GREELEY,s INTRIGUE.
ats Alleged Long Continued
bargaining with Democrats
for tho NOpinaticn--Sentis
Dient of the Press.

The Albany Eycning journal
says: There has been no doubt of
tho fact from the first. There are
many circumstances pointing to its
confirmation Before the Binghamp-
ton Republican gave any intimation
OF the evidences which had come into
its possession, it was known to gen
tlemen in Albany that Mr.. Greeley
had as long ago as last fall sought
Democratic influence for the Presi-
dency.
The Boston Adcortiser says: The
facts seem to be clear enough that
this ambitions project was carefully
worked up by trained political mana
gers from the beginning, having been
entered upon with Mr.. Greeley's full
knowledge and consent long before
he made known his intention to leave
the Republican party, and while he
still had the confidence of the coun-
try as Republican, and profited by
the confidence. There is nothing in
the correspondence itself moro re
markable than the facts which have
since transpired before the eyes of
the whole world. The object which
Mr.. Greeley had in view in the un-
derstanding with Mr. Carmichael has
succeeded at every point, beyond
even his widest dreams. It is the
attempt to conceal the humble be
ginning of the intrigue which makes
the hypocrisy of the thing.
The New Haven Register SAYS
there has not been in America case
of blacker and meaner treachery since
Benedict Arnold sold himself and his
trust for commission in the British
army.
The Jersey City Times says: "It
was this secret bargain that compel
ed him to refuse TO act with the Re
publican National Committee, on the
plea that he wished to be free to take
his own course il was this secret
compact that compelled him to say
in Union square, after his return from
Texas, that he was ready TO close ac-
counts with the Republican party /;
that he owed them nothing, and they
owed him nothing; it was this com
pact that drove Judge Selden from
the Cincinnati convention, and
brought in that incarnation of virtue,
Frank Blair From first TO last Mr..
Greeley played us false while profess
ing to be friendly, until the Cincinnati
convention forced him to come out
in his new colors. The treason of
Arnold at West Point was not more
fragrant nor Infamous; but were
prompted by greedy ambition, and
they will stand alike conspicuous in
historical infamy.
The Cincinnati Gazette says: All
this strips from Mr. Greeley the film
sy pretense that he is the candidate
of the Liberal Republicans, whom
the Democratic party have accepted
without any committal on his part.
1t shows Mr. Greeley conspiring
with the Democratic leaders, making
pledges to secure their adherence to
his scheme Of becoming the candidate
OF the Democra tic party, and going
rs the accepted candidate of the De
mocracy to Cincinnati to swindle
that convention out of its nomination
as Liberal Republican If there is
any who fancy there is n shred Of
honesty left in Horace Greeley's
character, after all this evidence of
his original conspiracy, we should
like to be informed what there is that
n man may not do and be called hon
est. Thopublic in general can per
ceive what would be the probability
of administrative reform from a Presi-
dent who seeks his nomination
through such rascality.
The Chicago Inter ocean states
that the conspiracy unearthed by the
Binghampton Rcpu5lican is no long
OF simply the assertion of public
journal, however respectable. 1t is
not only skeleton of outlines, but
plain, direct history, backed up by
letters, dates and absolutely ilrefuta-
bic facts, which fasten it upon the
man who is the candidate of the De
mocracy for the presidency. 1t asks
Does any one doubt after this that
Mr.. Greeley, elected, if at all, by
Democratic votes, will be controlled
by the Tammany ring Of the Demo
cratic party which now surrounds
him like bodyguardl There is no
danger, no disaster, no depth Of ma
tional misfortune which the Ameri-
can people may not reasonably ap-
prehend at the hands of Horace
Greeley in power, since he has been
proven guilty Of tho gravest of polt-
ical crimes.
The Chicago Post says the expos
ure of the conspiracy will drive from
MIR, Greeley the vote and fellowship
of every man who has been Repub
lican since the first gun was fired on
Sumter.
