FalIs.

George N. Sanders. with some twenty
or thirty rebel politicians and officers, is
now at Niagara Falls, plotting and
scheming in behalf of jeff Davis and his
villainous cause, Remaining, as they do,
on the Canada side, they are in favor

who visit that locality during the hot sea
son. From all accounts they are making
the most of this advantage. They have
ooacocted grand scheme for the control
Of the Chicago Convention. Their pro-
ject contemplates forcing a rupture and
division of the Convention, after tie man
ner Of the Charleston split in 1860. This
is to be brought about in way that will

tions, and, with them thus maddened, in
augurate a system of riot and insurreo-
ton. not only in the West, but also in
this and other Eastern cities. The split
in Charleston, in 1860. was accomplished
by the seheming Of Yancey, Slidell, Da-
Wis and other leaders in the Southern
States, for the very purpose of bringing
about state of affairs that would give
them plea to inaugurate rebellion. A
break up in that Convention was neces-
sary, or rather preliminary step in pre-
pairing the public mind Of the South for
the revolution which was already planned
by the leaders. In accomplishing lhisssre-
suit they were assisted by the Albany Re-
gency, and other unscrupulous politicians
