WARREN, Pa., Sept. 27, 1872. With a desire to test the sincerity of the welcome Mr. Greeley is receiving all along this western border of Pennsylvania I boarded his train at Titusville yesterdsy. Our first stopping place was A large crowd was gathered at the depot, and as the train ran slowly into the station there Srose one spontaneous cheer. The “next Presi- dent of the United States” appeared, in response to the welcome he received, and made a short it is the great fight is in Pennsylvania. It is truly the “Keystone State.” The events of the past fort- night—the Curtin letter, Schurz at Pittsburg and Mr. Greeley’s tour through the State—have done Republicanism in Western Pennsyl- ‘vania, while it still has some followers, is in the minority.

Curtin Discusses Pennsylvania Politics and Ex- poses the Ring—He is Silent on National Is- sues and Expresses Some Respect for Hartranft as ® Soldier. BELLEFONTE, Pa., Sept. 28, 1872. The neighbors and personal friends of the great war Governor, Hon. Andrew G. Curtin, turned eut to the number of about 5,000 this evening to ex- tend a real old-fashioned Pennsylvania welcome to her favorite son. The demonstration was, to a certain extent, of a political nature, as testifying his neighbors’ appreciation of his recent letter avowing his indorsement of the liberal cause in this State. It was promised that he would explain his reasons for the step he has taken, and this, with the personal regard in which he is held all over the State, brought together this large crowd of people. Bellefonte proper is a town of 2,600 in- habitants. The towns of Lock Haven and Clear- field and Tyrone and the rural districts for miles added their quota to the stream of humanity that flowed into the beautiful little village this even- in honor of M ae OUR ANDY. They came in wagons and on horseback—the sturdy yeomanry, with their families, and John and Maria loitering along the road, in the glory of new store clothes and in the first flush of those emotions that come to all the Johns and Marias in the world at bank in Pittsburg.

It was fortune not to have their friendship, When I was home I found what ticker in Engiand on By ver was nominated; I made up my mind then that the ticket ‘might be withdrawn, as there seemed to be some arrangement to effect that purpose, and I oped it would be; and I have no Hesitation in to-night if such @ man as Mr. Ketcham or Colonel Jordan, who Were both candidates, had been nominated at rg I would not bein your presence to-night; but if they choose to take 8 man from that Penn- sylvania asury combination or ring I would be imsensible to the gratitude and false to the trust reposed in me I dared to declare myself in favor of it.

Ihave no doubt that to-night I stand In he presence of my friends and ne! who ‘would not have been here if I did not declare these statements, Ihave no doubt that if I could look over this crowd and could see it, I would note the absence mare a my old friends. (Laughter and a Voice, ‘There’s plenty of new ones in their places.) I accord to every citizen the right to express his sentiments and exer- cise the highest, noblest and most sacred duty which an American citizen performs, that of exercisi the duty of su casting of his ballot. And has it come to this when @ man chooses to cast his ballot from an least once in life. The demonstration was in the nature of an old-fashioned barbecue—enthusiastic, honest, sincere—and Governor Curtin was plainly affected by the spontaniety of the meeting and the evidences of the regard in which he is held by those who know him best. The crowd having gathered in the rear of the Court House, and the torch bear- ers having distributod themselves about the grounds, Mr. Curtin was driven up to the grand stand, Ashe alighted from his carriage one spon- taneous, enthusastic YELL OF WELCOME arose in the air. The excitement having in a measure subsided, Hon. L, A. Mackey advanced to the front of the grand stand and in a fitting speech of welcome introduced Mr. Curtin to his audience. The ex-Governor advanced to the frcnt amid the most enthusiastic applause. He was visibly af- fected, and it was some moments ’ere he could master his emotions suficiently. He is still weak, and his speech was necessarily brief, but was suf- ficiently explanatory in the estimation of his hearers, if their frequent hearty applause may be accepted as an indication of their feelings. Mr. Curtin said :— You see, my friends and neighbors, that Iam glad to see you. Arresidence ino distant and for- eign country, of different associations and political organizations, so tar from weakening my affection for my native country and my admiration of its free and generous institucions, has strengthened and confirmed them. I return home after an ab- sence of three years and a half, separated from all the political asperities which afvide men and coun- trymen too often in this country, feeling none of those violent opinions which excite men in @ litical contest such as I now find engag- ing the