Pn,idt"i Of Me MW.Jlican Site Consentioa:
SlR,-iour letter informing me that al
the recent Republican State convention,
held at Saratoga, | was nominated for tho
Office OF Lieutenant Governor, to be voted
for by the peopleat the approaching clec'
ton in November, and that such nomina
ton was made unanimous, hls this day
becnreceived. lnccept the nomination.
Were It not for Tie misapprehension ol
some excellent men and the misrepresenta.
ton given currency 10, either through
the Ignorance OF malice OF Others,
l should add 10 the foregoing only The TX.
preston Of my higher consideration aud
atfi1 my signature. 1t il fortunate, how.
ever, that there has been some criticism,
upon the action Of the convention, and as
1t affords the opportunity to elicit the truth,
It is certain that no irrcgularity was sus.
pected in the constitution or action OF the
State Committee prior to the assembling Of
the convention. It appeared that aiterNurd
there was misunderstanding as TO the
proxies. Tho proxies were handed to the
worthy Secretary as papers always are, both
in the Committee and in the convention,
and he discovered no irregularity, nor did
the Committee know OF any, nor was any
objection made. 1t is 10 the honor
Of the Republican party that they have
denounced every where the attempt OF
miscreants to impose upon innocent com.
mitteemen and innocent supposed proxies
But il We are to ccnsnre that party for the
acts OF the unknown william one might rs
well denounce the Christian church be.
cause q deacon had been yictimixed by u
forger. While all honest men will unite
in pcorn and indignation ut the act OF the
undetected swindle they will repose still
greater faith in the party that is not fac.
tional or backward in exposing the at-
tempted fraud.
