HORACE GREELEY TO ". II. SEW
ARD,

The private letter, written in 1854, by Mr..
Greeley, of the Tribune, to Hon. VIM. II
Seward, about which so much has been said
in the New York Times and New York
Courier and Enquirer, appears IN the Tribune
Of June H. Mr. Greeley said that the abuse
heaped upon him (unjustly as he thought), ,
for what lie had sald in that letter, made it
right that he should see it, (as he had no
copy, and he pledged himself to publish it
verbatim IN the Tribune, if he could have the
opportunity. His demand was felt by fair
men to be a fair one, and Mr. Seward sent
him the letter through the hands Of Mr..
Thurlow Weed Of the Albany Ere. JowHal.
We see nothing in the letter of which Mr..
Greeley need to be ashamed OF course,
written as a private letter, and reviewing
somewhat minutely, the political relations Of
the two, and other politicians of New York
for period of seventeen years, there are
things said which would not be said in a
letter intended for publication but there is
nothing unmannerly or spiteful in it, moth
Ing to justify the charge made against Mr.
Greeley that he had in it, in substance.
declared war az lust Mr.. Seward, and prom
ised to pay bin off, when fit time should
come, for alleged disregard Of the writer.
Mr.. Greeley implies that, once or twice
during the period, a public Office would
have been agreeable to him,-and certainly
be had as good a right to wish for oiho" as
anv body else. He says, too, that sundry
New York politicians, Mr.. Seward among
them, had been very willing to receive eff
cient aid from his labors TO place them in
Office, and had shown little disposition to
make any return for it,-which Is quite likely
to be true in Mr.. Greeley's case. as well as in
many others We apprehend that that sort
of ingratitude Is not confined to the State of
New York
whotho4 tho letter contains f.ir state
ment Of facts, as between him and the other
ones named in the letter, or distorted one
we do not know but taking it according to
its face. we look upon It as on the whole
credit4hle to Mr. Greeley. rather than other
wise. And as between him and those who
have so acrimoniously assailed him for it,
and charged that his efforts at Chicago to
get Mr.. Bates nominated, were based on a
special mallgnity of seventeen years growth
towards Mr.. Seward, We think that Mr..
Greeley has gained and they have lost Iy its
| publication.
