a GOV. PIERREpoNr.
PHILADELPHIA, June5. 5.-Gov. Pierre
pont, of West Virginia, seeded from
the delegation Of that state to the con-
vention, and in his speech declaring
preferences for Greeley said he hoped,
when selected without solicitation to
come as delegate to this convention,
that there might be still an opportunity
to save the party by the nomination of
an acceptable Presidential candidate
one who would obey the laws and re-
spect the popular viii but it is now
evident that this was hoping against
hope; that this is not meeting for de-
liberation as to the interests of the Re-
publican party or Of the country, but a
N Meeting to obey the e4acting demands
of an arrogant power Neither the ad-
monition of Cincinnati nor of Mr. Sum
ner were needed, and it is resolved to
destroy the organization to CRAFTY a
mere personal government. [ therefore
withdraw from the delegation, and give
you this timely warning to ill my
place; shall then be free to give my
| earnest support to Horace Greeley.
