Midaigha-Three Of the delegations from New
York-namely the Shupe. Blair and Joachimsen
delogations-have agreed upon plan for harmoniz-
ing their differences. The Creamer delegation is
excluded from the benefits of the compromise. The
arrangement consists in the chairman of these re-
spectve delegations striking from each Others lists
of delegates such persons they may not consider
true Nationals, or too lately members OF the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties TO be so. When this
excision is completed, the remaining delegates are
TO select three representatives of each of the Assem-
bly, districts of New-YoTk from their number to
represent the city. Probably the selection will
leave off from the complete delegation large num-
Der of true Nationals. The persons left off it is
hoped the convention will make honorary members.

MS ALLEGED TREACHERY TO THE NEW PARTY
The STORY THAT THE CHEMUNG DELEGATION
WILL TILL TO THE CONVENTIONS.
lFRON A STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE1
EINnRA. July 21.-The delegation from this
county to the Syracuse Convention is unanimously
antShupe and goes to the meetingpledged to assist
in reading the editor of The AdrOcate out of the
party Accompanying the representatives from Che
mung will be Mr.. James Wright, young lawyer OF
this city, who was graduated not long ago from the
shOemaker's bench, and who is one ofotRo principal
witnesses upon whose testimony it is expected to
convict Mr. Shupe of treacherY to the National
party 1t may be remembered that Mr.. Wrights
story was referred to in one of the ant-Shupe meet
ings in New-YOrk City few evenings ago.
As Mr.. Wright's story has never been published in
full asked HIM to repeat it to me Yesterday, and
reproduce it in this letter. presume he will tell 1t
TO the convention at Syracuse. Mr.. Wright, who IS
a very fluent talker, and who thinks himself very
learned on the subject Of finance, having, he says
read all the books on the subject he could get hold
of during the last ten months says that he met Mr.
Shupe at Albany last April, and that while there
The latter proposed fusion of the National with the
Republican party. Mir. Wright Indignantly refused
TO have ANYTHING to do with such q movement. but
he was then convinced that Mr. Shupe was not true
to the cause which he pretended to advocate.
"A few days later" continued Mr. Wright, on
the 1lth of APRIL called on Mr. Shupe, in the Office
of The Adcooate IN New-York. During our con-
versation he said, waving his hand, that great
events had happened in that room. He then said
that he had seen John Sherman, and dmed
with him; that he tShupe) was convinced
that resumption was inevitable, and that
when it came the National party would go
to pieces Mr.. Sherman had explained to hlm how
resumption would release the gold Of the country,
which is now boarded, and would give the people
all the currency they needed Mr. Shupe said that
he believed Mr.. Sherman was right; that the Sec
retary Of the Treasury was tired of the old parties
and was a true friend of the wOTkingmen; there
wos, therefore, no reason why there should be any
disagreement between the National party and the
Secretary Now, we GTeenbackers don't take much
stock in John Sherman" Continued Mr.. Wright,
'' and we believe Shupe has been bought mp by the
Republicans to betray Us. lie don't know the first
principles of the Greenback doctilne and We shall
not lct him get into the Syracuse Convention"
