The Lutheran Standard, of this city. the organ of
the Lutheran denomination of the West has the fol-
lowing notice of tho new German Anti Slavery paper
at Washington. We presume it is from the pen of
Rev DR. Reynolds, President of Capital University,
who is personal acquaintance and friend of Prof
Schmidt editor of the D,mokyat.
DIR NATIONAL DEMoKRAr--We have received
tho first and second numbers of this new weekly pa
per, published at Washington, ID c., by FIR Schmidt
1t is certainly the handsomest German newspaper
published in this country, and We have never seen
any printed in Germany itself superior to it, 1t is n
large quarto of eight pages, of five columns each
that every number rs IN itself a small volume and
u
ume. As the name implies, this is to be n political
paper; bat understand from tho proprietors
its position will be independent oneendcavoring
to advocate that which is good in the principles of
both the great political parties that have long di
vided the country How the editor will succeed in
this, must be left for time TO determine Besides
politics, the paper will endeavor to supply its readers
with great variety of matter, in almost every de
partment of literature and news The foreign news
promises to be of especial interest and very copious

from which to mako his selections. No one who is
acquainted with Mr. Schmidt, whom many of our
readers will rccollect the former editor of tho
hrchCnseitURg, and Professor of the German Ian
guagc &c., in Lafayette College, Easton Pa can
doubt his ability to furnish paper Of tho very high
ost character
We are induced to notice this paper at greater
length than usual in consequence Of the decidedly
Christian position which II occupies. At the close OF
his prospectus the editor SAYS Our paper il design
cd to be family paper it shall he edited in Chris
tian spirit and upon Christian principles We would
cnlighten the understanding strengthen the will pu-
rify the heart and nOurish the faith The necessity
of such political paper has long been felt by those
at all acquainted with the state Of the German pot
cal press of this country and is strongly illustrated
by the following extract OF friendly letter forward
ed to Mr. Schmidt by Mr.. HeriIc, editor of II German
paper called Fre'e" BIadter published in Albany, n
York
am rejOiced to learn from the Naiioaai Era
which reached me yesterday, that you design, from
tho 4th of July next, to publish Free Democratic
German newspaper 49, y But take the lib
erty of making single remark and this is the reason
of my troubling you with this note You say in your
prospectus that your 'payfr shall h. coHt0ii,d bV
Christian py'nciphs. For an English paper this is
ineligible enough, as the majority Of the American
people still deficient in philosophical develop
ment but for German paper this position il behind
the times If you examine all the German political
papers, without an exception from the bunker pa
pers to those of the Abolitionsts, you will longer
see single vestige of religious colorng in thom-
simply because thoy write for the German public
the later and best papers have placed themselves do
cidodly and with tho appreciation of their readers,
upon pantheistic platform which bears in its bosom
the promise of the future"
This is no SANDER of ours, invention of the edi-
tor of tho National D6mOkyat but the testimony Of
Of their number in regard to tho character
and contents OF our German political papers. They
have no faith in Christiany-not trace Of il is 10
bo found in their columns the only religion thoy
knowledge is panthcism-thc dofcation of them
selves, and all nature around them. What stronger
evidence could VIC have of the need for such paper
as Mr. Schmidt proposes 10 publish
