Consequently, we are | told, it becomes the first duty of the people of the city and the State to get rid of this political mozster, and to this end the population of the whole commonwealth are called upon to come to the rescue, Was there ever a more paltry and pitiful speci- men of party trickery attempted upon the credu- lity of any people than this. Fernando Wood is Mayor of the city of New York—he may be again a candidate for this office, and he may not be. If he should not be, what would our black republican dodgers do next? Certainly, all | their powder and shot expended upon Mayor Wood would be ammunition thrown away. But even if nominated again as the democratic can- didate for Mayor, how ia he in that position to be made the issue for our State election? Should the vote of the State be unanimously cast against him ic November, it will not touch his case; which is to be decided upon by the people of this city slone in our local December election. Mayor Wood, therefore, as an issue for our State canvass, it about as applicable to the real exigen- cie@ of the occasion, as the doings of Governor Walker and the “ border ruffians” in Kansas. Asa candidate for Mayor of this city, it wa the scandalous abuse heaped upon Fernando Woed by his political enemies that elected him. The public sympathy always inclines in favor of | that man who is lucky enough to become the target of a malicious and uascrupulons partizan “ecoundrel,”’ “villain, “forger,”’ “thief,” “vagabond,” “ruffian,” In this way the foolish and recklees of the political enemies of Fremont, Know- Nothing end democratic, came withia an inch of meking him President of the United States last November, establishing in his behalf, ina few short months, a personal popularity without a parallc! in the nineteenth century. In the same way this unstinted personal abuse of Mayor Wood is making o great man of him among the people, upon the popular idea that the apple tree, of all the orchard, which has the most sticks ond stones among its branches, ie that upon which the beet fruit is most likely to be found. Sadly put to it as are our Seward oligarchy for “a good enough Morgan till after the clec- tion,” Mayor Wood will not answer their pur- pose. revolution to put him down power which it is necessary to}take away in order to restore to the people those rights aod immunities of which they have been robbed. As Mayor of the city he has been redaced to the potition of a mere servant of an Albany board of overseers; and for this degradation of our local chief magistrate, it is not Mayor Wood, but the Seward spoils and plunder jobbers at Albany that are responsible. Mayor Wood is only a prominent municipal victim of the usur- pations of our last Seward Legislature; and if from eome unlucky accident he were to perish to-day, our position as the people of a great city, under the control of an Albany board of overseers, would not be improved in the slightest degree. ‘The Kansas letter of Mr. Buchanan has effectu- ally silenced the shricking and howling of our Seward demagogues over “bleeding Kansne ;” and now, in turning from “ bleeding Kansas” to Mayor Wood, as an electioneering issue for our November canvass, they betray the essential weakness of their real position and the fate which awaits them in the election. The real iseue upon which the people of this city and State will be called upon to vote in November is : either “ bleeding Kansas” nor Mayor Wood, bat t is the spoils and lobby-jobbing Legislature of our Seward law makers at Albany ; and the question © be decided in November is not who shall be our Mayor elected in December; but it is simply his—ehall the despotic, corrupt and demoraliz. ing measures of our last Legislature be repealed, or endorsed and extended by the next? Upon thie practical question, comprehending the municipal rights of our towns and cities, our corporation and State taxes, the disbursement of the public money, the reformation of existing abuses, State and corporative, we anticipate a popular revolution in November which will teach our Seward spoils ard plunder demagogues 4 wholerome and enduring lesson. Meantime, let our Seward crgans continue theit Billingegate against Mayor Wood, and revive their lamenta- tions over “bleeding Kane. they can. With the practical opening of the State campaign they will very soon discover which way the wind ie blowing He has done nothing requiring a popular | he haz no despotic | Magazine Literature-The Rise and Fall of Montalies. ‘The reader ot the Heratp will have noticed on several occasions within the past few days an allusioa, in the law reports, te a case in which te magazine known as Putnam's Monthly is involved. The onse is somewhat obscure to the non-professional reader; we may elucidate it by explaining that the failure of Mr. George P. Putnam, which occarred some two years since, necessitated the sale of his magazine to a new firm, styled Dix & Edwards; that this firm was, in process of time, strengthened by an accession of two literary men, Mr. Olmstead, the author of “Travels in the Soatkern States,” and Mr. George W. Curtis, the author of various soctal sketches and anti-slavery speeches, and both, strange to say, possessed of some pecuniary means; that the firm, notwithstanding this acquisition of strength, failed, some months back; that Dix & Edwards, who wore not capitalists, went out quietly, leav- ing Olmstead and Curtis to settle with the cre- ditors; that of these the heaviest, Miller, a prin- ter, entered therenpon into partnership with Cur- tis and Olmstead, and carried on the business; that, notwithstanding this further accession of strength, the new firm was hardly pressed for money, and was giad to receive $10,000 from Mr. Francis G. Shaw, who intended to become a special partner to that extent; that, notwith. standing thie, the business was stilla losing one, and the firm found