guage, in the City Of Washington, in support Of the
principles by which the Administration Of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS TO

his estimation, make il desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
OF Government.

guage as their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number is constantly in
creasing by immigration.

which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, of course, range themselves

az soon as they are able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is to use this
