The dowsfisil of Wat. B. **mE* "If *•*»
M-bjb. Wo bad Bat snaaaoaed that Mr. «Bw»
abi> waa entlOed ta taa"bs*a»s-aT STBtaswad,
bat tbat he was ass meat adroit poliuclan of
tbe day was a fact conceded by everybody:
that he was the atoet subtle, tortuoas aaaftuu
serapulouaof demagogues, no one, not of his
crura party, pretended to doubt or deny. He
had about him none of tbe creative qualities
of the a talesman, nous of the oa pearly of con
st racUa* ao comprehensiveness. The genius
«f tbe early fathers of the Republic called
Into being a great nation, and that of their
successor* developed, invigorated and eularged
it, but Seward had no ability of thia kind.
His talent was for andeimining that which
others had erected at great pains and cost
he elevated himself by pulling down that
which others had built ap. He wmssied po
litisal strife, aecUonal convulsions and civil
war, for the purpose of becoming President.
The nearer tbe conmry seemed to destruction,
tbe more promising were the prospects of this
political Ivy, which was risiug upon the rates
of the Republic aud growing greeu upon its
decay. We had supposed tbat the success of
this man waa inevitable. He had met no
check in his upward career. He had con
quered the great Stele Oaf New York, aid
chained i*» gallant and cblvalrlc metropolis a
captive at hi= triumphal car. He was so pro
foundly calm nadenuuing; he moved with
such self-possessed faculties, snch wonderful
intelligence, nnd such a stealthy and elastic
m*P towards his prey, that we did not gee hew
it was possible foritio escape. As if to double
his chances of success, be bad the aid ef the
most sagacious, experienced and energetic
jackal that ever traveled in couples wiib a
political tiou. We suppose that uo political
editor or manager in the United States ever pre
tended to equal Tut'ELow Weed iv craft, tact
and nnscrupnlousuess. Moreover, as migui.
reasonably be expected, tbe "sinews of war"
bad not been neglected in preparing for the
final struggle. Ii is said that, through black
mailing and other nice municipal job«, the
Regency, of which Weep is head, had come
into possession of an election fund of abiut
two millions of dollars. Seward had just
COS&e heme from England, where he had been
feasted aud to—'ted as the future President of
the United States by the eburtlj aud long- j
headed statet-men of Great Britain, who
chuckled inwardly at tbe approaching con
summation of their frche-.ies for tbe disrnp- i
tiou of the Union. When such a pair as Sstw-
AKn and Weed combine lor auy polLical
game, we have ai ways coucluded that the game
wet like the coon when he saw Capt. Scott—
might as well immediately ccme down. We
bad scarcely supposed there could be any se
rious opposition to Seward at Chicago. But
the best laid plans are often unexpectedly de
im ed, and sometimes by agencies that have
been despised. When the fable represents a
mouse as able to render substantial service to
a lion, it inculcates a truth which Seward.
With all his cuuiii>-*% strangely overlooked in
bis treatment of Houaoe Greeley. This il
lustrious personage of ihe white hat is con- j
sidered by some of his party to be so guileless, j
inoffensive and ignorant of tbe world, that he '
can be trampled upon with impuni'.v. But ,
Greeley has shown that he cau bite tbe fie»l
that treads on him, and that there Is venom
enough in bis compoeition, when scientifically
condensed aud energetically ejected, to annihi
late the king of beasts.
The New York correspondent of tbe Rich
mond Enquirer gives us tbe philosophy of the
course of Greeley, who is personally as pla
cid and harmless aaa lamb; but politically as i
remorseless and unmerciful aa a tiger. Mr. I
Greeley, according to the correspondent, J
desired some years ago, to be Lieutenant Gov
ernor, an office which he was quite aa capable
of filling with efficiency as Mr. Raymond, of
the Times, to whom the Seward regency
in Albany gave it instead of Greeley.—
Again, the year before last, Greeley strenu
ously songht the nomination for the Gover
norship of the State, but Seward, Weed A
Co. were again deaf to his appeals and blind
to bia claims, and nominated E. D. Morgan.
Soon after, Greeley made a Western tour;
be wrote interesting letters to his paper, and,
at various points, delivered lectures; but he
did nut neglect the opportunities furnished by
this extensive intercourse with the people, to
pay off his political debts to Messrs. Weed,
Seward A Co. He wandered to the distant
wilds of Oregon, and, upon the shores of tbat
unpromising region, be picked up the smooth
stones which have just hit Goliah in the
forehead and made him bite the dust-
He returned from Oregon with the five
votes of that State in his breeches pocket,
which, if given at tbe first ballot in Chi
cago for Seward, wonld probably have
secured hie nomination. But be returned to
unfurl the flag of Bates in the Tribune, and
to fight against Seward to tbe bitter end at
Chicago. To the utter astonishment of Weed,
Webb A Co., and to the intense and unuttera
ble mortification of Seward, who is said to
be the moat disappointed man to-day in the
United States, tbe vindictive philosopher of
the TVtiua* proved victorious over the deepest
plots, the ehoicoet wiaea, and ihe largeat elec
tioneering fund ever brought to bear upon a
patriotic Convention. The reeult ia, that
Seh-ard, fresh aa a nosegay from the per
fussed precincts of British aristocracy, is
thrown under foot by the rough backwoods -
man of the West, and a flat boatman, a maul
er of rails, aud, worse than all, a man sus
pected of being " honest," is selected in his
stead.
HITe dare say there is little to choose between
the uitraism of Seward aad that of Lincoln.
In point ot fact, tbe latter is said to be tbe
father of the "irrepressible conflict" which
Seward, in an evil hour appropriated and
vaunted as his own. If elected, Seward
might have kicked over the ladder by which
bo rose to power, and administered tbe gov
ernment on national principles. "Libcolb is
au uneducated man, possibly more honest, but
alao more violent in his anti-slavery language
than Seward, lesa cool, cautious and circum
spect, and therefore wore likely to adhere to
his principles if elect* d, aud to be rash and
imprudent iv carrying tbem out. These cha
racteristics, however, ranst deprive him of the
public confidence and d.muiish tbe chances of
bis election, which, owing to ihe obscurity of
his lite, aud bis utter want of political pre*.
tig*, are not very brilliant. We may, there
fore, r,joice with unmiugled joy at tbe le»s >v
to "vaulting ambition which baa juai beea
administered at Chicago. Tbe country is not
yet so deed to the impulses <»f patriotism, of
memory and of hope, as to be lit prey for the
political vultures, who, patient aa they are
persistent in their hunger, have long hov
ered in the heighta ef our nrmsmsut, waiting
an opportunity to descend, and gorge their
ravenous maws with tbs dismembered lira be
and Useless carcass of the Republic.

