who. after reading II, wished inc 10 anTe the ist-
ter with him, 10 that he might show II TO Mr.
Dean Richmond, the chairman OF our State Gem
trail COMMITTEE. 10 this consented for the fol.
lowing reasons: In the first place, You will see
| in my previous letter that stated that the Sc
| lsctinG of the delegates to the Charleston Con-
ventiOn would be dono in accordance with the
| wishes of Mcssrs. Richmond, Ludlow, CagSer,
and CASSIDY each Of whom, | was informed, were
friendly to you, hut objected to you on account
Of the reported influence supposed to he exercised
over you by Hon. Fernando Wood In order to
disabuss their minds of this impression. and TO
secure their influence and friendship, consented
TO allow the letter to 70 olt ormy hands, not know
ing of any more enectual way OF accomplishing
that object than by showing to them the denial
IF these fasehoods in your own handwriting,
Mr.. Cassidy expressly promised mo that your

This letter was made public, no doubt, with

hear more of hereafter. The Democracy OF the
country believe that tho Giant who was capable
of DESTROYING the monster Know nottingham is
the most com potent and suitable person to des-
troy that monster Of all monaters, Aboitionism;
which, if not destroyed IN 1860, vii! BIZ master
of the field for all time to come.

who if aroused, have no fear. So long rs the
people are right wc need not fear the dishonora.

Yours, truly, B. DoaHELLr.
Now, this is all know about the matter 1t
is no fault or imprudence of mine which makes
the whole public, md thus explaining itself
have no co,nmcnt to make; nothing to paiiiate,
excuse, Or Justify. Who needs defence for trcach-
cry end for gc0es outrage upon all the conf
dence and good faith known among men in civil
ICED life, | leave the public to judge. give MIR
Donnelly's plea, ard believe, until the contrary
appears, that he is innocent. Whether row it
will recoil VIC wilt see. His name was not given
to create the impression obviously that wrote
this letter spontaneously to some member Of the
New York State Committee owe it to mysel!

cate himself from difficulty than Mr.. Wre.

Sam Houston, too, has made speech in the Senate.
His memory of events is sadly Mt variance with the
