public. They will probably find that nine per-
pons out of ten win agree with us. 1t will then
be for the managers and mistresses Of female
boarding schools to put the question 10 them
selves: whether it be prudent 30 to act az to ex-
pose themselves to the bare suspicion of coinci-
ding with the organ Of infdelity? Whether
prudent father would care to entrust his dsugh-
ter to teacher On whose table he might have
reason to fear that Mr.. Greeley's criticisms on
marriage, on socialism, on amalgamation, on
abolitiopism. or attacks on the Sacrament were
to be found The moral and religious opinions
offemale teachers are matters on which parents
are wont to be exceedingly sensitive; let the
ladies above mentioned beware how through
carelessness, they allow breath of suspicion to
faint the public estimation in which they have
hitherto been held.

programme of the future poll
tical course of the elder Seward organ OF this
city, as laid down the other day by Master
Greeley, draws tears from the sympathizing
eye of Brother Thurlow Weed. Ills farewell
from Albany is brief, but frateEaal and candid,
and sorrowful too. The parting or Chang and
Eng could hardly be more painful; bus honest
Thurlow, patient Tburlow, hopeful self-denying
Thurlow. is consoled with the though. that the
ligament which has so long bound him to Greeley
may again restore them to each other in
couple of years or so. The Albany Journal
brother says of the Tribune that

This is truly an astounding revelation.
