WASHINGTON HUNT AND Hls VARIOUS OftNtoss--

into ten thousand fragments. Mr. lllni u Of this
calibre. In his reply to Mr.. Granger be says ne 10
opposed TO the Fugitive Slave bill; bot QUE OF hts
friends and defenders in this city says directly the
reverse-that 50 far from being opposed 70 tha'
measure, he is in fsver Of carrying q out ia gcoi
faith The one is the blue and the other the red

The white portion OF Mr.. Hunts politics can be
found in the Tribune, the organ Of enti.rentism,
abolihonism, and every other destructive and dan-
gerous ism of the day. The truth is, that Mr.
Hunts letter to Mr. Granger was calculated for
the "rural Districts" and the publication Of Mo.
Fosters card for the region OF this city, where we
are happy in being able to say there ab.dcs last
ing and deep love and reverence for the Union
and the Constitution There is no doubt that Mr..
Foster states accurately the teaor OF his converse

the consistency of the wing candidate for Cover.
nor, we find him expressing views on the same
subject diametreaily opposed to wha, Mr.. Foster
| gives him credit for. In private life Mr.. Hunt is
| good man He has fallen into bad hands poll
tican; and under the tuition of Thurlow Weed and
Horace Greedy, reckless politicians aud unscrupu-
| lous demagogues, he has come out like them-a
transce in politicsone who viii not only
blow no, and cold in the same breath, but who will
have an opinion on important matters suited to
every district and section of the State. The publ,
are in fair way of discovering that, Ike his teach
er, he has no principles at all.
The NATIONALITY. have already given our
sentiments in regard TO the two candidates for the
mayoralty-Mr Kingsland on the whig side, and
MIR. Fernando Wood on the democratic. As a
man of energy, courage and capabilily, we pre-
erred Mr.. Wood, and recommended him to the
public. In the Dispatch of yesterday, u Sunday
| Paper partly conducted by the Hon. Mike Walsh,
| himself democratic candidate for the Assembly,
we found a most ,~'''tiv aiach on ths pt"a1e
character Of Mr.. Wood, which, il true, would
render him utterly unfit, in any point OF view,
to receive the support OF any party. The Dipztca
published what purported TO be legal document,
tai en- from the records of the Superior Court which
contains a great many charges against the bus-
! ress character of MIR. Wood, OF a most extra
ordinary nature If those charges were true, of
course Mr.. Wood could not expect, nor would he
be entitled to, the supporter any party 1t was an
act of injustice, however, TO publish one side of
the story without the other The friends of Mr.
Wood have handed US his reply, which is also on
the files Of the Superior Court, and which satsfac
iorily answers all the allegations made against
him; but it is too long for columns The fol-
lowing statement from his counsel, however, who
are highly respectable men, win be sufficient to
counterfeit the injustice perpe;rated by the Dis
patch towards Mr. Wood
