But what desire to learn i, this, r. Cenerol Tov
Tor IS mot bound by the action Of the Pladelpha Con
mendatons, who may not Mid II fGaara it,
their action, what right has he to lend the influence Of
his name to the defeat of Mr. FILLMORE who was asso-
cated with him, by the same body Of men bv nccep-
ting nomination with Gen. Butler a Loco Foco,
whose election he thereby assists in promoting In
hlg party and especially all those who rarticpa
ted IN the proceeding at Philadelphia, and if they had
any W iig spirit left Il. them, they would resent it.
II 1t Is ascertalned that the purpose cf that Conycn
ton was perverted from its original legitimate objects
OF asccrtalnng and giving expression public scnti-
ment; by smothering it the one hand and manufac
turing It on the other; in other words it has lern
asceralned,(of which there is doubt that the nom
NATION was made through the instrumentaitv of 30.
ltcans without the slightest reference to the public
WIZ and that the interests of the party likely to be
sacrificed by It, then hold that the error ought to be
corrected promptly by the people themselves and
trust IN Tod the meeting you notify Of may put the
IN motion that it may roll and gather as it rolls IN
til the Wing party shall have its eyes opened to its true
condition and uniting as one the only one who
embalmed IN the hearts of his countrymen we NAV
command triumph that our real strcnth entities u,
to achlve ] shall be in New York very shortly.
Yours, truly, in great haste
