New York had determined upon organizing ia opposition

uiion and that the failure hsmonxe and act in
al that convention the legitimate aud fore
ordained result OF that determination hat organization
had for ills basis and lis object opposition to the admins

gans in continued warfare upon the cabinet directly and
indirectly upon the President The New York Herald.

With all these facts before him. Collector Bronson en-
tered the field AZ an active and ous advocate OF that or

the chain of evidence and presents him before the coun

been previously assumed by Messrs Cooley and Brady
We do suppose that has occurred 10 any sen
sibe man that the President could for moment tolerate
such insnbordnaton MIR Bronson exhibits in his let
Ter to Mr. Guthrie. We cannot suppose for an instant
that Mr. Bronson could have calculated on retaining
his Office after such an OF nsubordina.ion He has
evidently sought the sympathy which always attaches 10
The fate OF the martyr but he should have emembsred
that sympathy in the manly bosom is alone reserved for
those who make sacrifices for their country for prn.
