from the Commercial Advertiser, Aug III
Some days slnce 1t was playfuy stated III this pa.
Albany in April, q year ago, Mr.. Greeley went there
in the Vanderbilt interest," ana took part against
being classed as a lobby man, in which capacity he
appeared on the occasion referred TO, and there
upon INDUCED in the language Of lll,bred people,
whose universal argument Is, "YOu lle you id
scoundreh" This style of argument is certainly
more becoming to hort-haired boy OF Mackere-
vile than to the editor OF the Tribune, and the
leader OF the high morality and perfumed respecta-
bllty OF that paper. M. Greeley cannot hope to
throw dust In peoples eyes and escape the
odium Of LOBBY agent by flourish OF rams
horns that 1T Is q wholesale fabrication" ana
the author "a self-procaimed arn and the COM
less circulation" This old dodge OF the thief joining
in the cry OF the pursuers stop thef' wont do Mr..
Greeley the writer Of this ar ticle can show before
any court aud jury IN the country the connection OF
yourself and the Tribune with many Of the most cor
rupt schemes that ever disgraced the Legislature.
and submit the evidence Of senator Howard, OF
Michigan, to snow that Mr.. Greeley was In the en-
pHs IL s Wng a m
Senator Howard having been charged by the tribune
with killing General Fremonts Pacific Railroad bull,
writes to that paper from Detroit, Iepelling the
charge, In which he states:-
also, toward the close Of the last session, waited
upon BY M Greeley to know what were the objections to
Mr.. Greeley went to Washington in the "Fremont
INTEREST," as he went to Albany in the Vanderbilt
enterprise" and Mr.. Greeley as public man. ia in-
terested in all great public improvements just as he
was some years ago in the Broadway Railroad bill,
which was known as the Ward and Camp machine,
particular friends OF Mr. Greeley, also In the Wharf
and Pier BILL In which his partner, Mr.. Sinclair held
large interest, and contributed his portion OF the
expense to buy the lobby and corrupt the Legisla-
ture. We might add dozen more cases to show
Mr.. Greeley an active and interested party in
Greeley viii tell US he was at Albany and
Washington in the capacity OF Q man taking a
deep interest In every great public improvement.
This is the dodge OF every scamp when found In bad
company. But few men ever embarked In any
wicKedness that they did not do from conscien-
tious motives. We repeat, Mr.. Greeley can no more
escape from the odum OF being o lobby agent than
Nessus could escape from his poisoned shirt. We
shall! stick as close to him as the aforesaid Shirt We
shall fasten It TO him, not by the evidence Of sef
proclaimed iar" but by the testimony OF his radical
friends In the state Senate, BY the editors OF the
leading radical organs OF the State, by the promi
nent radicals OF the party who were at Albany when
he visited the capital as vanderbiits agent TO 1nu
ence certain Senators. These charges are specific
enough We u,aan tn atanh ny thsm. We shall
continue to refterate them. We shall persist IN
showing that Greeley Is an imposter, q cheat and
fraud upon the unsophisticated people OF the
