CIRCULAR.

T,HE UNDERSIGNED proposes 90 publish a
i political Weekly paper in tho German Ian
guage, in the City Of Vashingfon, in support Of the
principles by which the Administrator Of Gene.
raj ThyiOr came into power, and being dcsirous 10
obtain the aid and cooperation OF the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the rearons which, IN
his estimation, make II desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
OF Government.
L. The number Of those who ouse tho German Ian
guagc as their medium of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number IA constantly in
creasng by immigration.
2. The name OF Democrats being the appellaton
OF the liberal or popular party OF Germany, to
which all tho immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appcllation in this country,
soon they are able 20 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 s 10 use this
misappcllaton to the best advantage.
g. Although there are a few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally 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
Whg party in their particular section.
& The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu.
ment, and paper conducted with upnghtness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
20 overcome preJudiccs, correct errors and misap
prchcnsOns, and by it's own direct influence, ne
well as by its influence upon the local Whig pa
The desired effect aud gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens over 10 the Whig ranks.
s. The undersigned Is we'll aware that he has
many and serious obstacles 20 overcome, but rely

OF the Wing party, on account Of the intrinsic
merits Of his enterprise docs not fear 70 be charged
with entertaining TOO sanguine hopes, If he antic

The Treasury Report.

Ii il were not that we are apprehensive
Of being misunderstood, we should beg
some gentleman of the House or Senate
to have the kindness TO forward us copy
of the annual report of the Secretary of
the Treasury. We mean no offence to
the Chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Printing. We do not intend to say that it
is his fault, or the printers fault, or any
body's fault, that this report is not TO be
had; but we do insist that, if il is only TO
be delivered this time next year, il will be
quite too late to answer any useful purpose.
1t is not at all impossible that Congress
some time or other, after it has sufficient
ly enlightened the country in the matter
Of negrodom, may be induced to pay some
little attention to the tarif-and endeavor
to ascertain what it is that is depopulating
and impoverishing Pennsylvania. In that
event, we shall have occasion for the
Secretary's report, and the country will
like to have the information which il en-
bodies. We hope, therefore, that the
Printing Committees will manage to get
together enough copies of this document
to furnish Congress, and to crafty few
of the outside barbsrians who are in pur-
suit of useful knowledge.
Now that Congress are in the way of
investigating subjects Of public interest,
we wish they would investigate and re-
port upon the fraud that was practised
upon the people of Pennsylvania by the
gentlemen who fought under the banner
of "Polk, Dallas, and the Tariff of 1922
and then crushed the LABOR of the Key
stone State by the tariff of 1916.
II is desirable that searching inquiry
should be instituted into this stupendous
imposition--and that the parties to it
should be held up to public indignation.
