New-York tribune., 1871-09-11

I
the right wrtng Of tho action Of the State Committee
In directing the reorganization
Mr.. Cornell thinks it an endless and iDsig-
niGcant business to be convicted of six false
hoods in one short letter He has no answer,
and therefore he tries to make none he ls
only anxious to put aside these endless and
insignificant details, which little while ago
lie had volunteered to make 30 prominent !
Young man we are willing, If you are; but
along with them, you will have to be put aside
too. a convicted and branded calumniator,
more insignificant henceforth than any OF tne
ISLANDERS you chose to publish, and now dare
not even try to defend.
Mr.. Cornell deserves no further notice.
Honest Republicans, however. are entitled 10
refutatiOn of the new calumnles ne nus
coined. 1t is true, as he says, that Mr.. Gree
ley once said ho proposed no opposition TO the
interference of the State Commit ee; but it
is not true as he intimates, that Mr.. Greeley
ever admitted their right to Interfere
claim which Mr.. Cornell himself adj
mits to be absolutely without prece-
dent. and which Mr. Greeley has uni
formy declared to be utterly without authority.
When he said that he proposed no opposition,
ho prcfaccd it with the statement that he
assumed an earnest desire of the State Com
mittee to do right, and secure harmony, not
TO disOrganze under pretcnse of reorganiza-
ton Mr.. Decoy Bliss, ir., has lately informed
waiting world that Mr.. Greeley, unlike any other
person now living, is sometimes deceived by peo-
pie he trusts. Mr. Cornell made haste to prove
his friends statement, by furnishing deception.
Mr.. Greeley Cds grossly deceived III supp0Slng
that Mr.. Cornell or his Committee meant har-
mony or fair-dcaling. He was soon compelled
to see that they cared for nothing save, by
fair means or foul, to get into their own
hands, for tho private purposes OF their fac
tion the Republican organization of this City,
and he took prompt means to warn them that
their nteImcddlng claim had been waived,
mot admitted" But because Mr.. CornelPs
crowd OF boilers deceived the Regular Com
mittee by a flag of truce, do they expect now
that it will passively look on, while, under the
same false colors, the rebels pour hot shot into
its wOrks9
MIR. Cornell could not finish his last letter
without q new Misrepresentation. RcpcllIng
MIR. Greeley's charge that he had, for his own
purposes, called IN unusually late Convention,
he says: "Instead of an unusually late Con-
"vention,' it is to be at the usual time, rs es-
Established by the prccedcnts of the past six
years" Let us see. The Convention, this
year. is called for the eth of September. For
the ten preceding years it was called as fol-
lows:
Wednesday. Sept g. 1910. "Wednesday, Sept 20, 1855.
Wednesday, sept. ., 1863 WcGucs' ay, Sept :, lSi
Wednesday, July s. 1863. Wednesday, Sept q 1868.
Wednesday, sept 25 1861. W cdu,sday, sept. y, 1862.
Wednesday, Sept5 1868 Wednesday, Sept. IL, loGl.
If Mr.. Cornell would prefer not to have us
select the short and fitting word whereby to
characterize the misrepresentation this table
exposes, we are willing to leave each voter
in the State to describe it to his own liking.
Every one of them can see what 1t is. But
we have Mr.. COrnell's assurance that the same
state of things exists now in this City that
existed in 1866. The points of resemblance
and contrast are indeed more striking than he
knew or dared to trace. Then, as now, we were
embarrassed by the boiling of Thomas Murphy
g. Co. Then, as now, we besought and i'm
pored the Committee to give us an carly
Convention. But then we did not, now,
have Committee which cared more for
the triumph of Thomas Murphy than
it did for the triumph of the Republican
party. Then we did not, as now, have a
Committee which deliberately postponed
the State Convention in order that Thomas
Murphy and his crowd of boilers might have
time to complete their work. MIR. Chairman
Cornell. we swept the State then, in spite of
your master, Mr. Thomas Murphy's bolt. lie,
and you under his orders, have done your worst
against the Republican party now; but, though
under vastly more unfavorable circumstances,
we hope and intend, in spite of you, to WIN a
