CARD o. GcvsRsoR BnSRr-AH Ixrupsrr
SUsTxRruoE.-lThs radicals appear to be winc-
Ing under our report Of the doings Of the Go
vsrnors ct the Altoona conference. and are
rosorting TO all manner Of lodges and subter-
fugss to remove the reasonable mark that has
been placed upon them. They first stuff the
Washington reporter Of the Associated Press,
who was silly enough to believe them; but,
finding that win not do, Governor Berry, Of
New Hampshire, ia buttonholed a. soon Is he
arrives in town. and induced TO issue the fol-
lowing card, which docs not deny any state
meut made by our reporter

Nsw YoRK, MONDAY. Sept 90, 1852.
Having boen requested TO read the NEw YoRK daily
HnRAD OF day far tdescrbes the purposes aud
dongs OF the late conference Of Govcrnors at Altoona and
happening 70 be the only member o. that conference
In this city do not hesitate TO say that the implications
contained in the correspondence from Altoona are without
foundation in fact The merting characterized by
the most kindly feeling harmony Of sentiment and una
nmmy o. action IN support OF the government N mos, >,
the rebellion. N. 8. BERRY,
Governor Of New Hampshire
Never was there more impudent and auda-
cious subterfuge penned 1t denies nothing, it
proves nothing. He says that he "does not
hesitate to say that the implications contained
in the correspondents from Altoona are with
out foundation in fact" What implications ?
He does not say that the question Of removing
Generals Mcclellan was not considered in the
Convention. He does not say that the report
of the debate in reference to Mcclellan il false.
He does not deny that Gov. Andrew brought
the subject before the conference He does not
deny that Gov. Sprague endorsed the position
taken by Gov. Andrew, nor that Governors
Bradford, Tod and Curtin stood up for and
defended General Mcclellan. There il not a
line, a word or a syllable in the card in refe
renee to the statement of our correspondent
about the attempt made to remove General
Mcclellan. Why should he issue card with
our correspondent was false? That is the only
question at issue. On all other points our report
comedies with all others. The only point
on which the veracity Of our correspondent has
been called in question is in reference to the
attack on Mcclellan; but on this point Gov.
Berry maintains perfect silence. The person
who could prepare such card as that, under
the circumstances, would not hesitate to tell a
direct lie if it would serve his purpose
Governor Berry further adds that the meet
ing was characterized by the most kindly feel
ing and harmony Of sentiment" So it was after
the conspirators found that the Convention
would not adopt their anti-McClelian scheme.
There was more accomplished in the session
after nine O'Clock in tho evening than at all the
other sessions put together, the scheme for the
removal Of Mcclellan having been squeched at
the previous session. The fact of the matter is,
cure the adoption Of proposition calling for the
removal Of Mcclellan, but are compelled to bear
the modification Of defeat, and have the world
informed Of the fact. We again positively as
sert that Governor Andrew introduced the sub
ject of urging the removal Of Mcclellan to the
conference, that Governor Sprague sustained
and endorsed the proposition, and that Cover
nors Curtin, Tod and Bradford manfully and
nobly sustained Mcclellan, and defended him in
such decisive manner that Andrew was forced
to abandon the project. Our correspondent has
the authority of three persons who participated
in the deliberations OF the Convention for max
ing that statement either one Of whom is man
Of superior intelligence to Governor Berry.
The radicals and Internal republicans of the
Tribune school having obtained card from
Governor Berry, without its saying, proving
or denying anything. unless it prove the
correctness Of the statements Of our cores
pondent. what subterfuge will they next adopt
to wriggle themselves out of the dilemma
that their reasonable course has placed them
in: We have also direct and positive infor-
nation from Washington that the action of the
Governors has seriously embarrassed the Presi-
dent. The evidence sccumulating in every
direction shows conclusiyely that their work
has an injurious tendency. and. had the radicals
been successful would have proven one Of the
most serious disasters Of the war. 1t is not to
be wondered at. therefore. that they are afraid
Of the vengeance of an indignant people, and
ere resorting TO all manner OF lodges and sub
te"fuges to allay the storm. Let the CALLED
jades vince
a MILITARY CALAMITY AND THk LESSON Ir
