PEDEsTAL.-We have always understood from
Governor Seymour's friends that he was a
high toned gentleman, detesting low and vulgar
associations, and exceedingly cautious as to
how he allowed bis name to be made use Of
These impressions will, we are afraid, be some
what modified by the document which we
sqbjoin. Greeley, who is fond of burrowing in
dirt has, In his rummagings, turned up this
deleotable nsorcedu which we present entire for
the amusement Of our readers

HORAiIO SEYMOUR,
AMASA J. PARKER,
WILLIAM KELLY.
This Weekly Argus, we should premise, is
sort Of New York tender to the Albany Argus,
and Il one of those sheets which, like the Pig
and Whistle Gazette or the Sunday Atlas owe
their existence to small political cliques, out
Of which they are never seen or read. II is
without news without advertisements, without
literary or political ability, and has no circula-
ton whatever. The standard Of the intelli-
gence with which it is conducted is, in short,
adapted only to such communities as those Of
the Five Points grogshops or the Pewter
Mug corner grocery. When the Albany
Regency was managed by such men as Martin
Van Buren, and Silas Wright, they scorned such
organs a. these. They conducted its affairs like
gentlemen and statesmen, and did not allow
their names to he dragged through the mire to
hrther the interests Of their greedy followers.
What regard can Governor Seymour have for
bis position, to suffer his name, In association
With the other signers, Parker and Kelly, to be
mus secretly employed in support Of such .
worthless and eharacterless little rag. b 1t .
connection in which the Governor Of New York
should permit himself to be exhibited Far
better would IL be for him to spend his time In
organising the military resources Of this great
Btsts to rspsl the invader, or to qualify himself
ebr the future exigencies Of his position by
Studying such works a. Plato's "Rspub-
~" Harrington's "Oosans" aud hschiavelli's
sPrince." The community have no need Of
journals like the Weskly Argus. People who
aks pleasure In suoh provender a. It deals In
will End it I'D noxssam IN the columns Of the
Weekly ILibsmA Those Of different TASTE and
who desiderats journal Of high character and
conducted on sound political and philosophi-
cal principles, will take the WEExLx HERALD.
Tho appreciation In which the latter ID held is
evidenced by the not that Il 10 increasing at
he rate Of about two thousand copies week,
and will consequently soon attain . circula-
uon Of from one hundred and fifty thousand
10 two hundred thousand copies. 1t 10 the or
gan Of no party or political clique, and, stand
ing on Its merits alone, needs no gubernatorial
endorsement to help II along.
