A Scene Altogether American.

The National Intelligencer, comment
ing npon the sad event OF the death O
the President alludes to an.incident Of the
day, which probably made less impres.
sion than some others on American spec
tatofs, but was precisely that which is
most calculated 10 attract the notice Of for
eigners.
"The death of the President being an.
nounced, citizen, plainly attired, enters
among the assembled Representatives of
the nation, walks up to the Clerks desk
takes an oath on the Bible to support the
Constitution of the United States, and, by
this brief ceremony, he becomes, in an
instant of time, invested with the com
mand of the whole military force of a
mighty nation, with the execution of It's
laws and the administration of It's power.
No one objects or dreams of objection;
the act is acquiesced in as thing oi
course, and with the submission that
woul be rendered to law of nature
The sceptre of the people into passes his
hands as quietly and as.quickly as pow
er OF attorney could be acknowl edged be-
fore justice of the peace. And though
the individual attracted attention, the
thing itself was hardly thought of in con-
nectIon with the consequences. In some
countries such transfer Of power would
have cost streams of blood, and shaken
the government to its very foundations.
And why is it not so here? Because ours
is government of equal rights, and a
government of laws, and because our peo-
pie are law abiding and law keeping
people; because they know and feel that
their own laws are the restraints which
they themselves have placed on their
own passions, and that it is only by obey
ing these laws that their equal rights can
be maintained. May such ever be their
spiritr'

CIRCULAR.

TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish q
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 Idyloy came into power, and being DESTROYS 70
obtain the aid and cooperation Of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make II desirable and necessary
that such paper should DO established at the seat
Of Government
l. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage their medium Of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.
2. 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 TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more SO, MS the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety 1t is to use this
Interpretation to the best advantage.
g. Although there are few Wing papers in tho
country, they bear principally local character
and, relying for their support more on local patrons
age than on their subscription lists, they do gencf
rally stand fall with the defeat Of the
Wing party in their particular section.
T. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible TO sound argu
ment, and u paper conducted with uprightness, and
speaking the plain TRUTH will be able, by degrees,
to overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by it's own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now In existence, Will, II 10 hopcd, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that Is the influential portion Of the German
citizens, over to 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 his enterprise, does not fear TO be charged
with entertaining too sanguinc hopes, If he antici
pates 4 satisfactory result.