people of my country. Away from the newspapers and the party drill, Ihave not im- bibed that flerce political hatred, for it is only po- litical hatred which seems to have inspired parties and men in the United States. Why, it is strange toaman absent so long from his country to find thie iar, traitor, modest words in the political literature’ of the country. Traitor is a common word, and a man who independently in this coun- try attempts what he believes to be right must be denounced. My fellow citizens, Ilong acted with the party called republican. I received its honors. I discharged its duties. I tried to discharge my duty. (Applause.) It was the pleasure of the peo le of this State to lift me to the position of their fhest honor in the years, lon; years of peering, when the country was torn an convulsed by civil war. I witnessed that struggle with regret. I did not measure its magnitude, nor did I understand its full consequences. I was for my government intact, and did not believe that any State or combination of States had a right to secede from the Union; certainly that they had no nt to plunge this country into a civil war. en the war was over I belonged to that class of men in the republican party who belleved.in general amnesty and the bal- ot. What could we do? Could we kiil all the men in the rebellion, or could we take them back? (A voice, ‘fake them back.) The popular sentiment of the best statesmen in the id was that we should take them back into the fellowship of the Union and if they rebelled again teach them again that we could — them to obey the laws, I believed at ‘that. time and. belleve “now that we could have had peace throughout the land if a general aes 4 could have been pro- claimed and the ballot with it. Cee) My fellow citizens, the war came on through the tain Southern politicians who sup- ted a doctrine commonly called States rights. ow I fear, my fellow citizens, that the pendulum has swung too far in the other direct renee plause)—and while we had id reason to com} nt ofthe insidious doctrine of States rights we have also a just right to complain that there 1s too much centralization of government just now, overlooking the 1% rights of the States. I come jw to of Pennsylvania. My nds and bors, all your rights of property, all your its of personal liberty are found protected in the government of the State. You find your rights, our interests protected in the government ot no nel; rig! tate. Now, I am _ told—nay, I was told in £ngland—that the State of Pennsyiva- nia must elect’ a ticket put into the fleld because it affected the election of a Presi- dent. I hold to no such doctrine. I would not humiliate tat by such adoctrine. I would preserve to the States all the rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, and would accord to the national government all the ear oe to it by that instrument. The protection of the people of Pennsylvania and the preservation of the purity of their government is a question for themselves, in which other States have comparatively little interest, and which has no connection with na- tional politics. Now, my fellow citizens, I have de- clared in a letter recently written and which has given offence to some of my political friends, that I would not support ‘the ticket Bas in nomination last Spring and will support for jovernor Charles R. Buckalew. (Applause.) I know Mr. Buckalew well, have known him for over twenty years, He made his remarks upon the legislation and constitution of the State. I have differed with him in political opinions ana have acted with party in opposition to bis views; have never received his support for an office in my life. I know here a pure, honest man. (Applause) Now, my fellow citizens, I have nothing to say inst General Hartranft. He was a gallant soldier and served his countr faithtully; but in an evil hour, in his ambi- tion, he became a candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, If he had been Governor for six years he would not be quite so ambitious forthe honor. (Laughter.) He connected himself with @ ring surrounding the Comey Met the State, not of recent date. It has been in full power for six years, The present Gevernor of Pennsylvania ‘was nominated and elected by the influence of this same ring. It has been there ever since. It then was formed, and @ combination made to elect the Governor and to provide all the machinery by which they could reach every county in the State, where they could control @ vote and return their chief to the United States Senate. It is said all this is fair. How fair? General Irwin, of Laine’ mn gut. was six irs Comm: of nnsyivania, He held that office during the war. I mever heard any ob- jections made to the discharge of his Official duties while in that office, I never heard him charged with malfeasance in office. There never was any combination for Plunder around him. I know in the Common. Wealth of Pennsylvania no man on whose word I could rely with more steadfast belief than that of General Irwin. You