Horace Greeley Awake.

Some time ago it was announced thai
Horace Greeley had failed TO attend the
meeting OF the radical national commit.
tee, which called the Philadelphia con.
vention, and that he had refused to have
his name attached to the call. Since
that time it has been industriously re-
ported that Mr.. Greeley did not refuse
to have his name appended.
To set the matter mt rest the New
York Tribune yesterday gave publicit!
to Mr.. Greelcy's notice to the committee
which is reported by telegraph, bu,
which will do TO repeat right herc-and
here it is:-
FRIEND CHANDLER:
Please do not attach my name TO thu
call for the Philadelphia convention.

pose to keep the position Of independ.
ence. If we have trustworthy assur.
snces of reform from the white house
it is all right; but l am not inclined q
help our Leets and Stockings to another
half million dollars Of plunder.
Yours, HORACE GREELEY.
To Hon. VIM. +. Chandler:
The voluntary publication Of this let.
ter by Mr.. Greeley himself, Mt this time
Is the best evidence that could be pro.
vided, going to show that Mr.. Greeley
is satisfied there will be no ASSURANCES
or REFORM FROM THE WHITE HousE,'
and that he Is disposed to lend helping
hand towards keeping the Leets and
Stockings from stealing another hall
million!
Why would he have published hit
letter 10 the committee now, which was
written months ago, had It not been tha,
the functionary of the "whitc house
had sinncd away his day Of grace?
It is an evil day for the Grant party
when Horace Greeley firmly resolves ia
make the administration responsible fol

SEYMOUR ON GREELEY.

The following is an extract from tie let
ter which Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York, is
reported to have received from Horatio
Seymour:
'Mr. Greeley's election will be a pre-
sentative step toward local neighborhood
government, and will stop the course Of
Overbearing Federalism. We can have
Democratic principles in some measure by
acceding to the great revolution in his favor
which is sweeping over the country. In
this State it is irresistible. l have not been
on personal terms with Mr.. Greeley for
some time, but there is wisdom and hearth
ness in the popular movement to support
him. l recognize in the sympathy between
himself and the voting masses an element
stronger than talent or fitness. He has the
talent and fitness to suit the temper of the
times"
The New York World denies, upon
what authority is not stated, that Gov.
Seymour has thus come out for Greeley.
