UTICA, August %, 1853
Bear Sir:-I noticed in the HERALD Of last Friday,
g lO1g communication from the above named young
gentleman, III regard to the Young Mems Democratic
State Executive Committee, and was surprised to
discover that he cherished so much III nature to-
wards myself. Tfse, my convictions of political
duty would not permit to vote for him for chair
OF that important body, or for the adoption of
the elaborate and eloquent address he was vouch.
fsed the honor to report, in consideration that he
had taken such great pains u write It. But the
cord Will also show that all the questions there
passed upon both as regards the organization Of the
committee and its declaration of principles, my
votes were only in accordance with decided majo
rity OF its members; and hence cannot help regard
ing 1t rather unfair In Mr.. Dlaye, to single me
out as the special object If his bitterness.
Still do not believe that all "Dillayes are dan
gerous i" and considering my undoubied agency in
producing his present unhappy frame OF mind, !
should be quite content TO silently endure this little
ebuliton OF soured spirit it not that in his
phrensy be has committed gross Misrepresentation
% facts personal to myself Without stopping,
therefore, 70 criticize bis mastery version Of the
origin aBd acts Of that committee, will at and
