Greely and Weed.

These two bottle holders of the Repub-
lican party have been at dagser's points
ever since the Chicago Convention, and
the election Of old ABE does not seem to
have reconciled them,
TO show the feeling existing between
them, we give their respective opinions in
reference to two appointments, which is
very good index of their opinions general,
ly. In writing to the Tribune, with refer
ence to the appointment of Mr.. Marsh as
Minister to Sardinia, Greedy says:
"In nv judgment, Mr.. Marsh deems the
British Constitution as popular as human
nature can well bear and desire that
OF Italy to be more liberal. Hence, with
great respect for him. deeply regret that
more pronounced Republican was not
selected for the Italian Mission" IL. q
I. TO this the Albany Journal replies III
the following manner:
"The Republican papers of Vermont
speak in the very highest terms of the
character and principles of Mr.. Marsh, jus:
appointed Minister to Sardinia. As Yer
mont Republcanism is of the very purest
type, the editor Of the Tribune should be
satisfied with the endorsement which that
gen tleman has received from its recogni2
od expodnders."
The Tribune in speaking of the appoint
ment of Mr., Sanford, as Ministr to Belgi-
um, says;
In politics he has taken no share, and
we have not known that he WAS a Repub-
lican."
To thi, the Journal again replies in the
following style:
"The selection of Henry S. Sanford. for
Belgium, 10 in the highest degree fortu-
nate 1t is an important post. Our Rep
resentatiye at the Court can render essen.
tial services-seryices for which Mr. San
ford, by his experience, capacity, temper,
tact and vigilance (for lie possesses all
these requisites) is eminently fitted to
render"
These tokens of the Irrepressible
Conflict" are becoming more visible every
day. among the Union destroying wing OF
the Republican party. We have believed
for years, that the AbolitioniSm of Horace
Greely was the fruits of British gold, and
that thousands Of dollars have been paid
to him by British Abolitionists, in order
No promulgate Abolitionism in this coun>
try, and to extend the circulation of the
Tribune, the teachings of which have
brought a bout dissolution of our once
happy Union.

Two States, South Carolina and Florida,
are vet to adopt the new constitution,
There is little need of conjecture as to the
part they will take in ratifying and en-
dorsing the action of their brethren. The
Convention of South Carolina is now in
session, and that of Florida meets in few
days, and in week or two, therefore, the
final action Of the confederacy will be
perfected in regard to this important
matter.
/. is asserted that majority OF the
Cabinet are in favor of calling an extra
session of Congress, and that 4 proc!aina-
ton will soon be issued to this effect, al
lowing the legal time OF sixty days to IN
tervene between the date Of the procla-
nation and the assembling OF Congress.
The commercial interest Of the country
seem to demand this, in consequence OF
the conflicting interests growing ou. OF
the two tariffs now before the country.
There was qaite Il fare up at the White
Hcuse on Saturday last, between the
Pres ident, Senator Baker Of Oregon, and
\ California delegation.
1t appears that the President has Solic.
tied the counsel Of the Senator from
Oregon, in reference to the California ap-
pointments, to which they protest, and
so informed the President, in language
not very respectful to either party.
