For the preponderance in the new committee a
most prodgious effort will be made. The friends
of General Cas-, John G. Calhoun, and all others
are TO be cutvoted and out-numbered by the friends
of Mr.. Van Buren, This committee is one of the
big brandy and water wheels in the great machine
shop of the democratic party, constructed for the
purpose manufacturing Presidents of the United
States out of the best of raw materials For the
last year Elijah F. Purdy has been the superinten-
dent of the whee-leting off and on the water, and
most sagacious, COOL and admirable one he has
been. His machinery has worked with great
sweetness and precision On Thursday next, be-
tween the hours of l and s o'clock, the election
will be held for new wheel, and dreadful rush
will be made by the friends of Mr.. Van Buren, to
carry the whole, against Cas-, Calhoun, or any other
antagonist.
But these not all the machinery of the demo-
cratic party. After the last election, new commit
tee called the Democratic Committee of Public
Safety" was organised, an account Of which will
be found as foows:-
