Bennett got me to introduce -Alfred Carson as a Candidate for Mayor, -just after his exciting Fire Report of 1850. I -wrote several articles in favor of Carson for -the Mayoralty, and Bennett published them, -when lo! one rainy morning, I awoke, and -opened the <cite>Herald</cite>, and the hypocritical old -villain had another Candidate. I asked him -if he intended to drop my old friend Carson, -and he said no, but he thought he would try -to bring another candidate into the field, just -for a little fun, and that I could write about -three editorials a week for Carson, and flatter -him as much as I chose, and he would publish -them. This was on Monday. On Wednesday, -I caught him closeted with a formidable candidate -for the Mayoralty, and on Saturday, he -very cautiously introduced a third Candidate -for the Mayor’s honors. As these -were all wealthy men, and as Carson was -very poor, and perceiving that Bennett unquestionably -intended to sell Carson, and perhaps -had already done so, I went to him in a -towering rage, and charged him with treachery -to myself and Carson. He smiled like -Richard and Iago, and assured me that he -should support Carson down to the last hour -of the election. But I could not believe him; -so I went to Carson, on Sunday morning, and -wrote his famous declination of the Mayoralty, -which rocked the parties of that day to -their foundations with infinite delight, as every -traffic politician had trembled to his toes, since -the introduction of Carson’s potent and honest -name for the Mayoralty. When I carried -Carson’s Card to the <cite>Herald</cite> office, on Sunday -evening, Mr. Bennett was absent, having gone -to the country with Judge Russell and his -lady. But Frederic Hudson was there—(his -Aminadab Sleek Secretary,) who expostulated, -and strove by every artifice in his prolific resources, -to induce me not to publish Carson’s -Card until I had seen Mr. Bennett. But I demanded -him to let the Card appear on the -following morning, and told him that himself -and Bennett should be ashamed of themselves -for striving to sell Carson through me, and -that I believed Bennett had already received -thousands of dollars for his contemplated sell -of Carson, in favor of one of the wealthy candidates. -My withdrawal of Carson led to the -election of Ambrose C. Kingsland, a very illiterate -man, and one of the meanest of the -human species, and the oiliest and biggest -conspirator and public thief since the days of -the Roman Cataline. In 1853, Bennett asked -me to introduce the name of Alderman A. A. -Denman, of the Sixteenth Ward, as a candidate -for Mayor, to whom I was imparting the -rudiments of the English language, at his house -in Nineteenth street. Denman was Chairman -of the Committee that reported favorably at -my request, on awarding the Corporation -Printing to the <cite>Herald</cite> at $3,000 per annum, -and the other journals at $1,000. Bennett -seemed grateful to Denman for his favorable -Printing Report, and I really thought he was -sincere in his contemplated advocation of -Denman for the Mayoralty; and I saw Denman, -and he permitted me to use his name in -connection with the Mayoralty, and I began -to write articles, and published them in the -<cite>Herald</cite>, strongly recommending Denman to -the Mayoralty. At this time, Denman was -one of the most popular men in the democratic -party, and his annunciation for Mayor, -confused the leaders and aspirants of all parties. -Presto! Bennett announces another -candidate, in a sort of a half-and-half black -mail way, and I instantly withdrew Denman, -who was sadly disappointed at the loss of the -Mayoralty honors, and joined the most bloated -thieves of all parties, in the odious Common -Counsel of 1852 and 1853, and he was soon -forever lost as an honorable public man. And -now this Scotch reprobate comes forward, -without a blush on his vicious cheeks, and -prates of a Tax Payer’s Party, in order to effect -some hellish thievish purpose. Perhaps -his object is to nominate Judge Russell, or -Fire Marshal Baker, or Galbraith, or some of -his roguish go-betweens and thimble-riggers -for Mayor, so that he can occupy the pleasant -relations of Peter Cooper to Mayor Tiemann, -his amiable son-in-law. But how the intelligent -tax payers of the Metropolis can be so -easily and so often bamboozled by this superficial -Scotch Juggler, is a mystery to me, -when they all know that he has always favored -vice, and stabbed virtue. And if there -ever was a candidate for office, during Bennett’s -long editorial career, whom he did not -sell, or if there ever was a truly virtuous aspirant -for public honors, whose election