GREELY AND SEWARD.
The ofdoe-hunting prOpensities of
the White-coated philoso pher.

A furious and relentless warfare is at pres
ent being waged between Horace Greedy and
most of the other prominent "Repubican'' lea
ders in New York. 1t will be remembered
tha. Greedy went to Chicago to bring about the
defeat of Seward and that be gave as his reason
for doing os that Mr. Seward could not be cleo
ted. The subjolned letter written by Horace six
years ag o, puts the matter in different light
and shows that the white coated philosopher
was the personal, instead Of the political, enc
my of Seward, Governed by the most mer-
cenary of motives, the lust for office, Greely
deserted his early friend, (for Seward first
brought Greedy into notice) and took sides a.
gainst him whenever there was an opportuni-
ty TO do SO. TIE quarrel raised among The
New York HRepub!cans, BY Greely's cupidi-
ty and thirst tor revenge, is very "pretty
one as IT stands'' Horace's letter is as fol-
lows

principal distribution ot.the federal patronage.
and in connection with Mr.. Weed, you made
