pose to be ready 10 give them something
stronger than politeness II diplomacy shall fail
to keep them at bay. In all Of these measures
we are more or less in agreement with the
radicals .......,.-ttt...
But in regard TO the close of the war we differ
with Greeley and all his faction, plumply, de-
cidedly and unalterably. Even if we do
not succeed during the next three months,
even if 'some malignant fate" thwarts
our efforts, we are not in favor Of "bowing to
our destiny and making the best attainable
peace" We know that if the President will
take our advice, and utterly abandon the
scandalous crew of devilish Marplots and in
triguants who now infest Washington, and
who have disgraced and dishonored the coun-
try, there will be no necessity Of accepting
/" the best attainable peace at the end Of
three months. We know what " malignant
fate has hitherto thwarted the best efforts of
the country, ard we call that "fate" the
damnable abolition, negro-worshipping faction.
If the President does not kick this faction out
of power we shall know where to place the
responsibility of our failures during the next
three months, as during the past two years.
that faction will be trampled under foot and
crushed out Of existence. President Lincoln
yet has 1t In his power to save the Union il he
will but there is no power able to save the
abolition faction. How the country will be
preserved If President Lincoln still refuses to
be wise, we shall not at present predict; but

the radical wretches, and they will have no
more chance Of political supremacy in d.
vided, or even a sub-divided nation, than in the
Union they have labored to destroy but which
we still hope to again see one and indivisible.
The Mission 60 Washington OF Colorado
Jewett and Poor Greeley.
Colorado Jewett and Poor Greeley have just
returned from mission to Washington. They
travelled in the same car, put up at the same
hotel, slept in the same bed, and would have
used the same comb, toothbrush and wash
basin had not poor Greeley been constitution
ally averse to the employment of either of
these articles in making his toilet. Colorado
Jewett reports to US the result of his part Of the
mission in letter which we publish this morn
ing Poor Greeley made report Of his work
in the Tribune yesterday. We are thus officially
informed that the object of their mission was to
end the war by foreign mediation. Greeley
tried to effect this object by arguing with and
debating 10 the President, whom he considers
merely as his agent since the issue Of the
emancipation proclamation, and by call
ing together in caucus the rank and
file Of the republicans in Congress,
whom he believes to be the creatures of his
will. since they owe their election to his In.
flueuce Jcwett, on the other hand, manipu-
lated the Cabinet and the diplomatic corps. His
fitness for this onerous labor be proves by pub
fishing his letters to the Emperor Napoleon and
Queen Victoria, written during his late in
dependent mission to Europe. The Emperor
the receipt of Jewetts epistle
through his secretary, and asked for more Of the
same sort The Queen-poor woman-wili
probably never know that such q great man as
Jewett has corresponded with her until she
reads about it in the HERALD. The result of the
labors of Jewett and Greeley was an
arrangement that mediation should be accepted
on the st of May next, the usual moving time,
unless the South shall sooner submit.
We are sorry TO say, however, that neither Of
these philosophers seems satisfied with the time
fixed for the mediation. Probably they think,
as we do, that the LIST of April would be more
appropriate. Although Greeley groans his
grief into the Tribune and Jewett begs the
unanimous and their purposes the same In
deed it is one Of the phenomena. of this war
that two persons of such opposite characters
and habits as Greeley and Jewctt should have
conceived such wonderful sympathy and al
lection for each other. Darby and Joan. Da-
mon and Pythas, David and Jonathan were
bitter, relentless, remorseless enemies compared
to Jewett and Greeley. The Siamese twins are
not more inseparabe. And yet, strange to
say, Jewett has some pretensions to gentleman
illness. while Greeley has none; Jewett has
splendid beard and mustache aud beautiful
head Of hair, while Greeley's hair is Of very
color, aud is full Of tangss and
cowlcks; Jewett has clean person and shirt
and nicely blacksd boots, while Greeley is no
toronsly as unciean in body as in mind; Jewett
IS opposed to abolition and the emancipation
proclamation, while Greeley has made the
negro his god and Wendell Phillips his
prophet. In short, it would be i'm
possible to find two men more dissimilar;
and yet they cordially and heartily agree upon
two subiects-mediation and Colorado this
makes them steadfast friends II
seems that Jewets OWES several mountains Of
gold quartz in Colorado Territory, as be hints
in bis letter, and that Greeley has little hill
Of the same precious metal in the same Eldora-
DO With a patriotism which we admire, but
cannot sufficiently praise, Jewett intends to
give five or six Of these gold mountains to the
government TO pay of the national debt. He
also offers rs one Of the mountains say,
eight or ten millions Of dollars--if We. will as
