Comments on the foregoing.


ITHACA, Friday, May %, 1851
lam obliged that you allow me my vindi
cation from the unprovoked stack ofD upon to ap
pear In the same paper for It s but just that the
eyes should both Sides which IL often not the
Ii the articles appear In different papers.
As denial now comes from the right source shall
state my authority and if prove, by the mouth of D.
and his associates the facts asserted leave the infer
ence with the public. *
The organ here says there is not in my former letter
single truth contained We shall see.
The first fact stated that Chemung and Tiago were
de, is found in the published proceedings of the
Convention itself Second, to the County call
being on the 22d, I refer to The Chronicle under
date OF April 90 and naming the 9th 2sh proba.

Owego No. g. The next number stated the treasy-
ninth as the day. and this or the next issue suggested

No G. That the Postmaster and also the of the
Editor of The Chronicle were Delegates The Chronicle
Of May 26 will tell.
No. Is the result which The Chronicle of the 10Th
contains in the appointment of Mr.. Barstow to Balti
more.
No. g. That three of the five were ofice-holders.
refer to Messrs Ferris, Branch and Goodrich who q
have no doubt will show D. their credentials provided
he asks in the same gentemany language which charac
teIizes the above.
No. g. That the proceedings of the Committee were
secret again aver and defy them to name a Scott
man who knew of them. The scheme concocted in
the BARRIERS shop of coored man--Custom House OF
fcer and all present at first rolcall. And further
aver that, when one Of the Committee advised more
open course 1t not carried oat; and finally,
the call being prominent in The Chronicle the paper
itself proves 1t.
Thus | have carefully run over every fact and
ton in my letter of May Is, and ask you and every
candid man how much of the bingsgate of the above
ought 10 rest on my shouldersi fling them back In
the face of d. Your readers entitled to these
facts and gave them with honest desire to expose
fraud and uphold right But | have incurred the dis
pleasure of the clique of panderers for office. You
have been charged with publishing lies countless in
numbers, and they do no, seek to dsprove them but
bestow invctives. And whyf For the true solution
they must ask themselves, for none know better.
That the Committee which went from this County did
not seek TO procure adjournment aver; they de-
declined voting when the question was up. How does
this correspond with the instructions above land
one of the committee said since that when they had
nice trap 1t would not do not TO spring it, Now Fill
more man In Toga. told that there were ten Scott
there to one Fillmore and that such Is the fact In
this county every knows. Thus II Is clear 10 every
one that 1t against the wishes IF majority that
these things should be carried out j have done.
