The political friendship-partnership, it has been called-thus begun between Weed and Greeley lasted until 1854, or, so far as Weed was concerned, until the nomination of Lincoln in 1860. Their usefulness as co-workers can not easily be overestimated. Weed was the cool, calculating, far-seeing politician, who would leave unsaid or undone what it was right to say or to do, if this would favor his party's success, and who worked for ends, without a constant criticism of means. Greeley was not nearly so far-seeing in political matters as he was credited with being, but he was desperately honest in his convictions, and eminently fitted to give them expression. As il

all means necessary for that purpose. Your assailants, and not you, would be responsible for the consequences. The proceedings of these caucuses were published on January 30, and the Tribune with them printed an editorial in which it asserted that nothing was ever better adapted to the great work of arousing and fixing the North, and added: Then, as to the other monstrous grievance, the free States--shamed into manhood by the Abolitionists of various species This was anticipatory of Lincoln's declaration: I have been only the instrument. The logic and moral power of Garrison and the antislavery people of the country, and the army, have done all.--will not permit the extension of slavery. The vast regions that came to us free must remain so. In October, 1849, a State convention in California adopted unanimously a constitution which excluded slavery, and this was ratified by the people by a vote of 12,066 to 811.

eeley's nomination by these tariff reformers and civil service reformers seemed like an impossibility. At the Union League Club in New York city members individually predicted that the candidate would decline the honor, but Greeley had no such intention. How could it seem to him otherwise than that the gratification of an ambition unsatisfied for years had come at last?

But now a great movement of the people in favor of that honest government and universal amnesty for which he had so long been pleading, and on account of which he had made so serious sacrifices, had called on him to be its leader.
