Blorsee Umlry-lll, letter 11 r. Heveard Th Chicago Convention. We are sotry that Horace Oreeler vir

o far forgot tr ii manhood a to write the letter to Mr. SMard which we published Iq our Telegraphio column a few dar ago. Every man, it i aaid baa hi wnkoeu, and the tit Biust havo been on th pbiloso(her of the Tribune when he pcuued that epUtle. Why ahould the Editor of the Ntw York Tribun expect a p rsooal favor from aoy living nan T Why should he I under pedal Obligation to any one? aod why ahould he desire to b ao placed T Huppos

Mr. Seward had not been a grateful a Mr. Greeley thought h( ought to have bcuti, ie

it tha part c f philosophy to complain, or of o-enuin manhood to letl hiio of it? The

man, who, by hi unaided industry and

his great Inlellecutal power made himself what Horace Oretley i, ought to have felt,

that he wan a bowstritg' fliog bey on ft all

uch thing. Ah thi- editor of the roost iu

fioenual p tper the continent, he ehoold

havo felt, that even thu ingratitude of the

most distinguished number of the United

State Senate, could not affect him. He

ahould hate triumphed uver all' persona

Consideration aod mercenary motive, mmd

ntttr hate written that UtUr.

But wo ara not writing thi article ao much to conaur Mr. (Ireeley for writing

that letter aa to take a alight review of the circumstance that have brought it before

the public. It ii known to every one that Mr. Greeley of the Tribune. Mr; Weed of the Alba, uy Journal, Mr. Raymond of the Tiroes aod Mr. Webb of ihn Courier A Enquirer were all in attendance at the Chicago Coovention. Weed, Raymond aid Webb were for Mr. Seward, and Gtcoley was, from first

to last, for Mr. Rates, lie exerted all his

influence for the distinguished cititun of Missouri, the other three for the Senator from New Kork, and Mr. Lincoln of Uli.

noia received the nomination

Those (our New 'York editor go bout and immediately commence h battle.

Weed, Raymond and Webb attack Greeley

and he fight back at the trio. They ac

eute the editor of the Tribune of defeating

the noroiaation of Mr. Seward, and he ssys

he was acting for the good of the Republi

eao party ami the country. They tell him

he was prompted by personal feeling against their favorite, and be says he had

oo perianal feeling in the matter. They

insist upon this, refer to the celebrated

letter Greeley demands ita publication.

aod the world ia sickened by ita perusal.

To one who has read tho controversy be

tween those four editors in relation to the

Chicago Conveution, and the cootrulling

part that each appears to Lavo taken in its deliberations, the idea ruoat prominent iu

the mind will be, the egotistical assump

tion of those gentlemeo, that the action,

management and destiny of the Cooven

tion was entirely in their bands, aod un

der tbeir cootrol. That those four gentle

men from the Empire? State, together with the New York delegation, if unUtJ, had

the power to aay, what should, aud what

should cot be the. action of a Republican

the other, that ho controlled the action of tractor and the recipients of the edtainis-

I

a National Convention, and the other modestly replying he lind no personal motive

in doing it.

If those gentlemen will lake a'dilurenl

Hand point fiom that generally taken by

New York politicians, and by themselves as editors, they may learn a leon from

the -action of the Republican Convention

which recently met at Chicago, that may

:e öl some service to un-m. j hcj wj

meet, a "Great West," and that its veice and its influence uncontrolled by any

man or set of men ia beginning to be heard anl felt, and they may look I ihls

not no the editor of the New Yolk Tribune

That same editor, shown to hav mi it-peaeated Mr. Liticoln in two important particulars, now bring another charge againtt him, which i. that Mr. Lincole "Was no cruel aod hard hearted when H Coogresi at to vote against a law which g iv a a bounty to th tolJiert who served their country in the Mexican war, ICO .ere of land each." He who hat lied twir on Mr. Lincoln, 4 unworthy of belief when h make a third charge. The bid Roman maxim, Pais in one thing, fs) in all," applies in all its fore to the unscupulous editor of the Journal. Until hecau give some reaton for the falsehood he hss already told on the Republican nominee, no on will believe aoy allegation he nukes sgsiost him. JEvery street rumor he hears every dem egogne who maltet fuhrt charges on the .corners, and every boy who retails false r port against Mr. Lincoln, the editor of tie Journal tciies hold of, and putt the r mors, report and charge in hi paper, and give them la the world, a truth..

