CIRCULAR.

THE UNDERSIGNED proposes 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
roi Tdvlor came into power, and being desirous 70
obtain the aid and cooperation of the Whig 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.
/. The number Of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium Of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number Is constantly In
creasing by immigration.
?. The name Of Democrats being the appcllation
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 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 II is to use this
Interpretation 10 the best advantage.
3. Although there 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 success or defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, arc accessible to sound argu-
ment, and paper conducted with uprightnoss, and
speaking the plar truth, will be able by degrees,
TO overcome preJudiccs, correct errors and misap-
prchcnsions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Whig pa
pers now in existence will, il is 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.
5. The undersigned is we'll aware that he has
many aud 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 70 be charged
with entertaining too sangune hopcs, If he antici
pates a satisfactory result.
