made tuch a slight impression uyon my rniod, tlas
l ,snH0t Low recall them either In substance OF
cetall. TIC Whole conversation or interviow could
OF haFe lated over fifteen minutes, and was o.
again RENEWED. The real diff ul,y with Mr.. Mann is
that be had q predetermined progrs mme, TO. the
execution OF which be, In mis- own mind, counted
upon my aid. In that he was disappointed.
AS to TO the idle rurnor in reference to my nomi-

TO exist, but wtboot any stateMcos Of itssorce or
its autho ity, AIN content 70 stand on tho know
ledge and jucgment Of every member Of the conyen-
ton but Mr. Mann.
The idea Of my packing the Committee on Resclu.
tiops is without the slightest foundation.
vas congratulated by gentlemen representing
every shace Of opiaion an having constituted that
committee fairly aod udciou.ly, and ha 70 no doubt
hso tho ames Of its member been prev oasly sub
mHted TO Mf AanD, that it would haye met his ap
provsi.
bad no understanding with any member OF the
committ. as to what course he should pursue. nor
did know until Che report Of the committee c ane
in what result 1t bad aerced upon.
In my Judgment, aby demo rat who participates
In convention conducted with the order, oecorum
a, strict Observance Of paran sntary rules which
disfirguisbed the convention of the 9th lost, and
who did not openly ard nsnfull, withdraw from the
G INVENTION, IL 10 honor bound by ita proceedings.
In such case, whatever individual preferences he
kr-1 hA kw,I IrwAA Htu. hA.
render Them 10 tbe viii of the majority.
In common with many others at Syracuse I did
40, and commend the same course now to Mr..
Mann, and bot that, under the imposes OF defeat or
The previously Determined eictation OF Saratoga
convention, the prospective action Of the at
Auburn, he should pudiate the action OF regular
democratic conve Dti,n, and make deliberate
assault on the motives of honorable men and sound
cemo, rats. Ny own individual views the Ne
bfast o bill ere well knpwt. It IA Mt my purpose
OF q IL time to enter into their dscussi IN bat simply
TO repel the unfouDded imputa zoos against my
a. ton iU the convention. Yours very truly.
