The letter of Horace Greeley has sealed
the long expected fusion. True, we bad al)
the time known that there would be a prac,
tical fusion of Blacks and Half-breeds io «
very great extent, yet we we were not pre
parcd to expect that the equare-toed Republieans of the Greeley Abolition school,
would consent to the arrangement. Led on
by the cohesive power of spoils, the notorious Greely, by inducement or otherwise, bas
written a letter advising his brethren to
unite with the Anti: Lecomptonites. At Auburn and Sacramento, Mr. Greeley declares
that there are only two great parties, the
National Administration Democratic party,
and the Republican party ; that the principlesof these parties were diametrically antagonistic, and demonstrated clearly that the
principles of the Anti-Lecompton party amounted to nothing; that they were, in fact,
a miserable imbecile faction.
At San Francisco be argues the neceasity
