FERNANDO AS Il PEACE-MAKER.
HE is NOT AFRAID OF FORT LAFAYETTE

TIE NORTHERN SECESSION PLATFORM.
It would hardly be possible to imagine greater
contrast than wss presented by the ratification meet
ing of Fernando Woods party last evening at the
Cooper Institute to the TaxPayers meeting held IN
the same place on Wednesday evening, for the pur'
pose of ratifying the nomination Of Mr.. oPdyhe by
that BODY. Last night instead OF the thoughtful
gravity and the calm fixed purpose which we saw
within those walls Oh Tuesday evening, the air was
sckening with the reek of the unwashed whom the
blaze of tar-barres aud to them treat Of con-
cert from Dodworths band, had gathered together.
At II O'Clock, BESJAMIS RAY called the meeting
to order and nominated the Hon. james Wadsworth
for President. The nomination was acceded to.
Mr. WADswoRTH, on taking the chair, pronounced
, a eulogium on Fernando Wood, whom he called the
only man who could secure the peace of the city In
these times Of trial, be having the nerve and iron
will which was equal TO the Part. lie inveighed
against the Metropolitan Police, the Maine law,
and the Registry law. lie concluded by hoping that
they wouid be true TO the Constitution, true 10 b
eriy, true TO law, and true TO Fernando Wood ZAP
piause, loud and long.
