Political Personalities (5/31/1860)

New York Times archives – Times Machine ^ | 5/31/1860

[Homer_J_Simpson]

We have received a great number of communications from various parts of the country, concerning the action of Mr. GREELEY, as delegate from Oregon, at the Chicago Convention. We must decline their publication, partly because they can serve no useful public purpose, and partly because they involve a personal controversy, for which we have no taste.
