COMMENTS on THE ABOVE BY GEN. JAMES WATSON WEBB.
From The Courier and Enquirer.
Bys,uf 70, there be any in this s';;e6lycany dear friend

him as he was fortunate rejoice ambitious
oSe Joy for his fortune honor vsiOr and death his
ambition"
Antonp-Look in this place Cassuss dagger through;
See wha. rent the envious Casca made;
Through this the well beloved Brut1s stabbed
And as he plucked his cursed steel away,

the stings of conscience and the contempt and odum

and oblivion in the hope that good men and frank
minded honorable politicians, who cease to be
gentlemen, may forget bic treason in the apparent
death of the Trsitor But Horace Greeley does not
read the INDICTMENT of his Peers; and because his
treacbery In the contest between Lincoln aud Douglas,
which defeated Lincoln and the Republican Party, was
not punished as deserved he gosts over his work ut
Chicago and sends forth howngs OF astenishmen and
dsoust that even the enemies OF Repubhcanlsm and
those who have most censured and condemned the |
principles of William III. Seward should eXecrae the
conduct of the oiper, which, warmed into life and |