vigor aad btoom of mauiy maturity." Most
maa would rather be twehty-flve any time;
but, fifty and a prospect for the Presidency,
may possibly make an old stager fresh aad
vigorous. There is Lord Lybdhtrst, who
lately made a line speech in the House of
Lords, and is eighty-eight, whilst Palmer*,
ton, at seventy-live, is the backbone of tho
House of Commons. It la said tbat on the
supply nights, when most of the members are
away, he continue* steadfast at his poet, and
is as full of animal spirits, as disdainful of
> crutch on hand and spectacle on nose, as elas
tic of mind as at any time within tbe last
half century. The flne old fellow te said to
cherish still a troiy English admiration of tbe
"manly art of self-defence," which he evinced
lately by subscribing " live sovereigns for that
splendid little fellow, Saybbs."
But, in this country, perhaps because the
climate is not favorable to longevity, or be
cause we live too last, and do not sufficiently
observe the laws of health, or because our offi
cials fail to encourage the physical develop
ment of tbe people by making up purses for
prije-Jighters, we have not many such vigor

Bad the British nobles in general, among our
public men. The plaiu aud simple fact in re

he looks quite as old as any Ame.lran juvenile
of his years, wifh tbe single exception, per
haps, of Greeley, who had a venerable aspect
when he was au infant at the breast, and to
whim, no doubt, all other men, Metri'Se
i..*ti included, appear mere iulai. is.
Tbe British Navy.
Tbe Parliament of Great Britain continues
to betray a laudable vigilance in respect to
the condition of the naval police which pro
tects tbe island from its faithful ally acro&s
the channel. Lord Lym>ui rp r lately made a i
speech iv the House of Lords on the subject,
winch tills two and a half closely printed i
columns of the daily whicn evinced
powers very seldom possessed at the age of |
eighty-eight. The venerable uobl man made
inquiry of the Government respect iug the
present condition of the British navy, and
particularly with regard to the supply of sea
men, marines, Ac. The Duke of Somerset
said, in reply :
•' That the Hritish navy consisted at present of
fifty sinp» of the line afloat, and thirty-seven
I i<ates, exclusive <>l blocs ships The number of
corvettes win sevente... and tue-e, with sl.-us,

