To the Editor of thsiNs r. NeI0s: r., x
StR: In tie World Of the goth, I observe
an article copied from, the LALbGlyi ALStfs,
relating to Judge Advocate Holt's "Great
Copperhead Conspiracy" and which con-
tains the following: IL
.ssMr. Vallandigham was In misesable
minority in the Chicago Convention BE
sought to be chairman OF the COMMITTEES on
Resolutions, aud was beaten two 70 one
He lead the opposition 10 Mcclellan, and
after his letter of acceptance threw up his
engagements to speak" sl-.Ai-" g.
Now, have rcfraiued In every speech,
except the frst-and4 have made many
in support of the Democratic candidates
for President and Vice President-ftom
any allusion to the ptivatep history of the
Chicago OonVention, and didEnot prppose
to refer to it further until after the leiecz
tion. But do not choose TO snfer the
foregoing to. pass nnnoticed even now 1t
would be difficult to compress more mis-.
representation, in q small way, within the
same compass. as.- =. ,.---.z -. l.rs -

erable minority pat the Chicago Conyen-

man Cassidy, who wrote, and Marble, who
endorses the statement, The latter hand

q. Mr.. v. was not "beateu two 20 one"
for the ehairmauship of the comwittee on
resolutions, Through the artifices of Cas-
sidy, Tilden, and other New York politi-
oiaus, Mr.. Guthrie, of Kentucky, received
twelve votes to his eight for that post; but
Mr.. G was himself afterwaTd emphatically
repudiated by the convention when pre-:
sented by "the ring" as their candidate for
the Vice Presidency Me- v. wrote the
second, the material resolution of the Chi
cago platform, aud carried It through the
sub-committee, and the general commit
tee, In spite of the most desperate and per-
sistent opposition on part Of Cassidy and
his friends, Mr., G.. himself in an adjoipipg
room laboring TO defeat It. Bat the yRri-
ous substitutes never at.any, time received
more than three votes. iiopo I'D
8. Mr.. v. did aot "IeGd the opposit lion
to Mcclellan" but confined his efoTts al:
lmcst exclusively TO the question of plat
form. he did, indeed, vote against Cen
erat McC ClelIRn on the frst, but for him on
the revised ballot, and moved sthGt the
| nomination be made eunRnimolsS whereupon
| Cassidy threw up his hat and shouted, and
he and ali his fellows proclaimed Yallan,
dighaml q very proper man. % -sesu,

Ter in any State and is now here in.Illinoil
on the same errsnd, and, without immod-
eSty, he may say he has accomplisheS
quite as much Of good for heleause o!
Cassidy and his AfgEs. h The people lach
"confdence" in Cassidy. .alsssi IA

on the part of q certain class Of Now YoEl