Th nc st charge v expect to find in the ;

httinflueoca dlJ, only In the iraallest par

ticular, affect the prospect of Mr. Sward. Thcro never was a time, and ther never would hav com a time, when tho Senator from New York could have bnou th imoii neu of the Chicago Convention. Th largest vote he could over have gotten he did got on the first two ballois, and had tho Conven'n balloted flfiy times be would have fallen o(T continually. That Convention never wa, nod no earthly power ever could hav mad it, favorable lo the nomination of Mr Seward. Front the first t tho Inst, when favorite wore dipori of, Mr Lincoln wat the Cunwtitiou's rhuied. Mr. Oirtlny was i.hrr aa a delegate from Oregon, and exerted hit influence for Mr. Dair ; and

the oily particular in whlchlitinrtufi.ee did damage th propcia of Mr. Howard, was, when the warm frirudt tf that gentle man, iu tho beat of their enthusiasm would assert, that "no man could carry New York but Mr. Si'tvard," (he fricoda of Mr. Lincoln would reply "Mr. Oreelcy who is supposed to know something shout tho political condition uf tho Kmpin State, ssys the nominee of tiki- Convention, b be whon be msy, cun carry New York by 30,. 000 usjority." I'hi was so argument, given by lk priiiunee of Mr (lre-ley into the hand of Iho who oppo;ad the noruinaticn of Mr. SewajJ, and so far a this went, alone went the influence of Horace Greeley in defeating him. We were at that Convention from the time when the first deleite bean to arrive in the city, until it glorious work wa accomplished. We were one of the first from thil State who advocated the claim of the distinguished cillseu of Illinois for IU nomination. We clung to hi fortttoo from first lo last from the time when only some five or six delegates from Indiana declared in hjs favor, until our full delegation came to his support, and the wild hutzss of twroly thousand people, and the thunder of the cannon announced that he was the choice of the Convention. We were warm in. his favor, and wc think we know eomething about the influence thai certain individuals exrted on thai

The haud of lha Executive ia next seen

in the attempts made to pack the present

Congress, to support hie ayttem of corrup

tion. A most glaring lostance la round in

the election of a member from Michigao to supplant Mr. Howard. The means employed aignalise the audacity as well as depravity of the Administration. It hnd entered into a contract for the building of acuttom bout at Detroit. - The bond were signed aod delivered, and the contractors awaited orders, when the Government violated the engsgement took the job into its own own hands sent out ao t;ent. who, at a greatly enhansed cost, (exceeding the contract price by sixty thouktod dollars,) employed a multitude of imported employeea to do the work, aod theirs and other illegal voles from Canada

were used to turn the scale againat Mr.

Howard, who in his recent contest in recovering his sett In the House, haa expoed the whole transaction. Of a piece with thi was th successful management in which th President' hand

again appear, to secure the return of hi

poculiar intimate, Mr. Florence, from Phil adelphia. To accomplish this, two frig

ate aro ordered lo bo constructed at the

Philadelphia navy yard. As the election

approached, the yard wa filled with supernumeraries from a distance, Tho fol

With much respect, W. C. PATTESON. Tux PacsinaNT. Thit letter was sent totliu Secretary of the Navy by the President with (hi indorsement t "SirTLMBKB 15, 185?. "The enclosed letter from Colonel Patterson, of Philadelphia, is submitted to tho tlention of the Hecretsrv of tho If avy. J.B." Such a letter, thus indorsed by th President and tent to one of hit subordinates, could not fail ol it effect, and accordingly the work was givt-u to Merrick t Sora, ever the head of much lower bidders, to whom, by the law, it should have been assigned ; and the irr! nonce of tha firm, "with it 450 tner, wbpj, ie full B-ork," aecured lo Col.

strangled, by that body substituting

another bill for it. The friends of the

measure looked npon this as the defeat of a Homestead Bill. It wa the cowardly

manner the Democratic Senate adopted of

destroying a bill, which they intended should never become? the law. The Re

publican House became alarmed at thia action of the Democratic Senate, aod . ap pointed a committee of conference. That committee met and could not agree. A second one wat appointed, and it wat un-
