The words talicsed quoted IL copied from tsis
paper It will be perceived at that they are not
only misquotaton but gross pervcrsion what We
did say We said nothing about any coalition" though
not surprised mt the sentvencss exhibited lest
the word should be used The contradiction Of
saton not made by us is significant Tho Union stated
fact which berty and justice to political oppo-
ncns us To state lad we stated there was No
!" harmony at the caucus " between Mr. Seward and
the Southern wings" we should have been assaiiod
seeking to nisrcpresent the facts
Now in tho first place, il the Union had been in
the habit Of receiving Geographic despatchos-a sup
position which, ] confess is very improbable-it
would have known that quotations are not marked
in Geographic messages and that therefore the quo
tations were not made by the correspondent who
sent the message; and, although the sentence does
not give the exact words of the Union, it did not
profess to do, it gives the exact mcaning-that is,

What does this mean, but to nsinuato that ques-
tions were discussed which aight naturally have
caused want Of harmony between Mr.. Seward,
who is mentioned by name, Of course, tho embo-
dment of ultra Northern feeling and tho Southern
wings; but that. notwithstanding, the utmost
harmony prevailed. The term coalition means
''coming together" and most assuredy whom
tho Union asserted that the utmost har-
mony prevailed between Mr.. Seward and the
Southern wings, it doing il no wrong to say
that it spoke of them coming together" said
it was simply absurd to mention Mr.. Stewards
name and the Southern wings in such way to
lead to the inference evidently intended by the
Union; and did so because the facts Of the pro-
ceedngs at the meeting showed that no questions
whatever were taken up, beyond directing Mr..
Mangum to communicate with tho wings of the
House that tho wings of the Senate wished to confer
with them at future day, as to the time and place
for holding the national convention. | wrote, sup
posing that the linton meant something by its no.
lice Of the meeting, and its alluson to Mr. Seward;
and if it did anything, it il susceptible Of but
one Interpretation. Perhaps, however, il did not
mean anything, which is very possible, as it would
not be the first unmeaning article which has APP
pcared in its columns of late u.
