OXFORD, Monday, Nov. II.
II. GREELEY; Dear Sir; The great difference
in the vote on the State Congressional and County
Tickets in Chenango County, is easily accounted
for Bennett CWhig) has 873 majority over Tay-
Ior bunker Loco Foco.) The Convention that
nominated Bennett adopted resolutions indorsing
Seward and condemning the Fugitive Slave Law,
while the one that nominated Taylor adjourned
without passing any resolutions. Bennett made
speech in Congress against the Compromise
bill and voted against the Texas Boundary and
Fugitive Slave bills. He is Radical Wing, and
occupies Seword ground, and was warmly sup
ported by the rank and file of the Barnburners,
and bitterly opposed by the Silver GrayS, alias
Hunker w higs: hence his large majority.
Harris and Ingersol, who are elected to the
Assembly, are both Radical Wings. Their OPP
ponents were Old bunker Loco-F ocos, and re
ceived the votes of the Silver Grays" and the
warm support OF the Dickinson Dem0cracy but
the Barnburners generally voted for Harris and
Ingersoll With such aid, no wonder the former
received SOC majority and the latter 1913, in
County usually LoCoFoco by about 400 majority.
Seymour has 300 majority in the County over
W Washington Hunt Why has Seymour received
this majority, when Bennett has S13 majority IN
the County | answer: First Because Nh Hunt
didnot odd lack fashion, Internationally accept
the Syracuse nomination without regrets for
ANYTHING that had occurred. Second, Because he
wrote the Granger Letter. And lastly, Because
the Utica Convention indorsed the Ticket and
daubed it all over with Hunkerism. Mr. Hunts
position was thus rendered cquivocal. Many
Wings gave him a cold support because they
feared he might be of the Duer and ketchum
stripe and the Barnburners would not vote for
him because they were not fully satisfied that he
was Radical W hig They said they preferred
an Old Hunker like Seymour to Hunker Wing
of the Granger school, The Granger Letter did
not satisfy the as Silver Grays, and many OF them
voted for Seymour
Had the Utica Convention put up q separate
ticket and the Granger letter never been heard
Of washington Hunt would have had as large
majority in the county as Bennett, instead OF be-
ing run under to the tune of 300. The Barnburn-
ers ready to support the ticket as long as
they believed II stood on the Syracuse Platform
but as as it was dyed q ought to say died in
Huukerism at tica they turned their backs on it.
Tie Wings elected Dwight II. Clarke ESD.
District Attorney by - majority, over Barn,
burner Mr.. Clarke is personally popular, but he
got his election by Hunkerrevenge. The Hunkers
cut his Barnbumer opponent because the Barn
burners would not vote for Hunker for Congress
and for Hunkcr Assemblymen. Mr. Clarke is a
radical Wing and is made of the pure metal.
The Ne,c. York Express was powerful for mis-
chief during the canvass. Itconyinced the Barn
burners that the Wing ticket was made up OF
Hunkers and It's readers generally voted for Sey-
mour and against Bennett, and for the old Hunker
candidates for the Assembly. If TIE EIpeSS
had taken open ground against the Wing candl-
dates it could not have induced more OF its read
ers to vote the LocoFoc ticket than did vote 1t.
Its open opposition would have given the Wings
TWO Barbuners for every " Silver Gray 1t drew
from us.
