Fernando Wood isa notorious secession |

On the s1h Of January, 1861, after the
secession Of the slave States had begun,
Fernando Wood sentt to the Common Coun~
Gil Of the city Of New York formal mes
sage recommending tic secession Of that city
from the Gtate. Here is part Of that |
message:

"no nlen on carth can doubt that this was
done directly in the Interest Of JEFF. Davis
& Co.-that it IVES intended to assure the
Southern traitors that they would be
strongly backed at the North. It said to
them in substance: Go ahead with your
