loving neghbor Of the Tribune, who has the hui
manlty TO advocate the cause of the black-mai-
leyying, throat-cuttng plundering rancheros Of
Mexico, and calls the necessary defence Of our
borders against the nroads of Mexican banditti
an unhoy violation OF our peaceful relations, has
joined in tie petty crusade against the vocalist,
Templeton. This Fourierite nest of philosophers,
who elevate their hands and turn up their eyes in
holy horror at the deserved punishment inflicted
on band of Mexican marauders, think it no
harm 10 join in malignant hue and-cry against
| poor travelling vocalist, and not only strive TO
injure his professional reputation, but actually as
sist at the production of foul and slanderous
defamation of his private character, which is cal
culated to carry dssensioR and strife into the bo-
som of his family. That our readers may Judge
OF the consistency of our pious contemporary, we
will give, at length. an advertisement that ap-
peared in the columns of the Tribune of yester-
day

II will be seen by this extract from the immacu-
late columns of the Tribune, that the pious man,
has descended to the meanness of publishing a
vile and slanderous advertisement of still more
vile and slanderous work, which is calculated,
however despicable the source from which it
emanates, to disturb Mr. Templeton's domestic
peace, and to wound in the tenderest point the
feelings ofhis wife and family. What next? The
pious defender of the British enormities in the
war of the Punjaub, who has still such holy hor-
ror of american wars, that he strove to quench the
patriotism of our citizens, and to parayze the
arm of the government in making necessary pre-
parations for the defence of our territory, now
stoops to the dsreputable office of assisting, as
head nurse, at the parturition Of brood of vile
slanders, intended to crush a meritorous artist,
whose only crime is that he refused to be plum
dered by set of harpes who besieged him with
their black-mail demands as soon as he arrived in
this country.
Now, it is said that we have called this man,
Clirehugh, a hair-dresser. True, in our erpose
Of his attempts at levying back-mail, proved by
the declaration drawn by his attorney, a docu-
ment-the genuineness of which it Is impossible
for him to deny-we have spoken Of him as a
hair-dresser, and we are not aware that he pro-
fesses to be anything else. In fact, we believe
that he claims to be one of the first har-dressers
and BARRIERS in the city, although we do not think
him by any means good as our friend Jim
Grant, of Ann street, who has performed all our
tonsorical operations for number of years in the
most artistic and mastery manner. We certainly
see no reason why Mr.. Vair Clirehugh should be
ashamed Of his calling-and it is not our fault if
he feels aggrieved by being called har-dresser.
We are apt to call things by their right names
lawyer, lawyer; boot-maker, a boot-maker :;
and barber, barber ; scoundrel a scoundrel
&c Nor do we see any reason why he should
be ashamed of being called Scotchman. We
always believed that he was native of Scotland,
Qor which we feel extremely sorry,) and therefore
we spoke OF him as a Scotchman. If he assume
TO be anything else, we shall most gladly make
the necessary correction. 1t will afford us the
greatest pleasure imaginable.
1t will be seen by the advertisement which we
have copied from the pages of our pious contempo-
rary, that the enemies of Mr.. Templeton, having
failed in injurng his professional reputation as
vocalist have dragged from the foul sinks nf SLAM
der and defamation, libellous charges of the gros
sest nature against his private character. This
attempt is characteristic of the shameless and inn
pudent parties who made an attempt to make
wholesale leves of black-mail on this poor vocal
ist, and who now vent their malice and disap-
pointment at the failure of their mercenary at
tempts in scandalous misrepresentation.
We should be sorry to ascrbe to the gentlemanly
proprietor of the Tribune any part in the appear
ance Of this disreputable advertisement, or the
equally mean editorial remarks. Mr.. McElrath
is member of the church, and gentleman, and
we believe him TO be incapable of sanctonng
such transaction. OF poor Mr. Greeley we really
know not what to think. There is a crack in his
head somewhere, and, from present appearances,
we fear that this crack is becoming wider and
wider every day We do not know where it will
end. His friends should look to him.
PATRIOTISM AND WAR.-In this city, three signal
offers have been made to the President of aid in
the war against Mexico-Captan Rynders, of
