THE DOLNGS At CHICAGO.
10 lie Edf.er Of The n. Y. Tribrne.

To the Editor Of The " Y. TTibrne.
SIR: Much Of the hostility exhibited toward Mr..
Greeley for bis opposition to Gov. Seward at Chicago,
am satisfed results from a misunderstanding of the
position taken ard course pursued by him. Iearnest-
IL desired and unvaryDgly voted for the nomination
of Gov. Seward, believing it would lead to more
thorough discussion and clearer knowledge Of our pn
ciples than The nomination of any other man. Nor
could entertain any sell US doubts Of his election if
mated because in the pre- ent distracted state of
the Democracy had abiding faith in the Of
the party of Truth, Justice. and Humanity.
Mr.. Greeley, with majority of the delegates from
New jersey Pennsylvania, Indiara Illinois and sev
eral other States not heretofore thoroughly REPUBLICAN,
held different opinions. Many of these delegates pre-
sented their views publ y and at length to the Virgin
ia delegation and | think Gov. Seward would have
given Mr.. Greeley credit for fairness and personal re-
fpect in the speech he made TO us. Differing as we
did, ! listened to bis argument with attention, and
know be gave the preference to Mr. Bates solely for
the alleged that be believed judgment ofthose
who Represented the aforementioned States we'll
founded. and that unreasonable and absurd,
iut at present invncble, prejudice against
Gov. Seward for bis prominent advocacy
Of cur cause made him at this time less available than
lees known candidate. entertaining precisely the
same views and sentiments. He gave Gov. Seward
the full credit of being great pioneer in the cause we
all love- but thought be had, like most pioneers been
so far in advance of his time that the of the PEG
PIE in some of the less enlightened States necessary
be secured were ready sustain him, and that it
would yet require time educate these people above
the prejudices Which, in all reformatory movements,
excited against great leaders by the envy spite, and
defamation Of corrupt and wicked men interested ia
existing abuses. Everybody knows there is truth in
these general principles; and while believe theS are
not so applicable Gov Seward and the present posi-
ton of parties as TO bave endangered his election,
seems TO me we should be charitable toward those of
our Republican friends who differed from Us, especially
as they constituted maj rty of the greatest and most
enlightened Convention ever assembled In the United
States JONI C.. USDEawooD.
