" am rcioced To learn FROM the National Era
which reached me yesterday that YOU design, from
| the 9TH Of July next. 10 publish a Free Democratic
| German newspaper - But take the lib
erty of making single remark and this is the reason
ofmy troubling you with this note. You say in your
prospectus that your jbfptT shall he cOnt0linI bb
| Christian prnc'phs.' For an English paper this is
intclgible enough as the majority of the American
people are still deficient in philosophical develop
mcnt but for German paper this position is behind
the times III yOu examine all the German political
papers without an exception, from the bunker pa
pers to those OF the Abotioniss You will no longer
see single vestige OF religious coloring in them
| SIMPLY because they write for the German public
the later and best papers have placed themselves dc
cidedly and with the appreciation of their readers
upon panthcistic platform, which bears in its bosom
| the promise of the future
This is no SANDER of ours, no invention of the edi-
tor of the NatiOnai Denoirat but the testimony %
one of their own number, in regard to the character
aud contents OF our German political papers The,
have faith in Chrstianity-not a trace of il is {,
be found in their columns the only religion they ne
knowledge is panthcism-thc dcifcation of them
selves, and all nature around them. What stronger
evidence could have of the need for such paper
as Mr. Schmidt proposes TO publish

Der NATIONAL DEMoKRAT.-This il the title of n
new German weekly paper, a large quarto, printed
| on fine white paper and in the best Typographical
style 1t is edited in Washington, d C., by Frcdcr-
lex Schmidt, formerly editor of the Kiychen .sifHHg,
! in Pittsburgh. As Mr. Schmidt is known to be a
gentleman of superior abilities, thoroughly educated
! and wthal fearless advocate of revealed religion
and sound morals and is pledged to oppose the iccn-
tious and infdcl character of too many of the Ger.
man papers of our country, should rejoice to hear
OF the success OF this great enterprise though
not endorse all the " standponts assumed in his
| paper ROmanism and infdolity with their conse-
qucnt tendency To Reorganization and distraction in
politics and morals, the great and most threaten
Owls III our anu II we are not mistaken,
the NatiOR0I D'mOlra viii be n formidable oppo-
nent of these alarming evils, and skfu advocate
OF rational freedom and sound virtue Under these
impressions, we have no hcsitancy in warmly recon-
mcnding the paper in question. Tho principal dc
sign. says Mr. s. of this publication, is to circulate
among our vast German population family ncwspa-
per advocating Christian and Free Democratic prin-
cipos, fully discussed in prospectus which has
been freely circulated among the friends of genuine
liberty and of the rights of man.
