Of the country-ior his own part, as TO
money, he would divide his last cent, OF
last crust, with deponenl. Therea2on
Mr.. Iloyt said he would do the same.
And deponent further saith, that said
Stevenson repeatedly assured deponen'
that il he would take a stand against
them, the wings, the party (meaniDg sd-
ministration party would be under such
oblig ations TO me, that ! could have any
Office, or any money, and especially,
that MIR. VAN BUREN WOULD
DO ANY THING FOR Me aud
that should have the office of Consul al
Havrs that MIR. Brent who now has the
office, was old, and could be put out, ns
he was appointed by Gen. Jackson aud
that he, Stevenson, would 60 to WASH
ington about it, but that was unnecessa-
ry, as MIR. Butler and Mr.. Edmonds,
who were confidential friends Of the
President, could and would effect it.
On another occasion, Stevenson, to
operate upon the deponent, said MIX.
BUTLER WOULD GIVE THOU
SAND DOLLARS, and MIR. HOYT
THE SAME, towards paying a certain
demand against me. That late Sunday
morning Mr.. Edmonds wrote note 10
deponent, requesting deponen, to call nj
Edmonds' house, and deponent upon re-
ceiving the note, went there when Ed
monds said, Well | understand you have
concluded not to be of any service to
US. To which deponent replied that he
had so determined. Whereupon said
Edmonds then threatened deponent that
dcponent would be prosecuted. And
deponent farther saith, that Steven
son said to depoDcnt that he would COM
pei the Governor to re-appoint me to the
office of pector-ihat he, Stevenson,
,vouid mesi Mr.. GrinneH o. Mr.. Bocen,
,cih p.s, and wiih PAIR o loaded pistols,
he, Sterenson, anould compel them 10 pledge
themselves 10 secure my re-appotnlmsnt 10
office by the Governor.
/ And farther, deponent smith, that over
and over again, orer!ures q .NONE
and OFFICE hare been made 10 me, 10
impLcuie The GOTER.NOR and the lead
Ing members Of The Wh'g party III The city
OF .New York. And the said stevenson,
in conversations with deponent, after he
had LEFT Mr.. Hoyt's house, on the occa-
sion above referred to, aud were walking
down together, said TO deponent, that
Messrs. Butler, Hoyt and Edmonds could
not enter INTO an agreement ~ respect 10
any particular Office ut this time, because
il would look like bargain with me TO
induce me to come forward, and would
defeat the object. But, said he, there
is MIR. Butler, a man of as much purity
OF character as any man in the country,
and he can do any Hing ruth Nh. Yam
Bmcn-did you not hear him say he
would divide the last cent or crust with
you' Here is Mr.. Edmonds, conf
dental friend and correspondent Of Mr..
Van Buren,, and here is Mr.. Hoyt, the
collector-lhey can do any thing. And
de ponemt believes that Stevenson made
these remarks, because deponent declln-
ed to involve himself, by "a compliance
" ith the overtures made 10 Jcponent al
Mr.. Hoy,'s house.
And deponent farther saith, that he i.
now satisfied that HE HAS BEEN
THE DUPE OF A CONSPIRACY
which, under the prctence Of gaining The
means to compel Governor Seward tt
continue dcponent in office, and thereby
to assist deponent, has from the begin
ming had for its object TO induce depo
nent by promises Of rerord, and then by
/ THREATS Of prosecution, to becom'
tho instrument OF violent attack upon thu
\ GOVERNOR and the Whig party
and deponent farther adds, that in thu
progress of this affair, the said Steven
son has constantly spoken of the uniml
ted power he, the said Stevenson, woul'
ac quirc with the Administration party,
he should succeed in this attack upon th'
Wings. ,
