BUTTERNUT DEMOCRACY. - Fernando
Wood q Co., when the war broke out, it
will be remembered, attempted to carry
the city of New York out of the Union.
The same Fernando Wood is now making
sort of Herod and Pilot reconciliation
between Tammany Hall ard Mozart Hall
to secure the election of Horatio Seymour
as Governor of New York. Seymour is of
the same faith as his next friend, Wood,
a sympathiser in the rebellion, and the
afinties of the two are with the Yallandig-
ham school of this State. Loyalty to the
Union, and vigorous support Of the Gov
erhment, arc not held by this class of men
TO be a matter OF paramount duty; indeed

Of course from his recent urgency for
vigorous prosecution of the war he could
not have taken issue with the Government
on the main question without compromising
himself, and yet he is reported TO have said
