JAMES GORDON BENNETT, ESQ
"Vell, vot of III" said wing friend on Satur-
day evening last, when the news from Pennsylva-
MIA came upon him like an avalanche from the
white mountains. "Vell, vot OF it7' doa't be
frightened boys. True, we should like to see the
old Keystone in the galaxy Of good wing States;
but as Gays the old adsge, what can't be cured

The life OF politician is certainly hard one as enc
