TIE WEED AND GREELEr RUMPUs.--Thurlow
Weed has just given us through the Times
another chapter ofspeciications against Horace
Greeley, to which we may expect another
broadside from the man of the old white coat.
The case against Greeley a. presented BY Weed
may be thus summed up. It was not General
Mcdowell or General Patterson who lost the
battle OF the first Bull run, but it was General
Greeley. Moreover, Greeley has been seces-
sionist all the way through. ready for peace on
any terms, all the Hme-hobnobbing with
Colorado Jewett, George Sanders, Jake Thomp-
son and old Blair, and bullying President Lin
coin and Secretary Stanton worse than Jeff.
Davis. To crown his deeds of darkness, when
slavery was fairly on the hip and about to give
up the ghost, Greeley urged upon President
Lincoln the expediency Of buying OF the mas
ters with bride Of four hundred millions OF
dollars, and oil for WHAT All these extraor-
binary freaks of Greeley had for their main
object the killing off Of one faithful public SER
want. the innocent and prosecuted Thurlow
Weed.
On the other hand, according to Greeley,
Weed is political thimble rigger Of the first
water. a treacherous friend, and double deal
inr political huckster. He was renegade on
the emancipation proclamation, a traitor in the
election of Governor Seymour in 1852; he has
been the fountain head of all the lobby corrup-
tions at Albany for quarter Of century, IS
still, and will be until we can get new State
constitution expressly framed to choke him OIL
Furthermore, Weed has contrived SO to fix the
day Of the New York Democratic State Conven-
ton of this year and the Republican Convention,
as to repeat the trick of Seymour's election, II
not looked after by honest men.
Such is Weed as painted by Greeley, and
such is Greeley as painted by Weed. To draw
a fair conclusion from the testimony thus sub
,nitted on both sides, we should pronounce
Greeley fool and Weed knave-Greeley a
jackass, who gets more kicks than coppers, and
Weed sly fox, who never leaves the barnyard
without fat goose, duck or chicken. In point
of fact. however, all this fuss and fury between
Weed and Greeley about the first Bull run and
Seymo,,r's election is all stuff and nonsense.
They are simply throwing dust into each others
eyes and into the eyes Of the public, while they
are actively plotting and contemplating for
Secretary Stewards old boots. Weed wants to
work in his little man Raymond, beginning
with the United States Senate, and Greeley
wants to head him 0G, as Bolts headed Oh
Captain Tyler.
This Is the real fight between Weed and
Greeley, aud we do not care much how it ends
But why can't we have compromised Ray
mond 10 the Senate would cut quite respect
able figure, and Greeley in the Navy Depart
ment would doubtless be an Improvement upoI
old Mr.. Welles, and preferable to Forney ami
his family Of lobby retainers. The newspaper
| press has claims upon parties aud administra
| lions which cannot be overlooked; but Thurl0v
Weed, we fear, in asking for all, Is asking to-
much. We WOULD suggest y the Esnpblleal
