Horace Greelys Advice and
Expectations.

GApSCtatlOllS'
There exists an old feud between Weed,
recently of tie Albany Eccning Journal and
Horace Greedy of the Tribune Almost
weekly, the opposition of the veteran Edi-
tors shows itself in trenchant paragraphs in
their respective journals, and not unfrequent-
ly it takes whole columns TO vent it.
ThuFlow Weed founded the Albany Ercu-
ing Journal thirty-threc years since, and has
been connected with it until now. He was
the leading politician in New York, all thro'
the life Of the Wing party, He has had
controlling influence IN the Republican party,
though not to the extent Of that welded by
him during the palmy days of the wing par
ty. Mr.. Weed finds himself now, under the
necessity OF retiring from the Journal be-
cause he ''Gnds he can no longer act with
the party which supports the Adlnnistra-
ton in the methods it Is taking to suppress
the rebellion" The Tribune, or rather Mr.
Greedy, in noticing this change, significantly
remarks
" In other words, Mr.. Weed has ceased
to be Republican and deems that the time
il come when he should say 50 openly.
1t will be remembered by all newspaper
readers that the Democratic newspapers of
late have been quoting from the Journal ar
ticlcs conceived in deadly hostile spirit to
the party in power, and parading them as
the opinions Of a trusted Republican sheet
The old partners Ct Mr.. " eed on assuming
entire control Of the Journal very properly
give new exposition Of their creed, de
claring that they will maintain inaexibly
the principles which it has always iaculca.
TED" and will, "adhere without variation or
a shadow of turning. to all that is essential
in the creed OF the Republican party. To
this emphatic declaration the Tribune says
ave welcome The Journal therefore. as
again in full fellowship OF political faith. =
This was truthfully severe on We'd and
it proved 50 annoying that he had to return
to his old weapon, the pen. In the Journal
of few days later he attacks the Tribune
again, and others of like community of
political faith, This gives Mr. Greedy the
coveted opportunity to spread abroad his
views on the conduct of the war, views which
have been nisrepresented and perverted to n
great degree.
We have thought a small space in our
columns might be spared to for Mr.. Grcely's
opinions, and refutation Of the ram9r
that he favored Intervention. He saws =

believed the rebels would be beaten in the
campaign now opcnins-and that, being
beaten, they woull be compelled to Law
down their arms ana that F1rzrgn Inter
vention, should any take place, would be on
the side Of the Union. added that if zee
should be beaten, the Intervention would

eomplished facts. and urge that they be re

- We believe that the time will come
VIC Do not say how soon, as that must depend
on the results of conflicts vet future-when
the Great Powers of Earope will mediate
not by blows, nor by menaces, but by repre-
sentations-aGainst a continuance of the
struggle as fraitless, wastelal butchery, and
urge settlement in the interests of Humani-
ty and Commerce -
" This Mr.. Weed pronounces "deBqndinq
