OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
The Republican Party W. Fish and
ttsE 0rinnell.ses
lrs NEW YORK lima l6 1874

NEW York, June ls, 1870.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
There lie much dissatisfaction and grum-
bling in the Republican ranks of this State.
The party is unfortunate in having two such
leaders as Hamilton Fish and Collector
Grinnell. They are an incubus upon party
energy and progress. The first is person.
ally unpopular, and the second has not been
identified with the inner circle enough to
give him influence and experience in party
management. The Collector has the ele.
ments of popularity, and were he fifteen or
twenty years younger, he might render good
service; but his age now incapacitates him
for the active life of leader. He does a
negative injury to the party in holding a
place which, in the hands OF different
man, would give great leverage in the &C
complishment of political ends.
While the influence of the Collector is
negatively injurious to the party, that of
the Secretary of State is positively so. He
is selfish, arrogant. and unsympa-
thetic by nature, and what ID worse for the
Republican party. its rank and dle, to its
foremost leaders, know this. Since his
resurrection from political interment, he
has exhibited the other side of his charac.
ter. It was hoped by the friends Of the
cause that once in official harness, he would
offer compensation, in the way Of ability,
for the hard, ENJOYABLE traits In his charac.
ter. His short career Of plumbers and in
capacity 10 the department Of state, has
shown the futility of such hope.
M. Fish's antecedente ere not in his favor.

ribie struggle with rebellion Ind her patri-
otto sons were laying down their treasures
and their lives for her preservation, this