it necessary, a few days since, to suspend payment; and finally, | that Rice and Kendall of Boston, paper makers, and creditors of the firm to the tune of some | sixteen or seventeen thousand dollars, pretend | that Mr. Francis G. Shaw, who is a man of for- tune, has inadvertently omitted to comply with the provisions of the law respecting special part- nersbips, and has rendered himself liable as a general partner for all the debts of the firm. The pending contest on their application for an injunction we understand to be based on this pre- tension of theirs, which is denied by Mr. Shaw and his late associates. { Of course it is not our businees or our wish to | have anything to say about the private controversy i which we have thus explained. We only draw | attention to it in order to “improve” the history of Putnam's Monthly for the benefit of pub- lishers, men of letters, and the public generally. nam, it was intended to be a vehicle for the best kind of native literature, irrespective of politics. Restricting its matter to home made articles was, of course, an absurd and very juvenile idea: as though one should protest that he would uze no foreign cutlery or dry goods ia‘ his hoase. But the general principle of the magazine was that it should instruct and amuse without being con- troversial in politics. We believe that under these auspices, it throve pretty well; if it made no money, it cannot have lost much. But when Mr. Patnam’s embarrassments compelled him to part with the magaziae, it fell into new and very different hands. The pub- lishers were young and inexperienced; they al- lowed the monthly to be controlled by that peca- liar set of advanced philosophers who are con- spicuous in the columns of the New York 7yi- bune and Evening Post. These philosophers, as young aa the publishers, undertook to reform so- ciety at large, and the Southern States in par- ticular. They succeeded oaly in ruining the magazine. Their arrogant self-esteem, their childish vagaries, their dogmatical assumption of superiority to each and every one who wa not of their clique, and their indiscreet assaults upon tlie feelings of those on whos? patronage they de- | pended, very speedily achieved the downfall of the concern. It fell; and, in its fall, as we have seen, it has ruined no lees than four different cms. . Paes Monthly. per se, bas now ceased to exist, but itis to be united with Lmerson's United States Magazine, aud it may very well be that this cross | of the ideal with the practical will produce some- thing partaking of both, which will meet one of the requirements of the popular mind. At the same time the spirit of the deceased /’utnam's is to be raised from the dead in Boston. A firm belonging to the most advanced school of ethics and politics, aanounce a magazine to be calied the Northern Magazine, in which Wendell Phillips, Mrs. Stowe and other writers of the same stripe, are going to give the South no mercy at all. At last, we are told, “the North’ will have a tongue; the Southerners had best hide their heads at ouce, and prepare for flagellation, The | Northern Magazine is not to be an amusing peri- | odical; it is, on the contrary, to resembie the Biitish Quarterly Reviews; and its claim to pat- | ronage will rest upon the elevation of its priaci- | ples and the force with which they will be main- tained. Whether it is to advocate equally ad- vanced theories in religion as in politics, we are not informed; though as Mr. Emerson ia to be a prominent contributor, something of the kind may be reasonably expected. Bat ferocious on- | slaughte upon the South are to be the leading | feature. Now there can be no doubt where this enter- priee will lead. Rain is plainly marked out as the destiny of the Northern Magazine; it follows in the wake of Putnam's, and being likely to be lesa generally acceptable as being less entertaining, it will ruth to the same goal, with even greater speed. It is wonderful, thdeed, that men should be found willing to risk money in such a foolish scheme. But these anti-slavery philosophers are incurable; they will go on trying to improve the world, and losing their pains and their money, to the end of time, This does not atall argue that there is not ample room here for a magazine or a review, conducted in a proper epirit; in fact, we believe such @ periodical has become a literary necessity with us, and that any one who establishes it will meet with a very different result from that which has attended Putnam's, the North American Quar- terly, the Southern Quarterly, and all such sectional undertakings. We have « population of thirty millions, which contains a far larger proportion of thinking men who are readers of reviews than is to be found in the same number of peo- ple eleewhere. A proof of this exists in the fact that the reprints in this city of the British re- views have ® larger circulation than is attained by the originals at home. Yet these same British reviews are edited and conducted in a spirit an- tirely forcign and antagonistic to the tone of the political and social theories which we hold. The cauee of the failure of the periodicals cited above should teach others the dangers that lie in the path of critical literature. Putnam's dabbled in politics in a spirit foreign to that of the community in which it was established; the North Americon looks at all things through a pair of puritanical spectacles; while the Sowhern Quarterly believed in nothing but the divine institution of slavery. Edited in each a contracted spirit, they addressed them- selves toa amall section of the community, and exeluded thereby the great mass of readers. We want an American review—one that shall gom- When this periodical was started by Mr. Put. | press from Richmond to New Orleans, there is bine the ideal with the ma‘erial in that active and practical way in which American life docs everything.

