evening.
There i. all and, dressed ont ss 1t is In the
Courier's Italics, we submit to the judgment Of
every fair mind that it sustains our position and
relutes the Couners imputations. Bear in mind
that, from the receipt Of Taylors Allison letter 1T
Washington when we were first inpelled to des-
pair Of Mr. Gays nomination, down TO the decision
at Philadelphia, was some five or SIX weeks,
throughout which we were doing our utmost for
Clay and against Taylor. Column after column
filed The Tribune designed TO prove that Clay
ought 10 be nominated yet here IS the best the
Courier can pick out whereby TO prove that we
were misleading our readers with confident eX-
pectation that he acoud be- Does any one suppose
we would have said SO little Of the prospect if we
had really endsavored 70 create a confident belief
that Mr.. Clay would be nominated lianegatiye
ever or can be proved, then Is our vindication
complete, simply on the evidence adduccd 70 con
Wet rs
But, says the Courier The Tribune should
have procured It's readers Tor the result, and thus
have lessened the keen disappointment &c &c.
Indsed When has the Courier ever felt bound
70 opprso its readers, during the tendency ola po
ltical contest that its candidate certain to be
defeated We well remember the rating It gave
US IN 1874 for our alleged misudgment aud want
! OF nerve in admitting the probability OF Mr. Gays
1eieat the morning after the Election was over
hereby Wings had been prevented from win
Vning good many thousand dollars in bets on Mr.
C.s triumph This new assault is as blundering
and irrational as the old one.
We did feel a strong and generally increasing
apprehension from the reception Of the Allison let
ter rs aforesaid, that Gen Taylor would be noini-
mated but while there is life there's hopc'-at
least ray Of hope. as We Tclegraphcd from Phil
ndelpha-snd that ray justified our utmost exer
lions. - have openly conceded Iaylor's nomina
ton y lncvitabls would have eztinguishoi that
ray We were associated with men as earnest
rs faithful, as intelligent. who confidently hoped
while we almost dcspaired-who might very prob
ably be right in spite Of us. We felt that we had
moral right to paralyze their exertions by pro-
claiming them inevitably doomed to failue.-Need
We say smother word on this head
But the Courier is not satisfied with persist
ing in its original calumny. II asserts that
"The Editor Of The Tribune is engaged in collecting
Information He Is writing scores of letters, TO every
part OF the Northern States ascertain whether the
Free States ripe for The UPRISING which,, he
says sooner later lie u waiting FOR
the answers % these lettors
There is not a word OF truth in this We have
faithfully fulfilled our promises TO wait to take
time for reflection to wai, the developments
Of public sentiment with regard TO this nomina-
ton, and follow instead Of seeking to lead. We
have written no single letter ia relation 70 it save
in reply to urgent appeals to MS, end have not an.
swered one-tenth OF these. And in no one case
have we indicated settled purpose to oppose Gen.
Taylor's election nor counsced any one else to
do so.
One more untruth Of the couri6r and we leave it
"The Wing party should understand distinctly that
The TrbRss hestates about supporting the Wits ticket
only TO ascertain pAs'Ar, bgcgpo'ae q con defea t. Il
/, ground believe that il IL win desert and
N mol m thp can
discover a better opportunity"
To refate this calgnny VIC need but repeat the
conclusion Of our article announcing Gen Tayors
nomination, written on thevery evening after that
nomination was made, and published in the mex,
mornings Tdbane:
"For part, we shall take tim, for reelection

uprising which nYsf como sooner later, and which
this domination has done very much 10 prccipiistc why
thea &C are ready Our present impression Is that the
time has not quite arrivcd-5ut VIC shall see"
These are our words, written a few hours after
Gen. Taylors nomnaton--to their spirit we have
ever since been faithful in word aud deed. We
will in no wise aid, either directly OF indirectly,
the election of the trcacherous Doagh-iscc O.

prospect tia, the bulk Of the Free States can be

Soil issue. we are there. With such an uprisin
Cass would be nowhere, Gor we don I believe the
South means TO support so recent and shameless
an apostste fnom Free Soil in preference to an
extensive Stakeholder Only let the issue lie
plainl, between Taylor aud Free Soil oand

Taylor and Cass, we greatly prefer the former
