The World Yesterday announced no new fact
in stating that Il new party i ia process OF orsani-

trolling interest IN national affairs. The gentle
men whom il represents "a engaged in the move
ment are Gdeun j. Tucker. Fred A Talmal.e,
George W. Morton. James Greere. Augusta,
Schell, james E kelrigrn, and the bruthers
Wood. The programme Is understood to be:
|. Opposition 10 the emancipation and anti
slavery policy of the Administration.
, Opposition to it, financial policy.
3. Opposition To its cOntscation policy. its ir
regular and unconstitutional action, and its al
Iced cortuptions.
The ne~ party i said % be essentially and ab
solutely devoted to the Union. and to be ready
to maintain il 1T all hazards. Ii is simply op
posei u the sectional policy OF the Government.
and offers a rational platform on which the Union
men ol every State can stand.
We reserve any expression Of opinion a. to the
merits OF the new party until il sets forth IT, own
platform. and simply state facts from which our
readers can draw their own conclusions. We
would state, however. that Il common sentiment
seems 10 pervade the whole country as to the ne

any that at present exists The extension of our

A special dispatch 10 the Cincinnati papers
states that Senator SIMMONS. cf Rhode Island, a
very violent Republican patriot. has been making
the snug sum of .ttty thousand dollars for OBJ
tanning contracts for his friends from the " ar
Department. He seems TO think it all right thus
to use his official position and take advantage Of

arrives 10 investigate the conduct of the officials
connected with the war there will be discovered
thousands of just such patriots as Senator SIN
MONS. Read aud remember:
The Commission ON Contracts, composed of
ex-Secretar, Holt and Robert Dtle Owen, have
submitted TO Congress their report. showing that
two citizens OF Rhode Island obtained contracts
with the War Department for Il certain number
OF smiI arms. through the influence of Senator
Simmons. cot that State. for which that Senator
was to receive fifty thousand dollars. The evi.
dence To be submitted with this statement shows
that ten thousand dollars have been received.
Senator Simmons vas called ON and gave his
evidence. and the whole transaction did not ap-
pear to be concealed. but WIS open. So fr AS il
regards the Senator and his clients. the Commits
mission comment With great severity on this
