Many Of the letters Mggest equally potent
appeals to poor Greeley's sensibilities. The
What Is IT." does not withhold it's cent Ju-
Illus Caesar Hannibal says:-"At meeting held
last night by charitable society Of oolored
men, collection was taken for the benefit of
the fund which you have magnanimously opened
for our friend, the Hon. Massa Greeley. This
collection precisely expresses our sympathy for
and estimation Of him IS brother and gentle
man, and enclose you the whole amount col
lected-one cent" A "nigger wench" contri-
butes two cents for poor Greeley, son condi-
ton that he applies one-half of the amount to
raise his niger army and the other half for
pair of red pants for himself" "a contraband"
is sorry "to see an old and valued friend re-
curing public assistance, but happy to OBJ.
serve his case is receiving generous sympathy.
Please forward best wishes to poor Greeley
and the enclosed card, good for one cent at all
respectable Dutch groceries" There is graft
tude for past favors. The colored race does
not forget poor Greeley. Apropos Of the
Connecticut election comes = contribution
from James H. Daily, Of the Fourth Connecticut
Volunteers, who. writes:-sI fully concur in
feeling compassion for the poor old man. But
OH how happy would we be were this niger
wOrshipper hunted from the face of Gods earth
along with his followers" Tommy 0. Earle
says:-"Yesterday my writing master set me
the following copy:-'Faith, Hope and Charity;
but the greatest of these is Charity'-which put
me in mind of poor old Greeley" and then
asks, "Please tell me if every boy in this csun-
try gives poor Greeley a cent how rich will he
be?' That depends upon how many boys there
are in the country, Tommy; but poor Greeley
is too insane man ever to be very rich. "A.
B. c." writes-"Enclosed please find two three
cent pieces, won yesterday from lady by
matching heads and tails devote them to
the Poor Greeley Fund May this act of charity
be accepted as an offset to my wicked act Of
gambling" Charity covers many sins, and
poor Greeley, who is himself sort of gambler,
and used to have gift enterprise and strawberry
lotteries attached to his weakly Tribune, will
dent suggests that the fund shall be devoted "to
the purchase Of an India rubber niger baby to
solace the lonely hours Of poor Grseley's second
childhood" I'D. C. w." desires to prolong
poor Greeleys existence Gin order that he may
witness the election of General Mcclellan to
the Presidency in 1864" Five gentlemen con-
tribute each cent to buy a comb for poor
Greeley The proprietor of hotel corner Of
Prince and Thompson streets offers poor
Greeley hot coffee and an old white hat. f..
s. b., corner Of Twenty-third street and
Eighth avenue sends a cent "to provide poor
Greeley with soap to wash his bedimmsd coun-
tenance." A young lady contributes piece of
silver and the remark:-'If your numerous
friends will each send poor Greeley one cent,
he will soon be able to retire from public life
"a consummaton devoutly to be wished"
Forgetful that "the quality of mercy is not
strained" another benevolent person sends
poor Greeley two milk tickets. The numerous
other letters We have no space even to mention:
bnt we have sufficiently demonstrated that this
charitable movement is most popular. In fact,
the contributions are now so large that we must
decline taking charge Of any more. Poor Gree
ley may receive the amount collected by call
ing at our Office but we must advise our read
ers to send their donations directly to the Tri.
bone establishment hereafter. Poor Greeley has
had SO much experience with Kansas and Irish
Relief Funds that he will know just how to
dispose Of the money.
