a newspaper warfare has sprung up in |
New York, between Mr. Horace Greeley
and 11r. Thurlow Weed, which is Of more !
interest to themselves than to anybody |
else, and in which, though Greeley has all |
the advantages on his side, he is likely to |
he worstcd Greeley, in the main honest,
is added by the pertinacity with which |
brazen women, who imagine that they
shave q mission" long-haired baboons,
who delude themselves with the notion
that they are philosophers because they are
lazy and dirty; and the whole tribe of pro-
fessed and professional reformers, from the
ibldinous wTetches who would reform the
institution Of matrimony so that each one
Of them may have as many wives US he
plcases, and each woman be allowed to
choose who shall be the father Of her own
children, down to the uttermost milk-sops
who scent damnation in cigar and war,
pestilcnce and famine in beefstcak, have
been sitting on him with the hope to hatch
out great man. Weed, who has forgotten
what truth and honesty are, has his i'm
pulses and inspirations in quite another set
Of folks, just as rank-smelling and disa-
greeable, but ten times norc disreputablc
than tie boobies whose second mission it
has been to blow Greeley's horn. Greeley
is unskaliul IN defence, and Weed saiWays
strong In the accusatory Lie. Greeley has
no courage, not even that which mallgnity
gives; while weed has the hardihood
Which shamelessness always conters' 9rce-
Icy has paved several streets, IN certain
nameless place With good intentions which
his coWardlce and pigg-headedncss have de-
teated; hut W eed, II We may judge by his
career, has no belief in that place at all,
hence has never had any good intentions
to throw away. Greeleyis impressed with
convictions that arc profound until they
bring him into danger; then he is always
ready, II not to compromise, to abandon
his cndcayorR and CRY quits. Weed never
had but one faith, and that is that the Re-
publican party in New York belonged to
him; and that when It ceased to DO his
bidding, he had q right to betrayit. such
being the character Of the combatants, we
fear that Greeley viii be worsted.
Ne care little Tor the qua1rcl-nothing
except as tue public is Interested IN the re-
suit, But for the pubic's sake we confess
desire That Greeley may Wtn-not, how