Bennett -ever sincerely advocated before the people, -without a cash consideration, I should like -to see the most extraordinary anomaly. Bennett -very ingeniously plasters his victims with -disgusting panegyric, for a brief period, when -he lets loose the dogs of Tartarus, and while they -devour them, he fills his coffers with gold from -every candidate in the field, to whom he has -pledged his support. But he is very old, and -the devil will soon have him, and millions -will rejoice when old Nick drags him to his -fervent realms, and begins his merited tortures. -And it will require wasteless years to burn -the sins from his infamous and loathsome and -nauseous carcase. The creation of James Gordon -Bennett’s Tax Payer’s Party, after his -cash advocation of all the abandoned scamps -of America to office for thirty years, is the -most amusing proposition of the age. And -yet the omnipotent ballot stuffers may come -to his rescue, and adopt his plans. And why -should they not? Is not Barnum again -abroad, and about to shake the world with -another humbug. Barnum has grown prodigiously -affluent since the Hard times began, -and since money became scarce, and since -people began to starve, and since the elements -of Pluto leveled his Oriental Palace to the -ground, (which was highly insured!) and -above all, since he took as partner, that cunning -old rat, James W. Gerard, who, like Dick -Connolly and Simeon Draper, is ever found -in all political camps. Gerard was the real -originator of the Joice Heath imposture, and -all of Barnum’s humbugs, and has borne him -through all his financial clock troubles, for -which he has got enough from Barnum to enable -him to sustain his chariots and postilions -and magnificent establishment in Gramercy -Park until he dies. It was Gerard who introduced -Kingsland for Mayor, and other -successful candidates, and, in the dark, advocated -Fernando Wood’s course down to -his disastrous exodus from public life. And -it was Gerard who sustained Matsell through -all his infamous career, down to the famous -meeting in the Tabernacle, and in the Legislative -lobby, even going into the seats of -members, and coaxing them in various ways -to spare Matsell. And it was Gerard who, -after Wood had fallen, went into the camp of -Tiemann, where he is now, in order to cut -the throats of Tiemann and the Coopers the -first opportunity, and is at this moment, in -collusion with Bennett in the formation of a -Tax Payer’s Party. “All things to all men” -is the motto of Gerard, and he has played his -card adroitly for nearly half a century. But -he has now probably got his last set of false -teeth, and his last wig, and will probably soon -die of old age like his old friend Bennett, who -have operated together in ambuscade, for thirty -unbroken years, in all the political villainy that -has been concocted during this long and eventful -<span class='pageno' id='Page_2'>2</span>period. No matter who succeeds in the -elections, Gerard and Bennett are in the triumphant -camps, as now: Bennett in Buchanan’s -White House, and Gerard in Mayor -Tiemann’s confidence, and both playing into -each others hands, like Draper and Connolly. -Picolomini is the last card that these jugglers -will play. Gerard is a snob and a dandy, and -an Opera exquisite, and it was he, (through -Barnum,) who introduced Jenny Lind to the -Americans, and got Bennett, for a large sum, -to abuse Barnum and Jenny Lind, as an advertisement. -Bennett did not get less than -$20,000 from <em>Gerard</em> and Barnum for his daily -abuse of Jenny Lind and Barnum. I was -daily in the <cite>Herald</cite> office in those days, and I -often saw Barnum closeted with Frederic -Hudson, and James Gordon Bennett. And -Gerard and Barnum have already arranged -with Bennett, and paid him the cash down, to -abuse Picolomini, while the <cite>Times</cite> and -<cite>Tribune</cite> and many other journals are to be -paid to praise her. And such a yell as we -shall have on her arrival, will frighten the -rats and cats. For, in this funny world, blarney -is regarded as sincere praise and evidence -of merit, while detraction is persecution, -which verdant people won’t tolerate, and -especially when hurled at such fascinating -creatures as Fanny Elssler, or Jenny Lind, or -Picolomini. This is certainly a very curious -world, and, like Dr. Franklin, I am curious to -know if our spiritual existence is to be as -curious as our material; and I am extremely -anxious to learn if Bennett, Barnum, and Gerard -are to have an eternal abode in Heaven?</p> - -<div class='fancy'> - -<div class='nf-center-c0'> -<div class='nf-center c008'> - <div>Stephen H.

