Letter from Gel. Parker Fl. French.
TO TIE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
MANSION HOUSE, 9S CHAMBERS STREET.
For the honor of justice, the correction of error and
for the promugation of truth hope you will give the
following communication place in your columns.
Since late arrival in the United States my atten-
ticn has repeatedly been called letter published in
the New York Tribune purportng to be from special
correspondent of that paper, and dated Castillo Rapids
April TO- and printed In the the 3Oth Of the same
month But was unable until yesterday to the
ticle containing the lbelous letter. and hasten at the
earliest moment to give unqualified denial to every as
setion psinuatioa contained In implied by il. II
is fact that Mr. aorace Greeley himself
up as paragon of moral excellence and political purity,
with az air Of cerceted imxcusteuess unsurpassed In
the lat eighteen centure and abuses the power that
chance has thrown in his way to asaa those he

The letter alluced for which the ed the Tribune
are Responsible after ndugDg in the most Sian
and infamous personal gossip against me, says

the treaty Of the 18th of last October The edi Of the
Tribune reckiessy crculates everything that is palatabe
to his noraid appetite matter what amount Of misery
It brings family Aear.hstones or how crushing il to
the Individual hopes Of those who innocent OF the
charges ne makes and who have in no way crossed the
path OF his hins or ridiculous vanity yet right
he scatters his black and disgusting venom like the

that notice tae attacks OF this man for am very

more especially with pulous and c,wardly
as Mr. Greeley whose delight and occupation is to seek
issue with some one who has not equal mode OF At

For once again Wish editor, SO that might
strike back at this with equal show-that might
uLveil his canting hypocrisy, and prove how self
interest and childish vanity the soul OF all
bis theories-that moral ooursge and integrity OF
assertion are as foreign to his nature as manly
courage and honest candor to tho bosom OF Z
krave. Does any one suppose that if filed the
editorial chair Of some powerful daily paper Mr. Gree

That be wells the veakness OF his argument behnd bag

The editor OF the Tribune seems to goat upon the
mored rupture between General Walker and myself.
But allow me to disturb his enjoy by the assertion
that 1t is rotten hope for him to feed upon for
