Poor GREEIEY IN CORRESPONDENTS WITH THE
REBEIs.-Poor Greeley has been caught in q
correspondence with Mr.. John l.. O'Sullivan, q
notorious rebel agent in Europe 1t turns out
that Greeley is as great disunionist as O'Sul-
Ivan, only from different motive. O'Sullivan
goes for dsunion to save slavery; Greeley goes
for disunion to destroy slavery. Therefore
Greeley says that it is very possible that the
Union may be divided, but that he shall rejoice,
whether this division happens or not, because
abolitionism is victorious. No traitor could say
more than this.

FAIR PLAY IS JEwEL.-A poor drunken
painter, named Gregory, was arrested few
days ago, charged with denouncing the Presi-
dent, and, in spite of his denials Of the charge,
he was forced to take the oath of allegiance, and
then compelled either to 60 to Fort Lafayette
or enlist; and he preferred the latter alterna-
tive. Now, Wendell Phillips, Beecher, in
the Independent, and Greeley, in the Tribune,
also openly denounce the President Will the
authorities see to it that they are Immediately
treated as Gregory was! Fair play is jewel.
