Der Of the New York bar; and on all the
wealthy aud prominent citizens whose names
IRE given rs The promoters OF a revolution
which is to battle our whole country in blood
aud destroy its dearest rights, tn tell the world
Y this thing has been done with your know
ledge sud consent, and If you have calmly
wesL the consequences of such a confiict a.
you are proclaimed as sanctioning.
That the wild fanatics whose names are
linked with yours 10 this infamous work, the
raving abolition SITS the insane philosophers OF
Fonrieiiie phalaD-ieries. the peaniless adyeu
turers who have nothing to lose and all to gain
in social upheaying, and the ambitious dema-
gogues who would rule or ruin, should utter
such sentiments aud inculcate such a strife, is
not surprising. But that you, men of sub
stance, honored citizens, and many Of you
rulers in the land, who have solemnly sworn
10 uphold the constitution OF the State and Of
the United States, should DO thus traitors to
your du,y rs citizens, false to your oashs as
rulers, and regardless Of the rights Of your
brethren as men, must shock those who have
hitherto con6ded ia you, alarm those who have
obeyed you, aud strengthen those who have
opposed you. Hinton Rowan Helper pro.
claims you as revolu.ionists and traitors, and
your fellow citizens wait to hear your own
plea of guilty or not guilty.
The MUNICIPAL. ELECTION ASSUMING NATIONAL.
PRoPoRYloNs.-We had supposed that the cleo
ton of Mayor and Corporation Counsel was to
be q purely municipal affair, aud that. tied up
as the hands Of the Mayor of New York are, it
made little difference who might be elected,
whilst the control of the public purse was under
the fingers Of the Common Council. The cleo.
ZION, however, il seems, is about to partake of
the spirit of the times and the events of Har-
per's Ferry; abolitionism on one side and na-
tionali'y on the other are to enter into the con-
test and become the real issue in the struggle
Yesterday the organ Of one Of the candidates
charged another of the candid ates-F Fernando
Wood-with making a treacherous compact
with the friends of W. II. Seward, to the effect
that on the condition Of the republicans voting
for Wood in the coming municipal election,
Woods party will vote for Stewards party at
the next State and Presidential elections; aud
as New York city is the stronghold Of the do
noeracy in the State, the State would thus be
delivered over to the complete control of the
republicans for the great national contest of
1860 AS it is now, the republicans consider it
insecure; but by the accession OF Woods party
in the city Of New York, the State, they think,
would be rendered safe for Sewardism, the
higher law and revolution.
This looks very like the pickpocket shouting
stop thief y and pointing in another direction,
in order t. direct attention from himself. Now,
it is well known that Mr. Havemeyer is the
Of Confidence Cassidy, Cagger and
Co., and that these men and Thurlow Weed
thoroughly understand each other, the differ
ence between them on principles of national
policy scarcely amounting to the splitting of
hair. They have been here making arrange
ments about the municipal election, and Tam
many Hall is known to be under their control
They are the leaders Of the barliburner faction,
which betrayed the democracy in 1885, they are
free soil democrats, the republicans being only
free soil wings. The affinity is therefore com
plete. Haveneyer belonged to the barnburn-
ers in 1aaS; be voted for the republicans FRESH
Dental candidate in 1856, and subscribed
money for his election. He voted for Morgan,
the black republican candidate for Governor,
last November He voted for Manierre, the
IL E. IL.
district; and it is added that he calculated
upon the endorsement Of the republicans,
on the ground of being good enough re-
publican for them" otherwise he would not
have accepted the Tammany nomination. His
address fully confirms this idea, and it is plain
cratic candidate. Mr.. Tiiden, the Tammany
candidate for Corporation Counsel, has always
belonged TO the same free soil faction. Now,
Fernando Wood, though charged with o great
many things, has never been charged with
even tendency towards free soilism; his ante
cedents have been all the other way; and the
same is trne Of Mr.. Greene c. Bronson, the can
didate for Corporation Counsel who ia nomi-
mated on the same ticket with WOOD, and who
has always been distinguished for his national
principles
Where the two parties accuse each other of
betraying the State into the hands of Seward.
the only way Of determining the truth is by a
reference to the antecedents Of both. The time
was when Tammany Hall, whatever might be
its other vices, was noted for its nationality.
In recent times it has fallen into the hands of
the barnburners, and is in fact abolitionized In
putting forward men like Havemeycr and TIL
den to represent it, the faction has taken
the first step towards open abolition and
Sewardism. 1t has been initiated into the abo-
liton church and received the waters of its
baptism. 1t only wants the rite ofconGrmation
in the struggle of 1860 to make it as oul-and-
out abolition as Phillips, and Cheever and John
Brown. Woods organ Claims for him the
