DO bsieys In ths-skissnoe Of she animal eaisi
the gentleman both Ia private and ID public !
but we do not believe that it exists only in the
Union Club. We even consider Mr. Greeley
a gentleman" notwithstanding the dilapi-
dated condition OF his wardrobe and tog
gerry. Mr.. Greeley's word Of honor is about
as good as that of any other man. Mr.. Greeley,
according to the best accounts, always pays his
debts. Mr. Greeley never took the benefit of the
act Mr.. Greeley, if he borrows money of a
bank, most generally has paid it back in full.
Now, We think, in our conception of the word
gentleman" all such traits of character and
conduct, as much as telling truth, to be morally
essential 10 the constituent elements of that de-
partment or branch of the natural history of
man, called gentleman"
On this point, therefore-on the question OF
(which is the genteman"-we are rather dis
posed, not positively, to take sides with Mr..
Greeley, against Mr.. Webb but after arranging
and settling this point, we decidedly in favor
of Mr. Webb, in his movement calculated to ad-
vance the cause of General Taylor. Mr.. Webb.
1t seems, is a me mber of the Union Club, pri-
waite collection of individuals, who assemble
nightly at a very elegant house, next door to the
Carlton House. These gentlemen (recollect
we don't consider them exclusively so, for there
are few gentlemen in this large city who do not
belong to the Union Club)-but these gentlemen,
some Of them, are very respectable and wealthy
men; and others among them have more brass in
their faces than gold in their breeches pockets
have all come out in favor of General Taylor, as
being the only man who can save the country
from its downward tendency-from suspension
of the banks, and from ruin and disgrace. They
have mixed in this movement, and will aid in it;
and why should we refuse their aidl We GER
tainly accept it, and shall be very happy to pat
them on the head, and say to those who are
standing aside and looking on " Come ye, also,
my boys, and do as well.'

The PRE- sIDENT's MESSAGE IN ENGLANp.-This
important document has been received in Eng
land, aud has been commented upon there in the
real Tom CorwIn ultra wing style. The London
Standard applies the following epithets-" I'M
provoked and foulest aggression" a,rocious,"
outrage" Savage prosecution of the war;
"robbery," "love of plunder," and many more
of the same kind to the war and the message.

MIR. GREELEY AND Mr.. WEBB-WHIcH Is THE
GENTLEMAN I'm The quarrel between Mr.. Webb
and Mr. Greeley, respecting the nomination. of
General Tay Tor for the next Presidency, so far
as it is confined 10 that object, we are decidedly
n favor of Mr. Webb We are bound in honor
TO support Mr. Webb's movements, if they are
conducted with proprlety and decency, and
honestly made for the object in view, viz: the
triumph OF General Taylor. We were the first
editor, and the Herald was the first paper this
country, that put forward the name Of General
Taylor for the Presidency, having been more
than year ahead Of any other man or any other
journal; and In supporting Mr.. Webb in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Greeley, we are supporting him who
has come In to aid us in the great cause. We
have taken in Mr.. Webb as an assistant in the
cause of General Taylor and, of course, we are
bound to support those who assist us and adopt
our views.
But in making this declaration, and limiting
our aid to the extent of the cause of General
Taylor, we by no means mean to join Mr.. Webb
against Mr.. Greeley, IN extraneo us matters, that
conflict with reason propriety, truth and justice.
In our estimation of the Tribune as paper, or
OF It's character as publisher of truth, we
think Mr.. Greeley and the Tribune, are as truth
ful as the general run Of newspapers, and that
there is not much to choose in the aggregate be-
tween the Courier + Enquirer and the Tri
bune, or between Mr. Webb and Mr. Greeley
Whether Mr.. Greeley Tepudiates religion in pri-
vate, we do not know but we certainly do know
that he has as much private religion as Mr. Webb
has. We were associated with Mr. Webb in
the management of the Courier e. Enquirer, and
lived on very intimate relations with him for
four years; and, certainly, on the score of reli-
gion or morals, he has nothing to claim superior
to Mr. Greeley.
Then, again, asto Mr. Webb's ideas of ''gen-
tleman," and the ideas entertained by Mr. Gree.
ley OF the same animal. 1t seems that Mr. Gree
ley does not believe in the animal at all, or
rather he believes that such two legged ant
NAL is imaginary, like the centaur or the phgnix
or any other poetical idea while, on the other
hand, Mr.. Webb affirms his adherence in this part
ofn atural history, aud believes that the animal
with two legs, called a " gentleman" does exist
in the city of New York but that it can only be
found in a certain place in Broadway, called the
Union Club, aud no where else. Now, on this
point, we differ with our friend Mr. Webb. We
