find out ere long. And while we earnestly urge
our readers to vote the Union electoral ticket,
we also trust that they will select for Congress,
Judges and Assembly, the best men, no matter
whether they come from Tammsny or Mozart,
whether they support Douglas or Breckenridge,
whether they are regular or irregular.
TIE BECOME JOURNALS or PARTY PLUMBER
AND THE New York HERALD.-Our readers will
remember that among the curiosities of the Co.
vods investigation at Washington last winter,
It was disclosed, in the testimony of the proprie-
tor Of the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, that that
paper, with no other claim than it beggarly
condition, had been in the receipt Of some six
thousand dollars year, more or less, from the
printing of the Post Office blanks, said printing
being executed by Cornelius Wendell, in
Washington, and that it was substantially in the
evidence before said committee that without
some such sops or subsidies from the public
treasury, in the way of charity, the Pensasylva
MAN must have died of starvation. 1t had lived
upon these sops and subsidies when under the
control Of Forney; but, having been turned
adrift by Mr.. Buchanan, Forney sold himself
to the republicans, and they have set him on
his pins again with his new paper.
Meantime, the gratuities to the Penns yLaaiaa
from the Post Office blanks having been cut Of
by act Of Congress, it has bad hard struggle
to keep its head above water, and we dare say
that. with Lincoln's election, it will be one ola
numerous gang of LIVELY chance party organs
that will go under. To aid the democratic
cause in the late Pennsylvania election, our
generous Union conservatives Of this city
sent over to Philadelphia some thousands
Of dollars-perhaps as much as fifty thousand In
all. What became of that money we cannot
tell; but it is quite probable that good por-
ton of 1t went into the empty pockets Of the
little ForDeys Of the office OF the Pe,u,syI-
udnian. The big Forney, in 1856, was entrust-
ed In this way with the sum Of fifty thousand
dollars of New York contributions; but when
called upon by Mr.. Covode to account for it,
the vouchers had been burned; and that is all
we know about it. The hungry fellows of the
Pennsyudnian Of the present day, having ex-
hausted their resources, are becoming clamor.
GUS. It is remarkable, too, that whenever
these fellows wish to advertise themselves for
sale, they get up hue and cry that the New
YORK HERALD has been sold.
Thus, in the last call Of the Pe,rnsyluanian, 1t
appears that the HERALD has been sold to the
black republicans. The sum is not mentioned;
but as our sale during this campaign has al
ready been published, once TO the Breckenridge
party for fifty thousand, and once to the Bell
Everett party for fifty thousand, we guess that
the republicans, in their purchase, have had to
pay at least hundred thousand for their whis-
tie. In 1856, we remember, the HERALD was
first sold BY our trading contemporaries
to Live Oak George" for fifty thousand; but
be was very soon cut out by Fremont with his
splendid equivalent Of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, when IL is probable that
poor Fremont was not worth two hundred and
fifty cents.
The absolute independence of this journal is
perplexing puzzle which our beggarly pro
vincial party newspapers cannot comprehend.
They have no more idea of our cash resources
than they have of the commercial supremacy
of New York. There are some very respecta-
BILE States in this Union the annual regular re-
ceipts and expenditures of which are less than
those Of the NEW YeRK Herald establishment.
This Office, too, always pays its debts when
due, pays literally, and never repudiates an
honest claim against 1t nor hesitates in settling
IL. which is more than can be said even OF the
great State Of Pennsylvania. The HsRaLp is
not for sale. A million Of dollars cash down.
would not buy It. When such starve!ing parti.
san hangers on "a the PennsyUdnian can com
prehend this fact they will appreciate the folly
Of selling to HERALD with every charge In the
currents Of public opinion.
BRrTIsu FLrNEYIsN ABRo,D.-We see that
the servants Of the Princes party expressed
their intense delight at their departure from
this country, the surroundings of which are
altogether too democratic for John Thomas
finer feelings and acute perceptions. John
Thomas called this " blasted" country and
really couldn't see what bis master could find
agreeable in it Curiously enough, the flunkeys
Of the foreign press-the Arrowsmith Of the
London Times, and the Hon. Grantley Berke-
ley-agreed in opinion with the gentlemen's
gensem0. The Prince, the Duke Of Newcastle
and the other gentlemen In the royal party
were delighted with their trip, but Mr.
Plush and Mr.. Arrowsmith were In q state
Of profound disgust over It. These latter
gentry represent Q certain class Of Briton
who travels all over the world with his
eyes shut and his enlarged mind fixed upon
Temple Bar For him there are no beef stealxs
