T,,aen and Dnring the War.


From the Buffalo Courier.
The following is the telegram sent by
Msnten Marble, Esq, to u delegate OF
the Illinois Democratic Convention, in
answer to request for information as to
Gov, Tildeu's course IN the National
Convention OF 1864:
"Your telegram has been shown me-
Governor rilden was not the chairman
of the platform committee ofthe Chicago
National Convention, in 1864. james
Guthrie, of Kentucky, was. Governor
Tilden opposed in committee that por-
ton of the resolution saying, "sfter tour
wears of failure to preserve the Union by
war" &c. He got it struck out, and eveR
refused TO agree to the resolution Is
amended. 1t was then irregulsrly re.
stored. Gov. Tilden at all stages refused
to agree 10 the resolution, and sent q
message by me TO Gen. Mcclellan, ao.
yis,ps him to discard it in his letter OF
scceptsnce. Gov. Tilden, moreover,
made a speech in the New York delegs-
,ion against An armistice, which was
briefly reported by me in the New YORK
World. and is correctly cited IN tne
Courier Journal l was personally pres 5
ent in the New York delegation, ana Gil
meetings of the committee in al sdJoin'
ing room"
This statement fully bears out what
We said on this subject yesterday. Gov
Tilden's record, SO far as the war Is con-
cerned, cannot be sssailed. His record
in the war upon public corruption ana
th,every is also one that his opponents
may envy or libel, but cannot match.

THEINTELlGENER LITTLE RED
RAG.

RAG.
The Lntelligencer ransscks its political
wardrobe and finally fishes out a poor
little "bloody shirt" which it freebly
waves at Governor TILDEN. 1t goes
back to the Chicago Convention of 1864
which placed the brayest and ablest oil
Union Generals, GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN,
before the American people As candi-
date for the Presidency, and discovers
that Governor TILDEN was member Of
that Convention; that he was
member of the Committee on Resolu-
tions, and that that Committee reported
among other things that "after four years
of failure to restore the Union by the ex-
pertinent OF war
immediate efforts be made for cessation
of hostiiities, with view ~ an ultimate
convention of the States, or other peace
able means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment PEACE MAY BE RE-
STORED ON THE BASIS OF THE FEDERAL
UNION OF THE STATES"
The Inteil,gencer does not state, how
ever, the fact that Mr.. TILDEN, as mem.
Der of that Committee, fought to have
that language stricken from the resolu-
ton; that he succeeded in this in the
Committee, and that it was after ward re-
stored in the Convention by the very
class of men in the Northwest who are
now fighting Mr.. TILDEN, viz: The mob
under the lead of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, Chicago Times, and the like
But even if Mr.. TILDEN, instead OF
disappearing and opposing it, had been
the author of that declsration-whst
would it amount TOT The civil war
closed nearly twelve years ago, and there
is not the remotest danger nor the least
apprehension that this generation will
see a second rebellion. We have seen
ex. Rebels, placed BY the Republican
party in the Cabinet, in first-class foreign
missions, in Executive offices of State
governments, and in the fat places of the
land, while soldiers of the Union have
been termed Confederates simply be-
cause they opposed the Administration
on political grounds.
The attempt to oppose Mr.. TILDEN on
the war question of twelve years ago
merely proves that his opponents feel
him to be invulnerable on the living
issues of the day.
With the people, Gov. TILDEN's war
upon public thieves and corrupt rings,
his reduction of the taxes Of the State OF
New York by $6,OOO,OOo, the conviction
that under his rule the country will be
rescued from the thieves and cormorants
who are eating out its life, will do more
TO command their support for him than
a whole clothes-line' full OF "bloody
shirts" such as the Inteitigencer hsunts,
will do against him.

IT Is not that men prefer Governor
TILDEN for President on personal
grounds; it is, that they know that he has
the qualities necessary for the work which
needs 10 be done, and that the public are
fully aware "f it, and have given him
their confidence.

have selected two men. Now let M say
to you, gentlemen, that two swallows do
not make summer. (Applsu e., The
party remains the same; it is corrupt in is
tendencies; and it is due to this party
and to the well intended acts of our MEN,
bers of Congress that the exposure OF
these individuals have been given 10 the
world. Reform was not o"ly commenced
in New York, but it was continued in
Congress; and while we. are per-
fectly willing to give sll the credit
to Governor Tildon that he de-
serves in that respect, let us turn our
eyes to the House OF Representatives and
say, "Well done, thou good and faithful
servants. you have rendered 8 noble
work to the party and the country, and
they will give you that reward in their
respect and admiration for your course
that you deserve" Mr.. Chairman, l
will not continue my remarks any longer,
but let me say before concluding, that we
appeal to the members of the Conven-
tion to bury their differences OF opinion;
bury their hate and their disappoint-
ments, and bury everything that their
minds entertained upon this subject. Let
them 90 home to their districts and to
their people, and say to them, those who
differed with the gentlemen who made
the nominations: They were not our
nominations; we preferred other men;
We were beaten; other gentlemen were
chosen; why should we continue to find
fault? Should we not then turn in and
do everything that We can, as it Is our
duty to do, for these caadidstes2 If this
be done, Mr.. President, there can be no
question about the result, and the
old Democratic party who founded this
government, who made the people Whist
they are, will once more be elevated TO
power. The flag which you have carried
in many fight will once more float in
triumph above your heads, (cheers), and
you will have that self-assurance that
you have an honest government and
honest administration, and that the peo
pie will be once more happy and con
tented. cloud applause.)

GALVESTON, TEXAS, March 2l.-Ncws
from Brownsville says: A dispatch re-
ceivcd to-day from Rio Grande City
states that news had been received OF n
battle at Oakaca, Mexico, in which the
Government forces were defeated with n
loss OF 1900 men and all their artillery
and wagons. No further particulars,
The news comes over the Mexican Gov
ernment's wires to Camargo and may be
considered reliable.
The revolution in this section pro-
gresses slowly. Gonzalez and Pera are
still near Matamoras, and Cabaria, with
his small force, remains in the city, but
are short of ammunition, having yesterday
requested Of Col. Potter a loan OF five
hundred pounds Of powder, which was
refused. 1t is said Cabaria has been
ordered to proceed with all his men to
Monterey to join Fucro who will leave
Celtp in charge Of the National guards,
who will doubtless pronounce in favor Of
Diaz rs soon ms the regular troops leave
and Diaz will take quiet possession. Ii
is doubtful il Cabaria will. leave for
Monterey with any part Of his forces, as
the Revolutionists have strong bodies oi
men on all the roads leading to Monterey,
we'll otlicered. The government is con-
centrating forces around Monterey. The
unpopularity Of Lordas' officers acts
makes the overthrow Of the government
party on the frontier almost certain.

The storm in New England was very
