was ever elected by the people. But 1t is possible to
e.plan how some of these gentlemen became boilers
before they were aware Of tho fact, and what
is tho exact extent of the constituency which
sends them TO make merry at Saratoga along with
T. W. and his wagon-load of rich men. On
Thursday, at o'clock, the Saratoga Convention as
we are duly informed was organized in Mr. Thurlow
Weeds lodgings at the Aston House. with the follow
ing formidable tea.party: Supervisors Shook Blakely

Here, then is the beginning aud end in brief of the
Saratoga Convention just as Mr.. Weed and The Times
ordained it. The people had no part in it whatever,
nor is it certain that all the delegates uncompain-
ingy accept the bad fortune that has been prema-
turely bucked on their backs. If Mr.. Weed and The
Times determine at all hazards TO convene them
selves, We shall not endeavor TO prevent Them But
the people must be fully informed that the Saratoga
movement" is in fact appointed, directed and
controlled by the said parties and none other and
that, as cause pretending to emanate from tho peo
pie, il Is without character and TRUTH
Before the Convention meets at Saratoga we shall
probably have revised list of names, unless its or
ganizers are content with the present chances for
merry meeting Meanwhile, to show that all the dele
gates whose election was slammed to beat together
hurried Convention do not consent to the mposture,
we subjoin letter from one Of them, which The
Times refused to print:
