The philosophy" we suppose the Colonel must
take as gall and wormwood. Greeley IS neverthe-
| less great man, and no mistake, as the follow
ing passage upon his opinions, personal habits, and
history, indisputably prove. Mankind may expect
some useful lessons from hisentire autobiography.
It is true that the editor of The Tribune chooses
mainly (not entirely vegetable food but he never
troubles his readers the subject does not wor-

true he believes in Fourier's ideas of associated in
dustry but it is hard for Philosophy that humble
man shall be made to stand as its exemplar; while

Seriously speaking, we have no doubt, after all
that these selfish and dsreputable quarrels among
these leading editors OF the wing press, will
disgust the respectable portions of the wing
party so much affect the issue of the approach

with all his exaggeration he is not half 30 severe

AFFAIRS AT WAsHNGroN.-The state of affairs
at Washington begins to be very interesting We
have had several fights, and some bright prospects
of several duels, but it seems there is law of Con-
gress to prevent any dues. But there is still pretty
comfortable assurance, that we shall have several
regular street-fghts, between the old parties in
Washington, before month is over. 1t is really
most amusing to see the pathos and sympathy ex-
hut oloto IN thar NUN
side, and their vindctiveness against their oppo-
nents, in reference to this matter of Stewart of
Pennsylvania, Weller of Ohio, and Shriver of
any where. We don't see that there is shade of
difference between the morale of any of them.
They are all alike. All belong to one or other Of
the old, corrupt, rotten factions We cannot rea-
sonably expect different conduct from them. But
we do trust they will go on, and if there is a
lower Deep" that they will have the goodness to
go-ahead on the principle of the renowned David
Crockett, and let us see it as soon possible
Once the lowest POI of degradation be reached,
we will have some prospect of the commence
ment of reform, but not till then.
We may now expect number of very exciting
particulars of a street fight, in the House of
Representatives or in the Rotunda, or any where |
they may choose to meet And until we do, we
shall consider them having disappointed the Just
expectations of the country.
NEXT News FROM EURorE.-Advices from Eu-
rope, especially from England and Ireland, now
looked for with interest and anxiety, by merchants,
repealers, philanthroplsts, and Others One days
later news may be of the greatest importance.
Our last letters were dated the 4th inst. Then
cotton had gone up, and the market was very ac-
tive, which h. thrown dealers into safe OF
excitement. Then, too, every preparation was
making in Ireland for the State Trials, which
to begin in eleven days thereafter, namely, the
18th.
Advices relative to the price of cotton may be |
expected every day. In the state Of the market
when the Britannia sailed it would not be surpri-
sing if a reaction took place in day or two after
her departure and the Hottinguer, very fast |
packet, which was to leave Liverpool on the 9th |
inst, may therefore bring intelligence that will fix
the price of our great staple for the season-either
to send it up or down. In this view, all who are
engaged in the trade will be the utmost qui viue
for her appearance, and also for the arrival of the
Roscus, another fast packet ship, which was to sail
a week after the Hottinguer. The latter has been
out twenty-hree days, and is consequently due.
In regard to the State Trials every one must adj
nit that their beginning will be the most important
1t will indicate the course TO be pursued by the
Repealers in their future movements, and also that
of Sir Robert Peel for the government. II appear
ed by our last intelligence from Dublin, that the
elements of a tremendous explosion were arranging
themselves in that devoted city, and the "oyez
oyez' of the crier of the Irish Court the morn
ing of the 10Th, may have been the signal for
luton throughout Ireland therefore, to be
that from the other side of the Atlantic to be
received in the next month will be of the most
exciting and important character. Who can tell
what day will bring forth
1t hardly be expected that any of our fine
packets will bring intelligence of the probable out
break in Ireland that will undoubtedly come by the
