matters right, please excuse me for writing my
own. Bennett, there is no getting past it, you are
the fastest editor in the new or old world-spicy,
droll, and original, the Herald is always interest
ing, and exerts tremendous influence in the CAPT.
tai city. 1t is eagerly sought, read and quoted by
every body-the editor id and patronized. Your
last weeks cogtaticns on the whig prospects, and
your vivid account and representation of the great
locofoco mass meeting in New York, threw our
whig politicians into perfect fever They COM
fort themselves, however, with the belief that
Wright will run bad in the southern tier of coun-
provements-and that the "defected district will
go with rush for Fillmore, and especially by the
great numbers and enthusiasm manifested at the
Mass Conventions at klnderhook, and on the bai-
tie lground at Benc's Heights, which keep thsir
spirits up; both parties doing all they know.
The excitement is encreasing daily; sOhd argu-
ments are freely used such as clubs, stones, and
money Your remarks on the inefiiclency OF whig

all men who have " travelled and conclusivey

all believe il This is made bug-bear by the loco
foco press and orators, and tells aganstu u.s. whereas
in skiful hands, II would be an excellent Card
There is nothing more easy to demonstrate than,
If we had branch Of U. 5. Bank in Wall street,
with capital OF 80 900 600, and another IN State
street, with capital OF $200O,O ,OOO, that 1t would
use up our arlstocraus and bank monspolies,
make the price Of money low, and raise the
price of labor and produce; and, instead OF
of the miserable pttance our workmen now OBJ
tain, they vould command the cid prices, eight
and ten shings for common laborers, fourteen to
twenty for mechanics II ls only a falr compensa-
tion bank would give them, and such doctrlne
would find thousands Of converts. The lrshmen
should be reminded that the locos stopped the canals
and railroads, andturned them out Of employment,
and that the wings in favor OF resumiDg the
works and setting them TO work again, which
would draw of the surplus laborers from New
York city and raise the price Of the labor OF those
remaining. There are great numbers OF wings,
