Columbia Democrat And Bloomsburg General Advertiser

The Van Wyck Investigating Committee has driven Alexander Cummings out of the World newspaper, and sent him to Europe, in search of his health.

By the way, we hope those very patriotic gentlemen who so liberally voted public funds to carry on and publish in a large volume, the "Covode Investigation," which proved nothing; will now be equally public spirited, and give the people a chance to see the frauds perpetrated by the public plunderers, who under the name of patriotism, deceived the people, defrauded the soldiers and cheated the government.

Drag the Cummingses, the McKinstrys, and Fremonts from their dens; and expose the frauds under which the brave soldiers have starved and shivered, in hunger and nakedness.

And when the volume is published, as we are not in very good odor with the man who was once Speaker of the House at Harrisburg, subsequently attempted the life of Judge Scott, now carries this Congressional District in one pocket, and Grow and the upper District in the other, and under the load puffs and blows about Washington; we trust that our very good friend Dr. John, should he succeed in getting two copies, will present one of them to us. We promise to reciprocate when we get to Congress, if he can await so uncertain a contingency.
