Is THE NEW-YoRK WORLD A "PROSTITUTED'
JOURNALf
THE VERDICT OF IT'S PARTY ASSOCIATES.

From The Und Observer. (Ts medium Of Coz. SeymOur)
The Nelr- York World makes a spirited de-
na to the assertion that It has been sold to the Radical
managers but that the transfer to be kept secret
till after the meeting Of the Baltimore Convention We
do know how the should have arisen unless IL
is due fact that The World at the present time il
is den6uncing in violent terms day after day, the com
Ing coalition OF the Liberal elements In politics II has
suddenly proscripye the most violent OF the
proAdmnistration organs II possessed influence ITS
course would be deplorabe. As 1t possesses infu
ence its conduct simply excites contempt 1t be hon
esty opposed To the Endorsement OF Mr.. Greeley
tanly would not question its right and duty to give
preston TO that opposition But when it TO
speak of this State and of the country
and say that Greeeys nomination at Baltimore is
moral, political, and economical lmp0sslblty" we
take occasion to remind The World that does not
the sentiments OF our people here at nome, ana We de-
clare without fear OF contradiction that ninetenhs OF
cinnati platform and with the Cincinnati nominees.
From The Osrego GazetN .
The World, which was one of the earliest
and most earnest advocates OF union with the Liberal
Republicans until the Cincinnati Convention refused TO
be controlled by its dlctation IN the selection Of cand
date Is now demanding IN the same spirit OF dictatoria
insOlence with which 1t urged the selection Of Charles
Francis Adams at Cincinnati the nomination OF an nde
pendent Democratic ticket at Baltimore In advocating
this policy The World Is acting perfectly III accord
ting abroad that that journal Is not governed altogether
by dsnerested motives, but is actually working in the
interest of the Administration party which can have no
hope OF success except In failure OF the Democrats ana
Liberal Republicans to cooperate in the support OF the
same ticket.
Why VIII The World not support the Clncln-
natl ticket Because Firstly 1t was not "our nomina
Secondly: Because "Othelo's occupation is gone" IL
that ticket be adopted by the Democracy-it success
being then assured for The World has all the little ni
and OF which it can boast through the popu
lar 1t has propagated outside Of New-York CITY,
that it Is the organ of the NeWYOrk Democracy. The
World knows that Mr.. Greeley knows its utter unrea
bity aud want OF influence TOO well, ever to permit 1t
TO play that role under his administration. Hence its
hysterca at his adoption by the Democracy aud
determination 70 destroy hun, even at the cost oi four
years more Of Grant.
Thirdly: Because, even supposlng Grant should not
reward so signal service ~ position as 0rean even Oh
a street organ 10 which no one would listen.
IOThIy: Because the members OF the Liberal Reform
party have never advised with, consulted trusted
Journal which has always done harm than good to
the party whose side epoused and which has always
failed its friends in great emergencies and fired into lts
own ranks as IL did in ls63 For these reasons, doubt
less good and sufficient ITSELF The World has pract
cay gone to the enemy, and Is doing all 1t can 10
strangle the combination which alone prevent the
suicide OF the Democracy and prevent the reelection oi
We do not complain Of its opposition, for its support
only damaging but we ask that it should not hoist
ne 1ag, aud really light under another
The managers of The World are not fools
and yet under lher ead in Is t%o & EeekS Seiore the
deliberately proposed change OF candidates, the IN
evable result OF which dsorganizatiOn and defeat
II they dull not to foresee this result they
were unfit to lead; If they did foresee 1t and planned it,
they were guilty Of Infamous treachery These same
people undertake to lead the Democratic party In tue
present emergency They attempted to manipulate the
Gincnna Convention and TO procure the nomination OF
weak candidate who could be easily beaten. F0iled
i'm that they fail back Democratic Convention and
hone by manipulating that 10 defeat the great Reform
party of the country and insure the continuance or the
present corrupt and despOtc rulers IN power That they
arc paid and heavily paid for their patriotic abors
NAV easily believe, but do not know IL we DO not
assert H. But t Is evident they are playing strong
game WELDING the name aud prestige of the great
Democratic party, they use that party to deeat tse1
and 10 battle al the hopes OF the Reiormers and Liberals
OF the land they succeed IN their game, they insure
fine reflection of Grant; and with the greatest charity
MAT we can command cannot believe they are such
idiots not 10 know what tey are uOnS auu le hd'u
raj result OF their action.
