All OF poor Greeley's articles in tho Tribune
asserting the superiority Of the black rase have
not been thrown away. The irrefatabis logic
Of facts is at last coming to poor Greeley's aid.
Our European advices inform US that Madame
Gefrerd, the wife Of the negro President OF
hsyti, has recently been presented to ths EN-
per6v and Empress Of the French at St. Cloud,
and that she was received with distinguished
honors. This gives us cur cue in regard to what
the negro ambassadors soon to arrive Ia this
country frcni Hayti will undoubtedly expect.
If the wife Of > negro President Is greeted with
honor in France, what reception can be graad
enough for negro ambassadors in country
whose inhabitants are now wildly cutting each
others throats on account Of Ghe colored people
OF the Southf We must surpass France OF
perish in the attempt.
Charles Sumner is the Senator who was kind
enough to institute commercial relations be-
tween Hayti and this country twill be pro-
per, therefore. that he should take charge of the
Haytien ambassadors, ana prepare the pro-
gramme for their reception. With this delicate
and onerous task we have no wish to interfere
but we must beg leave to suggest TO Senator
Sumner that he should bear In mind the CON-
paratve superiority of Hayti TO this country.
Hayti is pure republic Of negroes. This coun-
try is now only halfand-half sort of a con-
Germ and, even II the plans of the radicals sue
coed. it will be but 8 mulatto natisn upon which
fullblooded darksys like the Haytiens can af-
ford to look down with contempt. This cir
cumstance most necessarily be taken into con-
alteration, and the black ambassadors must be
received with that profound humility beftting
an inferior race like ourselves. A carpet Of
American lago. upon which the ambassadors
might walk from the wharf 10 their carriages, is
a brilliant abolition idea. A congregation of
our chief negro worshippers, kneeiing in the
mud on the Battery as the ambassadors land
would have very fine and pleasing effect.
GreeIey's body guard Of nine hundred thousand
abolitionists, barring the chap who recently en-
listed in43oston-- who refuse to fight for the coun
try, but are ready to die for the negro-shouid
form the military escort. Wendell Phillips would
DO tho oratory very we'll; but perhaps Cassius N.
Clay might take the job more cheaply, as he is
already receiving major general pay. Brud-
ders Beecher, Garnet ~ Cheever will perform
the appropriate Thanksgiving and praise. Fre-
we forget that we are trespassing
upon Senator Summers programme.
Allow US one word more however in favor
Of poor Greeley. He has served the negro long
and faithfully. He Is now In reduced circum
stances. His Tribune does not pay expenses.

every ono knows him by the strawberry plant
on his left arm and treats him as q professional
mendicant. The police keep 80 sharp an eye
upon him that be is unable to steel much, and
canaot carry on his gift enterprise business with
any profit. He has recently tried to hawk
about "Les Mserabes;" but another publisher
has now issued much better edition at lower
price, and thus undersells him. For sweet
charity's sake, give him some small Office with
a certain salary, payable weekly0 about the
persons Of the negro ambassadors. A secre-
taryship would do, though be writes badly, or
even bootbackship. Anything to give him
food and lodgings during the winter. Perhaps
the Hay ten ambassadors wiz como on to New
York with the other foreign dipolmats, and In
that case Greeley will be invaluable. No doubt
he would send over to Europe for Aldrich, the
African Roscius, and pit him against For
rest, in order to demonstrates the su-
periorisy Of the negro intellect for the
amusement of the Haytisn embassy. It is
great pity that the Black Swan Is no longer
within reach, SO hat Grau might engage her for
the Academy. These trihing details may be ar
ranged afterwards, however, and the first thing
is to employ poor Greeley. Who knows the first
colored people of the city SO well as tho great
Tfibuns philosopher? Greeley IL, in fact,
darkey in everything but bis complexion and
his coat Parton, his biographer. says that he
was born black in the face, aud was only re-
stored to cream color by the sffsctiOnate exsr-
tons of the midwives. Ths midwives did not
change the color Of his heart however. and in
ternally he is as black as any othep darkey
This will undoubtedly be . recommendation In
the eyes of the Haytiens, and Greeley Smay come

hsps they might be induced 10 buy few straw

will give poor Greeley schance when the
Haytien embassy arrives.
