From the Springfield Republican, 9th.
Mr.. GFealavSa New Danur,ur


MIR. Greeley's withdrawal from the Ma.
ttonal Republican Committee Is certainly
a significant fact, but as certainly 1t docs
not mean what some papers and politl.
clans infer from 1t. It no more indicates
that he will oppose General Grants cleo
ton, II nominated, than his simultaneous
withdrawal from the Craftsmanship OF the
Republican General Committee OF New
York City (Fenton) indicates that he
means to join the Conkling wing Of the
party. Together, they signify, we infer,
that he means to withdraw personally
from party politics, and take the indie.
pendent position which is only consistent
with tirst.class modern journalism. They
constitute no notification to parties, 10
caucusses, and to conventions that lie and
his paper are no longer to be held the Ger.
tain slaves of their DEGREES; that they are
hencelorth to be in u position TO exercise
an independent judgment upon party
nominations and party platforms. They
mean no more than this, VIC are sure, and
we trust no less.
This is departure which Mr.. Greeley
should have taken long ago. lie and his
paper will be doubly stronger, infinitely
more influential in consequence So long
as he consented to be one of a ring Of
ward politicians, largely made up of office
holders or office seekers-pledgcd to sub.
NIT to their DEGREES and sustain their
decisions-hc was giant bound by
withes, the creature and the victim Of
small and often corrupt men. Now that
he has asserted his own independence,
and that oil his paper, and holds their in
fuence as something to be won by reason
and by right, and not to be commanded
by jugglery or brute power, no has, we
repeat, multiplied his capacity for useful
ness, and added immeasurably to the Gle.
ments that put public officers on their
good behavior, and make sure OF party
purity and political reform.
MIR. Greeley, however, is not at all like.
ly TO wantonly leave the Republican par
ty, or oppose its more important nomina-
tons. lie would do this only in obedi-
encc TO the highest dictates to duty,
which he would feel in common with a
large proportion OF its members and
friends. When he leaves the Republican
party, and opposes It's nomination for
President, that party Is broken; that NOM
nation is dcicated,-no solely and simply
because he leaves and opposes, but be-
cause the same motives that impcl him
will impel so many thousands Of others
as 10 insnre these results. There are
