will BIZ observed that Mr. Dennston's denial is. that
he bad Contributed $3.50 TO fund for the election Of the
American cket He probably reconces bis conscience q
he Utica ticket is not American ticket and secondly
because this money paid only TO SECURE his sue

ticket
Now, I INSERT upon the direct authority Of a mem-
Der OF the American State Committee, that Mr..
Dennison did directly pay to that committee the
sum Of three hundred and 1fty dollars, for cleo
ton purposes. What Mr.. Denniston intended within
his own mind should be the effect Of his contrbu-
ton entirely mmateral; but he cannot and not
deny the fact that he has paid money caused 30

The exposure Of Ibis treachery to his associates upon

his plea Of "not gultyy This holdng with the hare while
running with the hounds''is calculated only make Mr.
Dennston offensive TO those who adopt him as an anti
Seward man now, as to those who defeated him as an
anti Seward man in 1857

republicans and rotten American strikers In this city

The Republican State General Committee have at
