Correction.

An error occurred in our notice oil the
speakers who addressed the people from the
Balcony of the Palmer House, on Tuesday
evening, which requires correction. 1t was
Major G. j. HELM, of Newport, Kentucky,
and not Ex-Governor HELM, as we stated,
who made the closing address.
This correction is due to both of those
gentlemen, more particularly the former, who
would not wish to be placed in position to
give any one reason to suspect that ne was
willingly appropriating to himself the pres
tige of Gov. HELMS name and reputation.
Major HELM needs no such adventurous
aid TO give him notoriety. His sterling quail
flies as man and speaker are sufficient to
give him all the prominence to which he
aspires, and fully justify all that we said oil
him in our brief notice.
Bennett Putting the Spurs to His
Confederates.
BENNETT, in his paper Of Monday, gives
the Black Republican leaders thorough
eombing for their crawfshing movements in
Congress. Whatever may be BENEFITS
ability to Judge correctly Of human charac-
ter generally, there can be no possible doubt
of the fact that he understands the make and
material of his political bed-fellows, the
Black Republicans, to perfection.
He laws it down as point established be-
yond all controversy, that "the Republican
members of Congress are deficient in stami-
nav-that from Speaker BANKS down to
the latest converts to Republicanism, they all
lack courage and self-confdence. They can
talk, and iabber, and write by the hour, Oh
the day, or the week, but when it comes to
sction, they are weak in the knees, and very
slight contest wears them out. The least
noise or clamor scares them out Of theil
senses, and they are ready to retreat and
wheel about and beg to be forgiven"
Most true, Mr.. BENNETT. No man ever
hit the nail more pat on the head than yod
have done in that one short paragraph. Take
from Black Republicanism its disposition 10
foam and buster, and you take away the
head, tail and body of the whole concern.
Again, BENNETT says that, instead of man.
ifesting the courage which is Just as requisite
to politician as a soldier, they have giver
way at the first onset, and by thus suffering
defeat, have, without question, injured Their
prospects of success in the great contest thai
is at hand"
II by their rascally hcb-nobbing, these
political eharlatans have inflicted fresh in.
jury upon their already sadly damaged
prospects" they certainly are to be pitied
for heaven knows they have been bad enough
from the beginning, and have been constitu.
tionally growing worse from day to day.
Here follows slash at GREEDY, BEKcKER
BRYANT, RAYMOND, DANA, PARKER, PHIL
LIPS, ct id Omsne genus, that tells like the
thrust of grenadier's broad-sword:
We have a misgiving that many Of the
men who flourish as republican leaders are not
fitted for the stormy life of politics. They are
essayists, philosophers and literary men; afraid
of strife. and easily frightened. If these are
to be the leaders Of the party throughout, al
ideas Of success may be abandoned. Hitherto
beetle and demoralized regime Of which Frank.
lin Pierce is the last expression, has given tc
the republicans strength which has surprised
no one more than themselves but they will
never be able to retain make of this
strength unless they find more courage than
they have hitherto shown. It will be as easy
to ruin rs it was to raise them.
Most potent and valorous JAMES GORDON
BENNETT II the imbecile old grannies in
breeches, who lead the Abolition cohorts In
the present contest, cannot be induced to
make themselves "less conspicuous, ," all
idea of success may be abandoned"
The impudence of the Herald in demand
ing that the political preachers, essayists,
philosophers, poets and literary pundits who
have taken Fremont and his cause in their
charge, should throw up their co mmissions
at this late stage ofthe contest is most per-
feet specimen of Bennettim. 1t was those
men who gave life and soul to Black Repub-
licaHism. It was those men who brought
JOHN c. Fremont on the tapis, and to whom
he will owe his election, if he should be
elected
1t is these men who will give tone to his
administration, direct its policy, and monop-
Ollie all the important offices.
Iftheir folly and imbecility are so much to
be dreaded as belonging to mere party lead
ers, before the election, how much more are
they to be dreaded when they shall bear d.
rectly upon the Administration of the gov
eminent
In his anxiety to rescue FREMONT from the
hands of these men. BENNETT has given one
Of the strongest of reasons why he should
not be elected.