be added one hundred and sixt* tun-boat*. The

In the House of Commons, there was a dis
cussion on the same subject, introduced by Sir
C. Nafieb.
Palmerston aud Tern Sayers.
Tbe Prime Minister of England has lately
begged to be allowed to contribute "five sove
reigns for that splendid little fellow, Saybes."
This is one of those delicate little dives for
popularity among tbe pluck-loving Britons
at which no one is more expert than the wide
awake and elastic Premier. When it is taken
into consideration that the English do not
claim that Sayhka achieved a victory ; that
their highest pretension is that it was a
drawn battle, there is something wonderful
in tbe honors they lavish upon their Cham
pion. Snch honors, under tbese circum
stance, redound principally to the Americans;
for, not to be whipped by an American, is a
pitch of glory which fills the highest ambi
tion of Great Britain.
"Honest Old Abe.'*
The principal recommendation of Mr. Lin
coln for the Presidency is that he is honest.
We are not surprised at theextravagaut sat
isfaction manifested by the Republican press
at this fact. If the salvation of the country
depended on finding five honest politicians in
it, the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah would
overtake it before sundown. "Honest old
Abe !" We can imagine tbe honest old gentle
man's surprise at finding such a handle affixed
to his name. If, however, he ia honest in the
main principle of his political creed, the "irre
pressible conflict," so much tbe worse for the
country, if he is elected.

sws.& Fellow-Citizens: On tlie eve of the el*r
ti«>n, Mr. Jons A. fc-rino has iclm'shed in the
Dispatch a card, in which he charges me with hav
ing circulated a tepo t that he was incompetent
to make out lis hooks as Commissioner ot the
Revenue. I have circulated co stieh repoit; but f
have, on al! suitable * cuss ens, spoken of the 11.1
of his not. having made Out the T.ard Uook at all
for the year 1%9. I made out the first hook,
which was examined by the Clerk ef the Court
and in*self; I wrote every word, made every
figure, and made every calculation, and from
that book I copied the other three, which wi:l
be seen in my nandwdtiiu- by reference, to tha
books in the respective offices Kven the exam
ination of the books which the law requires
shall l>e made at the Cle fc's office, by the
Clerk and Commissioner, was made by myself
with the Clem—Mr. Eachowaa not even present
(I mean the examination of the first hook—he was
present when the other threj books were read, i
which was merely done in *■■ der to see that they
were nil alike ) I felt perfectly instilled io speak
ing of these facts, when 1 found th<tt an tmpres- 1
sion had been mule upon the minds of mans
that, while I was Commissioner. Mr. Eacho had
in ide out my b..oks. Mr. Eacho never wrote a
nne or a wind in my books in his life. The books
themselves are the best eviden oe of my assertion.
Hia handwriting cajanot b • found in one of tnetn
.So much in reply to Mr. Eacho's card.
1 was complained of twice dur.ng 19 years'aer
vice for failing t-> l.idre in* books in lbs Clerk's Of
fice for examination at the time prescribed by law. i
but not. f.nod for those fannies. It will lie seen
from Mr. hacho'a h>>oKs that he, too, was far be

to th* canvass for the SHERIFFALTY of this
county, in which lam now encased Having, bow
ever, to rely upon in* own personal popularity and
the merit which is in me. I feel it in* duty to meet
openly every misrepresentation that is made

they are made unintentionally. Now, while I nave

I have refrained '"rom any publication until I eoaUi
contult with friends disinterested in that matter
Having claimed the larger portion of the Belie-isle

I was sure upon good .routs, 1 was astonished to
hear Mr Ta* lor assert, and attempt to prove, tha*
"out of 25 votes in the Belle-Isle Works, there
were only f> ur Atlee men" I will do Mr. Tn. lor
the justioe to say that he informs me that he d d
not mean to create the impression that I had only
four friends there; but as it has been reported anil
beuev*-d by some that he did prove such a state of
f'a;,ts, I must also do myself the justice to state
what.l know to be the facts, or tather let the facta
speak for themselves throush the annexed car.: :
We, the undersigned, operatives at the Belle-

candidates for the Sheriffalty of this county,
stated that he bad visited the Belle- Isle Works, and
that out of the twenty-five votes there, he (Tay