He sits, -with one hand on his heart, and the other -over his temples and unearthly eyes, and is -apparently absorbed in grief and prayer. The -silence of the tomb pervades the martial -audience, and all seem to regard the hour as -the most momentous in human history, as the -return of the officers and soldiers to their -homes, at this solemn crisis of the Revolution, -might prove to be the funeral of liberty, and -of patriots throughout the World. Washington -approaches the desk, and stands like a -statue, when neither whisper nor respiration -can be heard, throughout the mournful throng. -With haggard cheeks, and without repose for -three successive nights, he wipes the copious -tears from his blood-shot eyes, and moistens -his parched mouth with water, and strives -hard to articulate, but his big heart is so full, -and his lips quiver so rapidly, and his tears -fall so fast, that his speech is paralysed, and -his vision blinded. The officers regret their -rashness, and breathe heavy sighs, and recline -their heads in silent grief, and some weep -aloud, which kindles their feelings into a -general lamentation, and the patriotic ladies -thrill the entire assemblage with their piercing -ejaculations. Washington strives to summon -his wonderful self-possession, (which -never deserted him till now,) and he rallies -his resources like the dead of the resurrection, -when he breathes these figurative truths, in -the voice of a celestial being: “My beloved -Companions: You know that I have grown -gray in your service, and now you perceive that -I am growing blind.” And while he utters -these touching words, his iron nerve again -succumbs, and he moistens his manuscript -with the waters of his supernatural heart. He -seats himself, and buries his face, and weeps -as in his spotless childhood. The valiant -officers, (who had never faltered amid the -carnage and thunders of battle,) are utterly -overwhelmed by Washington’s tears, and they -depart for their respective quarters, and relate -what has transpired, which infuses new fortitude -and patriotism and unconquerable valor -in the breasts of the desponding and mutinous -soldiers, who rush to arms with the wild and -irresistible impetuosity of Greene and Putnam, -and the liberties of America are soon achieved. -What a withering rebuke is this to the -public thieves and traitors of the present generation. -The only hope of our country is in -the early appearance of a race of men like -Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, -Adams, Hamilton, Jackson, Calhoun, Clay, -and Webster. With such corrupt and brainless -wretches at the head of the American -Press as Bennett, Greeley, and Raymond, -with their gangs of mercenary scribblers in -collusion with official robbers in the Municipal, -State, and National Capitols, may the -Good Being who heard the prayers of Washington -(amid the snow, and blood, and hunger, -and nakedness of the Revolution) have mercy -on the great body of our people, who are -threatened with general pillage and despotism -by the vampires whom editors—in collusion -with bands of thieves and assassins—fraudulently -elect to the highest posts of emolument -and honor. The official robbers of a nation’s -treasury are the uncompromising foes of the -toiling millions, and of human freedom. O -then let the virtuous and industrious classes -rally, and drive back the pernicious burglars -of their firesides. And on the coming National -Sabbath, let the pure and patriotic -youth and meritorious age go up to the Altars -of our Fathers and our common God, and -swear a ceaseless crusade against the plunderers -of our country, and the dastard monsters -who would distract, and divide, and alienate -the affections of our countrymen, on whose -fidelity to Washington and the Union impend -the hopes and happiness and liberty of the -human race for eternal years.</p> - -<div class='figcenter id002'> -<img src='images/curlyline.jpg' alt='' class='ig001' /> -</div> -<p class='c007'><i>Let the Supervisors</i> watch the operations of -Richard B.

