II 90 happens that ihe writer OF this article was
also the writer of the resolutions OF tn- STATE Con-
veutioa at Syracuse il September last, winch nom

State officers and Presidential Electors. The kdi-
tor Of the Tribune. though ignorant OF ;hsiF aa-
,horshp. has Quoted thai which condemns tie
ino,titous aad di-honoreble scheme Tor ihe Annex

lurions reported by tha, Coaveniion's Committee

liar views were 10 total opposition TO an: ntfoduc-
ron of the Slavery and Anti-Slavsry questions, and
tba; .be Committee finally agreed with him, iha;
the opoosition Of the Wings OF New-YorS TO the
Annexation Of Texas might well be placed or the
grounds assumed by The gallant Wings OF Nen-
t,ckv. North Carolina and the whole South. The
coincidence between the call OF the CITY Meeting

Mass Meeting (uf October y was entirely acct

The Editor of the Courier dare no; name any
,erson in the Committee or the Convention or any
who counseled with them, whom !; will charge
with the imputed plot He dare not attempt to
name any man who told him so.
| Another charge made by the Courier and Enqui-
-er against the Wing party In lis recent acton IS,
that the Mayoraiy Convention was packed TO
secure the nomination OF Dudley SELDES Inc
writer of this communication was elected, with Two
others. to repr sent the Wings Of one OF the Wards
Of this City in that Convention There was great
unasirnity in the Ward meeting, but no person
named Mr Selden, except rs one OF several wof'nS
c.odidates. either of whom would be acceptable.
| It is believed that the three delegates from that
Ward voted in the Convention uniformly tor three
different candidates The writer OF tins communi-
cation rots,i a gginst Jf Ssdsn on each of The three
ballots which were taken before nomination was
made by the Convention. If there had been any
appearance Of TIE Convention having been packed,
! h. would have been the first 10 deHouace II. He
was appointed BY the Chairman before personally
/, stranger 10 hm) one of COMMITTEE 10 notify
Mr.. Seldcn of the nomination. and urge his ac-
cep,ance Of il, He performed that duty, and was
.rati.ied by that acceptance. He was then appoint
I'd Chairman of the Committee TO prepare the Ad-
dress and Resolutions and in that Address eX-
pressed his own deliberate opinions OF Mr.. Selden :
qualifications, to which the assembled Wings OF
New-York so enthusiastically responded on Tues
day night And though originally opposed 70 Mr.
Selden's nomination, after having done all IN his
! nower TO defeat him. he is so satisfied with Mr..
Selden's public action and declarations since the
nomination, tha, he Judges him The most proper
candidate. and is now doing all in his power TO
elect him
As TO any declaration which the Editor OF the
Tribune NAV have made that be expected Mr.. Sci.
den's nomination the writer OF this knows nothing
bnt he does know that more than week before
the s,ee,ing of the Convention, asking him at an
accidental interview, Gas he dix many other per
sons,) what were his preferences among three OF
four candidates, Tor the purpose of sscertainug Mr.
Greeley's opinions wiihou; expressing his own, The
answer given HIM was expression OF perfect IN
Inference as TO the selection. Z" Any BonY-any

we're five candidates voted tor IN the Convention
