Buchanan's Administration, and the Buc-
hanan Administration helps to support,
! it seems, James Gordon Bennett and
family. The Herald is favored with adj
vance copies of State documents as the
pet journel Of New York city, and Ben
nett's friends and strikers advanced to
posts of profit and honor who deserve
to suffer more than some of them did in a
Sandman penitentiary-to dangle from
ropes end-if they be really as moral
ly hideous as thus photographed by the
States:
No. /. Mr. Wykoff, Cheralier d Indas-
rie, bearer of dispatches to st. Peters
burg, at eight dollars per day, and tray
cling expenses betrayed. Subsequently
appointed bearer of dispatches to China,
whittier he is about to proceed, at the
same rate of compensation. This person
has been the confidential pimp and scav-
enger ofthe Bennett family since he came
out of the penitentiary of Sardinia-per-
forming all manner of services for his
employees, from major-domo down to
cuisinier. AS the inflated courier, or,
more properly speaking, lacquais of Fan
ny Elssler, he reluctantly consented to act
the part of groomsman at the celebration
of BENEFITS nuptial but becoming indig-
nant at the enormous black mail levy of
Jack Ketch upon the celebrated danseuse,
he suspended his relations with the Ben
netts in high disgust--a long correspon-
dence ensuing on 10th sides, which went
far to establish the fact, that if both had
been locked up for score of years il
Blackwell, even handed justice would not
have been the sufferer. After Wykofi's
notorious degradation, deserted by every
friend but dastardly petite maitre--of
whom We shall speak presently--he re-
canted, the BENEFITS seemingly reIented,
and an entente cordiale, offensive and de-
fensive, ensued, the legitimate workings
of which are to be found in his intimate
connection with the government.
No. 2. Mr. Grund, Francis j. Grund,
the "basest Hessian Of them all'-not
exactly Cherdlier d ndustri, but some
thing, if possible, tenfold worse-a beast
in human form, who provided his neck is
not submitted to halter, nor his body
to dungeon, is ever ready to act on any
side, or on all sides, just as interest may
suggest, for the highest attainable price.
An Austrian Jew of halfway Christian
conversion, he is in morals and in politics
as he is in religion, neither one thing nor
another, and yet all things to all men,
This fellow, as we are advised from
abroad, has been for more than twelve
month a secret agent of the Administra-
ton in Europe, upon salary of ten dol
lars per day and travelling expenses de-
frayed, acting as correspondent for the
Herald, and also for the Union for time.
Whatever other services he has been per-
forming for the country we do not pretend
to state.
No. 8. Mr. Fleuret-a CAeralier d In
dustrie of the rarest professional accom-
plishments--a former dealer in hasoas
conrentiomal-the ami reritable of Wy
kotf, but to what country belonging no
one with whom we have conversed know
eth. This person was the faeori payticu-
lar de Ia famiHe Bennett, and was pen
stoned by the Administration through the
sole influence of that family upon an an
nuity Of two thousand dollars in the bes
towal of the Bordeaux consulate.
No. A. Mr.. Thrasher-a hireling sub
editor of the Herald--sent to Mexico as
bearer of dispatches, and compensated at
the rate Of eight dollars per day, and trav-
cling expenses betrayed.
No. 5. Mr.. Rainey-a Checalier d. H.
da&rse of the shabby genteel order, not
! quite so quick at tricks and shifting as
his more notoriouscoafrere, but willing
minded vendor of all kinds of charlatan-
eries-which he peddled in Ohio, Lousi-
ana, and elsewhere. The precise relation
in which he stood to the Bennett concern
cannot be easily defined, but he was in
full communion with Wykotf and those Of
bis ilk. This person was sent to Liberia
as supercargo of the captured Africans,
at compensation, we suppose, consider
ing the rate at which Wykoff has been
/ paid for his services, of ten dollars day
and travelling expenses.
