NKw York, "Wednesday mighty
September %, 1858.
cannot too often too theoretically deny the asser-
tons which made daily by certain interested parties
namely that the recent democratic convention at SYRIA
cuse was composed OF 'sofs that the decisions on con-
tested seats were victory for the .sofs and defeat
for the hard and that the said sos are Douglas plot
terssnakes IN the grassopponents OF the present ai
ministmuon. l repeat most positively from knowl-
cage Oh the ict that the vast majority of the dele
gates were as entirely opposed to Mr. Douglas as
they are warmly in favor OF Mr. Buchanan. and that
in no part Of the Union the democrats less likely
to favor Douglasism than in the Empire State
heard prominent democratic statesman remark to-
day. In allusion to this charge against the convention
II do not believe that anybody who knows ANYTHING of
your New York politics and politicians will believe that
you are in favor of Douglas You are two shrewd TO adj
vocate falling cause. This may be the most flat
erng way To express confidence in the ixy Of prn
cpies but even judging from this point of view, it
Is evident that not stupid enough to plot for Doug
las Ii we plot we will do with some remote
chance OF success, not for man who Is so completely
annihiatng himself every day is Stephen A. Doug
las AS an impartial observer, totally disconnected
with either faction in the city, but with warm
and honest devotion TO national democracy / have
watched events and wish the readers of the Union to
be assured that the convention controlled by fac
ous motives influenced in any shape by old feus
that its action purely honest bold and believe
perfectly right and that its endorsement of Mr. Buchanan
and his admnisationits approval of his policyfur.
nish the best refuaton of the silly charge of Douglas
plotting believe further, that the result of the &C
ton OF the convention will be to promote harmony in
the party. &84f
