REPUBLICAN, UNION IN OUR CITY.

The Sun dif1uses darkness among Its readers
as follows:

Committee sonow IL not in anger
AS the above is calculated to discourage
the Republicans of the rural districts with a
prospect of intermnable dissenSion in this
City, we deem it important to set forth the
facts which it misrepresents:
On Saturday evening last, the Hon. A. b.
Cornell called by appointment on Mr. Greeley
at the Union League Club, and held an en-
tirely amcable conference with regard to our
City organization. Directly after that confer
ence, Mr. Greeley received the following letter:
Committee ROOFS, FIFTH Avenue HoIzL.}
NEw.YoRK. Oct 7, 1871. )
Hon. HoR.or GaHuLrr. Chairman Union Rp1'"" General Com"
DIAN Sir: The State COMMITTEE. At it. meeting 81 inst adopted
the following resolution:
Resolved That Executive Committee be and they hereby
tho1d to consider and rep9S any acton TG6 sy may ae m

purpose considering this subject permit me to nns you to
meet the Executive the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Tuesday nert at Il p. Very respectfully yours,
ALosIo B. CoRsnLr Chairman
in obedience to that invitation Mr.. Greeley
called on the Republican State Executive Com
mittee at the time and place designated, and,
being asked to make suggestions looking to
the end in view, proflered these:
/. Let the State Committee direct the Chair
men of the two Republican General Commit
tees hitherto existing in this City to select each
an Inspector for each Assembly District: the
two Inspectors to agree on ali Umpire for such
district
II. Let these Inspectors and Umpire proceed
to consolidate the two Republican Assembly
District associations, by entering in new en-
rOllment the name of every Republican men,
Der of either organization-the Umpire to de-
eide upon any name wherein the two In
spectOrs shall not agree.
iii. The new enrolment shall not be closed
till after our ensuing State Election-every
lican State ticket being entitled to place on
said enrolment on proof that he so voted.
w. The new enrolment being thus perfected,
the Inspectors and Umpire of each Assembly
District shall, at such time as the State Com
mittee may direct. proceed to hold an election
for new Republican General Committee and
District Committees for the year 1872-the per-
sons duly certified as elected by majority of
said Inspectors and Umpire to be prima facie
entitled to those positions, subject to contest
as usual.
The above proposition being ratified and
enforced by the State Committee, Mr. Greeley
said he felt warranted in assuring its mem
bers that, on all questions of county or local
nominations, &C., for the State Election now
at hand, the Union Republican General Com
mittee and its adherents would follow the
direction of the State Committee, whether any
person adhering to our organization were
nominated or not. We asked only to be &C
corded an equal voice, in proportion to our
numbers, in the counsels of the party for the
future.
Some colloquial discussion followed, mainly
in the way of suggesting and considering
practical difficulties. Having done all that was
required Of him by Mr.. Cornelrs letter Of in
vitation, Mr.. Greeley took leave, neither in
"sorrown nor in "anger," but in full faith
that his proposition would, in substance if not
in form, be accepted. Of course, it has not
been rejected" since the State Committee
has not since been in session, and will not be
till Tuesday next when it will doubtless be
duly and courteOusly considered.
