MIR. Miners complaint Of the pro
ceedinss at the Manchester Conyen.
ton, opens the whole original ground
OF the controversy that was 50 fully
discussed before the last election. and
which l ought not to 50 into at length
at this time. 1t is we'll known that
the convention was called as Il mass.
con' cntlon. 1t was so called by the
influence of MIR. Burton, at that time
one Of the District Committee. and
MIR. Miners law partner, contrary to
my wishes and the wishes of INV
friends, repeatedly and earnestly cx.
pressed TO MIR. burton. and as nv
friends believed Tor the purpose Of
giving an undue advantage to Mr..
Miner, whose residence was in tho
place, where the Convention was ia
be held. The whole difficulty at The
Convention arose from the unfortunate
basis on which it was called If il
had beer convention If DELEGATES

era! towns, as my friends desired. and
as think it is nov universally admit.
ted, 1t ought to have been. some nom.

without anominatcd candidate. Mr.
Miner /; not justified, IN my cstima,

The Wings in their several towns on
full and fair notice, have expressed
Their references, and majority have
declared against Mr.. Miner.
