For The Ph0HiT.
Mn Rvrnru-s will avail myself Of your courtesy los,y
few words in reply the last effort Of Many whga" In
doing this however shall pass the eGusons Of his spleen
which arc penuy interpreted through most OF his ace
As unworthy moments confederation
In relation to the organization Of the late convention the truth
is that on calling and finding that majority Of them
were opposed the plan of the Committee il was readily seen
that their plan could be adopted without doing injustice ana
irving great offence and consequently abandoned V
common consent all good Wings invited to take part
in the proceeding Little objection was urged 70 maAns
the nominations by ballot And is believed that no motion
was made to raise committee nominate candidates. The
inference this is that desired IT, or So thai hey
cared little about propose and urge that committee Ne
raised purpose Certainly would have been most ab
surd the candidate for that way and de-
pe the large body Of the convention Of foil and fir
Of preference In view Of these facts with what iaco
can Many whgsT he does in his arees iba every
body expected that would be pursued the reeommen-
daion Of the Committee adopted II every body et-
pcecd a. he says why did not somebody propose IT, and
urge it, upon consideration Of the conyenoni That this

much about it--no, Many wbigs' himself Bot will

Thus the Convention organized, and the mode Of pro
eeedings settled No conpainedno appeared to be

deeesedand this in his humble opinion UNJUST unfair
and dishonest"
Now let Us examine this matter ae and ~ha, iounda

-four towns named But what truth there in the statement
"Msny Wings" that those four any Of them

If there had been ssefy ooHtirsd dssign to
unfair advantage that instead Of - from Ne~ne and
