THE EXODUS oF:MR. GREELEY.

Our friend Mr. Greeley-better known
as plain Horace Greeley, of the Tribune, i.
as all the world knows, an erratic genius
his tongue and his pen frequently, and hi:
legs occasionally, outrun his Judgment
AT the late whig convention, held in this
city, he was not only an interested specta
tor, but an active, ardent participant, advo.
cating the claims of his iavorite CLAY, with.
out reference to time, place, or circum.
stance, and, Judging from his gestculations
reckless OF oroadcloth-th is. if such a
piece of elegant superiority ever entered in.
to the composition of one of honest Horace
coats
AS the labors Of the convention drew TO
a close, 1t became evident that Gen. Tay-
Tor was to be the nominee. Greeley groa,-
ca IN splrlt-but stll hope had not deserted
MN. lie would not, for he could not. be-
ileve that wing convention would nomin.
ate any other but Henry Clay. He waited
Tor the fourth ballot. The chairman an
nounced "for General Zachary Tavlor,I7I
votes. He heard no more-the deed was
done-and Horace, no doubt, mentally ex-
canned, but with more truth than the in
hospllabIe ScOtchman, "thou canst not saw
did it,"
Late the same evening, Mr. Greeley was
seen running down Walnut street at loco
motive speed, his coat tail standing out at
an angle of forty five degrees. The ends
OF both legs of his pants were concealed in
his boots-the buckle of his stock under
one OF his ears-his hat over his eyes
and his shirt collar nowhere. He carried
his carpet bag by one of the handles, and
as 1t was (of course unlocked, an opportu-
nlty was offered to ascertain the nature and
extent of the wardrobe of man whose
name is almost daily on the lips of almost
every man woman and child in this great
and growing country.
He reached the wharf, and exclaimed.
sadly broken in the wind
" Nhere-wherc-is the-the-the-
New York boat!"
Some one informed him that the boat
had started an hour before.
a less determined man would have re-
turned TO his hotel. But when was Mr..
Greeley ever known to turn his back on
friend, foe, or journey? He did not care
me TOSS OF copper Tor steamboats, or rail-
road cars-not he. All he wanted was to
get out of Philadelphia-to lengthen the
distance between himself and the whg con-
ventlon-and to get back to New York.
lie announced his intention to cross Jersey
on foot! The people stared, but Horace
walkcd-on board the ferry GOAT. When
last seen by any of our citizens, he was
mn | i,,r al r 4
bag still in his hand, and his coat tail per-
lectly horizontal.
Bets were freely made that he would
reach Jersey City in advance of the cars.
His hackers no doubt have won, for the
leading article in the Tribune the following
morning, was not only written by Horace,
but it could only have been written in his
sanctum at an early hour on the same eve
ming he started for New York. Phla.
