rHE n. 7. HERALD AND pREs1-
O6NN RAINING
ihe y. 7. fterad denies our assertion
hat its friendship is like that Of bears
it hugs it kills, or greatly bruises.
1t ssys It supported jackson, and asks TIL
umphsnt1y, whether it Killed him? We
reply that 80 immense was the popularity
Of the hero Of New Orleans, that fifty |
Hcralds could not hurt him Hc was elect
ed not by the aid Of the Satanic, but in |
spite Of its unwholesome support Besides,
at that day-thirty-fye yeags ago, the
Herald was Just struggling into life and no.
tice, and possessed little influence of anv
sort, but that little wss evil then a. now,
1t says it supported Van Buren in 1885,
and did not kill him. It was Gen. jackson
that elected Van. The Heroh was Of
small account ut the time. and vas too
busy h,ack-mailing the business and public
men Of New York to nav much attention

r,ha H.1M stun;f,v asserta that it was
Mainly ;nstrnncnta1 in defeating Lewis
cesa IN 1s4s. and clectine Gen. Taylor.
For ;,s information We will recall o little
tom of ,,nl;t;c.1 history. Did the HeraN
ever hear Of the Buffalo Barnburncr Con-
ventton which nominated Van Butenf
We'll that was what hest Gen. Cass, It
split the Democratic party in twin and
gave the Empire State to Gen. Taylor, who
rot 1853 electoral votes to 1o7 for Cass. But
substract the SO cast by New York, and
give them to Cass and it exactly 1everses
the result. giving Cass 1853. and leaving
TAYLOR but 127. What had the Herald to
do with making this rupture in the Demo-
CRITIC ranksf Nothing. But it helped to
kin Gen. TAYLOR alter he was elected. It
and its CLIQUE. insisted On his pursuing !

into thc cTms Of the Calhoun Commercials
They honnded and harrassed the eooj

successor Fillmore, and ye au know

councils, and soon PLAYED out, We recol.

became the organ of the Infamous John
