Na.iona Democratic Resident Committee
These inquiries are very interesting, and it
will be remarked that they are limited to the
Germans, French, Dutch, Norwegians and
Swedes. And why these inquiries especially in
their behalf? They are simply for the purpose Of
affording basis for the circulation of documents
among these different people, in their different
languages, and adapted to their peculiar politi-
cal and religious ideas. This Washington Demo-
cratic Committee. in fact, is great central de
mocratc tailor's shop, for the manufacture Of po-
litical garments TO suit all customers, of all ma
tons, all religions-Catholic or Know Nothing,
slavery and anti-slavery long and short, fat and
slender, big and little. All that the committee
ask is the measure of the man, and they can fit
him with any cut, color or fabric that may suit
his fancy But let il be borne in mind, though,
while everybody is invited in this way to vote for
Mr.. Buchanan, none but the old Buchanan clique
recorded in the ledger of Col. Forney will be en-
titled to the spoils. Remember that. After the
election begins the weeding out. Remember that.