We have a developement that in all these phases differs essentially from European developement, and one that israpidly attaining a controlling posi- tion in the civilized world; yet our trae practi- cal thinkers—and we have far more of them than is generally supposed—have no great popular medium of communication with their fellow thinkers. In order to make such a reyiew suc- cessful in thia country, it has no need of catering to this or that party or section. Let it. address itself solely to the cosmopolitan tone *of New York, and be so conducted as to meet the prac- tical mind of this great metropolitan city, and it will find thourands of readers all over the world, because in doing this it wili meet the require- ments of the great practical mind of the wholo Union. ‘The Southern Ultras and the Administration —A Loud Call for Senator Hunter—Wiil He Come Out? The Richmond South, one of the most violent of the organs of the Southern fire-eaters in ita unmeasured denunciations of the Kansas policy of the administration, as iustrated by Governor Walker, is reduced to a capitulation by the late Kaneas letter of Mr. Buchanan. The South: quoting the language of the President, says :— The destiny of the Territory is now ie the hands of its Constitutions!

Thus, then, the Kansas gun of these Southern fireeating disorganizers is spiked, and they ad- mit it. They assure us that this Kansas mani- festo of the Preeident “is all that the Southern democracy have ever demanded,” and that, “in enforcing this policy the President will have their cordial and undivided support,” which is unquestionably a very gratifying assurance as far as it goes But there may be a trick in it; and, in fuet, considering the Jate ferocious assaults upon Mr. Buchanan and Gov. Walker from the whole fire-eating something very suspici in this sudden and overwhelming coaversion. We cannot exclude the idea that Gov. Walker's Kansas policy has been the mere pretext, and that a factious sec- tional movement for the spoils and plunder of the next Presidency is the real secret of all this late fire and wrath, and fuss and fury, of these rebellious defenders of Southern rights. In this view of the matter, we transfer to this paper from the Richmond Enquirer, (administra- tion and Wise orgap,) a pungent and seasonable article, bringing the real question at issue be tween the administration democracy and these democratic ultras of the South, to the proper focus. In this article of our Richmond cotem- porary the statements heretofore made, from time to time, by our Richmond correspondent, touching the Wise and Hunter imbroglio among the Virginia demecracy, are fully confirmed, wiih the addition of many interesting new facts, arguments and suggestions. ‘The gist of this call upon Mr. Hunter by the Enquirer, in brief, is this :—There is a Southern faction in the democratic camp whose position towards the administration is little better tnan an attitude of open rebellion. This faction have been making war against the Kansas policy of Mr Buchanan, and have threatened him with the coneequences of an independent eectional party organization. It is believed that this ultra fac- tion are thus commencing a movement for the Presidential succession; that their first object is to get hold of the democratic party of Virginia, and that to this end they have shrewdly ma- naged to make Senator Hunter their special fa- vorite for re-election to the United States Se- nate, against Governor Wise. that the position of Wise is that of full and im- plicit confidence in the adminisiration, while the position of the ultras, at the very best, is that of an armistice dependent upon contingencies. But with regard to the position of Mr. Senator Hun- ter nothing definite is known, He has said no- thing to criminate himself as a fire-eater; but he has said nothing to win the confidence of the conservative Virginia democracy asa friend of the administration. Hence this call of the En- qnirer upon Mr. Hunter to come out and define his position is eminently proper. This is hitting the nail upon the head, and up- on Mr. Hunter depends the question whether this Southern ultra faction shall continue a little longer as a separate organization within the democratic camp, or shall straightway be dis- banded and diepereed. The conservative demo- cracy of Virginia (the bulk of the party) are, it appears, not only in favor of Governor Wise as their firet choice for the United States Senate, but as their first choice for the next Presidency; while the ultras (a small faction within the State, but amore powerful faction in other Southern States) prefer Hunter for the Senate and the Presidency. This Virginia democratic imbroglio, therefore, is something more than amere personal contest between Wise and Hunter—something more, too, than a factious contest for the United States Senate. It is the initiative battle of the Southern ultra faction for the State of Virginia, looking to the Presidential election of 1860. Hence the necessity, on all sides, of a distinct underetanding of the exact position of Senator Hunter. The faction enlisted in his support may be content to take him upen trust, inasmuch as his sentiments and sympathies for some years past have been those