TIE SPons-- The "IRREPsE ssBLE CosYLIor'
IN THE REPUBLICAN CANA very significant
article from the New York Tii5a0ae Including
certain extracts from the Times, we have con-
sidered sufficiently interesting to transfer to
these colnmns- 1t will thus be perceived that
while Greeley and Raymond have both been
iaboring In the vineyard Of our "rurai die
tricts" in behalf Of Lincoln, each has had
another game to play. The "little villain of
the Times taking "quadrilateralv view Of the
subject, says that the principal object of Gree
ley's electioneering tour 'seems TO have been
to look af'er the republican members of Assem-
bly,, in whose preferences for United States
Senator he takes very marked and peculiar
interest This interest, 1t appears, Ia 90 very
peculiar, that while Greeley pretends to oppose
the re election OF one Li,tleohn to the Legisls-
ture, on account Of his participation in its
lobby corrupnons of last winter, the real object
Of Greeley's course upon this matter is the de-
feat of Littlejohn because he is in favor of Mr..
Stewards reelection to the Senate.
The defence of Greeley is the indignant de-
fence Of injured innocence; but the Chicago
Convention lifted the curtain sufficiently to
show us tSlat there is, indeed, an "irrepressible
conflict" going on in the New York republican
camp between Greeley and his hackers on the
| ore side and Seward and his trainers on the
ether. Greeley has the bulk of our city re-
publicans with him, and the masses Of the
! rural districts but he is deficient in the
engineers, sappers and miners OF the lobby.
Against him are Mr.. Seward, Master Weed,
the Chevalier Webb, II. Jenkins Raymond
and Others "who know the ropes" All
these men expect to share largely In the
honors and profits Of Lincolns administration.
Greeley, with all his modesty, Is az hot on the
trail as any Of them. First, he aspires to MIR.
| Stewards place in the Senate, aud, failing in
this, he will be content, like Forney with the
! Office Of Postmaster General Raymond, on
| pinch, would consent to take Stewards place;
| Webb of course, with his Austrian outfit laid
| by 10 lavender, expects foreign mission; while
Weed Is gloa'ipg over the prospect of his fat
| pickings az the inevitable king Of the kitchen.
| All these things will depend very much in
the frs. place, on the complexion Of our new
Legislature. Ii it shall 60 with Greeley, that
philanthropic philosopher may choose between
the Senate and the Cabinet, and he may aso
regulate the share Of the spoils respectively to
be awarded TO Weed, Webb, Raymond, Little
john and company. On the other hand should
this new Legislature be against the delegate
from Oregon, apd subject to the nod of Weed,
&kere will be a terrible rumpus in the family;
for Greeley, with General Cameron and all the
Lincoln leaders at Chicago at his back, win
still be strong enough to stand his ground be-
fore 'sHonest Old Abel at Washington.
1T is very pretty quarrel as 1t stands;' but
with the election Of Lincoln there will be such
hot work between these two contesting New
York cliques for the front seats in the Senate.
the Cabinet and the kitchen, that We may rea-
sonably hope 1t will bring ont all the rascaities
| on both sides Of the last four years.
