinion entertained of
Its great medicinal value. In my own case il acted
almost like charm, removing speedily the encr
waited state OF the SYSTEM and exciting in the most
agreeable manner tonic and invigorating infu-
ence
Your Sarsaparilla is highly approved and extern
sivey used by the United States army in Mexico,
and my cousin, General Zachary Taylor, has for
the past five years been in the habitof using it, and
recommends the same; he and myself adopted the
article at the same time, and it is now considered
an almost indispensable requisite in the army In
conclusion would say, that the better it is known
the more highly it will be priced, and trust that
its health restoring virtues will make it generally
known throughout the length and breadth
widely extended country.
Yours, very respectfully, S. G. TAYLOR.

Messrs. SANDS: Having suffered many years
with disease of my throat, affecting the larynx,
during which time was treated by the most dis
tinguished physicians in Europe and the United
States, without receiving any permanent benefit,
but all the time my general health and strength
declining, and the disease making fearful progress
caustic applications were used and whatever else
thought must efficient for producing a cure;
but am confident that the deplorable situation
was in, the laryngtis being accompanied with
phthisis and great difficulty in breathing, would
soon have terminated my life, bad not obtained
relief through the medium of your invaluable Sar-
saparilla. I must say, gentlemen, when l COM
menced using the sarsaparilla did not place much
confidence in its virtues; and this will not surprise
you, when you are informed had tried more than
fifty different remedies during the past four years
without any success; but after taking your Szrsa-
parilla few weeks, was obliged at last to yield
TO evidence. This marvellous specific has not only
relieved but cured me; and therefore think II

humanity, to give you this attcstation Of my cure.

Nine years ago the nation and the Wing
party experienced for the first time providen-
tia change in the executive head of the admin
istration. They had previously scarce taken
the possibility of such an occurrence into their
reckoning nor in the selection preceding the
last, of candidate for the Vice Presidency,
did the Wing party dream of his accession TO
the Chief Magistracy, save as a theoretical con
tingency 50 remote and improbable as to demand
no special care in scanning his qualities with
view TO its practical realization The error was
a grievous one, and grevously have the party
and the nation answered for il. The lesson sunk
deep in the hearts Of the Wings of the Union;
and when they assembled in council, in Phila-
delphia. in lS4S, it was with the fixed de-
termination to designate for the second office n
the gift Of the people a man upon whom they
could see the first office dcvolved without doubt
or misgiving-one in the soundness Of whose
principles, in whose ability, tried integrity, ex-
perence in public affairs, calm judgment, gene
rous tolerance and patriotic devotion to the in
terests of the whole country, sure guarantee
might be found for a prudent, enlightened, and
successful administration Of the Government
With such qualifications distinctly in view,
they selected Mu.LARD FILLMORE. OF New
York. Here we may, we hope, without inn
prupriety remark, as fact we learned from the
best authority soon after its occurrence, that
among the foremost in urging his nomina-
ton before the balloting commenced, were
Southern gentlemen of the greatest saga
city and largest experience, who have served
with him in the national councils, and who
were well acquainted with the course he had
pursued, and the opinions he had entertained
and expressed in reference to Ill the politi-
cal and party topics Of the day. And it was
the subject of lively and earnest congra,uation
with the Wings throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. that II the calamity should
befall us, with which it has pleased a beneh-
cent and all-wse Providence TO visit the ma
ton, the best provision had been made which
tho delegated wisdom and sagacity Of the
Wing party could devise to repair the loss.
The nomination was canvassed, for attack
and for defence, upon its individual merits, as
one Of the greatest importance; and il was rati-
fled by the people. calmly, sobcrly. and hope
fully, not as that Of the President of the Senate
merely, but as that Of the President Of the Uni
ted States contingent, but not accidental. IL is
no part Of our purpose to undertake the super
fuous Office Of justfying their choice. The

PREetpENT FILLMonE.-IIaving transmitted his
resignation as presiding officer of the Senate, Mr..
FILLMoRE, on Wednesday last, in the House of
Representatives, and in the prcsencc Of both
branches Of Congress-, the Cabinet, and a crowded
assembly, took the oath Of office, administered by
Judge Crsnch, preparatory to entering on the du-
ties Of President Of the United States
The considerations which dictated the selection
OF Mr.. FILLMORE 70 go upon the national ticket
with the lamcnted General TAyLoa arc now shown
10 have been the wiscst. The recollection Of a con
tingcncy that might again happen, and which has
happened, was too fresh in the mind Of every rnem
Der OF the convention 10 enter upon the selection Of
a candidate for Vice President without due consid-
Grafton. Having made choice Of General TAYLOR
for the Office Of President, the convention, deeply
impressed with the importance Of selecting for his
associate statcsman, whose character, habits of
thought, and principles, in harmony with
those OF General TAYLOR, with great enthusiasm
and unanimity, selected, from a long list OF illus
trious names, MuLARp FuLMonE. The selection
ticularly 10 the North and 10 large numbers in the
Wing party whose preferences had not been graft
he'd in the nomination Of General TAYLOR.
New York hailed biz nomination with peculiar
satisfaction. Mr.. FILLMORE bad long enjoyed the
confidence Of the people, and was Justly known
among the Wings ma ''Ncw Yofk's hvorite SON"
And now, while they sincerely gricve at the de-
cease of General Taylor, they find consolation in
tho fact that the calamity will not be heightened
but repaired rather, by the succession Of Mr. FIT
MORE.
As TO what viii be the policy of Mr.. FILLMORE, IL
- not fitting nov to dsCuss. We have entire CON
6dence, however, that IL will DO characterized for
it's truly national spirit and aims; for enlarged
