Carmichael's letters from Greeley and
Seymour-quite number from Gree

from Greeley, received the last Of
April, spoke of the necessity of some
Democrat going to Cincinnati in order
to secure Greeley's nomination there,
and his preference was that Carmieh-
ael should go.

CONFIRMATORY STATEMENTS.
There is good authority for stating
that Carmichael went to Mr.. Follett,
banker, in Otsego, last September, and
impaired information of his plans to
nominate Greeley for the Presidency.
Mr.. Follett told him he thought some
thing might be accomplished In that
way, and so far assisted Carmichael as
to purchase his wool crop for thi, year
and advance him the money-which
Carmichael wanted-to go to New
York and Utica to confer with Gree.
ley and Seymour.
Carmichael visited Mr.. Follett fire.
quently later in the fall to confer with
him, and always had letters from Mr.
Greeley and Seymour in his pockets.
, One or more Of the letters from Mr.
Greeley were shown as early as Octo
Der.
One Of the methods by which Gree
ley and Seymour communicates
through Carmichael was by making
him, or his making himself, sort o
distributing post Office. Letters re
ceived by Carmichael from Greeley
I were inclosed with his letters and sen
to Seymour, and those from Seymou
were In like manner sent to Greeley
In the course OF time the letters wer,
