The Detroit Advertiser very justly attacks poor
Greeley as political nuisance" TO this poor
Greeley replies that elf the editor OF the Adver-
tiser aforesaid viii be good enough to return the
two hundred dollars he borrowed (or was it
begged7 Of US to establish hmselfin said paper.
he shall be welcome to say what he pleases of us
thereafter This is all very well; but the editor
of the Advertiser should send the money TO us.
not TO poor Greeley. We have a fund in charge
for the settlement Of poor Greeleys pecuniary
deinquencies. and this two hundred dollars viii
assist materially in increasing the fund. Some
time ago poor Greeley collected an Irish relief
fund. which he refuses 10 account fJr or to refund
to the committee who are endeavoring to relieve
Ireland now. This two hundred dollars will
help pay off that debt. and so the editor OF the
Advertiser should transmit il to Us forthwith.
Greeley 8 other creditors, if he have any, ought
to adopt the same course: for if the Tribune phi
losopher once gets hold Of their money it will 90
where the Irish fund and the Kansas fund have
gone. and Heaven only knows what may become
ofit.-lN. Y Herald,
