Notwithstanding the efforts that

back harmony, evidences are moi
wanting that serious differences OF
sentiment exist among the fatists.
1t will be remembered that on the
9th Of January last,a convention COM
posed of national committees, repre-
sentatives and delegates met at Wash
ington, adopted an address and called
a convention at Chicago Of the 9th OF
June next, for the purpose Of nomi-
mating presidential, candidates. Now
w have. before us the proceedings OF
q body claiming to be the Union
Greenback Labor party, that met in
St. Louis on the 4th inst, and with
out waiting for the convention about
to assemble at Chicago, selected
Stephen D. Dillaye of New Jersey,
and Col. B. j. Chambers Of Texas,
two gentlemen but little known out
side Of the organization to which
they are attached, as candidates for
president and vice-president. The
convention was quite large, was at
tended by delegates from sw~enty-eight
states, and, although a number of
editors withdrew, besides naming
candidates, it adopted a platform of
some length. 1t also sent a commit
tee to explain its views to the Chicago
Convention.
In comparing the platform pro-
claimed at st. Louis with that pro-
mulgated at Chicago, it will be found
that these two sections of the Green
back Labor party differ widely in ref
erence to several important subjects:
the most prominent being in regard
to the public debt. The Union Green
back Labor section demands that all
United States bonds shall be paid in
such money as the government has on
hand, or q issue as the same are
due or shall be by law decreed due,
while the Labor Greenbackers insist
upon the immediate calling in of all
United States bonds and payment of
them, principal and interest, in legal
tender lawful greenback paper money
Of the United States, every dollar Of
such issue of legal-tender lawful
money to be protected by the gov
eminent, as at par with other lawful
money, gold or silver coin, never to
be converted into bonds of any rate
or class. ALL which demonstrates
