Another Call.

copper-Johnson rhiladelphia-Conyen-
ton machine, got up expressly to grind
TO pieces the Union Republican party,
but also to ''run" at the same time the
Union, Republican party itself, so long
at least as il remains unground. tie
has just issued call for meeting of
the National Union. Republican Com
mittee appointed by the Baltimore Con-
yention In 1864. Mr.. Raymond has for
some time been noted for his celebrated
feat of riding at one and the same time
two horses going in opposite directions,
but his last attempt Of running" at
once two antagonistic political parties,
will very speedily dump him into the
mire
1t will be remembered that prior to
Raymond's issuing this last call, the
other members of the National Repuh-
lican Committee, who remain true TO
the party, had called meeting of the
Committee 10 be held at Philadelphia on
the 81 of September. With this call be-
fore him, Mr. Raymond asks the Com
mittee to meet at the Aston House in
New York on the same day. 1t can be
nothing less than a bare-iaced attempt
by Raymond to make use of the position
he has forfeited, to betray the Rcpubli-
can party into the hands Of his present
political brethren. The wonder is that
a man of his supposed shrewdness
should imagine for moment that such
a naked swindle could succeed.
The following correspondence be-
tween Raymond and Gov. Ward of New
Jersey, is to the point, and explains it.

Aston House, New York, Aug. %,
Dear SIR A meeting of the Ma
tional Union Executive Committee, ap.
pointed by the National Union Conven-
ton at Baltimore, in June, 1864, will be
held at the Astor House, New York City
on Monday, Sept, 8, at II o'clock m.
HENRY j, RAYMOND,
Chairman.

Hon H. j. RAYMOND.
SIR "A meeting of the National
Union Executive Committee, appointed
in June, 1864, has been called to meet at
Philadelphia on Monday, September s,
and l shall be present on that occasion,
taking part in its elaboration and its
action. You have deemed it wise and
proper to abandon the great Union Re-
publican party of the country, and TO
connect your name and influence with
new organization designed to destroy
and defeat the cause with which | sym
pathize, and OF which l am, IN some
small degree, a representative.
Your public action has been such that
cannot acknowledge your right to use
the title, under which the meeting has
been called. The nature and character
of the trusts contlded to you and to me
forbid that we should use them except
in accordance with the spirit in which
they were conferred. So deep and wide
spread is this feeling in the popular
mind, that all who should respond to
your call would be regarded as betray-
ing the party they have ceased to repre-
sent.
With res pect, yours truly,
MARCUS l.. WARD.

TROUBLE IN THE JOHNSON CAMP IN
NEW HAMPsHIRE.-Th Manchester Mir
ror of Wednesday says:
There was meeting Of the chief
Johnsonians of New Hampshire, to the
number of of some twelve persons, at
the Manchester House, last evening.
Marcy, Harrington, Burns, Bingham,
Hubbard, Cutter, Bowers, Lowering and
Rolfe were there aud few others. To
the CONSERVATION of all Henry P. kolfe
stated to them that he could go with
them no further. He was liberal Re
publican, but he could not bow his knee
clear down to the dust and become a
Copperhead Democrat. The plank he
could not and would not walk was dead
ly hostility to the Constitutional amend
ment"
