The great point aimed at was Mr..
Stewards defeat; and in that endeavor
Mr.. Greely labored harder, and did
tenfold more, than the whole family of
Blairs, together with all the guberna.
torial candidates to whom he modestly
hands over the honors of his effective
campaign. He had special qualifoa-
tions, as we'll as special love, for the
task to which none of the others could
lay any claim.
For more than six months, through
the columns of the Tribune Mr.. Greely
has been preparing the way for this
consummation. Doubts of Mr.. Sew
ards popular strength.-insinuated
rather than openly uttered---exaggera-
tions OF local prcdjudice and animosity
against him !; hints that parties and
hostile men to him and the Republican
organization must be conciliated and
their support secured (; and new
born zeal for the naturalization of
the party, by consulting the s]avehold.
ing States in regard to the nomination
had filed the public mind with dis
trust which had already done much
to demoralizc the Republican party,
and prepare the minds of it's delegates
in convention, for the personal repre-.
sentations and appeal. by which these
agencies were followed up. Mr.. Greely
was in Chicago several days before
the convention and he devoted every
hour of the interval to the most steady
and relentless prosecution Of the main
business which took him thither..-the
defeat of Gov. Seward. He labored
personally with delegates as they ar
|rived.-commending himself always to
their confidence by professions of re.
gard and the most Jealous friendship
for Gov. Seward, but presenting de-
feat, eve'e IN Ne,o York, as the inevita-
bic result of his nomination.
Mr.. Greeley was largely indebted
to the forbearance of those upon whom
he was waging this warfare, for the
means of making it effectual. While
it was known to some of them that,
nearly six years ago.. in November,
l854---he had privately, but distinctly,
repesdiated all further political friend
ship for and alliance scith Gov. Seso-
ard, and naenuced him scith his hostiz-
ty soheneve, 1t could be made most et:
fective, for tie avoued reason that
Coz. s. had asever aided or 0tlvised
his elevasio,s to ofce..-that he had
never recognized his claim as to such
official promotion, but had tolerated
the elevation of men known to be ob.
noxious to him, and who had rendered
far less service to the party than he
had done---no use was made of his
knowledge in quarters where it would
have disarmed the deadly effect of his
pretended friendship for the man, mp.
on whom he was thus deliberately
wreaking the long boarded revenge of
a disappointed Office seeker. He was
still allowed to represent to the dele.

shire, Ohio, Indiana, and other States
to be in favor of Gov Stewards NOM
ination, that, while he he desired it up.
on the strongest Of personal and polit.
ioal friendship, he believed it. would
be fatal to the success of the cause.
Being thus stimulated by a hatred he
had secretly cherished for years.--pro.
tected by the forbearance of those
whom he assailed, and strong in the
confidence Of those upon whom he
sought to operate, it is not strange
that Mr.. Greeley's efforts should have
been crowned with success. But it is
perfectly safe to say that no other
man.--certainly no. one occupying a
position less favorable for such an as.
sault---could possibly have accomplish.

Mr.. GREELEY, over his own name,
lin the Tribune of the e5th, makes an
elaborate reply to the above. Com
mences by saying that the indictment
contains a very artful mixture of truth
and Misrepresentation, and proceeds
to analyze it and separate the conflict.

did his best to defeat SEWARD at Chi.

ond charge, he says:
It is not true-it is grossly xntruc-
