WASHINGTON, July "a, 1860
Great amusement is experienced here by those
who are observing, with due knowledge of the par
ties, and from the inside, the efforts now being
made by The Herald to drive its two prize political
pigs to good market. Having already forced His
Excelienoy Wood and your rhetorical Congressman
John Cochrane to support DOuglas-when their
Rympsthies were really with Breckinridge-we
now find it demanding, as further manifestation
of its power that these two distinguished individ
uals shall wheel round without delay to the support
of Breckenridge and Lane, even after their inter-
ests and public declarations baye become very
swkwardly entangled with the Douglastes.
The rhetorical Congressman endeavors to COM
promise by offering his ex-partner, little James
Craig of Brooklyn, one of the Public Store con-
tractors, as substitute-conscript in the Breckin
ridge army; but John himself cannot be so easily
spared. No action of the Brooklyn Democrats
General Committee can satisfy the memorable
Herald or satisfy its friends in this city; and still
that paper doggedly demands, and will continue to
demand, Johns own individual submission to the
present policy of the editor.
Asfor His Excellency of New York City, the case
with him is still desperate but the resources
which he has displayed in trying to please both
sides, while still keeping himself on the fence and
ready for jump either to right or LETT are worthy
of better cause. His last movements in this
line are entitled, from their DeatLesSs and delicacy
Of calculation, to detailed account:
Not wishing to be rebuked personally second
time by the Ancient Public Functonary, as he
L. nc sucf off hp IT,
more nominations, in which he offered to support
Breckenridge and Lane if given one third of the
Federal patronage of New-YOrk, MIR. Wood, on
this occasion, approached the President aud Mr.
Breckenridge by means Of letter addressed to
gentleman residing for the present in this CITY,
This letter or rather these etters-for there were
two-were exceedingly diplomatic, and their pur-
port ran as follows:
His E1cellenty of New. York deplores the short
sightedness of those who cannot look Tor pollcai
IS motives and future action an inch below tho sur
g. face" and then dwes at length upon bis repeated
oublic declarations that " all his sympsthles and
ssprincipies" identity him with the Secession cand
dates though policy at present dictates support OF
Douelas and johnson. The fnesSe Of diplomacy
suggested in this paragraph is beyond all praise.
Mr. Wood then announces that he has already
accomplished, " even by his qualified Endorsement
Uof Mr.. Douglas, an absolute recapture OF Tam
many Ban-all the big and little Indians OF that
tribe, the square-tOed and whisky-lndians
together, uniting in petition to him that ne
would again re6Dter and take commaud OF the
Wigwam. ct certainly" adds Mr.. Wood,
81 could not displease the friends of Mr. Breckin-
"ridge to have man of my views IN that posi-
(" ton ;"
His Excelency then goes on TO show that by his
"djplomatic position with references to Douglas,
he has procured bargain with ths Albany he
gency whereby the regular Democratic organza-
ton (Douglss) agrees to make him ar. "ood)
one Of the Electors at Large, with the naming OF
ga moiety of the Electoral ticket "Can 1t dis
"pease the supporters Of Breckenridge and Lane,
asks your worthy Mayor, to have one who occu-
"Pies my very impartial and moderate position IN
90 this contest placed in such attitude OF control
Naming one-half the ticket myself, and with my
"personal influence on the other half, results
"gresty to the advantage of Breckenridge and
"Lane might with reason be expected
Lastly, His ExceleDcy Of your City gave notice
that the leading men from all parts of New York
State we're crowdiog into his Office daily, demand
ing that in order 10 give the Democratic Party an
assured majority he should accept the nomination
for Governor. "Let this desire grow MIR.
Wood supeests-let thi, hunger for him increase,
end he will soon be given an sutocratic sway
over the entire State, in matters Presidential no
less than local. Sand surely this can hardly be dis
I" pleasing to the fsr-seeirg friends OF the Vice
50 President"
Thsse letters have been submitted TO the fiesi
dent and President by the disinterested irieno
to whom they are addressed; but, strange 70 say