read his statement. He says that when he was elected State Treasurer and Mr. Scott was elected Senator and a new election was to be held the coming Winter, he was waited upon by certain individuals, and they pro- frees to him that they would re-elect him to oifice f he would take out of the Treasury $148,000 balance due on the amount expended on the election of Mr. Scott. Now, m! ends, Mr. Scott was no party to that. I believe Mr. S¢ott to be an honest man, but he was selected by this ring, and they expended money. General Ir- win refused their request, and he was turned out of office and Mr. Robert W. Mackey elected. Now, my friends, Mr, Robert W. Mackey was a teller ip honest conviction thatit is his duty to castit in for the honest men and against the ring surrounding the Treasury of the State and elbow deep in it, that he 1s to be denounced? Ihave no doubt that the word “traitor” will be freely used. Traitor to what? To his country? No; to party. What party? We all claim—democrats claim and republicans claim on the other side—they are both parties of purity; and separated from all this, I come here after an absence of four years and 4 half without feeling any of this emotion. I look over the field and am prepared next Tuesday week to cast jo allot against the candidate of that Ring. It is id, my friends, if you vote for Buckalew you vote for traitors; you will vote for rebel sympathizers; you will vote for men who held back during the war. Ihave heard that be- fore, my friends. The war was closed by the cour- age of the soldiers, not »y statesmen, not by Generals, They did their d grky but we sustained our government, maintained its integrity by the force courage and power of the men who carried the musket and held the sabre. Remember, my friends, it is not generals, colonels, captains, or hen joe that preserved to usthis heritage of liberty and equality which we receivea from our ances- tors. We owe it to the common soldiers. Where ishe? He is not elevated. He served his country faithful and he is now serving the country by his lal We tind that when the war closed men who clamored most that rebels should be shot were men who surrounded camps, who were quartermasters by pro- fession, who bought cattle and horses. I could name some of them to you to-night. I could tell you the names of some who fattened on army contracts. Now they cali @ man who dares to assert his independence and right as an American citizen a traitor. And, my friends, I know that—(laughter)—when the country was bleeding at every pore when every household had lost its favorites, when there was blood upon every doorsills, when the graves of our brave men were in every eae Od n the State, when every breast blazed wit! enthusiasm, and when soldier to save his govern- ment marched into the jaws of death, these men furnished camps, with horses, oats and hay, and tattened, and trey were for hanging the rebels. Of all the men engaged in the roar the most forgivin; men were those who fought it out. We all advise men to go to the war. U did it with others. The soldier forgave and forgot; the real soldier, not the sham soldier. The real soldier soon for- got his injuries, and, with a desire to make this country any voy to return to friend- ship for those warring tates, to give us peace— heaven-born and blessed peace—and never again return to flerce struggle and sectional hate. The ex-Governor referred briefly to the importa- tion of negroes into this State for voting purposes, and ended by urging on his hearers the necessity of watching these freedmen who leave the district ofColumbia to work on Senator Cameron’s rail- road. Mr. Curtin did not foreshadow his policy with re- gard to his future action on national questions. POLITICAL HEADQUARTERS. Beyond the ordinary routine duties no business was transacted at the various political headquar- ters yesterday, and no information of importance received. The Greeley committees are delighted with the success of their candidate's Western trip. His habit of expressing his views on all occasions and on every subject, without reference to expe- diency, has been a constant bugbear to some of the political managers, who freely expressed their opinion that he should not be allowed to go about without a keeper, Their ideas have ch: of late, and they now insist that ‘the modern Frank- lin” is as discreet as wise and versatile. He has uttered no one thing that would have been better upsaid, and it is claimed that the trip has had a most admirable effect. Governor English, of Connecticut, visited the Liberal Headquarters during the » bringing favorable accounts from his State, The following list of visitors for the day at Demo- cratic Headquarters is recorded:—Gideon J.

Rich- ard J. Morrison, of the Twentieth ward, was elected temporary chairman and M. J. Drummond tempo- rary secretary. A constitution was adopted, and resolutions were ed endorsing Greeley and Brown, Kernan and Depew. The League then ad- journed to meet on Thursday next, at Masonic Hall.

