Commenting on this outrage, the Union
observes: The Tribune advocates nothing
now which it did not advocate twelve
months ago. Yet, when Mr.. Greeley at
tempts to give practical effect to the theory
of reconciliation, which he has SO ably
urged since the close of the war, the hounds
of the Administration are turned loose up
on him, not only to detame bis character,
but to ruin his business.
