CONFIDENCE CASSIDY MORE CRAZY THAN EVER
HIS MASTERS MUsr SEE TO HIS AcTs.-One of
the country papers, in apologising for the antics
of Cassidy, expressed hope that, as he was
recently married, matrimony might sober him
down and mollify the fcrocity of the butcher
boy. But, from his late articles defending him
self againstthe charge of treachery in reference
to the Wise-Donnelly letter, it seems that this
happy event has made him more crazy than
ever. His honeymoon is in complete yfasco.
He is now beneath contempt. We now leave
him in the congenial cutters of Albany,
out of which his friends or the policemen
may pick him up We have done with
Cassidy; but we have not yet done, nor
half done, with his masters. We have only be-
gun to deal with their share in the treacherous
transaction which has betrayed the confidence
of private letter, and caused it to be publish
ed, in order to pack. the delegation to Charles
ton and cheat the South in the nomination Of
candidate for the Presidency.
When the Argus was purchased and united
with the Atlas, Horatio Seymour, now candi-
date for the Presidency or Vice Presidency or
the Cabinet, or anything he can get, subscribed
to the funds with which the purchase was
made; Dean Richmond subscribed money also;
Daniel S. Dickinson a candidate for the Presi-
dency, also subscribed; Erastus Corning,
candidate for every railroad from New
York to San Francisco, and who has his eye
intently fixed on that huge job by which the
canals are to be sold, subscribed to the funds;
and lastly, Fernando Wood, who is candidate
for the Vice Presidency, for seat in the Cabi-
net, and for the Mayoralty of New York, sub
scribed to the funds of the Atlas-Argus. These
gentlemen are the real owners Of that paper,
and the masters of Crazy Cassidy's movements
and morals 1t is their organ, and we mean
to hold them to account for the treachery of
their instrument till they disavow his acts We
call on them and shall continue to call on them
till the meeting of the Charleston Convention,
to declare whether they approve of the
treachery perpetrated by their tool towards
such a distinguished fellow democrat and
rival candidate as Governor Wise, Of Virginia.
If they do not clear their skirts Of this
foul conspiracy to pack the New York delega-
ton to the National Convention, the whole
concern will be repudiated by that body, and
the great Empire State, that used to hold the
balance of power, whose vote swayed the poll
teal destinies of the country, will be unrepre-
sented, and be Of less account than the little
States of Rhode Island or Minnesota.
This is highly important matter, and we do
not intend to let it rest till it is fully cleared
up. If the New York democracy can be ousted
from their proper position in the national coun-
ellis by dirty mean trick Of confidence man,
then is their condition hopeless and beyond
cure. This is just the question that remains to
be solved. The conspiracy has been proved
beyond the shadow of q doubt, and used by
the organ of Seymour & Co. to further their
own ends, and it rests with the leaders, whose
names we have mentioned, to define their posi-
ton as to the dirty business. On that depends
the status which New York will be permitted to
hold alongside the Southern gentlemen in the
Charleston Convention.