Samuel Hooper has been renominated for Con- gress from the Fourth district of Massachusetts, REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION IN JERSEY, The republicans of the North New Jersey Con- gressional district met in convention on Friday and nominated Frederick A, Potts, of Hunterdon, for Congress, The democratic nominee is Robert Hamilton, This district is largely democratic. POLITIOAL CAMPAIGN NOTES, Tiinois gave 61,150 majority for Grant in 1868. The Greeleyites had better not count on Illinois, The Wheeling Register says West Virginia will give ten thousand majority for the Greeley electoral ucket. The Indiana Sentinel thinks the State will give Greeley 20,000 ‘majority. In 1868 it gave Grant 11,500 majority. There are seventy-four political newspapers in Arkansas, sixty-four of which support: Greeley and ten are for Grant. The principles for which the two parties are now contending, more thaa ever before, are the five loaves and two fishes. The only Grant candidate in West Virginia was J. Belsben, Walker, who ran for Congres He was defeated by nearly three thousand majority.

A Greeley Gathering Among the Cheese Warehouses of Chambers Street. At two o’clock yesterday afternoon a meeting was organized in Chambers street, between West Broadway and Greenwich street, and opposite the Police precinct station house, and speeches were then and there delivered to the effect that Horace Greeley, of Chappaqua, was the first, last and only desirable candidate for the Presidency of the United States. A banuer was raised and at two o'clock the tooting of half a dozen horns allayed the anxiety of passers by as to the cause and effect of the gathering. Grafulla’s band had been pre- viously announced, and the half dozen captured street musicians endeavored to preserve an air of dignity. At precisely three o’clock the speakers, who had arrived a few moments previous, came forward upon the stand. ‘There were thirty-six Vice-Presidents announced and a hundred held in reserve. The President's name was D. W. C. Stand/ord. ‘The first speaker was Col. F. A. Seaver, who was followed by General Barnum in a speech that elicited shouts of applause from the crowd gath- ered in the street, He referred particularly to the battles in which he had been wounded, and spoke of his gallant Adjutant, Captain Oliver T. May, in glowing terms, to exemplify the fact that those approaching nearest to the rank and file deserved at times the greatest honor. Then he said:—‘‘l, as a soldier, dare criticise the campaigns of the army, and I, as a soldier, say that no one man won them. Some of the most brilliant battles ot the war were won by the rank and file in spite of their generals.’ ‘The speaker concluded with an eloquent tribute to the services to free- dom and a common liberty that have been rendered by Horace Greeley. Colonel J. R. Fellows followed and Hon. James Brooks deliverea the following speech :— SPEECH OF HON. JAMES BROOKS. Mercuants or New Yorx—The present administration of the government is commercial, apti-trade and commerce, anti-New York, and hence nothing is more surprising than to find any’New York merchant counsel- ling its prolongation. “Look at yonder river (the Hudson), see the ian, Swedish 4—but where, oh, where are'the Stars save on your coasting craft?

This is the cra of rags, of rag money and rag barons, and there is no sign held out by the men in power that they will ever re- store to use the constitutional currency of our country, or that coin with which your merchants deal with the world. We buy from abroad with gold, but pay in depre- ciated paper here at home. The fluctuations in gold are such that almost every merchant necessarily exacts from his customer a difference of trom between twenty and twenty-five per cent in paper to prepare tor these fluctu- ations, no matter it the premium is but ten or twelve per cent on the gold. We are forced to pay at the Custom House ‘all in gold, when we receive only paper. Our reenbacks are’ promises to pay, — witl such ies on their backs that the government even will not receive them for dues, or, in other words, the people are put off with the rags and the gov- ernment monopolizes the gold. Hence, as this Is necessarily made the dearest market to sell in, our man- wlactured exports to Europe and Ania and Airica have nearly all vanished since 1860, save in such articles as sewing machines, firearms and agricultural implements, where American mechanism overrides all other work: men, American cottons are now scarcely seen in China or Japan, and American woollens are nowhere seen abroad. Our exports of boots and shoes, of carriages and. furniture, our manufactures of copper rass and o! innumerable smaller articles are now all lost, while all we have to export is what other countries cannot pro- duce in quantities, such as petroleum, cotton and other agricultural produce, cheaper here than elsewhere, often because our lands are 90 cheap and their lands are #0 dear. ‘We have been grinding down for four years past our merchants and others with an unnecessary taxation of over one