istants to follow his model. Writing to one of these who had gotten out a number of the New Yorker in 1840, while he was in Albany, Greeley said: The last New Yorker was a very fair number, bating typographical errors, such as Dugal for Dugald Stuart, which is awful, as insinuating ignorance against us. I saw From whence in your verse, too. Don't you think that is shocking-positively shocking? His letters to Charles A. Dana, written while he was watching the Banks speakership contest in 1855-56,lZZZ give many pictures of him in the role of the editorial supervisor. One of these letters began thus: What would it cost to burn the Opera House? If the price is reasonable, have it done and send me the bill. . . . All Congress is disappointed and grieved at not seeing Pierce and Cushing demolished in the Tribune ... And now I see that you have crowded out the little I did send to make room for Fry's eleven columns of arguments as to the feasibility of sustaining the opera in New Y

werful pen. Rise and Fall of the Slave Power, II, p. 407. Greeley was in Washington during the contest which, in 1855-1856, resulted finally in the election of N. P. Banks, of Massachusetts, as Speaker of the House. While the outcome was uncertbe beaten for money, and that he did not think an antislavery editor could get justice in a Washington court. It was in 1856 also that the Tribune was indicted in Harrison County, Virginia, on a charge of publishing in New York, and circulating intting up a club of the paper. Neither indictment ever came to trial. After the nomination of Fremont for President, in 1856, the Tribune conceded that the odds were greatly in favor of the Democrats, and in announcing his defeat it said, We have om is past; the Saratoga and Yorktown are yet to be achieved. The great political events between the presidential years 1856 and 1860 were the Dred Scott decision in 1857, allowing slaveholders to take their slaves into the Territories; the Lecomp

party was not overcome, and in writing to G. E. Baker on April 28, 1859, he said: I lack faith that the antislavery men of this country have either the numbers or the sagacity required to make a President. I do not believe there are a hundred thousand earnest antislavery-men in this State, or a million in the Union .... Slavery has not another body of servitors half so useful and efficient as the most rabid Abolitionists . ... I hope Seward or Chase will be nominated on the platform of 1856, and then I will go to work for him with a will, but with perfect certainty that we are to be horribly beaten. I only want to be in such a shape that, when the thing is over, I can say, I told you so. I don't believe the time ever has been (or soon will be) when, on a square issue, the Republicans could or can poll one hundred electoral votes. But let her drive. Weed's Autobiography, II, p. 255.
