made no professions before thu
nominations, as I have uttered ne
lamentation since. It was the simple
duty Of each delegate, as it was
measurably Of each outsider to counsel
just whatever was best for the Repub
lican cause, regardless Of personal
considerations. And this is exactly
what did. When New Yorker
declared, in the open hall of the Ire.
mont House, that t'everybody admits
that Gov. Seward is the leader and
representative man of tie Republican
party," as openly responded : ssNo,
sir here is one that does not admit
it. He is one Of the leading men of our
party; but there are others as deserv-
ing as he u.s." or words to that effct.
The answer to another charge con-
tanned in Mr.. RAYMoND's letter, is so
well spiced, and so directly brings him
out in his enmity to the great Senator,
that we publish it in full:
"Mr. Raymond proceeds to state
that he had, in November, 1854, pri-
vately but distinctly, repudiated all
further political friendship for and al
lance with Gov. Seward, and men
aced him with hostility whenever it
could be made most effective; for the
|avowed reason that Gov. Seward had
never aided or advised his [my1 ele
vation to Office" etc. This is a very
grave charge, and being dated "Au
burn, Tuesday, May .22, $780," and
written by one who was there express.
ly and avowedly to condole with Gov.
is. on his defeat and denounce me as
it's author, it is impossible not to see
that Gov. Seward is its responsible
source. I therefore call on him foe
the private letter which I did write
him in November. 1854, that I may
print it verbatina in the Tribune, and
let every reader Judge how far it sus-
tains the charges which his mouth
piece bases thereon. Imaintain that
it does not sustain them; but l have
no copy of the letter, and I cannot
discuss its contents while it remains in
the hands of my adversaries, to be
used at their discretion, / leave to
others all judgment as to the unau-
thorized use which has already been
made Of this private and confidential
letter, only remarking that this is by
no means the first time it has been
employed to like purpose. I have
heard of its contents, or what pur-
ported to be their substance, being
dispensed to members of Congress
from Gov. Stewards dinner-table in
Washington; I have seen articles
based on it paraded in the columns of
such devoted champions of Gov. Sew.
ards principles and aims as the Bos-
ton Courier. 1t is fit that the N. Y.
Tsnees should follow in their footsteps {;
but ], who am thus fred on from an
ambush, demand that the letter, which
l have not seen since I sent it, shall
no longer be thus employed. Let me
have the letter--not a copy, but exact
ly what I wrote---and it shall appear
verbatine in every edition of the Tr;b.
es'ee. The public will then Judge how
far the use hitherto made of it to my
prejudice is justified by its contents.
Meantime, ! only say that, when I had
fully decided that would no longer
be devoted to Gov. Stewards personal
fortunes, it seemed due to candor and
fair dealing that should privately,
but in all frankness apprise him of the
fact. It was not possible that 1 could
in any way be pro6ted by writing that
letter; I well understood that it in
volved an abdication of all hopes of
political advancement; yet it seemed
due to my character that the letter
!should be written. OF course, I nev-
er dreamed that it could be published,
or used as it has been but no matter,
let us have the letter in print, and let
the public Judge between its writer
and his open and covert assailants. I,
at all events, ask no favor and fear no
open hostility"
We cannot CLOSE this without ap-
|pending the following spicy cores
|pondence, which explains itself,''
and the oordiality, unanimity and en-
|thusiasm which at present exist be-
tween our brethren of the Republican
persuasion. MIR. Greeley writes to a
friend who stopped the Tribune en-
closing three cent stamp. IF he
does that to all who denounce that
paper for it's unnatural conduct tow
ards Gov. Seward, he will become a
large customer Of the government.
From the N. Y. Tribune.
We have been favored with the fol-
lowing private correspondence:
AURORA, N. Y. May 10, go.
ED1roRs Observation-Disclosures: We
have taken the Tribune daily from the
morning of its first issue until now,
through all its isms.
& You ,oiN discontinue sending It to
Us. Our only regret in parting is that
we are under the necessity of losing a
three cent stamp in order to close our
account. zj1fq ~.
Wishing you a good time for few
months to come,
We are truly yours,
