THE HERALD AND THE LOCO.FOCOS.


"Durins the last Election philosophical contempt
rary Horace Greeley declared several occasions TINT
the Ner FORK Herald aud its Proprietor and Editor had
been purchased by the Ioco-locos, and that the Journal
under the management o; loco-FOco Committee.
We pronounced these sertons at the time. and still
pronounce them TO be- unmitgacd ialsehoods Herald
iSs- Aside from the general and very conclusive
evidence afforded by the columns of the Herald
throughout the con,est-by It's advocacy of every
distinctive doctrine OF our opponents and It's mlsrep
resentation Of every Wing principle and measure
by It's assertions that Mr.. Clay as much an
! Annexatonist as Polk, and hundred other false
hoods which could have had no other object than
| the defeat of the Wing party-we had more direct
evidence on which TO base our charges. 4 gentle
man with whom we are well acquainted informed
us that, in travelling through Pennsylvania last sum.
mer, he crossed the track of James Gordon Bennett
of the Herald at or near Wilkesbarre, we believe
and there Yves informed that Mr.. B., on being asked
| in the course Of conversation how he could afford
TO be absen, So much from New-York, replied that
| he had no care Of hes paper at lpescat-that Il had
been hired for the campaign by dc Leo Focos, a"d
,cas maauscd By fhem. Every days issue OF the
Herald corroborted this statement. II the Herald
desires any farther light on the subject, we will
endeavor TO assist in the investigation. But that
we made the charge it objects to in undoubiins
confidence OF lis truth, even the Herald cannot
disbelicve.
The Herald ,cd not qulbhle and ralter farther
concerning the British cold II is true tina,
great fund was raised IN England, manly by SUBJ
scription of the wealthy manufacturers and mer-
chants first, TO overthrow the Corn-Laws, but with
the avowcd ultimate object oil disseminating Free
J. ,rurII Is
that the great Manufacturers OF Great Britain were
extremely anxious for reduction OF our Tariff TO
a horizontal Revenue standard, and that they did
and do believe that Mr. Folks election would
secure this, while Mr. Clay's would defeat It. 1t
is true that the Anti Com-Law League was applied
to from this City for the means OF circulating Free
Trade tracts throughout this Country, and assured
that this would produce grea, effect. Now, we
do not, OF course, know how this proposition was
responded TO- for the parties would not be likely to
tell US or put the information IN our way; but we
belierc that the money OF British Manufacturers
was contributed TO aid Mr. Folks election. Why
should they refuse 10 serve their interests when
the opportunity was so palpably presented?
