In good faith, and in behalf of his adminstra-

Blood and spoils-Ths Fruits OF the New
York Tribune.
| The history Of the New York Tribune and its
editor is a very melancholy one. The Tribune
began very mildly and feebly Is an advocate
| Of the exclusive use of vegetables and water
for food and drink. 1t was too weak to be
called even milk and water organ. Poor
Greeley lived 30 entirely upon water, and had
so much of it upon his brain, that it was diff
| cult to tell whether he was dead or alive, and
he had to be tapped before he could speak.
| The smell Of roast meat or the sight Of gravy
| made him sick ct his stomach. Like other
| calves and donkeys, he eschewed feshly food,
and chewed the cud of vegetable diet. Like
Nebuchadnezzar, he ate only grasses. His idea
| Of paradise was kitchen garden. His dream
of celestial happiness was to have asnout and
! root like pig.
However, times change and poor Greeley
| changed with them. He discovered that to
buy vegetables it was necessary to have money.
| Unfortunately, his vegetarian organ was not .
pecuniary success His wardrobe had dwin-
died down to a white hat we'll worn and a
white coat out at the elbows, and he was still in
debt to his tailor. His green grocer was not
green enough to allow him to run up another
bill. 1t became necessary, therefore, that he
should change the policy of his paper in order
to make it pay little. He dropped
vegetarianism and tried phalanxism. This
did not pay. He tried Fourrierism.
| This did not pay. He tried free love, and
seemed to like it.; but it did not pay He dab
bled in politics, but did not get an Office worth
having. He accidentally got hold of the Mat
| teson one thousand dollar draft; and was cleo
| trifed. He had at last found his vocation. He
| adopted it enthusiastically, and became
public jobber and a lobby member. Before
long he was, As Ex-Governor Hunt expresses it,
''more dangerous to his friends than to his
foes" The saying of old Joe Chandler, snake
friend every day, and use him, was contnu-
ally in poor Greeleys mouth He preached
this principle to his associates and practssd it
himself. He became an sbolitionist in order
to secure subscriptions to his paper, and re-
NAMED SO in order to foment q civil war and
grow rich upon its plumber. From vegeta-
rian poor Greeley was transformed into an
ogre, eating human fesh-into . ghoul, feast
ing upon corpses He riots in blood and
spoils
Deliberately, and with malice prepense,
that horrible monster Greeley" as he is call
ed upon the floor of Congress, has instigated
this dreadful civil war for years past, and care
fully nurtured and fostered the abolition senti-
ment, with which he hoped to poison and kill
the republic. Most persons suppose that de-
sire for gain has rendered him insane,
and that visions Of rich plantations, con-
iiscated from shareholders and bestow-
ed upon him. have tempted him on
in his ruinous path. Others regard him as
one possessed OF devil. Others still are of
opinion that he is in his senses, and is only a
bad man made worse by cupidity and disap-
pointment. We do not pretend to decide
which of these theories be correct; but it is
very little money by his wickedness. Like
the magician's gold, all of his ill-gotten gains
brought him ruin. He acknowledged in his
Tribune that he had lost money by the publ
cation Of his paper last year, aud he wrote
penny-a-line articles for weekly papers in or
der to make a living. The publication was
continued, therefore, only that the paper might
be used to secure Offices and contracts. 1t has
now no circulation and less advertising, and
lives only by illegitimats aid. Its fruit is
blood and spoils. Sam. Wilkeson, of the 1ri-
L,tne, acknowledged that he had kept Tribune
contract bureau at Washington. The official
correspondence Of Secretary Of War Cameron
shows that the Tribune Association has gun
contracts. In the following tables we have
