"The Undersigned undertake. from the lst OF
| January, 1852, the editing OF the Dsmokrati'eh<r
Poeikerbund We consider it our duty from the out
set to explain to the public, in open and candid
manner, what it has to expect from this paper. Az
this paper is intended to be pre- einnenty politi-
cal one, it is necessary in the first place to define
| our position in the field of politics. We are Euro
peans-we came as fugitives to America, because
| the whole of the united princes suppressed the
| exertions for freedom of the isolated struggling
| people. But do not give up Europe as lost We
are fully convinced that the people Of Europe will
| have democratic future; do not believe the
"citheror" Of the captive OF Corsica on the Island
| OF ST. Helena. Europe cannot become Cossack; ii
must become republican. Europe will ever be our
| native country. Europe-its political and social
condtion-wl hencefo be the subject Of our at
tention, the aim of our wishes and endeavors. We
live for Europe, we work for her freedom.
"But we live now in America, if only tempOra-
| rily, as we convinced. We therefore cannot
help taking notice of the condition of our provision
al home. We not only here to look across the
sea, but Also since the unlimited critical nature OF
reason demands it, to look round about US, while
the free institutions of America offer much for
imitation much to be avoided for the future for
nation of Europe Europe should not copy Anne
"The condition, therefore, of America, will with
equal right form the second part of this paper; and
here let us also define our position.
"The word democratic, in the American ac-
ceptation, does not define with sufficient precision
our stand in American affairs for here il has lost
its natural meaning. and, instead, acquired his
torica one, which depends upon no principle but
from the laws of convenience.
'sThe following the pending questions of the
present policy in reference to which we will give
| our course and platform:
81. The slavery question. JVith regard to It, zoe
consider the COmpr0miss settled solution, but q
prori,ional Ia,D, for the abrogation of ,ohieh. at
least far the eradition Of slaves is concerned,
Toe ,riH employ all The means iphich public organ
can command.
"2 Land reform. We defend the principle OF
land reform, and contend against monopoly Of the
soil.
80. The policy of the Union with respect to Gen.
trail America. With reference to this point, we
stand on the ground Monroe took that every in
reference of European powers in the affairs of the
American continent will unhesitatingly be re.
jscted.
~. The tariff question; and s. that of internal
improvements, (canals, rivers, and harbors.) As
we do not raise these questions the stand of our
| m n bu CDnalder
convenience, we give free discussion of the same in
our paper.
"At all the elections we will, therefore, take par
tcular notice of the three enumerated principles.
"a. GYURMAN,
"F. WurscHKL."
The impudence of THOMPSON and all other
interlopers is completely eclipsed by this per-
formance of Messers. GYURMAN and WUTs-
cuEL, who step forward as reformers of the
very country which they Tepudiate at the out
SET They come here for their own temporary
convenience they state explicitly that they
retain and mean to cherish their European feel
ings, and to return to Europe as soon as cir
cumstances will permit; they disavow all per-
manent interest in this Republic, which they
call their provisional home" and yet these
men, being citizens neither in fact nor inten-
tion, declare their determination to employ
their journal in exciting hostility to the Fugi-
tive Slave law. They seek refuge in this
country from oppression and want; and nc
sooner do they find themselves bodily safe than
they evince their gratitude by striving to dis
turb a law which the nation that protects them
deems essential to its well-being. The mo-
desty which is usually expected at the hands
of strangers does not trouble them. They ar,
European republicans, and that, in their judg
ment, is enough to qualify them for enlightening
the less learned citizens Of the New World il
regard to the terms Of the Constitution, and tn,
precise kind of obedience due to the law of tn,
land.
1t is time, we think. that Messrs. GYUR
MAN and WUrscHEL, and all who, like them
meddle with matters with which they have n,
concern, should be distinctly apprized that ou
people will "unhesitatingly reject" interference
Gin the affairs of the American continent,
whether the interfering parties be European
powers, or the Hungarian or Austrian editors o
a New York Journal We are advocates of non
Intervention generally; and are not more dis
posed to permit interference with our affair
than to sanction interference by Americans il
the affairs Of Europe.
The Herald states that A. GYURMAN, one o
the parties engaged in this project, was for
merly associated with NJ. KossUTH in th
management Of newspaper in Hungary; tina
he was fellow exile with kossUTH, and LEI
Turkey with him in the Mississippi steamer
and that he has entered upon his new duties a
New York journalist under the advice 0
KossUrp The following is translation Of
note which accompanies the above prospectus
apparently as a guarantee of GYURMAN's eff
cheney:
