Received. Of james G Bennett the sum of fifty dol
lars for the benefit Of the american Female Guardian
Society, Home of the Friendless being part
of $3.50 sent from London to influence improperly the
american press but appropriated to Objects
For the Elk. Com. Of the Home.
We have yet two hundred dollars remaining Of
this frst and probably the last, instalment of the
twelve hundred and fifty dollar bride frsm certain
stockholders and abolitoniss of London for the de-
ieat Of Gen. Walbridge for Congress. This balance
we shall also appropriate to the relief of some Of our
charitable societies, fast possible and thus we

charity from base attempt at bribery and corrup-

stain or reproach, and all attempts to defame him,
from London or elsewhere. must fall to the ground
