You have tried Fernando Wood lie Gays, in a re-
cent circular issued by the Chairman of tie Mozart
Committee, that at this time il would be dangerou;
to elect as Mayor OF New-York a new, an untried

necessary to tho honest discharge Of the duties OF
Chief Magistrate Of the City OF New-York. You
have heard his official record rehearsed by gentle
man well known 10 you all who has lived long years
among you--Mr. David Dudley Field. Applause.

from bis own speeches, from his own acts as Mayor
