Greeley for Governor of New York.

It appears from the notices on Horace Gree ley in our exchanges, that the philosopher of the Tribune still hankers for office Beaten last year when be ran for Comptroller, he sets his mark higher this time, and will probably suffer a more disastrous defeat We hope Horace secured the nomination, for we wish to sec the fun. We should not feel very bad if he should be elected Governor, nor shed many tears should he be defeated. For many years we considered the Tribune the best guide for young men, of all the newspapers of the day. Its high toned moral advice was excellent, but was ncautralized fur all practi cal purposes, when Horace lansed iY,a ls:s abyss of free love.
 One of the earliest advocates of immigra ton Co C. $. Territories, he has been ever a stumbling block in the way of those who have labOred to have our Indian difficulties settled by the strong arm of the Government, so that enigrants could peaceably inhabt those Ter ritorieS. From the first inception ot our civil war, vndicating the cause of our Government, he went in Ctnad.. io i8se; the representa- l peace, which could never have been preserved. Carrying on the war on paper, his motto fnr months was "On to Rrhmond,n ,n vet he was the author of the memorable word, Let our wayward sisters depart in peacen After ap. | plauding to the echo the declaration of Andrew Johnson that "Trnitors must and shall be punished" he could 70 to Richmond and be bondsman for Jrfr Davis. whom he had thousand times denounced as the chief of traitors
 We have curiosity to see whether the yo ters of New York really appreciate such inconsistency. or are willing to elect him un general principles, hoping that he will do better. Horace has been a laughing stock for years, for his brother editors, on account of his eccentricities of dress, and bis fearful penmanship, the latter being well taken ofI by tue following illustration in late number of the Arnador Dlsp1,eh.

 Now that he is gravely spoken of as candi- date for Governor, their joking is becoming z of a more serious character He is also likely to meet with serious opposition not entirely of political nature.
 Jim Fisk sndr Horace Greeley have run afoul of each other and the New York San lately published letter from Fisk explana- tory of the muss. Not having space for the entire letter, which would not interest our readers, We give the following extracts only to show that II. G. put bis foot in it by trying to run railroad through the columns of the TribBns.
 CoNPTRoLLER's OrFIoE, ERIE RAILWAY Co.,, NEw YoRK, August, 18th. 1870. To hs Eiuor of he Ne,o Fork San "SIR-Mr. Greeley having enlightened the public as tO what he knows about railruading. and the Erie Railway in particular, permit me to tell what know about Greeley in the ; recent rupture between us.
 Acting in the interest uf rival parties and corporations, Mr. Greeley has, for some time past, employed himself in the congenial task of slandering and abusing me and my as<oci. ates in the Erie management. Not having , tune to prosecute and punish him in tue courts of law, and he being too old 10 horsewhip. richly as he deserves if, I adopted the simple but effective plan of declaring the TrBaa, con'raband of war, and prohibiting it's sale on the lInes oi transportation under Iny control. My orders being strictly carried out, the 2 enemy suffered, as the B,ston Post happily , expressed il, "a complete ruut-horse. foot, , and agricultural implements" More than hall of the Tribune issue was returned as un. saleable, while the other remained in force. - and finding his curses thus coming home t0 $ roost, Greeley cayed. and made oyeriures of p peace, as will be seen by the following cor. rcSpOndencc"
 These predatory remarks were followed by letters from Samunl Cinct.ir pnII;-Lo. .f al
