the following letter from Tompklns' whicn

ToMPKISs FOR FILLMORE THE WAY THESE
THINGS ARE DONE.
ITHACA Saturday, May Is 1859
Msssrs. Editors: As we have had spe-
cimen of wre-puling and pipelsying unsurpassed %
fore in these parts deem my duty, a. one OF largo
majority Of the Wings of Tompkins County TO lay tne
faca, before those whom 1t may concern.
The call for q meeting Of Delegates from this Con-
occasional District to choose Representative In the
Wbig National Convention, was made for ne IVA oil
NAV, to be held at Owego Chenung had chosen sco'
Delegates. and Tloga Fimore-so far te-and the 70
suit Of the Convention lay with Tompkins New marx

The five persons forming the Wing County Committee

DELEGATES TO the Owego Convention, County Conven'
tion to meet at Ithaca, Mayed
The next issue of the Fillmore organ of this County
suggests that as the 10Th of May comes on Saturday
the Congressional Convention should meet on some
other day of the week that the Delegates might reach
home before the Sabbath. The response comes BACK
that the l4h Of May is now the day on which the DE-
rct Convention win be held thus debarrng the Wings
of Tonpkins Of an opportunity 70 choose Delegates ss
ell
About this time, 0he 9th Of hayO Custom'nouse
officer from your City makes his appearance, and the
conclsve of ofcehod meet and determine that IN
the absence Of County Meeting, the County Conmaee
should hare the appointing psrv and our fosunaHer
the con of the Editor of The Chronicle, and others Oh
like stripe appointed By said County Conmttee 70
represent Tompkns County and the result you have
q
theivotes of this County Comrnttees Delegates
These proceedings we're secret, and not known to
.pv person not of the clique; and defy any OF the
above worthless to single person In favor Of
Gen Scott who knew of the appointment OF these Del
seates-an supposing that subsequent day would %
named for the meetng-gving the People chance ior
the fair expression of their wishes-and ~ all TINS
time, prominent in The Chronicle was the call OF the
| County Meeting for the ODD.
Now charge these men with what have related above
that was done wfuy and for the one and sole pur
no.e Of defeating the known wishes of the Wings Of
ths County In their choice OF Scott Delegate. They
knew full well that every town would elect Scott Dale
,.. and the result Is one anything but credtable to
them and which Mr. Fillmore himself ought to repudiae
lido not excuse the past apathy Of the Scott men
but they are now wide awake and propose calling
new District Convention and holding the County Meet
| ing as originally called.
One word more: our friend the Custom house oficer
s,vs that If Mr. Fillmore Is not nominated by the Ma
t;o,al Convention he will be by his friends on his
own hook and thus throw the election into the House
where they say his chance gsod-a desperate aterns
| tive. ioi''
We ask our Wing friends out OF the
State to consider these facts calmly and
say whether they think we could carry q
candidate in this State who should be foist-
ed upon US by such barefaced usurpatioa as
this. We ask them to note by what sinu-
Gus devices, what desperate exertions, a
few of the outside rows are carried for Fill
more by his dependents, and contrast this
with the remarkable unanimity of the
great majority of the districts, especially
through the heart of the State, in electing
Scott Delegates, often without q single OPP
posing vote. Remember that it is made
matter of complaint that the People have
frequently chosen as delegates their breth-
rem and neighbors whom Taylor appointed
to but Fillmore has elected from office.
Wings out of the State do not load US
with more than we can carry. You some
times complain of the feeling evinced by
the Wings of this State; but suppose your
most loved and trusted compatriots had
been ruthlessly hurled from Office, and your
main body treated as aliens and enemies
since Fillmores ACCESSION, might not you
| feel as we do?
