Mr.. GREELEY's FAULr.-Mr. Greeley
is much criticised for the part he took
in the Niagara pence negotiations, but
TINT for which he is most blamed was
mere mistake Of judgment. The fault
which justly exposes him TO ccnsure is
his tacitly allowing President LincOln's
course to be misunderstood and his
reputation TO be damaged, when the
publication of the truth would have
fully vindicatCd him. Mr.. Dana, OF
the Chicago Republican, who thorough
ly knows Mr.. Greeley and admits his
many cXcellcncies Of character, states
the cnSc fairly, thus:-
"On July 10, 1864, Mr.. Greeley receives,
and acknowledges that he receives, II
letter from Mr.. Lincoln authorizing
and requesting him 10 bring to Wash
ington any rebel agents who are author
led to treat for peace on the basis OF
preserving the Union and aboliShing
slavery. On the 18th, Mr.. Lincoln writes
his letter TO whOmit may concern re-
itcrnting those precise terms. Mcssrs.
Sanders and Thompson thercnpon MS
sail and abuse Mr.. Lincoln for setting
up nrw conditions after the negotiation
had been commenced. In this assault
Mr. Greeley joins, though he had the
documents in his hands proving til"
accusation Ia he false. An ordinary
man in Mr.. GrCulCy'S situation would
have examined those documents, to b"
sure OF the truth before writing and
publishing anything on the subject,
but he siunIbirS blindly ahead, sure Of
only his own rrringimpressiOnS. Now
at last the ihrtS are brought to the
knowledge of the world, and what do
we lIuV" from Mr.. Greeley? Is il II
candid acknowledgement of his oilcnSc
against the truth" Does he, even now,
come forward like u man and do JUS
lice 10 the president he had wrOngcd :?
Not ut all. He merely rruorn,ps That
when he buried Mr.. LincOlu'S first let
ter amid the mass of varied rubbish in
his cupaCious pockets or equally CIlpa-
ciOus hat, and did exactly the opposite
Ofwhai MIR. Lincoln had asked him to
do, he sincerely thought lie was MI the
while fulfilling the president wish. It
Is Il very curious instance Of laundering
ind Of unconscious iulsehOOd OH the
part of public man, trained by long
practice to examine carefully all papers
put into his hands, and to knew where
Of he ntllrms. We fully credit Mr..
Grcclcy's avcrmcnt, however. We have
no idea that he does not tell the truth.
But we are sorry to perceive that he
tells it .icsuiticnlly, Theoretically, and
impcrirctly, and without a frank and
manly acknowledgment of tho serious
wrong he has bccnguilty Of lie makes
