TauRIow WEED ON OFFICIAL CoRRrrnoS.--
We printed yesterday comprehensive letter
from Mr.. Thurlow Weed, In which be refused to
be acandidate for United States Senator; denied
that he was endeavoring to settle the suits
against Henderson; announced that no thought
Henderson guilty and wanted him punished,
and delivered On admirable sermon against OIL
cial corruption. That he did all this In quar-
tor Of column proves him to be great man.
Indeed, after we had perused his sermon upon
corruption we could not but regret that
such beautiful sentiments were not to be
repeated in the Senate chamber. II is delightful
TO soc the old reform and indignantly condemn
the vices OF their youth; but II would be moro
delightful TO see Mr.. Thurlow Weed Illustrating
his o,xn preoops In some exalted ONCE. If we
sup orted him before on account OF his talents,
w now support him on account of his virtue.

Now that the Southern ports are really clsscA,
the vessels absolutely necessary here are u
smaller ones Of our navy, the light draught and
wieldy vessels, that can manGuvre and b use-
full In the rivers. Thus we can, without dssriy

sqnadrons the Wabash, Colorado and all sinh

still in the fierce grapple with the rsbeilioss
give convincing evidence to the outer worl4
Of our real naval power. The enFeot Of His

could look after our national. Interests pro-
perly, and there could DO no more Alasamae
