:, New YopK, September 23.-Tho
Radicals every where boast that tho
election of Grant is foregone conclu,
sion, and that, in fact, tho entire con.
test is already decided in.thcir favor.
| Without stopping to call their atten-
tlon to the Important fact, that their
leaders are SO. afraid Of the result in
October, that they l,ave adjourned
their Rump Congress to exactly those
dates, whom it may be necessary to
indulge in further extra legislation,
for the benefit Of their candidates, let
us imagine that Grant is already elect
cd President Of the United States /;
who then, do you suppose, will lie the
worst sold politicians in the country Z
Nobody but Greeley, Fcnton, Sumner
and all that class of red hot Radicals
who now work by night and work by
day to elevate to the Presidency, a
man whom they believe will give
them a large share of the public plum
dor. The truth Is Mr.. Greeley has
bccn beaten once moro by his crafty,
time-honored opponent, Mr.. Wm. IT.
Seward. I have it from undoubtcd
sources that Mr.. Seward owns General
Grant. and, to the utter disgust of tho
entire Republicans party, will be- kept
in his present position at the head of
tho Cabinet, in the event of Grants
election. This is all arranged; and no
bowling on the part of Greeley, no
scholastic dcnunciations on the part of
Sumner, no intrigucs on tho part of
| Fcnton, will prevent the rcappointr
mcnt of Mr.. Seward as Secretary Of
State. That most crafty of all poli-
/ ticians has had hitherto most Won
dorful hold on public mon, and that
same craftincss has already thrown
Grant into his clutches. Seward own
cd Lincoln, Seward owns Johnson, and
1 will own Grant when elected In
fact, as Il Presidential candidate, he
does every thing as Mr.. ,Sawagd !, ug-
gcsts, and in the Presidential chair
/ will be entirely guided by Mr.. Seward.
| Time was when the people wondered
why Mr.. johnson did not carry out
his threat to chang tho rcbels;'' and
tho secret doings of the White Houes
tellsus now that Mr.. Seward made him
come down from his high horse
People also often wondered why vi j there
was such vast difference between
Mr.. Johnson's policy and Mr.. john
sons messages. The reason is that
A. Us. policy was, and is, of the Sow
ard manufacture, while his messages
were written by MI. Black or by Rcv-
erdy johnson.
The moment Grant was nominated
! at Chicago, the powerful clique, of
/, which Mr.. Seward is tho head, held
consultation, and lineof action was
agreed upon, which has over since
been closely followed. They remain
cd on the fence until tho Democratic
i Convention adjourned, for they would
have sold out to themshad Chief Jus
tice Chase been nominated. Disap-
Ipointcd in this, however, they imme-
diatoly fixed matters so as to suit tlIe
i General Commanding the armies, an.
nounced their unaltercd determina-
tion TO stand by tho Ci,iSago platform,
| and With some sound advice on tlic
part of Mr.. Seward to the General,
tho happy family at once commenced
to operate in dilferent directions, 20
es to make sure of the spoils should hc
/ be elected. Tho first effect, was the
l erection Of the gnilloline in the New
1 York CUSTOM. House, and sevefal Dem.
ocrats and other obnoxious individuals
were dismissed. For itrmust,be remen-
