Poor old Bennett has been hammering away in
the Herald, day after day, coaxing new party
into the field. He has published the names Of about
one hundred and twenty black. blue and gray
spirits, or merchants; such as Belmont, Marcy
Hart, John j. Cisco, Sam. Butterworth, Charles
o'Connor, Chas. NJ. Leupp, yerplank, Isaac Bell.
etc., etc. These men have not probably voted in
zen years. They are perfectly powerless as poll
uciails and. as for money, they contribute less
alah any other class. Bennett hopes to get their

Will go to work and commit suicide The meeting
OF the Herald Purity Party was first held at the
Everett House in Twenty Third street. Clamp. the
Proprietor, made them give security for their room
| and the champagne frolic and supper, with which
the Herald Purity Party inaugurated their first
meeting. The bill was sl72O "A, and only about
seventy persons present; but, them they had reed
birds, omelette souflee boquets, and perfumery
from the druggists under the Everett House,
Subscriptions passing down town by the

for SO 600 the first pop! John j. Cisco subscribed
for the U. $ Treasury $4,000. As for himself he
would not give cent, although when he was
Chairman of the Tammany Hall General Commit

scribe two ten cent pieces, to bury a feow-mem-
her, who died poor! He, also subscribed $50. for
some purpose, and when called upon to paw. de-

Charles A. Secor, James E. Cooley, Jas 7. Brady,
James Lux 5. II. Butterworth, James B. Nicholson
Oliver Charluk, and fifty others, subscribed only
$1,000 each. Watts Sherman, Augustus Belmont,
Francis B. Cutting, W. F. Havermeyer NJ "
Scharill, and five Others only subscribed the same
sum as W. B. Aston, viz: $4,000 each. Others
subscribed sums from $500 up to $4,000. No sub
scription was taken for less sum than $500. Ben.
nett subscribed $4,000, payable quarterly. So you
will see that the Herald Purity Merchants are going
it with perfect looseness.
We had high time here on the 9Th inst. The
johnson contract was to 90 into effect upon that
day. Old tolewog, the P. NJ. General, came on
to the city and hoisted the P. NJ G. flag on the
steeple of the city Post-of6ce. Messengers ran
fercely from point to another, all that lirelone
day. Johnson was sent for. A. G. Sloo was sent
for, but would not come. 10. White left town,
The immortal Commodore Cornelius smoked eighty
one cigars, between A. NJ. and half.past P. NJ,
when p. NJ. G. Holt announced to him that the
California mail contract was his for nine months, at
slS7,000 johnson had caved, and agreed to let
off the Government, prorided such sum would re.
lease Johnson and his respectable bondsmen. This
was agreed upon, and then the contract was given
to Commodore Vanderbilt The Panama Railroad

months. Poor Sloo it is bad business for him!

The Old Line Wings in this city are up, whiskers
dyed, and ready to sail in for local fight this fall
and great Presidential fight in 1860. They have
changed their name from Wing to Composition

The party is rich. million of good silver dollars
could be raised in hour and yet this great party
great in its glorious historic recollections-great
in its present active minds-great in its future
hopes-needs one thing. 1t wants an organ. 1t
wants a daily newspaper. It has wealth to sup
port twenty daily papers, 1t lacks energy to start
one. Oh! Bninger, H. Ketchum, Fred. Tallmadge,
Ogden Hoffman, and thousands of others, whose
checks are good for 10000 in city banks, without
the teller's signature "good,' why don't you start
a daily Wing paper? SALEM
