The Triangular Black Republican Fight

Inc three most influential papers in thu
Black Republican interest in the city of New
FORK, the Tribune, the Times and the Couri
er d Enquirer, have been engaged in delec.
table quarrel since the nomination of Mr. Lin
coin. Greeley, the editor of the former o
these papers, Is accused of having defeated
the nomination of Mr.. Seward, through his
personal and party influence. Several rich
| developments have been made as regards his
antecedenls, which show that while he was
processing his devotion to the cause of Black
Kepubll'anism, pure and simple, he had an
eye to the loaves and fishes A letter he
wrote to Nj. Seward in November, 1854, in
which he threatened the latter, that unless he
received certain rewards for his personal de-
yotion to that gentleman he would renounce
fellowship with aim. Il4is feste1, Mr. esfee-
ley says, was marked private and he dared its
publication, not having preserved a copy. Mr..
Raymond, of the Times, had seen the letter,
and instead of its being private. pronounces it
"a bold, defiant and Threatening communica-
tion''
He complained in that letter that his (Gree-
ley's) party services had not been rewarded
by appointments which he coveted; that Gov.
Seward had not even urged his selection for
a particular positisn which had large pecunia-
ry emoluments attached to ii; that he had
been run for Congress only to pave the way
for the election of James Brooks; that he had
been refused in advance the nomination for
Governor; that his application for the post of
Lieutenant Governor had not only been re-
jected, but rejected in favor Of one for whom
he was known to cherish special and pecu-
liar aversion, and these repeated failures to OBJ
tain office were charged by Mr.. Greeley upon
Gov. Seward, and they were the motives up
on which that philosophical and disintercsted
public instructor had '.fally decided that he
,oould no longer be decotel to Coz. Sewu,Ps

THE OXFORD INTELLIGEScER.-This is the
title Of a new paper publishedat Oxford, in this
State, by Howard Falconer, Esq, and Judging
from its first issue it will proye shining light
in the Democratic horizon. Mr. f. was rails
ed in this State, and we understand, is
graduate Of our University; young gentle
man of talents and highly respected in the
community where he resides We extract
the following paragraph from his salutatory:
In politics, We belong to the Democratic
party; and as far as we can consistently with
the interests Of the country and of the slave
holding States especially, we intend to strive
for the unity and success Of that party But
when our rights are jeopardized, and domi-
neerlng majority, refusing to recognize the
great doctrine of equality of rights in the
common territory, and making principles Sec
ondary to individuals, would exclude half the
States from their birth-right, and seal against
them forever the blossoming fields won by
their arms and consecrated BY their blood, our
allegiance to party will be thrown aside, and
we shall gird on our armoFto defend the right
and do battle for the sunny land which gave
us birth, to stand with her or to fall with her.
The great doctrines of State Rights as set
forth by Calhoun, will be the chart of our
course; Truth will be ourpoIar star. Young
as we are, we do not presume to think we can
make ourself the leader Of older and wiser
men. But we intend to drink often from that
fountain OF wisdom recorded in the works of
the fathers of the Republic and of the Consti-
tuition. If we are but faithful expounlers of
those recorls, our amhItlek.Eill be satisfied.
