Donaldson and Greer. We copy it from
the New York Herald of Thursday, only to
expose it as a most unauthorized trick
Mr.. Richie, of the Richmond Enquirer,
never authorized its publication, for the OBJ
ject evidently meant to be accomplished is
that he would Indignantly revolt FROM
That excellent gentleman will no doubt cX
pose the whole affair when it comes to his
knowledge. The designs of the secret
agents in Now-Yoik is to create the impress
sion that the next National Democratic Con- /
vention has been called by Democrats and
Abolitionis.s combined To this end, they
use, without the slightest authority, the
name of certain members Of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, ap-
pointed in 1913, of which the writer Of this
is a member. Some names are stricken out
of the list of the Committee, and the vacan-
cies filled with the names OF notorious sec
tional or free soil leaders, The object is
plain. 1t is TO create the impression that
there is Z union in the Democracy between
conflicting and hostile forces, and this is to
be asserted and urged by all the Wing speak
ers and papers in the country. We now
only write to expose the scheme, and 10 state
that the Democratic National Executive
Committee will soon be called together to
consider this outrage upon the national or
organization OF the Democratic party"
1t is not to be expec ed that we should or
could control the National Democratic Com
mittee. nor do we desire that onr object OF
motive in publishing the correspondence re-
referred TO should be misstated OF misunder
stood. We know nothing Of Mr.. Donald
son or Mr.. Greer; but we do know that
the letters which were written to them, and
copies of which we published, were genu-
/ inc. We saw the originals, in the hand
writing OF the respective parties, and with
/ the post marks on them. In relation 10 The
letter signed james Sanborn, which VIC al
forwards published in connec ion with 4
call for the meeting OF the National D,m0-
cratic Convention, all we Lave 10 say is, that
they came from the same source lhGt the
previous letters came from; but we never
said that the signatures to the cal were
genuine. We know no more Of Mr.. San
born than we do of Mr.. Donaldsoo; and
what we or any one else knows Of tie latter
we think is not much. But the letters that
were written in reply TO both Donaldson ono
Greer were genuine. II is an cd saying
that old birds are not TO be caught will
chai, We saw they were genuine; We
knew they were genuine; and their gcnu
ineness was never gainsayed. We stated
so at the time we published them. W.
, certainly said nothing of the kind in conncc
ton with the call for National Democratic
Convention; and if people at distance cal
not distinguish between what we say is gen
uine, and do not say is so, the fault is will
them. and not with us. 1t is their mistor
tune-nOt ours.
. And now, in conclusion, let us say tha
is the business of the Democratic Nationa
Convention to find ont who the person wa
= that sent Us all these letters. We consid
cred it right to publish them, and we still
think so. We do not believe that eithe
Mr.. Andrews, of Maine, Mr.. Richie, c
: Virginia. or Mr.. Crcswcll, of New York
! had any thing to do with the call; and W
believe rightfully-othcrs may, and probo
bly, will, do the same. We never said tn
. signatures to that document were genuine
On the contrary, we thought they were moi

to iniure the party, and we published til

h will yet thank us for what we have done i
this matter.
