Mr.. GTeely's Presidential Candidate for
1850.

Mr.. Greedy is sharp politician, a
shrcwd manTuvcrcr, a most adroit wire
puller lie killed off Gen Scott in So
in $50 he by his management lost Ere
mont thousands Of votcs-and now we
understand that he dcsrcs to play the
undertaken to that dilapidatcd politician,
the Hon. Edward Bates, OF Missouri, and
to perform the sad duties of burying
John Hickman at the crossroads, and
driving stake through his body. Mas
sa Horace the other day when in this
city, after having in the sweetv modu-
lated tones Of Chinese love song deiv-
cred his lecture on the North west, in
which he dwelt with poetic lervor on the
crow of the plains 1--WE suppose because
it is Jlack), made the startling announce
ment to some of his friends that his can
didates for go were Edward Bates for
President aud poor John Hickman, Of
Pennsylvania, for Vice President. His
usual discretion and political wisdom are
shown in these, his present loves. AS
the candidates of Mr.. Greedy they would
no doubt receive an immense vote in the
Southern States, where that great and
good man is much beloved and respect.
ed and as the embodiment of Abolition.
ism and Repubicanism the North would
undoubtedly rally to their support e,
naasse. Bates, an old fogy of the most
antiquated species, and poor John Hick-
man, a renegade Democrat, who does
not exactly know where he stands
Bates, with principles fit for a mummy
hung olt to dry in ancient Thcbcs two
thousand years ago, and John Hickman
with no principles at all certainly a
splendid team for Greedy to harness up
in his Presidential chariot in 1860.
But seriously speaking, when we see
Mr.. Greedy, the chief minstrel in the
negro band, taking up two inferior men,
who are not of his party, merely for the
sake Of expedlency and availability, we
may well exclam at the hypocrisy Of
Republicani.m and the utter want OF
principle among its leaders Greedy
knows that an out-and-out Republican,
such as Chase, Seward, Banke, or any OF
that ilk, cannot be elected by any posi-
bilny. The defeat Of Sherman for Speak
er demonstrates that, and lie has vague
hope that, by taking up some such nom
descripts as Bates and Hickman of 70
well defined political position, the Re-
publican party may ride into power on
their shoulders. But Mr.. Greedy. like
other drowning men, catches at straws.
His own party can never be rallied ON
his present pets.
The Republicans sre very anxious to
get hold of the Government and PLUNGE
their hands into the Federal Treasure.
They have been kept out long time
and are half starving. If it were no,
that it would be rather expensive for the
U. 5. Treasury, We do not know but
what tic best thing the Democracy could
do to compass the utter destruction o.
the Abo|ition-Republican party, would
be to let the rascals get into power for
four years. 1t would be their utter ruin
But such an experiment would cost the
Government too dearly.

The problem has been solved. After a protracted

To the Editor Of The N. Y. Tribvss
SIR: have been very much pleased and benefited
by the letters in THE TRIBUNE on the Presidency. In
my mind there has been lingering preference for Col
Fremont ever since 1885, His record and his platform
are invulnerabe. He was proof against all the as
sauts of that hard struggle. No man is 80 free from
eDtanglng alliances and conflicting sentiments of for
mer yes1s. His RepubHcanism is pure, simple, una
dutersted. As matter of history and Of fact he has
accomplished than any Of his age, in this
any other country in this any other period Of the
world. His life shows him man whose great forts
is to command others. In the Executive chair, he
would make Seward Secretary of State Minister to
London. He would call around him such men
Chase, Lincoln, Fessendeu, Pennington, Bates, and
the like.
And he would thus make one of the purest and
abest Administrations this country has since the
DAYS of Madison and Clay. AS a candidate, he would
take hold Of the young men, aud the old men would
rally, relying on his judgment; while the politicians
know he ia exactly right-no more, no less than a
Republican 10 the letter, every inch, and "nothiDg
shorter not a radical to offend conservatives, but
firmly squsrely, frankly, decidedly up, not fraction
below the standard of sound progressive, consider
ate Young-America Republican. In my opinion there
is an undercurrent for Col Fremont that will coon find
expression. have felt it, and so have Others His
name is engraved the heart Of every Republican Of
1856 and the recollection tends thrill Of pleasure
through every pulse. Under the Bear Flag we can
sail on 10 victory. Col Fremont forever.

upder more favorable circumstance de gave ey.
time he was Governor of California; and all his life
gives proof of hs great ability 10 lead men, and biz
tact in reading the character Of those with whom he
comes in contact.
But there is one thing very important in candidate
and that is his power TO enthusiasm In hs party
and this s possessed in eminent degree by John C.
Fremont. There is something about the man which
calls out this feeling from his followers everywhere,
and predict that with John G. Fremont and Cassius
M. Clay the Republican party would be invinchle in
the coming campaign. II is ticket that would arouse
every Republican to the most active eXertons in the
canvass. One thing more: you Eastern people must
remember that there is a strong German element in the
Republican party all through the West and that part
