A C3binct Row TIA prOSpect-Mr.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, now
a-days thorough going Republican paper.
pro ofoundly regrets Thurlow Weeds attack on
the Blairs. The Advertiser holds Mr.. Seward
responsible for the assault upon one Of his coli
leagues; and anticipates bit Of a row in conse-
quence: We qnote;
Mr.. WEED VERSUS Mr.. BLAIR.-We yester-
day gave an extract from letter addressed by
Mr.. Weed to the Evening Journal. accusing Mr..
Postmaster General Blair of hostility to Cen
era Scott and Of forming and heading faction
against him under the cry Of "On to Richmond"
We took occasion to express our regret at the
course pursued by the veteran politician OF AL
bany A further study Of the whole letter
greatly deepens that regret MIR. Weeds pub
lication betrays condt tion Of things state Of
feeling, on tie part of members Of the Cabinet
toroa'rts each othe, that will be exceedingly disc
tasteful to the country and seriously damage the
Administration, and still more directly one
member Of it. The intimacy known tQ exist
between Mr.. Secretary Seward and Mr.. Weed
will naturally p)int tolHr. Se,oard as M. Weeds
informant of the views expressed bv Mr.. Blair
and the course pursued by the Post Master
General as member Of the Cabinet. The
Secresarg Of State is thus placed before the coan-
try in the unenviable character of betrayiag the
eto " tte CN0tfGct 10 ptVCUe CLtt%eH, hti1 to
motives of his conduct in that capacity are not
likely to be very favorably regarded. 1t can
scarcely be doubted, either, that the publication
OF Mr. Weeds letter was by consent not at the
instgation, of Mr.. Secretary Seward.
| 1t Is in this view that we regret the publica'
ton as well as on the ground that such public
assault upon member Of the Cabinet should be-
made at this lunctnre. 1t is an act of impru-
dence and inexpediency that was not TO be ex-
pected from the astute and cautious conductor
OF the Albany EaUening Journal and it 10 US
unaccountable. The effect of it upon the coun-
try must be injurious. creating a tendency to
muster Mr.. Blair's friends to his support, and
possibly to make them hostile to the other
member Of the Cabinet, who, right or wrong,
they will consider the instigator OF Mr.. Weeds
attack. We cannot think that the assallants OF
Mr.. Blair will make much by this proceeding.
That gentleman may have been somewhat too
eager tor crushing out Of the rebellion, but they
will be apt to retort by revving rumors that
Mr.. Seward was for compromise, was in cores
pondence ,ohh deputies Of the rebels, toas required
by the Preddent to cease such correspondence, DC,
and the offence Of Mr. Blair will be generally
deemed the more venial of the two, and his
conduct will be leniently remembered in the
coming years of the political life Of each.
That is news. "Mr. Seward was required by
the President 20 cease correspondence with de-
puties OF the rebelsn' We never knew that be-
ore. Perhaps Seward, Harvey, Pickens, and
other rebel magnates are all mixed up togeth-
cr. We wait for further disclosures-not ex.
pecting to wait long long Rochester Union.
