Analysed, legally, Woods various swndng
transactions in business, as well as his public
career. 1t would exceed Oar limits to give
again all this speech, filling four columns of
small type, but we make few brief extract.
as follows:
"There ~ 200 to be paid for the raising Of vessel
and was informed by good Democratic friend who was
c,rse In the ease that bad information nd knowledge OF
a mon named Coud,s-sa lri,husn-who would raise tine
vessel for $50 Lu. that Wood would not lot him raj her
without Waiter r. Jones was paid $1,000. What do you
eel that [Cre. Of swrding'"
In regard to certain glass ballot-boxes, Mr..
McKcon said that ga taxpayer Of the city of
New-York had arraigned in the courts of pub
lie Justice of this city Mr.. Fernando Wood and
his brother benjamin. as having been con.
nected with tho purchase of these boxes; and
tina; tie result of tho matter il, they were to
make some forty thousand dollars out Of the
City by the operation"
Mr. McKeOn denied that any honest man
could vote for Wood Honest men did not
vote for him thereafter, if they knew of his
autecedents. ............ .............
Mr.. McKeon described at great length the
swirdiDg transaction against Mr.. Marvinc, and
said " the charge was obtaining money under
fslee pretcnscs, which, in our law, 10 felony.
1t seems incredible" continued Mr. Nc
Keen, "tbat with such q charge fixed upon
him, Wood could offer himself fer the suilrages
of his fellow.citizens, but it is still more IN
credible that such man should have been
elected Chief Magistrate Of this City. But be
never was elected by majority of the citizens
of Now-Yors. Why, Mr.. buchanan had a
minority of $4,000 in this city, wh1o Wood
was in n minority of 5000"
GLOW did he get clear Of tho Indictment"
said Mr.. McKeon:

length in mastery speech. published the next
day in columns
Mr.. McKeon repeated the substance Of this
speech several times, and used to call it his 'an-
nual speech before the Democracy oil Tammany."
At the Cooper Institute IIaycmeyer Meeting,
Dec. 3, 1852 he said of Fernando Wood: " He
i ALL But CONVICTED FFLOE: III WAS IN
pIcrTD ron FALSE PRETENsEs AND ESCAPED
by MoSEY TO QUASI THE INDICTMENT on TIE
GROUND THAT TIE INDICTMENT WAS oHE DAY
TOO LATE IN BEING POUND BY TIE GRAND
JURY" Tanmany having sunk 10 the level Of
ian.birds. now allows Wood to dcclaim and dc
tate therein.
TLose citizens, therefore, who know Fer
nando Wood will not vote for him for Congress
to bully Precedent Lincoln into private
life according u NOods last puOhc th.h
unless their morality is on n par with
hia. Those WHO have not known him, being
new corners from a distance 10 our city, can,
with the information We have spread before
them, perceive thai 10 ID 81 representative
for the lowest scum Of society-gfadunles OF
the Jail, candidates for the gallows-but not
for one single human being under aho.c ribs
beats an Lonesi heart. That DO should be
REASONABLE at this time and join patty which
aims to parayze the hands Of the Go,eynment
is in full keeping with his whole shameless, phi
Satc and public career.
