Horrid Calamity-Dreadfu Explosion
of the Wing Party on Salt River
Five Cabinet Ministers Killed.
John M. Bolts and many other M.
C.'s Scalded, and Ten Thousand
Office Reggars Wounded.
From the Second Edition of the Ne0. York
Herald, September, l4.]
We have the melancholy task this day to
record one Of the most extraordinary explo.
sions that has ever yet taken place in any
steamer that ploughed the magnificent rivers
of this happy land. 1t is nothing else than
the explosion of the Wing Party, on its way
up Salt River-the bursting Of its boiler
the killing Of five Cabinet Ministers--the
scalding OF many members of Congress, and
the woundiDg ofeditors and politicians, with.
out number.
In another part Of this days paper we
give our readers the full particulars Of the
melancholy intelligence on Salt river-the
causes which have produced the recent ex-
p!oslon-and the very names of some OF
the persons who were the principal instiga-
tors and concoctors Of this calamity. That
highly respectable print called the "NationaI
lntelligencer,'; conducted by Messrs. Silky,
Milky & Co , states the facts at full length,
and their information and statements are
confirmed by the "New York Courier and
Enquirer"
This is probably the greatest steam ex-
plosion that ever took place in the world
and indicates that the boiler Of the Wing
Party was made of bad materials-that the
engineers are incompetent men-or that the
fellow who did all the mischief, who is called
James Gordon Bennett, mus: be one Of the
greatest devils or engineers in the world
Here is the Wiling Party, established and
baptised by James Watson Webb, blown to
atoms-burst up, broke down, blasted for
ever-by that horrid wretched, James Cor.
don Bennett. Oh! oh! oh! Awful! We de.
sire our readers to study and ponder on this
affair, and these wonderful revelations oil the
"National Intelligencer' &"Courier and En-
q%uirer." These prints state positively that
the "New York Herald is the organ Of the
President that "CaBtain John Tyler"
God bless himD has said that the "Herald'
was the most Interesting newspapers in the
Union."-[Very likely.]
Now it becomes an important question in
pharmacy, by what drugs and medicines Jas.
Gordon Bennett and the s'Heraid" nave &C.
quired such an influence over the Presiden,
and Congress as to blow up the cabinent-l
scatter its members to the devil, Ito whence
they are going) and break up finally and for
ever the great Wing Party, whose head is
in Wall street, and tail in the lower regions!
We particularly recommend the considera-
ton of this question to the learned doctors
Of the Crosby street Medical school, presu-
ming that they have the most leisure to al
tend to such subjects-and believing that
the University Medical School is so much
engaged in healing the poor that they have
no time for such deep investigation.
Seriously md soberly, however, the grave
Charge made by the National Intelligencer,
and reiterated by the Courier and Enquirer,
that the explosion of the Cabinet, and the
disruption Of the Wing Party, are owing
to the influence and power exercised by the
New York Herald, is a plot got up by some
persons unknown, in connection with us and
our reporters and correspondents, is proba.
bly, one Of the greatest absurdities-the most
~farcical charges that ever came from the
brains Of uncontaminated blockheads. II is
almost equal in supreme absurdity to those
three indictments brought against us by NJ.
NJ. Noah, for the alleged offence of misre-
presenting the venerable Judg. on the trial
of Il man for stealing IA few pounds OF pork,
a few bags OF cofce-or a parcel of old clo'.
The Herald is solemnly set down by Joseph
Gales and James Watson Webb, as the or
gan of the Executive, because our reporters
and correspondents at Washington, give a
more correct and earlier accounts of public
affairs than those belonging 10 other papers.
What solemn absurdity!
The whole plot is got up by a band of
reckless politicians and supreme jackasses at
Washington, who spend their time in eating,
drinking. gambling, dissipating, and trying
to make Presidents. The two bank bills
were a pair of political maneuvres They
were never intended for any thing but 10 re.
ceive a veto. These bills were so absurd
and impracticabIe that no man Of capital
would ever have touched a dollars worth Of