of the so-called Soath- ern rights school, with alittle sprinkling of the Douglas fillibustering programme of “Young America.” It.has been the policy, too, of Mr. Hunter to keep his mouth shut, inaamuch as be- tween the ultras and the administration he can- not touch bottom in the approaching Virginia Legislature without the support of some of the friends of the administration and Governor Wise. But, granted that Mr. Hunter is a reliable friend of the administration, his position as the incumbent of the Senate, would secure him a ro- election; because, as a rule in Virginia, they do not change a satisfactory Congressional incum- bent for a new man if the incumbent desires a re-election. Hence, to a great extent, the com mending influence which the Virginia representa- tion in. both houses of Congress has so long maintained, in talenta, experience and parlia- mentary tactice. But the democratic conservatives of Virginia are not satisfied with the present partizan rela- tions of Senator Hunter. They recognize his fine talents, his experience and his abilities as a Senator; but having been taken ap as the cham. pion of the fire-caters, against Governor Wiser and against Mr. Buchanan's administration, the It ie understood | Virginia conservatives must have @ eatisfactory explanation from their Senator, renouncing the firecaters as a disorganizing faction, and pro- claiming his loyalty to the administration, or he must go to the wall. In a word, the Virginia de- mocracy are not prepared to give encour- agement to, nor to countemance a movement, in the election of their United States Sene- tor, which will involve an insidious blow at Mr. Buchapan, the integrity of the democratic party in the South, and a triumph over the ad- ministration and its supporters of disorganizing sectional clique. There is no escape, then, to Mr. Hunter from this call of the Enquirer. Our Richmond corres- pondent assures us that the friends of the admin- istration and of Gov. Wise will have the control of this next Virginia Legislature by a large ma jority. If Mr. Hunter, therefore, desires a re- election to the Senate, regardless of the Presiden- cy, he will lose no time in declaring his alle- giance to the administration, and through this simple act he may recover at once his late stand- ing in the party, and seoure without difficulty a re-election to the Senate. But will Mr. Huater do this? This is a nice question. He cannot ex- pect, in returning to the fold of the regular Vir- gipia democracy vow, to displace Gov. Wise aa their favorite for the succeesion, and so he may possibly prefer to remain as the favorite of the fire-caters, even to the sacrifice of the Senate. We are thus inclined to the conclusion that Mr. Hunter will stand upon his dignity and say nothing, or fail to define his position to the satis faction of the Virginia Legislature. What he may do, however, or may fail to do, will make little or no difference in the practical result. In declar- ing his allegiance to the administration against all sectional disorganizere, be will himself break up the game of the fire-eaters; and in declining to do it, the work will be handsomely done by the Virginia Legislature in the election to the United States Senate of Governor Wise. We apprebend that this last alternative will be the solution of the difficulty, and that among the first and most decisive acts of the Virginia democracy in bebaif of the administration will be the election to the Senate of Wise in the place of Hunter. ‘The quarrel has gone too far to admit of any other expectation, and ro better opportunity could be offered than this case of Senator Hunter for a wholesome lesson of discipline to these boister- ous and troublesome fire-eaters. The Kansas let- ter of Mr. Buchanan has taken away the pretext for their late conspiracy against his admiuistra- tion; but the election of Governor Wise to the Senate will etrike them between wind and water. But let us wait a little. Perhaps we may get some good news from Mr. Hunter. Let us hear from Mr. Hunter. The whole question rests upon the yea or nay of Mr. Hunter. Speak out or fal! back, Mr. Hunter. PERE Sela a Mr. Sickies mv His Proresstonat. Capacity. We publish in another part of thie paper the cer- tificates of Mr. Brady and Mr. Busteed, endorsing the good conduct of Mr. Sickles “in his profes- tional capacity,” as an associate counsellor in the matter of the Street Commissioner case of Devlin vs.Conover. In “his professional capacity” as a lawyer, we can also endorse Mr. Sickles es a faithful man to his client. We were en- tirely satisfied with him, for example, in “his pro- fessional capacity’ as one of our lawyers in the Fry case. We have had no thought of injur- ing him in “his professional capacity” as a law- yer; but his course as a professional politician is quite another thing. As a politician, we have for sometime past entertained no very exalted idea of his tactics; and, taking the Legislature of last winter at Albany, and the Street Commis- sioner’s imbroglio, and the Tammany Hall squab bles all together, we are still of the opinion that Mr Sickles belongs to that class of politicians who can look one way while rowing another, and argue with both sides that it is all right.
