Greeley Gives 1t Up.-The Now York Tn
bu,re, of Saturday, is Respondent. 1t makes
a sur vey of the political horizon, and tho re-
suit is not satisfactory. Hear its jeremiade
eve do not wish our readers to believe the
election of Fremont q fixed fact We do not
ourselves believe it, and Should not desire TO
diffuse the Impression if we did. We wish it
generally understood that the struggle is ar
duous, and that the result depends on work
yet to be done. In spite of many cheering
assurances, We consider the States of Penn.
sylvsnia, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and
California still doubtful. We may carry all Of
them by large msjorities, but We may also lose
enough of them to beat US in the contest. We
consider our chance in the House, should the
election 60 thither, Of very little worth. We
must succeed, il at all, by the votes Of the
people; we cannot count on q single slave
State and wo must either carry Pennsylva-
MIA, or losing it. carry all the rest Of tho free
States. We strongly hope to carry Pennsyl-
vania-we fe ell sure it can be carried for FIRE.
mOnt-but, If We were all to stop working
now, and fall to shouting over our anticipated
victory, we should have no victory to huEza
over. This is the naked truth, and the truth
is just what should be set forth and realized.
Should we lose Pennsylvania, we may posi-
bly, succeed without her but that, like the
choice Of Fremont by the House, is only q
chance If we carry Pennsylvania, it is bare
ly possible that we shall fail to carry States
enough to gives US the victory" .
Does not this look like q purpose ON the
part of tho Tribune to let itself down easy in
view Of coming defeat' We took occasion
lately to show from the files of the Tribune
prior TO the Presidential election of 1872, that
its political prophesies. however unreliable,
were not characterized by timidity. The T1t-
tune evidently sees that the pacifcation of
Kansas has taken away its political capltal
and that tho Fremont bubble which went ND
like a rocket is now coming down like stick.
Bogus Dispatches Tho Southside (Va.)

Washington to the effect that the cause Of
Buchanan being hopeless in New York the

remarks: "This was too big bolus for an or.
binary throat to swallow We would warn
our friends throughout the country to be on
the lookout for political dispatches, as, doubt
less, from now until tho Presidential election,
the newspapers opposed to the Democracy will

that the dispatch alluded to by the Southside
Democrat, according to the result Of our in
