( Southern institutions, employs only white

Of its summer tide corruption, a single atom

I in poiut Of fact, with men Of any color. The
| senior proprietor, HORACE GREELEY, came to
! New York from Vermont, about thirty years
| ago, tow headed, slab-sided JONATHAN, as
| verdant as the Green Mountains OF his native
State. He possessed, however, The universal,
aud, In HIM, predominating bump of acquisi-
tiSeness, which he never turned to much ac-
count tiH has connec non with MI. ELwoRTH,
and the % adjustment Of the Tribune Office
| The capital and stock IN trade of this concern
was, from the beginning, negro slavery, and
therefore some OF his New York contempO-
| raries familiarity speak of GREELEY & Co. as
wool dealers, which, in fact, Is their exclusive
business, and by when they have made their
large fortunes. Without the negro, II would
he as impossible for the Tribune to ex-
ist as a cotton plantation. The talent OF
GREELEY consisted in meeting The demands
| OF New England ianaticism with an inexhaus-
| tibie supply in the Southern market Given
| New England Puritans and Southern negroes,
| the question, "WILL IT Pay was easy of So
| luton. For, with men OF the GREELEY stamp,
| that is the only question; and they laugh at
| any man AS a fool who thinks there is any
| other ques ton.
GREELEY was right in the conclusion that it
| tcomid pay, and he has made it pay. He and
his partner have supplied the 1anaticnl de-
mands of New England with the most mex
haustible variety OF first-rate libels and cop
perhead assaults upon Southern institutions,
and they have grown rich They live in hand
some houses and possess handsome eq uipages,
and occupy pews in the uppermost places OF
Rabbi CHAPiN's synagogue. They even ina
CINE themselves gentiemen--a deiusion as
common with JoNATAANs, when they have
made money, as their abolitionism. They
fancy that broadcioth and money in bank
makes them different creatures. Bank bills
are powerful, and they form a pretty thick
padding for self-snfficiency and self-conceit;
but they cannot make gentleman Refine
lnent of sentiment, nobility OF principle,
truth, justice and honor, are things which be-
long to no particular condition in life, and
which money can no more buy than it can
transform a gorilla into a man. You may
dress a monkey in velvet and laces and teach
him to wear a sword 10y his side. for he is a
smart and initiative animal; but you cannot
give him the bearing of man, and the instinct
of the beast will always lead him to the per-
Torrance of dirty tricks. Hence. the Tribune,
in spite OF its wealth and assumed consequence
has no moral weight, and commands no respect
and influence, except with other members of
the gorilla tribe
An old acquaintance Of GREELEY, who had
known him when linsey woolsey was the
heirht of his ambition and a clean shirt was a
luxury reserved for the holidays, called on
him a few years ago. and asked him how many
negroes he employed in the tribune Office
The nhilanttropist informed him that he did
not employ negroes that none but white men
were OF. gagged in his establishment He has a
great deal to say about the duty Of giving the
free Africans OF the North more dgnified vo-
cations than those of barber and Wood-c tier,
hut he never youchsates TO set the example to
his benghted fellow citizens. He has white
slaves only, but their bondage is none the
less complete and degrading on account of
their com pIexion. He says that free speech is
not permilted in the South that a man no
more dare speak against slaves in Virginia
than a Muscovite can denoUnce despotism in
st. Petersburg. Is there any free speech in
the 1rtbuns' Can one Of its iitrdn speak
for slavery in that Journal The negro the
Tribune says, comes into slavery without his
consent aud he cannot transfer his body from
one place 70 another without the consent Of
LIS owner. This is what GREELEY makes his
slaves of the Tribune say, WHO came into bon
,iage with their own consent, and who belong
not only III body, but III soul, to their owner
Winch slavery is the more honorable and
worthy Of IA man The Southern laborer is
Engaged in toll that produces articles necessa-
~ to the wants. the comfort and the happi-
ness OF man; the bondmen of GREELEY, in the
publication of SANDER, rebellion, civil discord,
treason. Which kind of work is the more
valuable a.id disnilied True, the Southern
slave cannot leave his WORK, but his work is
useful to the world. Can GkEELEY's yassais
leave their work, except for starvation, and,
if they can, ought they not to do IL. II they
can live without leading the lives of incenGia-
ries, assassins and banditti, why not adopt
some honest mode of subsistence! IT they
cannot, why talk about Freedom
OF course there are, strictly speaking, few
freemen in the world. Our preacher is limited,
by the laws of G ID and man. and by the mex
orable chain of our necessities. Few men la
Dor at all because they desire labor; it is be-
cause they cannot live without it. The most
a man can do is to choose the kind of labor in
which he will engage, and ii it is lawful, hon.
est and useful TO society aud himself, he may
perform his duty with alacrity and pride, even
though he is not freeman. But when men
enslave themselves to works of mischief mu-
tiny and crime, the less they say ABOUT any
other form of human slavery the better. The
