New York City is not ahead, either in Volun-
teering nor the Dralt--but let that pass, while
we see why it is that this metropolis is ac-
counted " traitorous and disoyal."
In 1861, our then Mayor apoogzed to
Georgia magnate for the stoppagc OF a shipment
of arms to that State-then in open revolt
against the Union. He explained that this was
done by the Police, over which he had no con-
troll: if he had, it would quickly be undone.
That Mayor has since been chosen from our
City to the next House of Representative, re-
ceving the hearty support of both the Tammany
and Mozart DemocracieS.
In 1861, Mr.. James Lynch-who left The

Colonel, and even the Captain Of his battery,
entreated the company 10 remain and take part
in the impending fight; but Lynch took the
other side and persuaded the men to move to
the rear to the sound of the encmys cannon.
So he became Sheriff. In 1862 Mr.. Ben. Wood
who has always been frank enough 10 pro-
claim and act consistently with his sentiment of
intense hostility to the War for the Union
was reelected TO Congress, receiving the votes
Of both the Tammany and Mozart factions.
Mr.. Wood voted steadily with Burnett, Reid,