hundred million dollars per #0) wake this generation, in its poverty after the éivil war, hurry off the payment of a national debt which ought to be paid when this country has had repose, or it is richer than now, or when immigration has made it more popu- lous, That unnecessary wilful taxation I have done iny best in Congress for tour years past to cut down, and by the aid of others have succeeded only in part, for now, after all the reduction, the surplus {# from fitty to seventy-five millions more than the Treasury needa. It was hard work to get off the tax on savings banks deposits and on gas, taxes for three years past whoily unnecessary. The Secretary of the Treasury, in conference committee, resisted both houses of Congress in taking off the ‘sta bank checks, both of which are wilfully wholly unnecessary for the support of government, It is very doubtful yet whether we at all reduced the millions upon millions how collected at the customs; certainly we did not it we exclude tea and coffee from the calculation. Meanwhile, from normnous heavy taxes continued upon iron and steel and all the manufactures therefrom we have left the manufacturers thereof to td millions of profit, which profits come about all from the farmers who produce corn, wheat, oats, pork, beef, &c., or from the merchants who bring those products to markets over Failroads of steel and iron, which, belng doubled in price by unnecessary taxation, necessarily double the cost of transportation alike to the merchant, who buys and sells, and to the farmer, who produces, ‘A great, metropolitan city like this, Americans, but of Englishmen, Scotchmen, Irishmen, Germans, Frenchmen, Spanish Americans, &c., is en- titied to the treest sort'of a trade that the necessary rev- enues of the Treasury will permit.

Strange, then, I say, that any New York merchant should vote for the pérpetuation of an administration which not only drives off our flag from the ocean, and lessens our exports, enhances the cost of transportation and cripples our commerce in every’ way, but which, all the while it is doing this, keeps itself clothed in pecuma- Ty ragsand rag money. True, as {s well said, we have not been ruined; nothing can ruin the American Beanie, not even civil war, pestilence nor famine, for God has blessed our great, young and fresh country with lands and climes beyond the power of man to ruin; bt can eripple, has crippled us, di longed, , destroy us.

HIS WELCOME BACK. Mr. Greeley left Allentown at half-past eight o'clock yesterday morning for home. The last day of the tour, pleasant as it had been, was a wel- come one to all parties, The continuous speaking had in no wise impaired the health or voice of the Philosopher; but the wear and tear of continued travelling and unending ovations had begun to tel upon the whole party, and the last day in the Ruby’ Palace car was hatled with genuine delight. Gov- ernor Walker left the party at Allentown, return- ng to his home in Virginia. Easton station was reached at a quarter past nine, and here a very CORDIAL OVATION awaited the Presidential candidate. Carriages were p.ovided, in which the Philosopher was driven accompanied bya fife and drum and a shouting procession, to the Franklin House, from the bal- cony of which he made the following speech :— FELLOW Crtizens—I understand that a gentle- man who 1s a candidate for your suffrages, in an address in this borough not long ago, asserted that if I were to be chosen President all the furnace fires of the Lehigh Valley would speedily be pat ont. Now, fellow citizens, it seems to me incredible that such @ statement should be made, That I am a protectionist all men know; but that [ would not veto any bill fairly Pree by the Congress of the United States modii ving or Cag he the tarif is lo not belie gov- certain! true, in ernmen by selfish mings; but 1 be- Meve just as little in government by the one-man power. I don’t believe in govern- ment by vetoes. The veto power of @ President is not given to him to enable him to reject every bill great emergencies when corrupti 1083 ne would not stand the friends, I believe in eg Presidents, and I si na bill which hada fair majority in Congress, although in my judgment it wag not accordant with public policy—with the wiser policy. That is my position, iow, then, turn to the plat- form of the Cincinnati and Baltimore Con- ventions and see what we say on the subject of tariffs, We say that there is an honest difference of opinion on this question, and that each citizen shall be at liberty to vote for members of Congress in accordance with his own convic- tions, and that that majority in Congress, constitu- tionally ascertained and determined, shall rule. Do 72 believe in government by minorities? I do not; cannot. I believe that the people’s will, freely expressed, ought to prevail, and so far as I am con- cerned it shall prevail. Now, fellow citizens, 1s there one man so unintelligent as not to know that the present prosperity of the iron interests of this country depends not at all on tariff, but the fact that all over the worldiron is in