! committee wss Mr. Guthrie, of Ken
! lucky, aud, believe, Mr.. Vsllandighan
/ was the author of the resolutions. A
sN events, he sirsuulusly advocated
them, and i5 was through his exertions
they we're adopted. I am surprised that
! the Chicago Times should show such
| utter Ignorance on matters that occurred
! under its own i'm mediate notice. AS
| for Mr.. Iilden's connection with the
| matter, that is easily shown by the letter
| OF acceptance which General Mcclellan
| wrote aiter his nomination at that con-
ventiOn. That letter, while it accepted
1 the nomination thankfully, most posi-
lively repudisted he principles con-
| yeyed IN the resolutions referred to, and
that letter was advised by Mr.. Tilden.
1t was notorious at the time that the
reputation of the resolutions came
from New York advice. In 1850 Mr..
Illden wrote 3 letter to Judge Kent,
which have now ia my possession. In
that letter he pointed out how, in effect
the election of Mr.. Lincoln would re-
suit in war, and his prediction proved
true. l was Republican at that time,
but l am convinced, now, if we had
taken the counsel OF Mr.. Tildsn there
need have been no war, aud all the
questions that agitsted the country
lhi8nt nave Deeu settled by peaceful dis
cussion,I
R-Wiu the NJ 1Dg1lian question cut
any figure in the convention?
D-N0t very much, 1 think. OF
qou-se the people OF the Pacific States
want to be protected from the influx of
vieicus foreigners, ia the same way as
those on the east coast have frequently
adopted measures to return criminals
and persons Of bad character who had
been shipped from Europe to their own
homes. SO with the Chinese. OF course
the Pacific men have an objection to
being Overrun with Chinese prostitutes
snd the like, and their claims will, of
course, be heard.
