BsB- The letter written in 1854 by Horace
Greeley to W. H. Seward, " "dissolving the
partnership" between them, has been pub
lished. Greeley, after all the hard work
he had done for the Albany politicians, had
been very shabbily treated, bnt acted rather
indiscreelly III giving way to his feelings
and writing a letter which might, in the
fluctuations of politics, be made public.
Seward betrayed confidence in mentioning
the letter in such way that its contents
might leak out On the whole, Greeley
will suffer less than Seward in the affair.
The former merely suffered his sensibiity
to get the better of his discretion, while the
latter, in the first place. was ungrateful to
his friend and afterwards disclosed Indirect
ly the contents of a private letter, which
should have been kept sacred

DOUGLAS TO BE SLAUGHTERED. The lat
Douglas cannot succeed at Baltimore. His
friends may get desperate and, after resolv-
ing to keep out the Seceders, nominate by
a majority but if they do, +" look out for
hard squalls 1t is more likely that Doug
las, seeing that he can't be ominated, will
make the best bargain he can and decline.
Some compromise candidate will probably
be nominated. If we were to guess the
lucky (Or unlucky) man now, We should
probably say John C. Breckenridge.

Bs5 Six lives of Abe Lincoln are said to
be in course of publication by Boston pub
fishers. Others will follow, we suppose, as
materials are collected and Abe may vet
rival the most ancient of the feline tribe,
by having nine lives. Abes residence in
Spencer county, Ind, was not known to the
publishers until it was too late to get III the
Indiana chapter. Abe split rails in Spencer
there is no doubt of this. Perry has a slight
claim which should not be overlooked in
the seventh life. Abe kept the Ferry at the
mouth of Anderson Greek, aud his big feet
must necessarily have pressed the mud on
the Perry side of that mighty branch. We
learn that Green Taylor has Abe's Old Ferry
Book. Young Abe, on Anderson, learned
the art of padding his own canoe, which
may be of service to him in his old age in
making the trip up Salt River this fall.

BALTIMORE, June 2Oth.-Me5srs. Avery
Of n. c., and Salisbury of Del, and other
Southern delegates, waited on Mr.. Dean
Richmond OF the \. Y. delegation to-day,
with proposition to admit all the seeding
delegates with the understanding that no
candidate be nominated that was balloted
for at Charleston. This would exclude
Messrs. Douglas, Hunter, Dickinson, Lane
and Guthrie. 1t was not probable that the
proposition would be accepted.
There is no foundation for the report th at
the Douglas delegates made any threats of
withdrawing from the convention under any
circumstances. 1t is thought that the de-
lay of the Committee is designed to en-
barrasS the seeding delegations, who have
to meet tomorrow, in convention at Rich
mOnd, in rebellion against the Democratic
organization, whilst seeking admission into