Tiemann’s Forced Seduction of a Lady on Randall’s Island—Simeon Draper’s Lascivious Propensities—Most Damning Revelations.</h2> -</div> - -<p class='c007'>Some years since, there was a lovely domestic -circle in our city, consisting of a husband, -wife, and three children. The father -died, and the widow was cast upon the world, -without means to feed and clothe and educate -her precious offspring. She had been the favorite -daughter of affluent parents, and was -educated by the ablest teachers. In conversation, -she was eloquent and impassioned, and -her fluent and melodious words, as they flowed -from her red and pouting lips, and her even -and pearly teeth, fascinated all who had the -envied fortune to linger on her luxuriant language, -and pretty smiles, and dimples, and -most extraordinary purity of expression. -Governor Simeon Draper fastens his voluptuous -eyes upon her, and her fate is sealed. -Three years since, Gov. Draper proposes that -she become a matron on Randall’s Island, and -she accepts his proposition, and he procures -her a situation. After she began to discharge -her matron duties, Governors Draper and Bell -(now Supervisor), entered her domestic apartment -on Randall’s Island, and asked her what -she had in the next room, pointing their fingers -to her bed room. She said they might -look for themselves. They replied: “What -are you afraid of?” She said: “I am not -afraid, but I do not desire to go into a bedroom -with two gentlemen.” They then seized -her, and strove to drag her into her bed room, -when she resisted and finally screamed, which -alarmed them, and they withdrew their hands, -and said: “You need not be afraid to go with -us into the bed room, singly, as we know that -you have let a <em>friend</em> go with you into your -bed room ever since your husband died, and -enjoy your fascinations to his heart’s content.” -She said: “If my <em>friend</em> has done the thing -of which you speak, neither of you shall.” -Governors Draper and Bell then retired, but -Draper soon returned, and proposed to buy -two cloaks for two handsome girls who were -about to leave the Institution, and said that -she should go to the city and buy them, and at -the same time purchase one for herself, regardless -of price, and send the bill to his office, and -he would pay it. She objected on the ground -that if she accepted the proposition, he would -expect licentious favors in return. Draper -said that he was so anxious to stay with her, -that he wouldn’t mind giving her $50 in cash. -She said that she feared her <em>friend</em> would -hear of it, and withdraw his affections, and -might kill him, and perhaps her, as he truly -loved her, and was of a very jealous and impulsive -nature. Draper said she needn’t be -afraid, as he could never hear of it. She -then accepted his proposition to go to the city -and purchase the cloaks, and directed the bill -to be sent to his office, which was done, and -he paid it. At this time, a fervent friendship -was budding into bloom and blossom, between -herself and Governor Daniel F. Tiemann, to -whom she immediately disclosed all that had -transpired between herself and Governors -Bell and Draper. Tiemann affected great exasperation, -and wrote her statement, (which -terribly excoriated Draper,) with the design -of presenting it to the Ten Governors in open -session. This alarmed her, and she told her -<em>friend</em> what had occurred, and that Governor -Tiemann was about to expose Governors Bell -and Draper to the Board of Ten Governors, -and to the whole world, to which he strongly -objected, as it might involve them in a common -ruin, and he urged her to request Governor -Tiemann not to present the document. -And he assured her, if she permitted Governor -Tiemann to do this favor for her, that he -might soon want her smiles and beauty and -caresses and embraces, (like Bell and Draper), -as a requital for his apparently disinterested -and meritorious services in her behalf. She -saw Tiemann, and the document was suppressed. -Draper heard of her movements, -and became jealous of her partiality for Tiemann, -and he had her suspended. But Tiemann -had her reinstated. When Bell and -Draper’s time expired as Alms House Governors, -Gov. Tiemann immediately resolved that -her <em>friend</em> should not visit the Island, as the -first movement to his contemplated seduction -of the beautiful matron. And he was so determined, -that he resorted to the daring effort -to exclude him, even after he obtained a permit. -For Gov. Tiemann clearly saw that -while her <em>friend</em> visited her, he (Tiemann) -would have a poor chance to gratify his own -lust. Tiemann finally succeeded in ejecting -her <em>friend</em> from the Island, and on a dark and -rainy afternoon, slyly meandered into her -apartment, and after some loving smiles, and -dulcet words, and melting sighs, and tender -glances, he drew his chair towards her, -and began to feel of her. She long resisted -his extraordinary amorous movements, and -struck him twice, and scratched and bit him, -and terribly exhausted him and herself in -their mutual struggles, and thought she had -conquered him. But in his last desperate -rally, he overpowered and vanquished her, -and she had to let him go his whole length, -and he accomplished his most hellish purpose. -Her boy was living in the West, and wrote to -her, that he was not only displeased with his -relatives, but with the western country, and -desired to return to New York. She showed -the letter to Gov. Tiemann, and told him that -she had not the money to spare to defray his -expenses home. He asked her how much it -would cost. She said $15, when he gave her -$40, assuring her that he would not have it -known for the world, that he let her have -money to pay her son’s expenses home. She -quieted his fears, by assuring him that she -would never disclose it. She sent the money -to her boy, and he came home. Gov. Tiemann -then got him a situation, but the boy had seen -Tiemann take improper liberties with his -mother, and as he strongly suspected he had allured -her from the paths of virtue, he very -indignantly refused to accept the situation -tendered by Gov. Tiemann. But in eight -months afterwards, Gov. Tiemann obtained -another place for the boy, and after unceasing -importunity, he finally persuaded the boy to -accept a situation in Broadway, where he now -is. Last Autumn she had an interview with -her <em>friend</em> in this city, when he charged her -with sexual intercourse with Governor Tiemann. -She burst into a tremendous flood of -tears, and cast herself into his arms, and craved -his forgiveness in rending accents. He -asked her why she had long permitted Governor -Tiemann to use her beautiful person. She -said that as he was poor, and Governor Tiemann -rich, and had foiled Draper in her suspension, -and had elegantly furnished her -apartments on the Island, and had paid the -expenses of her boy from the West to the city, -and had got him a good situation in Broadway, -and had made her magnificent donations -in jewelry and apparel, and had let her have -money when she asked him,—and fearing that -if she refused to gratify his lust, he would instantly -have her dismissed as Matron, to endure -again the tortures of penury,—that in -view of all this, she had let him have sexual -intercourse with her whenever he desired. -But that she despised him for his wickedness, -as he was a Church Member, in good standing, -and as he professed to be one of the leading -Reformers of the age. Her <em>friend</em> asked -her how much money he had given her, and -she said: “Quite a large sum, some of which -I have deposited in a Bank,” and she told -him the name of the Bank. She also told -him where the chairs, sofas, mirrors, stoves, -&c., were purchased, and showed him the receipted -bills, which she placed in his hands, -and he has them now. She then besought his -pardon, and assured him that she would leave -the Island, and come and live and die in his -affectionate embraces. He forgave her, and -she returned to the Island, and told Governor -Tiemann that she desired to leave and return -to her <em>friend’s</em> humble abode, which alarmed -Tiemann, who implored her in tears to remain, -and he would protect her as long as he lived, -and when on the eve of death, he would make -ample provision for her support during her -life. They were together in her apartment, -for ten successive hours, in a most exciting -and harrowing scene, when he promised to -give her $500 on the following day, and she -finally yielded, and remained, and is at the -Island now, both as a Matron and as Mayor -Tiemann’s Mistress. Her <em>friend</em> was so exasperated -with her double treachery, that he -went to one of the Ten Governors, (who is -now in the Board,) and disclosed in writing -under his signature the entire villainy of Tiemann. -The Governor in question sent for -Tiemann, and asked him if the statement was -true, when he colored into a ball of fire, and -left in shame and silence. The Governor did -not expose Tiemann, in consequence of his -innocent and interesting family, and his aged -father, and his numerous relatives, including -the versatile Peter Cooper, whose adopted -daughter Mayor Tiemann married. These -revelations will cause the worthy citizens of -New York to bend their heads in sorrow, to -behold a man of Mayor Tiemann’s exalted -professions of purity and piety, guilty of -crimes that should consign him to the rack, -and to an eternal hell.</p> -<div class='pbb'> - <hr class='pb c000' /> -</div> - -<div class='chapter'> - <span class='pageno' id='Page_4'>4</span> - <h2 id='ads' class='c005'>Advertisements—25 Cents a line.</h2> -</div> - -<p class='c007'>Credit—From two to four seconds, or as long as the Advertiser -can hold his breath!

Many small donations -($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt -status with the IRS. - -The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating -charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United -States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a -considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up -with these requirements.
