JUDGE THOMPSON,

Or. F0ote has weakened his material falsehood by
ssHeunding it with gratUtOus missiatements. He
says that mo violent debate sprung up AFTER Gen.
Taylors nomination." but that the Convention
~calmly and without debate, proceeded to nominate
. candidate for Vice President"

DR.. Foote'S candidate foI President was the Hos.
Jonn Clayton; and, next to Gen. TsylsT, that de
tinguished wing statesman was ouy own candidate.
We conferred with Dr. FOOte upon the possibility, II
Gen TayloTs nomination was sue ,essfuliy resisted,
OF uniting the convention upon Mr. Clayton, along
