The DlsmlSSal Of ludse Bronson.

The DismlSsal Of JUDGE Bronson.
Yesterday We gave uttersnce to the ideas tsl
to US ty Mr. Guthre letter Diminishing Greenc G. Bron-
from the eOee,oshp Of the port OF New York. But
the of character demand iurther
consideration and more extended comment that justice
may be done.
The whole New York matter ought to have been per.
mted remain local quarrel IL the plain interest
Of the democratic party that should remain. We
have done all could do to prevent and thwart the ef
of those who have abored to give il nationality In
the first number OF the Sen tHsi-that issued tho
cath of September-we stated felt no disposition
to become party the contest OF rival State organize
tious We feared the New York controversy
would assume a degree OF national Importance which
would permit US remain silent with regard to
it.
From that time to the present hour have done al
could properly do to prevent the efforts which design
ing have been making involve the great democrat
&c party and the great principles confded TO its charge
and keeping with local divisions But have failed in
our undertaking. The questions presented by the pres
ent condition of New York politics have been made
onal questions by tn" efforts and utrgues OF Ca
~ virtue and loose principles II is in this light and in
this light alone that feel that Mr. Guthrie NAV right
fully demand justice hands although justice NAV be
the last thing he would wish to face
In dischirgng the task which outward circumstances
have forced upon u.s. do mean that our posi,io,
and purposes shall misunderstood or Inisr,prsepted
We will protect ourselves from Insnterpretation by
speaking plainly and boldly. Against misrepresentation
We have no safe proection-uothing better or more Ell.
| eacous than exposure and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
which wleVer reach those whose minds poison
cd Our enemies know this well do and they have
determined topractice on that knowledge
But To rc,urnto Sheep ,he shcpetdeSses of Prov
snce were wont TO say times that have passed by To
etnIh to Mr. Guthrie and his present udcrous position
before the country, say now. Mr. Guthrie under
takes TO place false issue hciure the countryan issue
which every Of ordinary Intelligence Knows TO be
false - ue lie does not, in his letter Judge Bronson
tate the plain facts Ia plain AND unequvocal language
This error hts followers aud satellites made even si
more EAring ard offensive. Ii is that Judge
Bronson voluntarily and improperly iuerfered in the
local aiIirs OF New Urk. IL is true that the last
presidential contest involved traitors aud NAL
contents IL Is MT true that Mr. Guthrie did order
Judge bronson to appoint eesoders TO office IL is not
true that Mr. Guthrie insisted OH the dismissal of the
Ne" ORR collector because irecsoers had been appoint
| cd to office in the 'uStom-house at New York.
Mr. "uihries friends undertake. by unworthy cunning
ana dissepu'anle frevarcaton TO make it appear that
some, not All OF hese things, induced him To demand
| the dismissal OF Judge Bronson The first letter OF
ireeneC Brouson vas written Mr. Guthrie bat to
'he ire'so Managers that had posted him in the public
| prints, as one Of tie leaders and sympathzers Tha,
letter induced and caused Mr Guthrie send hs hrst
mi,s'e To New York. and the time which it was sent
and the manner aid form Of the words in which it was
couched, leave broom Tor doubt mistake. The ef
crt that Mr. Guthrie has made change the veuue-to
deny te purpose and intent Of that letter while acting
up TO pTOvcs hat he is either tool ia the hands OF
more cunning atd designing man. or is fully impressed
Sith the knowledge that he has been sejuced into great
aud greNous buIdcr which he has the upright and
straight forward manlnCss admit and make amends
for. IL requires courage confess an error to
night IN wrong cause and in short experience we
have more than once men willing face death be.
| cause they had not the spirit TO face the truth.
Why did Mr. Guthrie write To Judge Bronsoug Why
he write the third Ot October lie wrote aud he
the tire he did write to rebuke Judge Bronson
for going no the reeso organization; aud his letter
intended TO instruct the New York collector to ap-
point regular Van Buren, ireesoiers to Office. lie had
no other motive, other purpose; and plea will avail
him H. dtirnSc but plea seting forth his ignorance
stating that he know what he doing but repeating
ike parrot words that had been put into his mouth IL
IS an insult the public outrage TO popular niCli.
gencc pretend at this late day that the Treasury de
vLrment dd not mean 10 take part-an active part
in the New York politics. The friends of Mr.. Guthrie
