Proposed Union Between Tsmusny and
IsSzart--Horc. Grssasy @Sd Htss- Bsr'
Wood.
The billing and cooiog now going oo be-
|. tween the war democracy of Tammany and the
>gsubmission to the South" faction of Mezsrl is
prodaclreScry CURIOUS and sxtyaordiosry De-
velopmenta. Tamnany has insisted that Mo
I zalt shall re-sndcrse the Albany platform or
there will be- aS5 union. The Hon. Ben. Wood
at first ragged like madman over this proposi-
| ton; but, finding that he could not drive or
frighten the Tammany men, he now takes another
dodge. and declares that the sub-commitLees
have nothing TO do with platforms, but. on tho
other hand. "they are confined TO the rnechani-
cal duties of apportioning the Offices and nomi-
mating the candidates. According, then. to
Ben. Wood, the Albany Convention bavipg
adopted n platform. which he splits upon and
repudiatcs, all the city democracy bave TO do is
to divide the spoils There was rumor yes
tcrday that Tammaay would yield 10 this
dodge, aud sell her principles for the spoils.
We do not believe that there can be any truth
IN this rumor after the professions made by
Tammany. But if that true representative of
the democracy Of this city comes to such base
use as that, she applies the weapon Of death to
herself, aud infcts wound from which she will
never recover but hereafter exc out misera-
Bile existence, despised and dishonored every
where Had not the Hon. Ben Wood aud his sub
mission to the South allies repudiated the war
platform adopted at Albany the case might have
been different But in taking tbe,course that
they have in repudiating the platform they
have placed themselves in open antagonism to
the party of the State, and have raised an issue
which no lover of his country in this city can
sbirk. If Tammany afiliates with Mozart with
out obtaining from the latter at least the en-
dorsement of the State platform, she can no
longer claim to be the representative of the de-.
mocracy in this city, much less maintain her
selfrespect. stu,l sfs.,,q, v.,,.,--.~.
One Of the most, singular developments
this effort of Tammaay and Mozart to
unite is the position taken by Satan
and Moloch-the former represented by Horc.
Greeley and the latter by the Hon. Ben. Wood.
Horc. Greeley, in accordance with the die
tates of his master, sails into Tammany right
and left for having the audacity to ask Mozart
to endorse war platform, and is doing his ut
most to force q union between them on the
spoils only This we might iutsrpret as being
three words for his owps9ssF to- one for the
other side, were it not foTsAhe fact that the
Tribune all along has been laboring for the de-
feat Of the republican candidates, and that in
the same article that Greeley belabors Tam
many he slobbers all over his own party and
covers them with filth and slime. In short.
then, Horc. Greeley, with Satan at his elbow,
in the same article that he urges Tammany II
drop her war principles and unite with Mozart
on the spoils, denounces his own party, charged
it with being corrupt, and s'that it will. here
after be difficult to raise effective barriers
against its despotic powers.'' Well may the
republicans say "save us from our friends" The

party in this State survives such usage as this
it will be . miracle indeed. Greeley warts
Tammany and Mozart to unite on the spoils,
fearing that unless they do one or two
candidates in his own party will sue

wants them to unite, we'll knowing that

maintain her position, not affiliate except upon
q strong war platform, and she will never
again be troubled with Mozart at the State
Convention nor TO answer her demands for q

PooR GREELEY AND GOVERNOR SEYnouns
SrAYr.-The Tribune had a long, labored article
yesterday in regard to the military expenses
of Governor Seymour's administration. Horc.
Greeley lie behind the times. Like the speakers
at the late Cooper Institute meeting, he seems
to be laboring under the deluson that Cover
