few words more OF the career Of William G
Rhodes, one of the Soft delegates to Cincinnati
from this district. In 1910 or lS4l this William,
Y. Rhodes came from Pennsylvania to Elmra
Chemung county, and became one of the editors
OF the Enaira Gazette, then, as now, one of the
most rabd Freesoil papers published in this State
and, during the Administration of President Polk.
tins paper said many hard things of Governor
Marcy and our Daniel s. Dickinson
In ls47 or ls48 this Free-so editor left Elmira
and went back to Pennsylvania. In July 1s4s,
ne again appeared in this State, in the character
OF delegate from Pennsylvania to the Eree-soil
Convention held at Buffalo, and then and there as
sisted In nominating Van Buren, and Adams, and
laying down the famous Buffalo platform Soon
after he appeared as editor. of Free-so sheet
at Bath, Steuben county, which position he now
occupies. In 1858 he tried his hand at Office
hunting at Washington Tut, on account of his
connexion with the Elnlira Gazette, we Hards
were enabled to defeat him.
Last fall this same Free-so editor supported a
county ticket part Free-soil and part Black Re-
publican" His paper has ut all times opposed
all National Democrats as well as all national
measures, and adhered to Free-soil notions. Can
it be possible after this that he possesses so much
bodness as to offer himself for, or even to take
seat in, National Democratic Convention
supposed he possessed some shrewdness, but
begin to doubt it,
There s one thing you may bet on, f he does
not get into the convention, he will support the
Black Republican" ticket, and so will all his
brethren, in any event. s

To tie Editors Of tie New York Daily Neps:
Iperceive your Washington county correspond.
ent has given sketch in your daily of the political
life of Messrs. Todd and Bishop Soft delegates to
Cincinnati, from the fifteenth Congressional dis
trict. Can it be possible these two men will have
the boldness to appear at the Cincinrati Conyen-
ton, and claim to be admitted az National Demo-
craftsmen that have devoted their time and tai
ents for years iu assisting to destroy (and would
have rejoiced had their object been successfully
accompshed) the great Democratic party of this
State 1t is indeed amusing to examine the late
political life of these Soft worthless, who have been
selected to represent this State in the National
Convention. Why, according to their political BIZ
ography, they have no business to present their
credentials at the Democratic Convention, but the
Black Republicans may receive them in full COM
munion, for such have been their lives and expe-
rence that they will be surely admitted TO take the
black veil with impunity. sFg
