THE CIrY VorE.-By the census of 1855
there were found to be about $4,000 legal
voters in this metropolis, and since that time
they have probably increased to 100000 In the
last Presidential election vote of about $4,000
was taken; but the State election last month
exhibited falling off of little over 10000,
the returns showing vote of but $4,000. A
good deal of conjecture is formed as to what
the vote may be in the approaching charter
election. We don't think it will fall below
10000; but if the opposition should stir up an
excitement next week, it may reach 10000, or
at least 1000 OF this vote, according to all
appearances, Fernando Wood will probably
poll 10000, if not more. Among the great
mass of the democracy there is less antagonism
to him now than there ever was, and we believe
he is stronger among the mercantile class.
Some of the leaders of the democracy indicate
opposition, but We don't think it will amount
to much.

By this statement it would appear that those
journals which are in favor Of Fernando
Wood have nearly double the city circula-
ton of the journals opposed to him. There
is great difference, however, in the tone
of the two classes of papers. The four or five
that are favorable to Mr.. Wood conduct the con-
test with great propriety, decency and decorum,
with the exception of one, which is little noisy
and dirty in the chops; we mean the Ne0s,
and perhaps the Day Book, which is SO fond Of
the niger that it is always publishing long
philosophical articles on his origin, his race, his
blood, the form of his brain, the shape of his
foot, and the vigor of his limbs The other five
OF six journals which are opposed to Wood, with
the exception of one or two old fogies, are ex-
ceedingly violent, incoherent, vindictve, vul-
gar, ungentlemanly, savage malicious, per-
sonal vituperative-callng every one that
differs wiihsthem liar and scOundrel.
If the variation in the circulation of these two
classes of journals indicates that this metropolis
will sustain Wood for the Mayoralty we are
more disposed to think that the tone of both
tends still stronger to the same result. None
but short boys, rufians, pugilists, live rabbits,
rowdies and Bowery boys can read the violent
language and vindictive rufianism Of the TI-
bune, Tines Express and Courier without being
disguised to the innermost recesses of the soul.
Such journalism is probably the principal ele-
ment in sustaining Fernando Wood among the
decent and respectable portions Of the city.
