Thu TRIBUNE IN THE Observation-Disclosures
ED IMprpENCE.-In the Tribune of the 4th
instant, Hon. Massa Greeley attempts to reply
to the proof which we recently gave from the
columns of his own journal that he had advo-
Gated secession within the last three months.
His reply is quotation entire of his articles
from which we gave extracts; and this, prefaced
by come stale abuse of the HERALD, be as
sumes the public will receive as vindica.
ton of his course. The man is certainly mad
What the transparent tricks Of bogus CORES
pondence from the South and "forged" letters
from Bolts have long suggested as to his insani-
ty, this article upon the HERALD clearly demon
strates. Why, the very articles he quotes con-
tain damnatory proofs Of our assertions that he
has added traitorism to the other isms he has
championed. They prove something more, it is
true for they chow Mat the Tribune is as incon-
sistent as it is traitorous. They prove that not
only does TO- days issue contradict yesterdays,
one editorial contradict another, the CORE
ependence contradict the editorials, and the
telegraphic dispatches contradict both, but,
also that actually its editorials contradict them
selves. This is not news to US; but why should
the Tribune be SO eager to display it's nakedness
10 the publics
The truth is that the Tribune, like Wendell
Phillips, has for years advocated dissolution
Of the Union as the easiest way of getting rid Of
slavery. Failing in every other way, it now
tries to accomplish it's end by weakening pub
Lie confidence in its own President and Cabi-
net. Can this be denied? viii it have another
doee Of extracts from its disuuion editorials,
correspondence and poetry to REPUBLICAN? Only
inaanity, and hardly that, can excuse such
course as the 7ribune's in what pretends to be
leading journal.

 MR EDtroR.-Peru>ing the columns of the Citizen find therein contaiued, over the sig nature of Aunt Dolly" ;" a correspondence, or rather proposition, to which. tn ough the medium of your columns, I wish briefly to re- ply. Thls ihiuk have right to do; for come as one of tlie many "who have served out tn eir time. aud returned home to rest upon their laurels > It has never been my nlsfor- tune, Mr. Editor, to have to question the modesty which invariably marks out aud aiorns with briliancy the progress of the TRUE woman. Nor would in the present instance, under any circumstances whatever, be found intentionally pictulinS stan over that SO much to be admin ed and appreciated jewell But there are, as is evident flom .Aunt Dollv's m oposition, grounds sufficient for doubt as regards its former purity Aunt Dolly proposes Co have us presented with "a hoop skirt wax doll, and sugar tit '" mighty proposition is this; and mighty woman is she. But since Aunt Dolly Is so liberal hearted, we think that she might have extended her liberality, and have proposed to give us ALL the other little extras and ap- pendages which nave tiIefr pecuitarity to tue apparel of the feminine sex. As reason, we know that there ARE other things necessary to the fitting us out in a womanish and dressy- like style. We hope to have the presence of Aunt Dolly, and also her instructions as to use and wear, upon the occasion.
 As tenderer and representative of my comrades, now offer to Aunt Dolly our sim cere and heartfelt thanks ; for we are all single men, but one, and hope soon to have wives to wear the '.hoops," and babies who will nurse the ssdolls," and have sense enough to know what to do with the ''TIT." Yours truly,

I'm Here.

A Scotch farmer, who was riding horse
back one moonshiny night, with his man
Watt, stopped at tavern to bait his hor
ses and as he had been drinking good
deal Of hot stuff, it took but a few more
glasses to make him drunk In this con-
dltion he mounted and started for home
The moon was shining SO bright that the
farmer forgot the time Of day, and said to
his man
'Watty, we were name the woss fer that
last glass o whiskey this frosty morning"
Faith, said Watty, blowing lis 6n-
gers, and looking as blue as : bilberry,
''your honor may be name the worst for it
but I'm name the better, | wish was"
On they rode the farmer gripping hard
at the horses male, and rolling round like
sack of meal for the cold air was begin
ming to make the spirits tell on him. At
last they came to a bit of brook that cross
ed the road and the farmers horse being
pretty we'll used to having his own way,
stopped short, and put his head down to
take drink. This had the effect to make
the rider lose his balance, and away he went
over the horses ears, into the very mid
die of the brook. The farmer had just
sense enough to hear splash, and to know
that something was wrong but he was SO
drunk that he did not the least suspect it
was himself
"Watty, my mon, somebody's fallen into
the stream, hasn't there -
"Faith, you may say that" replied
Watty, like to roll off with laughing; ''for
it's yourself master p
"Hoot, fe, WattyH' cried the farmer,
with a hiccup at every word, sit surely
cannot be me, Watty, for I'm here"
