and Isaiah Rynders were appointed delegates, but
not until after they had given written pledges that
they would vote as unit for Dickinson, and finally
for Douglas, when the trial balloting commenced.
The News is owned by Wood, and talks nonsense.
Yesterday it attacked by name several Of our most
respectable Democrats, and charged them as acting |
as bullies at Syracuse. One of the SO designated
Tammany men, named Frank McCabe, indignant at
such an atrocious libel, applied to Woods editor,
George Thompson, for redress. Thompson WAS i'm
pertinent and refused to contradict until he received
Woods permission to do 80. McCabe was indignant
and gave Thompson severe thrashing. He was
held to bail in the sum of $500. McCabe told the
Judge he was sorry that he struck the poor miser
the poltroon who would not strike back" Attacking
editors, as general rule, is wrong, but when day
after day the editorial columns of such papers as the
Herald and News are filled with the most unheard Of
lies what are the wronged men to do Bennett boasts
that he has scared the judges to such degree that
no suit could be recovered against him. however just

with his ISLANDERS, that if his pockets cannot be
touched his brains can be. think Bennett is fool.
hardy in provoking the vengeance of men who are
not likely to lie down and quietly sleep under his
attacks in the Herald. l may be mistaken. Bennett
may rule New York with a rod of iron, but doubt
it, The course be is pursuing will soon bring matters
to crisis. There are hundreds Of men here who
have old scores to settle with Bennett and his friends
have advised him to go armed. This would not save
him for the class of men he is attacking would
shoot him with as little remorse as If he was mad

egates to the National Union Opposition Convention
Should that body, when it meets, nominate good,
time honored old Whig the vote in this State for him
would be very heavy. The Wings have much to CON

The darkest hour Ct is sad) is just before day
dawns" 1t may prove so in politics, and amid the
confusion of universal Democratic Presidential asp
rants, the new National Opposition party may have
chance. Who, in these changing political times,
dare say nay? Not /. | should not be surprised at
anything-not even to Mr.. G. Rves, of Virginia,
elected President in 1860. His chances for the Oppo
sition are better than those of Wise for the Democ
racy.
Yesterday was ,rhite day. Our illustrious Scott
embarked for the Pacific, where new field is opened

The steamer Great Eastern from all accounts, will
| reach Portland early next month. Thousands would
have gone out to see her. 1t is now reported that
she will come from Portland to New York, piloted
through the Sound by Capt. Comstock, who formerly
commanded the Baltic, and more recently acted as
commander and delivered the Grand Admiral to

steamer intend to come to New York, there are very
few who will not spend $40 to visit Portland to see
her there.
Senator Cooper, Of Pennsylvania, has made 9
gentle Presidential demonstration. His letter about

Frank Pierce is going to be candidate for th,
Presidency-that is fixed fact.
