II our party orgnniz,tion-we were griev,
ed and mortified. We Immediately wrote
TO the gentlemen, who had so kindly intro.
! luced us, now e member Of tho present
Congress, informing him Of these facts.
aud, also, another letter TO Gov. Hoffman
Of New York, then at Newport. We said,
If ,hes, arc the views and feelings OF Mr.
Belmont, i, he .ft(or the position he oaeupieS?
Should he not promptly resign and let his
post be filled by sone one moro hopeful,
earnest aud devoted? Can we sncce nj
with such n man at our heal? IL he talks
10 others MS he dill 10 MS, what chance have
we of success? This is the substance OF
what we then wrote to them and this is
what we repeat 10 tho democracy now
Can we hope 10 triumph with GOODNESS and
indifference, not to sny treachery, in our
mids, and taking the leadership OF our
party? No wonder We have lest the late
,~leciions in tho North with such q deadly
weight upon us. We give these facts now
because we think they ought TO be knoSn
