If ever political party was jockeyed, thin
blo.rigged, insulted, spit upon, the Republicans
of this City have been BY the Tammany Hall
oligarcby. They have always been ready
to take our votes for their candidates; they
never supported any Republican in return.
Fernando Wood put Fred. Tallmadge (old Whig)
on his ticket last Fall and Oakley Hall this
Fall, and gave each a majority Of the Mozart
votes. He adopted the Union State ticket, so
far as it was unit, this Fall, and his party
gave the Republicans on it at least three fOurths
of their votes He cheated the Republican
Judges, as he always cheats whenever he is
tempted to do so; but be is neither coward
nor bigot. The Tammany magnates IN all
their dealings with Republicans, have proved I'M
grateful, treacherous, sneakiDg and base. They
fairly forced TiemoDn to wrong US, and then they
insulted us for NOT submitting tamely to the
robbery. GEORGE OPDYKE went up last
August TO a meeting Of the Republican State
Committee at Albany, and easily procured the
passage of resolve profferiDg union OF all
parties on State ticket made up equally OF
Republicans and Democrats, but all pledged 70
stand BY the Government and press on the
War for the Union. TammaDy Hall aud her
rural allies rejected this and insisted on run
ming straight party ticket. They were not
content with rejecting our tender of half
the State Offices when they had not strength to
elect one they nsulted MS for making the offer.
They made clean party ticket and ran it to
the last, in the face of certain overwhelming
defeat, and after some of their nominees had
refused to run. Wood supported most of the
Union candidates, but Tammany was factious
and unpatriotic 10 the last.
And now there are Republicans who desert
their own candidates and do their utmost TO
bolster up the crumbliDg pillars of Tammany
Hall They seem to love to be cheated, ill.,
suited, kicked degraded. Moses, according to
our cold Catechism, was the meekest man; but
that was before the advent Of Joe HoTie, We
must have the Catechism amended to conform

Probably very few of the men who labor fOr
the city, on the public streets, are aware Of
the reason why their pay was cut down from
81 % to 90 cents a day. For their informa-
ton we will state that Fernando Wood ap.
proved the Hackley street-clcauing contract,
with the understanding that his Brother Ben
should have one quarter of it free of all e.-
pense. In order to pay this heavy bonus,
Hackey had TO cut his mems wages down.
Remember that OF that contract S69,750 q
year goes into the pockets Of tie Woods, aud
that the means of paying ils comes out of the
wages of the poor laboring men. 1t is TO hold
this rich mine OF rascality for another two
wears that Fernando Wood is striving 10 retain
bis place in the Mayoralty. WIZ the laboring
men of New-York consent to reflect him, and
for two years more, pay him - cents a
day out of their scanty earnings

quence Of his alleged participation in the trea-
sonabe movements Of Miramon aud the
Church" party in Mexico. All Of the three
Powers, however, have bound themselves not to
seek territorial compensation for these various
injuries, but profess to intend merely to occupy
the ports Of Mexico and collect the duties there
until they have accumulated sufficient to pay
their respective claims. But it is easy to fore
SEQ that the difficulties and complications to
which this project is liable may extend the
amount of Intervention far beyond what is at
present contemplated. With the affair as it at
present stands the United States have no par
ticular concern. All that we have to do ia to
watch the progress of events and see that the
Intervention does not transcend the limits of
safety to our national interests. When it does
il will be time enough to interfere.

paper is dispatch dated Savannah, 2Sth,

Tybee Island, forcing them to run to another
part of tie island This is a lie.

There ca1not be shadow of doubt that the
election of George Opdyke as Mayor Of New
York will Immediately add ten per cent to the
market value of all real estate within the bust
ness limits of the city, while the election OF
Fernando Wood will corrospoDdingly dePress
it. A capitalist at our elbow has just declared
10 US that he would give ten per cent more
for house aud lot with Opdyke as Mayor,
than with Wood. Let every owner OF real
estate ponder this simple fact. Wood, high
taxes swindling contracts, and higher taxes
still next year. will only be continuation OF
the past. Opdyke, economy, aud honesty OF
administration, will have generally cheering
and inyigorating influence in commercial cir
Giles. Let every man who owns foot OF land
or store or house TO let, think of tnese iscts,
throw away all party feeling. and vote for
George Opdyke.

THE GREAT UNTRIED.

Fernando Wood, in his circular signed
"Clinton Rowe, Chairman" says This city
(" is in danger aud it will be imPrudent to
" change our present Mayor for an aatried man. +"
If this city be really in danger, that danger is in
exact proportion to the prospects of the re-
election Of the Duke Of Bioomingdsle as its
Chief Magistrate. Mr.. Wood probably misap.
prehends the real meaning ard force OF the
language he employs when be says that IT VIII
not do to have ." an untried man for Mayor,
for we take it that he does not desire to rule
himself out az candidate. But as his Honor
does not stand upon tribes he may perhaps con-
slider the conditions sufficiently filled by the
notorious fact that he ought to have been tried
and but for the statute Of limitations wodid
have been tried, convicted, and sentenced

REwARE OF FRAUD!

Friends see to it that trustworthy men are
stationed at the polls, to watch the canvass
from its opening to its clofe. 1t bias been
openly boosted by the friends OF Wood that he
had secured canyassers and clerks enough to
count him in, no matter what the vote may
be against him. While we doubt his power to
carry cut SO corrupt a scheme, it is well 70
remember that "forewarned is lerearmed," and
prevent the possibility of such an Outrage.

A WEAK INVENTION.

We understand that some of MIR. Guuther's
friends have had the impudence to stick Up
posters announcing that George Opd,ke had
declined in his favor. The is of piece with
the entire course of the Gunther party, who
have not scrupled to forge tAe name, of Dauy
prominent Republicans, and avowed friends Of
George Opdyke, as indorsers of the Tammany
candidate. Such di,bonesty is suro to reap lis
own reward. Once for all, we assure the bon
est voters of New York that Mr.. Opdyke has
not and will not Withdraw; but, on the con-
trary, if they DO their duty, will DO our next
Mayor, beyond peradveDture.

There was a rumor late last nlgnt that the
Tsmmany leaders had perfected arrangements
to sell out the TammaDy vote to Wood ia GER

understood to be the election Of the Tammany

pathize with Tweed and the other victims OF
the soulless politicians who now WELD the des

1t is not possible that the German voters Of
New-YOrk, who are ever tTuo to Freedom, can
give their votes to a doublc-dsed traitor Like
Fernando Wood. If there be any one of them
who thinks of doing 80, let bin remember thas
it was he who took tho poor exiles, whose
only crime was loving Liberty too well
from Bremen ship, some years ago, and,
after incarcerating them in the Tombs, sent
them back to the country from which they bad
fed, in the hope Of finding q refuge in Free
