1t is unnecessary to say that we did not publish
the foregoing, and that we saw at once that the
whole thing, from beginning to end, was the work
of Slievegammon & Co. No convention whatever
took place, and there is no such person ii. Den
ney" The object of this dodge was to make the
Webster appear ridiculous, and to make light of
all the secret discomfort and open hostility in the whg
party, in reference to the Baltimore nominations.
1t was an abolition scheme, in which the csadjutors
of Seward and Greeley played their parts as-good
and smart puppets. They saw that the threatened
Webster secession, and other clements of rebellion,
were gathering, like thunder clouds in the distance
and they devised the plan of calling convention
that was not to take place, in order to anticipate
the meditated blow, and produce premature explo-
sion. Knowing the character Of the New York
HERALD for correct and early intelligence, they
conceived the scheme Of making us, without our
knowledge, accessories to the publication of their
Slievegammon report, in order to gain it temporary
credence. But old birds are not to be caught with
chaff.
That the Tribune Office is the centre of these
Slievegammon movements, with ramifcations ex-
tending all over the country, we have proof posi-
tive. There is but one Slievegammon establish
ment in the United States The chap in Phila-
delphia who writes to us under the fictitious sigma
ture of H. Denney,' is utilization Of the parent
humbug in Spruce street; and there are other chaps
in other cties-one, for instance, in Concord-who
are members of the same secret organization. We
have said that we have proof positive that these
movements are all conferred in the Tribune office.
What is it, 1t is the following, which appeared in
the Ncc York Tribune, of Friday last, and is just
patch with which it was intended to follow it up
next day.
