George N. Sanders and the Chicago Convention.

--Seward lugged Sanders into his Auburn speech in this wise:

It remains for me now only to give you the proof that although the way in which the Chicago Democracy did what had been agreed upon in their behalf at Niagara was not altogether satisfactory, yet what they actually did was accepted as a full execution of the previous compact:


"St. Catherine, C. W., September 1, 1864.
"To Hon. D. Wier, Halifax:
"Platform and Presidential nominee unsatisfactory. Vice-President and speeches satisfactory.--Tell Philmore not to oppose.


D. Wier is a Richmond accomplice at Halifax, and Philmore is understood to be the conductor of the insurgent organ in London.
