II 90 happens that ihe writer OF this article was

ino,titous aad di-honoreble scheme Tor ihe Annex

tba; .be Committee finally agreed with him, iha;
the opoosition Of the Wings OF New-YorS TO the

The Editor of the Courier dare no; name any

who counseled with them, whom !; will charge

name any man who told him so.


| Another charge made by the Courier and Enqui-
-er against the Wing party In lis recent acton IS,
that the Mayoraiy Convention was packed TO
secure the nomination OF Dudley SELDES Inc
writer of this communication was elected, with Two
others. to repr sent the Wings Of one OF the Wards
Of this City in that Convention There was great
unasirnity in the Ward meeting, but no person
named Mr Selden, except rs one OF several wof'nS
c.odidates. either of whom would be acceptable.
| It is believed that the three delegates from that
Ward voted in the Convention uniformly tor three
different candidates The writer OF tins communi-
cation rots,i a gginst Jf Ssdsn on each of The three
ballots which were taken before nomination was
made by the Convention. If there had been any
appearance Of TIE Convention having been packed,
! h. would have been the first 10 deHouace II. He
was appointed BY the Chairman before personally

Mr.. Seldcn of the nomination. and urge his ac-
cep,ance Of il, He performed that duty, and was
.rati.ied by that acceptance. He was then appoint
I'd Chairman of the Committee TO prepare the Ad-
dress and Resolutions and in that Address eX-
pressed his own deliberate opinions OF Mr.. Selden :
qualifications, to which the assembled Wings OF
New-York so enthusiastically responded on Tues
day night And though originally opposed 70 Mr.
Selden's nomination, after having done all IN his
! nower TO defeat him. he is so satisfied with Mr..
Selden's public action and declarations since the
nomination, tha, he Judges him The most proper
candidate. and is now doing all in his power TO
elect him


As TO any declaration which the Editor OF the
Tribune NAV have made that be expected Mr.. Sci.
den's nomination the writer OF this knows nothing
bnt he does know that more than week before

accidental interview, Gas he dix many other per

four candidates, Tor the purpose of sscertainug Mr.
Greeley's opinions wiihou; expressing his own, The
