DoN BENNETT.
Among those who have volunteered to
supply their ready abuse Of the Tarrytown
speech, ! notice the editor Of the New York
Her1d the infamous James Gordon Bennett
Addressing as | do a mixed audience, be-
cause, presume, this statement will be read
by men Of all pa. ties / am sure that COM
init no offence when | recall public attention
to the manner in which this man conducted
his newspaper during the campaign of 1856.
A long life of shame, a life frightened by no
single deed of virtue a life of solfshncss, Of
jealousy, of ostracism, was fttngN ilustra-
ted in the columns OF his newspaper during
that memorable struggle Absent in Europe
whom Mr.. Buchanan returned from England
Bennett came to New York shortly after and
cast about to sec which of the great parties
had the best chance Of success. Finally. his
years of hatred of James buchanan obtained
the mastery. and he placed himself in the
hands of the friends of Fremont--whcther or
not for a consideration am unable to pr3rc.
This man had grown rich In a career of viii
lainy. His attacks upon personal character.
his terrorism over actors and actresses. his
reckless utrigucs against business men and
business interests. an combined. had filed his
pockets, and he now aspircd to a respectable
representative position at some foreign court
1t is stated that when he applied for such a
position under the Administration of Presi-
dent Pierce his poGtion was secuted. and he
became the assaiiant of that Administration.
How he toilcd to defeat Mr.. buchanan. the
columns Of his journal will show. He seemed
to have abandoned all remorse. His agents
penetrated every section of the Union: they
hung about Lancaster. whore Mr.. buchanan
resided. tbey linrered at washington. tbcv
were i'm the South and Ina the North. and ali
talked the Same way and rioted in the same
common calumuies Tboro was NOT fl fbri-

Mr.. Buchanan said to me one dav taking

visit to Wbcatland. .Nhv ann Thus to he
traduced and pnrsued by the Infamous lpoyc:
Have no friends who win visit New york
and punish him as he deserves; His c,ys
should be taken off in the public streets I

Thousands of Democratic editors through
out the country felt that Bennett deserved 20
be castigated, and at the solicitation of a
number of distinguished men, then in Phia-
dephia, | sat down and prepared a somewhat
caustic article, showing him up in faithful Coz
ors. Mr.. Buchanan astonished me by call
