The following paragraph from the Tribune ot yesterday, which we had missed in our daily glance at that paper, is called to our attention as we go to press : 1 he Ringhanipton liepubl'can has for some weeks endeavored to ordain a no tice from this journal by a series of fa' ricwiions which have not even the small "niieiit of plausibility. It has from day to dav pretended that it would support its charces bv letters which it has re pea ted ly threatened to produce but still withholds. In vain has its ally, the Even inn Fast, urged it to produce its evidence or confess itself mistaken Print your letter", or acknowledge your slanders! 1 his lournal has been "noticed very often bv Mr. Greeley, in the Tribune, during the year pa.-t; and the lesser trills of that paper, in assuming to notice" us, are guilty of an imperti nence, lhey are iikewi-e '.mty or a deception, u e asked them to deny, by lu'liontv. of Mr Greeley, or Seymour, or Hutchins; and they have not been able to do it. The Tribune is "not an organ," and does not of course, speak foi Mr. Greeley. Let us now see what it will sav if it can sav anything, for it- elf. We have pointed Mr. Greeley to Ids remedr. And the mere word of Mr. Greeley is not henceforth current with the American people.
