GREELEYSEYMOUR IN
TRIGUE.
More of the Bargain and Sale
for the Nomination.

In our last issue we gave the material
portions of the proofs offered by the
Binghamton Republican to sustain the
charge of intrigue entered into by Ho-
ratio Seymour with Horace to bring out
the latter as the Democratic Presiden-
tial candidate. These proofs establish
state of things exceedingly damaging
to Mr.. Greeley and make clear the fact
that he was willing to intrigue to al
most any extent and with almost any
body. To secure Southern Democratic
support he was even willing to promise
pensions to rebel soldiers, and this ap-
pears to be the bond agreed upon. To
these proofs the Republican adds others,
and among the list affidavit by DR.. Ire
land, who, under oath, says: -..
''Deponent was informed, in Decem-
ber, 1871, from the statement of Car
michael, that Greeley had promised Car
michael the tone of the Tribune toould be
changed about the first of the year, 1872;
and that deponent, ON noticing, saw the
change, which statement of Carmichael
deponent can prove on competent testi-
mony of a public officer"
