TO Thomas Hcnshall, the Chairman OF the Demo-
crat County Central Committee. His object Is
to throw suspicion upon Mr.. Hsnshali, and weak
en- his influence with his party, so that he 1.-THE
great Bridges) can run the party to suit himself
We presume Mr.. Henshall's standing as q Demo-
crat needs no endorsement with his party in this
County; and We think it is safe to say that no
Republican ticket maker has dared to approach
him with any proposition looking to the disad-
vantage of his party. Such propositions could
come only from one possessing the sublime i'm
pudence of the editor of the Troy Bulletin. Since
this uncalled for attack upon him, we are au-
thorized by Mr.. Henshall to say that he has been
twice (if not oftener) directly approached by Mr..
Bridges, who proposed to divide the Republican
party and secure the defeat of its ticket, il he

object of of which should be to give him the
County patronage. The last time, he was more
than usually solicitous, and compl aimed Of Mr..
Henshall's stubbornness, saying that he could
manage all the Democrats but him. "My God ~

he came to him and talked Democracy, be would
be prepared to listen to his propositions; but as
long as he wanted to be Republican, and at the
same time run the Democratic party, he did not
see that he was entitled to any more favors than
the other Republican paper Bridges then be-
gan to throw mp the favors he had done the Dem
ocrsts, Che will always remind Others of any lit
tie favor he has done them, but never remen-
bers favors lie has received from them); Of his
having voted for Henshall against Bob. Tracy,
and other instances in which he had gone back
on his own party-in short, exposed his own
treachery, in order to get help to betray some
