-Jewett, the Peacema ker, and the Colo
RADIO Gold Mines.
For some time past great deal has been
said about a Mr.. w. Cornell Jewett, who had
taken upon himself to visit Europe with the
avowed purpose of causing settlement of our
troubles by direct appeal to the Emperor Of
the French in favor of mediation. Mr.. Jewett's
bulletins from Liverpool, London and Paris were
duly published by some Of our contemporaries,
who seemed anxious to keep before the public
the name of the officious peacemaker, always
coupled with that of Colorado Territory
We were astonished at this pertinacious foisting
up Of that which we deemed most egregious
humbug; but we have now, through the
indiscretion Of the Tribune, obtained the key to
this mystery
!, We are all aware that seedy Greeley is i'm
bued with fanciful ideas as regards speculation;
shat, seeing his circulation on the wane and his
advertising list growing smaller and smaller,
he has attempted to raise the wind by resorting
to such schemes as the strawberry plant lottery
and the sale of gold pens; that he endeavored to
force up subscriptions for the Tribune by
publishing very poor translation of French
novels, which was to be sold cheap to
those who would take the journal. But
this scheme, like those preceding it, failed
and then in Greeley's hour Of anxiety
came Colorado Jewett, who took the seedy
philosopher into his confidence and made him a
convert to mediation. The antics of the Til
Dune upon that subject must have astonished
Others as we'll as ourselves For the informa-
Zion of the public at large, who, Of course,
never see the Tribune, wo will add that Greeley,
after publishing Colorado Jewetts letters ad-
dressed to Napoleon and Queen Victoria, pro-
Nuoed notes addressed to himself after Jewetts
return to this country. These letters, Of course,
.all show the Colorado peacsmaker as on terms OF
the greatest intimacy with the monarchs above
mentioned. Naturally some particle of this
salory il refectedIupon Greeley, If only through
Ahe condescension Of Jewett, who, after having
actua ally addressed letters to an Emperor and
sOueen, then correspondent with Greeley about
the same subject treated upon with those
drowned heads: Greeley sh2pla h s remained
content with this halo about him; but he has,
alas, too much of an eye to business, and 80 he
published, day or two ago, an article upon
Colorado" which has shorn Jewett Of his
1aurels and betrayed pretty piece of specula-
tlon.
The whole affair amounts to this: Colorado
Jewett and poor Greeley are concerned in q
pJewett went to Europe to dispose OF. To give
himself notoriety, the speculator assumed the
grand office of peace delegate, and, under
soover of the noise he made abroad in that
capacity, he has, as the Tribune informs Us,
Induced certain heavy capitalists Of the Old
World to enter into this affair" Poor Greeley

tai and energy to the development Of the
resources Of the new Territory after which
announcement, Of course, seedy Greeley has
. few. just few, shares OF Colorado gold
mines to dispose of at sacrifice. The public
will readily understand that after the coming
engineers have made their report the said
shares will be sabulously increased in value, as
they will then be backed by those "heavy
capitalists"
, We are inclined TO doubt whether there
will be a great rush made to secure Greeley
Shares; but we are no longer in doubt as TO
Colorado Jewetts real position. The article in
the Tribune has rudely torn from his shoulders
the lions skin Of the peacemaker, and exposed
50 the gaze Of all the long ears Of the braying
Specializing humbug. We hope that Greeley $
premature expose Of this affair will cause Jswett
To retire speedily to Colorado Territory. The
Powers OF Europe must deem US, indeed, far
gone In misery and woe when such champions
as these start up in our favor.
