Good Advice.

The White Cloud Chief advises Republicans Il
discard the New York Tribune; and if they want
good Republican paper published at the metro
polls, to subscribe for the New York Times. The
| Chief says:
"lhe New York Times is now the most reliable
Republican paper in the East, and clubs should be
formed for 1t. 1t is as good paper the Tri-
buRe, has much reading, and is as cheap II
was the Times that first exposed the Tammany
frauds, and made vigorous fight against the
thievcing ring while the Tribune was donbting
denying, and endeavoring to cover up. The Tri-
bnRe was at length forced by public outcry to
take up the fight, but to the Times belongs the
credit Of breaking up the Tammany Ring. Send
your clubs to the New York Times, and support
an earnest Republican paper"
We heartily concur in this advice. 1t is about
time that the people of this country began to
understand that Horace Greeley is the most
unreliable and unsafe guide who ever undertook
to direct; that he is full of strange vagares all
surd whims, and visionary expedients; that he is
as selfish as he is impractcable and disOrgani-
Zing as he is violent. His whole history has been
long career of political mistakes, and he has
ever been willing to sacrifice party, principle or
anything else to crafty his personal hates ambi-
tion, or even whims He raised a row with his
party when Gen. Taylor was nominated; /; he wan
ted TO nominate that old fossil of the tertiary De-
riOd, Edward Bates, when Lincoln was first
chosen then he desired to recognize the Confede-
racy and accept secession as an ACCOMPLISHED
fact; then he wanted to pay the Southern States
iof tneIT stdNtS, tnen lie opposed MT. LIncOln's
denomination, wanting to substitute for him that
old icicle and renegade, Chase; and now he is
devotng all his energies to personal abuse of Gen.
Grant, because he has got into his head the mag
got of Presidential candidacy.
professed high-tariff advocate, his familiar
friends and cO-wOrkerx are the most ultra free
traders; pretended Republican, he writes letters
to the rebel blatherskite and blackgnard who
howis in the columns of the Lexington Caucasian
telling how to break mp the Republican party;
cheek-byjOw with all the sOre-heads of the coun-
try, the paper he controls is but the echo of their
personal disappOintments; denouncing the Ku-
klnx, he in the same breath denounces the man
who has done and is doing most to exterminate
that atrocious organization; and while he apollo
gizes for Mayor Hall, he emulates and in many
respects surpasses that most depraved journalist
Dana, in abusing the President and living about |
him. =
In brief, Mr.. Greeley and the Tribune, as they |
are at present, are utterly unworthy Of Republi-
can support or confidence. Mast, with his inimita-
BILE pencil, very truly tells "What He Knows |
About Horace Greeley" in picture published in |
HayP0s, wherein, in one place, the philosopher |
appears, humbly respectful, bowling before jeff |
Davis rs a bondsman, while in another he ia |
shown, furious with anger, throwing Tammany
mud at Gen. Grant. These illustrations are Der.
fect in themselves, and tell the story of Horace
Greeley and his fall better than it is possible for
words to do.-Atekisos Chanpien.
