RE: The New York Crowd
Pretty sure that the money came from Richmond. It was to be used to disrupt the 1864 election & then the 'burning of NY'. Jacob Thompson was pulling the strings on this project. Colonel Robert M. Martin, a brigade commander in Morgan's cavalry, had been detached by Secretary of War Benjamin to take an active part with the Sons of Liberty in inaugurating a revolution on the day of the presidential election, November 8th. Martin was in charge of the whole thing.
