Thurlow Weeds Opinion.

In his recent letter announcing his deter
mination to support the New York Demo
cratic Union state ticket, THURLow WEED
says:
Leading Republicans and Democrats are
now rivaIing each other in their extreme
radicalism. Gen. B. f. Butler, Democrat
who supported Breckenridge for President,
is now full neck ahead Of Mr.. Sumner in
the 1ace for President in 1868. Though
signally unfortunate in all his conflicts with
the enemy at Big Bethel and Fort Fisher
Gen. Butler presses the south now vigor-
ously and gallantly!
The men who now lead the radical crusade
against the President attempted. during
the war, to divide the north Such a
division would have destroyed both the
government and the Union. That calamity
was avcrted by the tirnmes8 and patriotism
of conservative republicans. In 1860 the
same leaders, as hostile to Mr. Lincoln as
they are to President johnson, attempted
to defeat his election by a flank movement
at Cleveland. Their call for that conven-
ton was signed by the present editor of the
AiJany E'cening Jounm. MIR. Greeley
wrote private letters to prominent Republi-
cans inviting their cooperation in scheme
to defeat Nlr. Lincoln's election.
The same leaders went to Washington last
December with the deliberate intention to
quarrel with the president, who, up to
that day and hour, had in the discharge OF
his duties, followed il the footsteps Of his
illustrious predecessor. Their dpnuncia-
tions, percecutions and SANDER have been
systematic, persistent and tiendish If
under keen sense Of injustice, he has
since erred in judgement Of temper, none
will deny the sutficiency of the provocations.
That it would have been wiser, though less
manly, to forbear, | admit. But no ma
tune, merely human, excepting, perhaps,
that of Abraham Lincoln, can patiently en-
dure wanton public indignities and con
tumcIy.
For myself, there IS nothing political in
the past that would recall All that |
uttered before and during the rebellion,
may be read with approval now. | have
viewed with equal abhorrencc the enemies
Of the government and Union, at the south,
and their systematic conlederates at the
north.
