THURIow WEED DELIVERS ANOTHER OPINION

THURLow WEED DELIVERS ANOTHER OPNroN--
VOICE FROM THE ToMBs-The columns of the
Albany Ereaing Journal contain another long
winded letter from Thurlow Weed, giving his
opinion on the Presidential canvass. He seems
to think that his opinion is Of as much import
ance as that Of Chief Justice Taney when he
was alive. He takes as much pains in paradipg
it as though he considered the people OF the
whole country as completely under his thumb
as the Albany lobby was few years since,
before he encountered Vanderbilt on Harlem
shorts Just as though anybody cared fg
about Thurlow Weeds opinion. 1t is Of no
earthly account. All that he has said in his
last decree is borrowed from other people.
His egotism has overcome him. Every opinion
that he has delivered in the last two years has
been repudiated by events. He is not half as
reliable as the spirits Of the two sisters. Weed,
Amos Kendall, Old Blair, General Came
ron, General John Cochrane and Chevalier
Forney every now and then rise up from their
tombs and give their opinion OF events here
just as though what they said was of the least
Importance. Unfortunately for them they are
on the wrong side OF the tomb, and too near the
internal regions to obtain correct idea Of any
thing. The beet thing that these old fogies,
Weed, Old Blair, Amos Kendall, General
Cameron, General Cochrane and Forney, can
now do Is to get together and resolve them
selves into spiritual circle and try 10 get
some reliable information from the spirit land.
They are completely played out here, and for
the cake Of their own regulations had better
keep their mouths shut until they can End favor
with more reliable spirits than they have yet
found In the tombs where they have long since
bees laid BY public opinion.

The SLAVERY QUESTION IN M,gYLANp--It is
now very doubtful whether the expectations
SO confidently entertained that the people Of
Maryland would adopt the new constitution,
with the abolition Of slavery, have been rsa-
lized. II is very probable that they do not
desire this change in their local institutions 10
bs brought about in this way, but prefer that
it should be done by legislativs'enactment. In
fact, IL might be wise TO abandon the idea of
emancipation By direct appeal to the people.
not only in Maryland, but in oil the border
States, and allow IL to be accomplished by the
several Legislatures a. an industrial or en-
economical measure. This would have been
done long ago IN many OF these States were II
not for the interference Of the sbolitis snists.
The sovereign right to abolish the institution Of
slavery belongs 70 the Legislatures of oil the
Statcs--Georgia as well a. Maryland or Ken
tucky-just as the right to re-estabiish 70 exists
in the Legislature Of New York. Az question
of economy, ono affecting the industrial In

Cry CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS II A MUDDLE.-
There is universal dissatisfaction about the
nominations for Congress in this city. The
nominations are in great degree regarded in
all parts of the country as indicating the policy
Of the parties in the canvass. The fact, how
ever. is that the nominations in almost every
Congressional district are in decided muddie,
and the reverse Of what the democratic party
desire to do bids fair to be accomplished at the
polls There are numerous candidates in the
field in every district with fair prospect of
their increasing to an indefinite number Some
of them are put up to be withdrawn, others to be
bought off, and still others for the sole purpose
Of having them defeated and the conceit taken
out OF them 1t is in fact so mixed up that it
is hard to tell which is which or what is what.
Ben Wood has for some time past been in bad
way about his pet district, which he desires to
prevent from having any voice in Congress,
like the seeded States. For this purpose he
has been furnished with Southern lottery grants
and policies. with which il is boasted that he
can perpetualy buy up the district and its con-
vention. In the present muddle of affairs
there we think that this is the best thing that
he can do.
In each Of the adjoining districts we have
had candidate for every day in the week. As
to Brooks district, it is as badly mixed as
the trial Of the Ecening Erpress case in the
courts shows up that concern, in its accounts
without books, its management without head,
and it's dubious, inexplicable muddle in every
way. The Brooks partnership in small news
papers, secesh politics and Peter Funk stock
speculations have made money enough to COM
pete with Ben Wood in like speculations in the
Eighth district. In the upper district Herrick
has received the Tainmany nomination and
Fernando Wood the fag end Of Mozart, which
amounts to nothing. The only practical way
to settle the difficulty in this district is for
Woods friends to see Herrick's friends, and
harmonic BY sn agreement to pay zone hun
drsd dollars" vote during the two years OF
Congress, 80 that the honors and the profits
may be properly divided, this price being the
rate established in similar cases by the criminal
records in this city.

ber A triumphant success" Is equivalent TO
! . successful triumph, from which Mr.. Belmont
doubtless means that If there has been repub-
lican triumph in Pennsylvania it is not sue
cessful One In the next place, to ratify his
triumphant success" Mr. Belmont orders
democratic salutes in our public squares to-
morrow. and illuminations in the evening, by
the various democratic organizations at their
respective headquarters" We do not exactly
like this phrase Of "giving security to our ex-
pectations." 1t Is little muddy; but, as in
the German 1t is all right, we think that every
reasonable person ought to be satisfied with
Mr.. Bemont's triumphant success"
But what says Mr.. Raymond? He is not
millionaire; he cannot roll round in his coach
and four at Chicago, paying all the expenses of
great national party convention. His con-
tingent party expenses have to be levied by
raids like those Of Mosby, with this difference:
that while Mosby has to fight for what he gets
in the rear of Sheridan's army, Raymond walks
into the Post Office and Custom House and
collects his bills like one having authority.
But Mr.. Raymond, if not as rich as Jew, is
responsible man. although Greeley has written
him down as "the little villain" What, then,
says Mr.. Raymond in lis official capacity as
Chairman Of the National Union Committees
He says-(the game of brag)-that in Penn
sylvania the Union men have elected sixteen
out Of twenty-four members of Congress and
carried the State by q popular majority OF
not less than fifteen thousand; that in Ohio
they have elected sixteen out OF nineteen
members of Congress, with an aggregate ma
jority Of mot less than eighty thousand" and
that in Indiana they have reelected Governor
Morton by fifteen thousand majority and gained
three members of Congress. Mr. Raymond
spreads himself like regular "war eagle"
but while he thinks that his partisans can carry
every loyal State for Mr.. Lincoln he warns
them to "take care that the very splendor of
these victories does not betray you into fatal
inactivity" Mr.. Raymond is jubilant; but
still the ''splendor Of these victories" does not
give absolute security to his expectations"
We leave the intelligent reader to make up
his own judgment from the official bulletins Of
Mr.. Belmont aud Mr.. Raymond. How can we
decide when such doctors disagrees The only
Seate' nO"c'ct, IN uiSputo DctWecn tuein iS
Pennsylvania, and for the actual result there
we must await the official returns. The demo-
Gratis in the old Keystone, under the standard
OF Mcclellan, have made splendid 6ght and
had be Lot been encumbered with the peace her
estes Of the Chicago Convention, in spite Of his
patriotic reputation Of them, and saddled, to
boot. with that living embodiment of peace at
anyprce, Pendleton he would have lifted the
democracy firmly OF their feet, even in the
West As he stands he has heavy load to
carry and uphill work before him; but we
know not what events and what political
changes may take place, even in the short
interval to the sth of November. That is the
day on which the Presidential Issue will be
determined.
