MIR Greedy is often as dissatisfied with the
positions his organization forces him into, as
his opponents are; but having once taken
them, his conceit makes him defend them He
loves and hates his works at the same time
loves them because they are his own; and
hates them because they are no better-be.

to defend them, which he cannot help doing,
as long as he continues to place SO high an es

Greedy is a Dodger. Dodgers are artful-not
firm. If Mr.. Greedy had frmness he would
not be running from one extreme to another
and changing his plans so often.
| " man deficient in religion and conscien.
tiousness can have no fixed purpose. ID,
right, and leave the result to God, is not Mr.
Greeley's motto. The Tribune and the Ia.
rlff (now, Abolition) first; God and tho right
next When Mr. Greeley does seek the truth
he looks for it in the wrong way-through hi,
intellect, instead of to God directly
