GREELEY GOING INTO THE IRON MANUFACTURE.
Greeley has, as everybody knows, been the
great Wing champion of high tariff. lilo has
written about it for the last ten years, with the
industry of an ant and tho rapidity of race
horse. Some scientific gentleman might find it
an interesting problem to reckon up the amount
of paper and ink consumed in this insane pur-
suit. We should say ut hap-hazard, Il North
American continent of the one, and Lake Eric
of the other Tariff has been to him what the
shillclah is to the lrshman, mate drink, lodg-
ing, washing and ALL" Not contented with the
immense arena of his paper, he wrote books and
pamphlets about the same high tariff, and made
occasional forays into the country (pide his cam
paign speech in ClcveandO upon the identical
infatuated mission. So things went on. Gree
ley stakcd the whole game of the last election on
the high tariff issue. TO revive that antiquated
measure, he was willing to fraternise with men
whose principles he "spit upon, execrated and
deiod." The people, however, in the abundance
of their strong good sense, paid no attention to
Mr.. Greeley and his croakings, further than to
kick the one out Of the way, and smother the
other in the general rush of mighty Democrat
c triumph.
Greeley, recovering from his establishment, re-
covered his senses likewise. He saw that his
fne-spun, fantastic theories, didn't square with
the practical experience of the country. So,
with candor that does him credit he speedily
announced himself reformed tariite, and prom
ised to discard the use of the intoxicating
by henceforth and forever.
And this is not all. Not only does Greeley
pitch off his old fashioned theories but proceeds
to demonstrate the utter falsty of the hideous
lamentations he has been wont TO indulge, by
going into the iron manufacture HIMSELF
A paragraph travelling the rounds of the pa
pers informs us that he, in company with Hiram
Waldbridge, of New York, have purchased
nearly the whole town Of Brighton, Pa, near
Pittsburgh, for the sum of 100000. They in
tend to go into the iron manufactures e.rtensire-
ly.
The moral Of the fact is obvious. 1t is the
old story. Measures which the Wing party
have bawed about, in one age, MS the sole hope
of the country, are, in the next, quietly laid on
the shelf, there to rot and rust. So will it be
even unto the end cleveland Plaindeaer.

MAGAZINE FOR ,sa.-The

~
IL sphere and the utility of the EcIEcTIc MAGA-
ZINE have become too well defined to require ex-
PLANTATION. Differing in aim from other magazines,
and supplying want which is widely and increas-
ingly felt by more educated and intelligent por-
ton of the community, it fills place which could
be filled i'll no other method than by the principle
of selection which il adopts. The great reviews
and magazines Of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves. are too numerous to be reprinted, as well
as too costly to be imported by the general reader
They contain, likewise much, with their desirable
articles, that has but temporary local interest
and which is worth to the American reader neither
the price nor time required to perusc it. To select
from the whole field of Journalism all that is really
valuable, both the graver dissertations and discus
sions of the reviews, and the lighter and more
versatile contents of the magazines, is the p,Ir-
pose of the EcLEcTlc. The best parts of all are
thus secured without the cost or incumbrance Of
the local or feeble parts of any. The main portion
Of the Eclectic will continue to be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford
Embellishments of the highest order of subject
and engraving will occupy each number Among
these will be richly engraved portraits Of the most
distinguished living characters especially in lite
nature, art, or statesmanship. These plates are
engraved by Mr.. SARTAIN, who has no superior in
the striking and effective style Of the mezzotint.
TERMs.-The Eclectic Magazine is issued on the
first OF every month, in numbers of lii large svo
pages each, on fine paper, making THREE VOLUMES
year, with title pages and indexes. Price SIS per
year if paid strictly in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Sc.
