Cagger, are the controlling spirits, and either
of these if they supposed YOU were not com

would be your friend This, l find is their
impression though not publicly expressed
Mr.. Wood is a very smart man, and is much
feared by the politicians, but his misfortune
seems to consist in having no one to back him.
Had he the strength that these others have in
the country districts, he would be our next
Governor. But in the country he falls behind
and seems to be very unpopular amongst the
farmers and Others. Your best way is to keep
clear of all cliques and factions. Side with
none of them and when it is determined who
are to be the delegates, and also who has con-
troll of them, it will then be time enough to be-
come identified"

ms ErceHency, Gor WISE: My dear sir
Much to my surprise and regret, find pub
lished, in to-day Herald your letter to me of
the 18th of last month. When received the
same showed 1t to three or four distinguished
and honorable friends, each of whom had the
letter IN their possession only while reading it;
consequently they could have no chance of
copying 1t. Alter which, on Saturday last,
while IN Albany, showed the letter to Mr..
Cassidy, the able editor of the Albany Argus
and Atlas, who, after reading it, wished me to
leave the letter with him, so that he might
show 1t to Mr.. Dean Richmond the chairman
OF our State Central Committee. To this con-
scented for the following reasons: In the first
place, you will see in my previous letter, that
stated that the selecting of the delegates to
the Charleston Convention would be done in
accordance nee, with the wishes Of Messrs. Rich
