the early part Of the present week, when
we met for the FIRST time since the adj urn

bargains and their incidents, we viii re-
mark that we have no bargains with any
one-ncne with eacl, other none " itl any
body else that Ne never have had any anc
never will have any,-and we challenge
the world TO produce single man who
will say that either Of us ever proposed or
ever entered into bargain with him or
any other. person in reAution To any matter
calculated 70 effect the interests Of the DEM

canno, maintain our position in the party
without resortingt The diplomacy Of knaves
and becoming huck stering politicians, We
will be well conte II with an endless obliv-

us an honest reputation. In regard to The
charge Of promise of appointment to Office
We have word 70 add. We repeat, that
the whole charge, from beginning 10 end,
is utterly, absolutely and UNANIMOUSLY FALSE.
No ovcrtnres direct o. indirect, have been

, either OF US, with reference to any Office:

for or his promise OF any appointment what

: applicants for nor expectants OF any ap-
poinimenl from the President: and there is
at present M thing more remote from oar
: intentions than 10 become applicants for
txecutixe iavors.

deemed necessary, first, in Justice 10 Gen.
Dodge secondly, in viLdication Of our.
