at that Of 1859; we know that it opposed the
Republicans aud supported the Tammany Demo
Gratis in the spirited Charter Contest OF 1852
our last election prior to the Presdentia--as-
sailing the Republicans who stood By their own
candidate, George Opdyke, with all manner OF
base imputatons of knavcry aud peculation. We
certainly understood that MIR. Henry J. Raymond
was, net in Paris but in Eew-York at that time
and engineering the hot and heavy hght maze
against Mr. Opdyke by his Times. In tho strug-
eis for tie epeakership which followed, we sup
possd it was MIR. Raymond-it certainly was Inc

nrei!os was held at Albany, which was ad-
dressed By Is Gov. Seymour, Henry j, Raymond

ground on which its accession TO power at Wash
