Our afflicted frirnd Of the Tribune,
the repentant male Magdalen Of New
York journalism, has once more" just
once" be says-thrown himself on bis
knees before the ''howling WOLF" as be
calls it, of public opinion. " Let the
wolves howl on !" he closes his humble
profession, 81 do not believe they can
goad me into another personal notice OF
their rawlings" The public "wolf' has
accused Massa Greeley Of writing for
the newspaper which he has been sup
posed to control. He solemnly asseve-
rates that the accuation is false; that not
single one Of the paragraphs " was
either written or in any way suggested
or pr ompted by him." which have ar
rayed the people in such hostility
against him. He has delivered lectures
at qusrter head; been wbipper-in of
advertisements, aud drummer boy in
chief to the Tribune establishment; but

them. Had he seen certain articles
they never should have appeared but
alas, he was not permitted to look at the
manuscript, aud they stand, and he, poor,
abused Massa Greeley, has to bear the
brunt of the misconduct Of his masters.
He even promises ITO bar all criticism,
in the columns Of the Tribune upon
army movements, past or future )" but,
as if to prove his own powellessness, bis
cynical colleagues have not permitted
single article in the number which con.

which is not devoted TO abuse of the
war or Of war organs. Poor Greeley
Who then does conduct the Tribune?
Is it the ghost of Murat or Robespicrre!
Is it Garrison and Wendell Phillips
They have praised it highly of late, and
tried to revive it's decaying fortunes.

subject, and let a public exorcism take
place which shall drive into the Red

Had Masss Greeley denied being
secessionist we might have questioned
his straightforwardness but on this
point be is silent. He disclaims none of
the responsibility of the dlsunion views
which appeared in the Tribune previous
to the war. For the present We con-
dole with his griefs, and beg that he
will continue to favor the public with
letters. Should the Tribune refuse to
publish them, We will give them free
insertion in the columns Of the Herald.
