oncilaby with his party respecting the proper
mode Of prosecuting tho War for the Union
in other words, he stood in deadly antagonism
to the policy inaugurated in the Presidents
Proclamation Of Freedom. The Journal there

licly to disclaim all participation in or sympa-
thy with Mr.. Weeds amazing support of Sem
ator Crittenden's so.caIed Compromise which
involved q surrender by the Republicans
of the main Distinguishing principle for which
they had ever contended. From that time Mr.
Weeds detection from the principles and
views of Republicans became more and more
decded-nearly every article from his pen
being grcedily reprinted by the anti-Republican
Journals from Maine to Minnesota with lauda-
tory comments-until at length he disembar-
rassed the party whereof he had become the
most effective antagonist by proclaimiDg its
hostility and resigning the control Of one of his
leading journals. We most heartily welcomed
the return of TIE Journal to the faith from
which it had been diverted, and commended it
once more TO Republican confidence and patron
age. in the assurance that il would no longer
be used to distract our friends md strengthen
our adyersaries. That hope has been d'sap-
pointed. through the reputation OF the pledges
on which it was founded. Mr.. Weed, after
taking formal leave OF lie Journal and the
Republican party, is permitted still to misuse
the former and assa tho latter through fire.
quent diatribes which ought to appear originally
in The albany Argas instead of being eagerly
copied into its columns and accorded prestige
they do not deserve. Mr.. Weed has chosen,
his position and his company: he goes TO
Washington bearing to the White House the
stipulations OF Horato Seymour and the Gem
trail Railroad Regency, profering vigorous
support of the War, on condition that 1t be
henceforth waged on Conservative" basis.
He has a right to speak for that school Of
politicians for he is with them aud OF them,
% he was in the Winter Of lo6O-6l, and has
been at heart ever since. To the kissing
yipers" who nominated and heartily supported
Gen. Wadswor,h be has hidden farewell: They
ask nothing at his hands, but that lie should
remain in the camp 10 which he has graviiated
and wear openly the livery Of the service IN
which he has chosen to enlist. His power To
harm the Republicans benceforth is based
on unworthy equivocatons aud tho use Of a
journal whose control he has prof-ssed to resign
because Of a radical dissent from its prime iple.
Let him but $50 to his own place and there is
no need Of further controversy.

by Gov Morgan on the heel of his arduous
labors to defeat Mayor Opdyke, and,
still protesting to be Republican,
able TO help Seymour far more in the late

that all, or nearly oil, who are called "Sew
ard men, voted for Seymour; but that many
did so, and especially those who are known
as particularly intimate with and devoted to
Mr.. Weed, is most notorious. in fact, an &C.
tive working Democrat OF this city remarked,
soon after the Election, that he had no idea
of getting more than twenty-five thousand ma.
jority for Gov. Seymour until he saw most of
those whom he knew as Seward men deposit
Seymour votes-thcn ho knew tboy were sure
of an unprecedented majority.
