Ths President and tAs Radical Absli-
tlonlsts.

tlonasts.
We published few days ago the memoranda
OF very remarkable conversation between the
President and several representatives Of the Dor,
der States. During this conversation, while ad-
mitting the cogency of the considerations urged
upon him, the President repeatedly stated that
he must not be expected to break with the radi
calls before the right time. Obviously the Pre-
sident intended to imply by this pregnant re-
mark that he did intend to break with the radi
calls at the right time. That "right time" will
! come when Wadsworth is defeated and the great
State Of New York ranges itself alongside Of
the States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana in
| supporting the constitution and the President
against both Southern and Northern traitors
This happy consummation the President is
anxiogsly awaiting. Weknow how unwillingly
he yielded to the demands of the radicals, and
how bitterly he complained Of the tremendous
and painful pressure brought to bear upon him.
From these facts we can Judge how eagerly he
expects his deliverance from the radical tbral-
dom. The October elections have begun the
emancipation Of the President. Let the Novem-
Der elections complete it.
To this practical opposition of the President
to the mutinous and insubordinate Gen. Wads-
worth we may add the fact that Secretary Sew
ard also desires the defeat Of the radical abo-
litionists. Secretary Seward has been distin-
guished as the most able and one of the most
conservative members of the Cabinet He has
saved the country from foreign Intervention,
and has never interfered with our generals or
their plans. On the contrary, he has always
been a steadfast aud hearty friend of General
Mcclellan and the army. He has advocatedan
supported the constitutional, conservative poll
cy OF carrying on this war to the glorious con-
clusion of restoration of the Union, and has
consistently opposed the radical abolition poll
cy Of a twenty years war for the destruction Of
slavery and the annihilation of the country.
The defeat of Wadsworth is not defeat of
Secretary Seward, but triumphant vndica-
ton of his conservative views. Wadsworth is
a pet of and conspirator with Secretary Chase,
who is the deadly enemy of Secretary Seward
Secretary Chase's recent defeat in his own State
of Ohio, where the people repudiated him and his
policy by trepSndous vote, has almost over
thrown his power in the Cabinet-a power
which he obtained under false pretences aid
has used most disastrously to the country. This
lost influence he hopes to regain by electing his
plant tool, Wadsworth, in this State. To elect
Wadsworth is therefore, to elect an enemy Of
Secretary Seward and Mcclellan, and to again
give to Secretary Chase that dangerous power
which has been wrested from bis hands by the
| people of the State which he represents,
In his brilliant and sarcastic letter to the
committee Of the republican mass meeting at
.ae .ae COOPER Institute secre,a,,y Seward hints at
this state of affairs. He says that The slip g
State is now in danger from part of her crew
who have just been expelled, but who are try
ing to get on board again in order to destroy
the vessel BY this ironica simie the Secretary
of State describes the radical aboltionists, who,
having been kicked out of power by the re-
appointment of Mcclellan to command our
armies and by tie conservative victories in the
October elections, are now striving to regain the
influence they have lost, and hope by tho cleo
ton Of Wadsw7ofsn, to destroy the Uuion. secre-
tary Seward sent this Iette." to the republican
committee in order to warn them & the conss,-
Thurlow Weed and his other friends In THIS
State Secretary Seward protested against Wads-
worth's nomination The friends OF Secretary
Seward have never cordially supported tie ra-
dical abolition candidate. Thurlow Weed has
repeatedly declared that the defeat Of Wads-
worth was an accomplished fact, rs certain as
the rising of the sun. Seward men have been
heard to say that they could not join with
those supporters Of Wadsworth who were
even now schening about what they will do
against Seward as soon as Wordsworth is Gov
ernor of this State. Besides all this we know
that both Secretary Blair and Secretary Bates
are opposed to Wadsworth and the policy
which he represents. Secretary Chase and his
aids are the only Cabinet members who en-
dorse Wadsworth. Secretary Chase Is the man
who kept Mcdowell in the army to give Us two
defeats at Bull run, to interfere with McClel-
lan's plans and to prevent the capture Of Rich.
mond. Secretary Chase Is the Mephistophile
Of this war-as the Hon. John Il. Haskin calls
hm-who has sacrificed the lives and the health
of thousands OF our brave soldiers to his in
trigues against Mcclellan and in favor OF In
competent generals. Secretary Chase is the
person who has so mismanaged the Treasury
Department as to reduce the value OF the dol
lar bill in working mans pocket to about
s9venty-ave cents. IN Voting FOR Wadsworth
yoq vote for Chase.
We conclude from these facts that the Presi-
dent and all the conservative members of his
Cabinet Are decidedly opposed to Wadswortbs
election. OF course lscyv ltssv cannot be expected
to come out in favor of dcii5cras IKE sey-
p0ur; but they can and do thoroughly dislike
Wadsworth, and will be glad Of his defeat.
Those, therefore, who desire to support the
President, vindcate Secretary Seward, put
