ALBANY, August 10, 1855.
Considerable bubbling has been created IN tho Cassdy.
Cgger Co. teapot by indignant letter. as yet unpub
lshed from Hon. W. F. Russell, OF Ulster, TO tho Nov
York Daily Nss repudiating the statements industrious
~ promulgated through IL columns by Fernando Wood,
that the Hon. Daniel g. Dickinson and tho Astor House
committee are agreed In making the "disrct System or
e'ectng delegates to the National Convention 81 Charles

Convention at Syracuse 1t seemIthas tho "dlstriot"
plan OF choosing delegates even preached d thu
meeting On tho Sd instant Of tho Aston House COMMITTEES
at Congress Hail. No official reference made 70 ~
the members among themselves, and the inh-
nations to tho contrary Of Wood and his organ
have Ill been fictitious. Mr.. Russea seat

admitted "nadvertence" In the In which hs haA
put forward his assertions but deprecated their being or.

In his paper, must 60 but no scampered on to Sara

In other journals.
Mr. Wood policy at Albany and the divide Ct impu co.,
spracy concocted BY the OK Mayor and adopted In the
Wise Donney letter looked upon with marked dfavor
by every one far yet known Of the gentlemen who
originally cooperaed with him in the formation OF the
AEtor House Committee. Aessrs Croswe, MAther Rus
sell, SeheI Tucker and their associates undoubtedly
agree In abstract preference for the method Of An I'm
mediate choice Of delegates by the people, but a. It Is
clear that this view s not conceded In by the majority o.
democrats in the State, they wish to bc authoratvey
and unabguously understood that they do net dream
Of splitting the party contemplate issue. 10 do
would be suicdAy to snap with open eyes, al the un
baited hook which Messrs Wood and Wise have adver
tised that they are to be caught with.
The majority OF the hards take their from tho
Adena letters rapidly succeeding each other which have
lately been written by Mr. Dickinson to his friends oil
over the State Mr.. Dcknson-I epesK from knowledge
expresses, cautiously but firmly, his antagonism 70
the line Of action which Wood has adopted and
he counsels his friends to meet the advances OF the so
cordially and to permit minor consideration 10 destroy
the amicsbe relations which appear everywhere to
taxes the grOupu, wild great empuhSls,
South the right to claim the Presidential cauddAte
but that they fail to present candidate with sufficient
unsniity to insure success the only chance Of New
York's having fair hearing by being unit and cast
Ing her undivided voice for the Of its chose. Mr.
Dickinson s therefore, in direct practical hostility with
Messrs Wise and Wood and the As,or House Committee
necessarily follow in his footsteps
Tho insanity OF Mr. Woods past and present
clearly and graphically indicated to him day two be-
fore he went up to tho meeting at Albany on tho Sd
August He called it appears, upon the long headed and
sagecous Mephstophles. and unfoded to him, with
characteristic self satisfaction the projects upon which he
founded hope OF acquiring rule throughout the city and
State. The Mayor poured forth into Mephstophles
aboriouay patient the beauty Of bis district system
dwelt with JUNCTION upon the advantageous dscord Of
divided delegation cupningy nsnuated where buncombo
could be productivity nterlarded ampifed upon tho
exqusteness Of texture of the petty political machinery,
oiled with qGanum sGcit OF humbug, With which he
was sanguine Of propeIng the democracy into safe
Wood current; and epiogued with just such display Of
rhetorical fireworks, concerning Charleston might be
expected from politically inventive genius.
Mephistophies listened ; Meph;stophiles pondered ;;
Aerhistophles laughed and, when Fernando had ended
h recital, Aephslophiles said -. It would not be
discreet, however, to give Mephistophies exact Ian
guegeh mode of expression and to the point
