- The aribune's DIsunionism. o.
The Tribune, which has always been tinsur-
passed for coarse vigor and virulence, is doing
great mischief to the cause Of the Union b.
bounding on Gen. Scott 10 make rash and pre-
cipitate attack on the rebels and trying to posor
the public mind against him and the Administers
tion because they will not hazard defeat by vir.
tually surrendering to Mr.. Greeley the direction
of the war. The truth 10, the conductors Of the
Tribune are at heart disunionists, and have been
for the last eight years. In the spring of 1854,
or thereabouts, that paper published q long and
very noticeable series Of editorial articles, run
ming through several months and fortified by q
great array of statistics, aiming to prove that
the Union Is not blessing to the North, but q
disadvantage. 1t went 90 far as to compute,
arithmetically, the precise amount of pecunisry
loss entailed annually on every inhabitant the
free States by the continuance of the Union
which it ciphered up to be sum that would
look formidable If collected annually by tax
gatherer. -iliJ l.-a
Those deliberate and elaborate articles, 30
shocking to ell the traditions handed down to
rs by the fathers of the republic, naturally at
tracted wide attention OF the time. The Itib-
ane has neither retracted their views nor &C
knowledged the inaocuracy of their statistics
from that day to this. On the contrary there is
no labor which It has performed with such zeal
and gusto, and with such q profusion Of clumsy
ridicule, as that Of scofing OF every public man
or political party that expressed any fears Of the
dissolution Of the Union. In the well-stocked
arsenal Of abusive epithets and ribsldry which
has always been the 1ribxne's chief controver.
sial resource, there Is no one which IL has
seemed to consider as SO damaging, or as max
ing the person pelted with it quite 80 ridiculous
as "Union saver" Theae attempts, pursued
through long years With remarkable tenacity Of
purpose, TO make every man who cared for the
preservation Of the Union an object Of derision,
very naturally eliminated In the, early part Of
the right OF the Southern States TO eecede and
set up for themselves, In articles wherein 1t
quoted from the Declaration of Independence
In support Of this right. It's deadly enmity to

ter, when 1t supposed he was aiming to bring
about peaceful settlement Of the controversy,
to make q sudden somersault, and try 70 dam

patriotic public sentiment which called for o

In pursuance Of this design, the Tribune
found it convenient TO dIsguise for awhile its
inyeterate hostility to The Union, but disease
that 10 90 deeply seated will break out. It has
now for O long time been the Tftbnne's daily
business, either by open attacks, or coEardly
insinuations, to weaken the Administration and
the commanding General, and drive them Into
hazarding O battle before they are prepared, In
order that the defeat Of our army may afford Il
q pretext for again advocating secession, as it
did last winter. The readers of that sheet
cannot have failed to notice the frequent crop
ping out, during the last few weeks, of tho idea
that, II We do not whip the rebels IN the fretl
battle or two, we ought Immediately to recog-
nize their independence; and this idea has been
constantly put forward in the articles In which
thas sheet has urged Q battle before the great
est conmandcr 10 the world thought It would
be safe. The Tribane wishes the Union forces
to be beaten, and Is therefore bounding on Gen.
Scott to fight before he is ready. IL has alrea-
dy given notice that, II we lose the first battle,
Il goes for Southern independence. The fol
lowing extracts are from its yesterdays Issues.
sfThe simple question to be decided is-Are
Northern men the equals Of Southern? Or, Are
they poltroons who will runm the sight OF q.

Of q long war-no chance for II, unless policy
and craft will 90 have It, Let fifty thousand
defenders Of the Union beat As many rebels in
fair battle, and the war will be substantially
ended. There viii remain skirmishes, and am.
buscades, and few cowardly shots at sentinels;
but assasstnation is not war, -
"If, ss we rejoice to hsar, Gen. Scott is now
ready to try conclusions With JEFF. Davis and
Beauregard, the war 10 near its end. We gay
this IN no boastful spirit-we concede the posi-
bility Of the rebels proving the stronger party.
