DRAWING IT VERY MMD.-The Washington
Union, in publishing the strong points of MI.
Soul6's late card concerning Mr. Perry, says
We regret 10 see from Mr. Soule's letter. that he s
laborng under the impression that Mr. Perrys treach
cry" secured him encouragement and support in the
State Department at Washington. We have every
to believe that in entertaining such NJ
Soule does injustice to the State Department and
cannot but hope that he will discover and correct his
sion.
"Does injustice to the State Department
eh /? Hope he will discover and correct his
errors!" Marcy is evidently little frightened
He has play ed his game Of double-dealing and
duplicity go long with impunity, that perhaps
he thought with the return OF Soule another
victim was utterly extinguished. Let not the
ex-minister be betray ed into any mistaken gene
rosity by the spssIaI pIeadings OF the admins
truuon. They will, doubtless, be after him with
all sorts Of protestations Of sorrow and limo
cence; but let him stick to his text, aud show
up Mr.. Pierce and bis premier in their true CO.
lors, and fill up the blanks and chinks Of this
Spanish imbroglio, SO that we may have per-
feet history Of it from FIRST to last. This is ex-
actly what the people want.

his guidance. 1t is scarcely necessary to add
that the quarter from whence the most violent
attacks upon the purity of his motives have
proceeded is precisely that which has endea-
vored to obtain the largest share of influence in
these appointments.
This controversy, SO far from damaging
Mayor Wood in public estimation, Will have
the effect of placing the integrity of his adj
ministration in stiil clearer light. We can
only Judge fairly of the merits OF an upright
public officer by learning all the temptations
and obstacles that have been thrown in his
path. From the statements just made it will
be seen that even St. Anthony himself was not
as have beset Mr.. Wood since his accession to
Office Let us hope that during his remaining
tenure of it he will continue to repel corsup-
ton and despise intimidation with ths Ass3e
fearless and Independent spirit that lie 6ds
hitherto DONE The calumnies by which he is
assailed are the proudest monument that can
be raised to the success of his administration.
PHILADELPHIA NATIONAL CouNcIL.-This Ma
tional Council Of the Knew Nothings at Phila-
delphia, according to the information which we
publish to- day, is most extraordinary concern.
There never has been, we dare say, more re-
markably diversified gathering Of conglomerate
politicians in these United States From that
fanatical and fiery abolitionist, Gen. Wilson,
to the most intense Southern ultra, all grades
of opinion Oh @ the niger question" have
their delegates at Philadelphia Our spe.
cial correspondent seems to have his
misgivings Of the results of this omnissns
gatherum. They are not troubled with
the sweet German accent or " the rich
Irish brogue - but they will find it very
ticklish business, as between the North aud
South, to carry water on both shoulders. Their
regular proceedings yesterday were suspended
for the purpose Of enjoying grand banquet,
at which we presume good deal of business
was done, in sounding ishy members, in CON-
pairing notes, and in counting noses. Prior to
this banquet the Louisiana Catholics were
ruled out of the society from which we infer
that the prescription of Catholics, as such, is to
continue plank of the American party plat
form. On the other hand, the seditious Wilson,
of Massachusetts, and his associates, having
been admitted ameug the brethren as in good
standing, there is prospect that the whole
concern will be repudiated by the South, unless
The test of On honest and out-spoke0 platform
be applied to Wilson & Co. We await further
returns. The fate of this American party