great demand, and 1s selling at prices neurly double those of two or three years ago? The world is iron hungry; the world is calling for iron and still more iron—to build railroads, to lay gas pipes and sewer pipes, and for building houses, and for ten thousand uses never before dreamed of inguiry. I tell you, tion by Congress and no! of. Iron is very high all countries, those which have free trade as well as those which have protection, and is high because more is wanted than can be produced. It is probable that for five or even ten years to come there will be so little iron in the world that the prices will be above the cost of making it, here and everywhere, just like corn, just like any other product. When there is lesa corn than the public needs the farmer raises his prices and nobody complains of it. ‘There is less iron in the world than anybody needs. Conse- quently the price nas ee Up, Not because of the tariff, butin all countries which have free trade as well, and is certain to remain high for a considera- ble number of years. In time, doubtless, produc- tion will overtake consumption, but the building of furnaces is an expensive and slow pro- cess, and the world cannot be provided with 80 much iron as it wants probably for years to come, The price, then, is high not because ot com- binations between producers, though that may in a time of scarcity have effect; not because of tariffs, though they have had their influence. It was my judgment when the warclosed that a large duty on iron—say $10 per ton—would have led to a rapid duplication of furnaces, and in a time like the present would have secured cheaper tron than now. I believe ifthe duty had been fixed at $10 Per ton at the close of the war, and remained there, we should have had double our present number of furnaces and been supplying ourselves with jron very much cheaper than we can now get it or could get if the tariff were entirely abolished. Such is m tion very plainly stated. You under- stan and I tell you it is notin the power of all the legislation on earth to put out the furnace fires of the Lehigh Valley of Penn- for many years to come. According to all human probability there will be more iron wanted than all the furnaces on earth can furnish, and conse- juently @ price for iron above the cost of making it for years to come, whatever may be the legisla- tion of this or any other country. Now, then, a few words more generally. Every attempt is making to divert the attention of the eo) le from the real issues of the canvass. I find them set forth in the rival platforms. Take them up. Study them. A great deal is poore in each, but judge for yourselves which of these platforms is best deserving of your approval and su: rt. Men are nothing, principles are everything. I am @ believer in the real, not a civil ser- vice reform, I believe there is urgent need that the offices of the country shall be filled with reference to copants and integrity, and not with reference to political ends. at have we now? Both pee firm the necessity of a real reform in our civil service. Both platforms ; therefore, that the present condition of civil Ice ig most id unsatisfactory. ‘But nO Presi. im rect an one to the root of the evi dent ought to be re-elected while in office.

Judge me by my fs latform, and act as your patriotism and your convictions Of} public interest and public duty shall dictate, At the conclusion the Sage crossed in @ carriage to the other side of the Delaware River, and again stood on the certain soil of New Jersey. His clal train was transferred to the Morris and asex Railroad, and on this route he continued his journey to New York, AT MORRISTOWN Governor Randolph came aboard and assumed direction of affairs, which at once turned into a straight current. The crowd was out, wild and vocif- erous at this place, and Mr. Greeley made to them the following speech :— FELLOW CitizeNs—I have, as you know, been. for several days travelling and speaking through the Middle States of our country. I have tried, in very simple Lg Se and feclingiy a3 I might, to dis- abuse the public mind of false impressions with re- gard to the issues involved in the canvass, and to resent the true issues as plainly as I might. ether I have done good or ill others may judge. Suffice it to say, Ihave done my best. Now, then, all that remains to be satd is this:—You are strong friends of reform. You are confident, zealous, earn- est. I beseech you to believe that the people west of you for @ thousand miles believe and act as you do. I don’t think it pos- sible that Charles R. Buckalew can be deteated for Governor of Pennsylvania by anything like an honest vote. It must be a fraudulent vote— one purchased—that defeats him, if any; and I think that they cannot. Ohio I was surprised to find stronger than I expected. I believed there would be discord between the elements new! brought ther in the cause of reconciliation an: reform. I found none— pe 2] Pree 8 jealousy, scarcely anything but the most cordial feeling; an Tam quite certain that to-day Ohio 1s on our sid and not against us, Ifshe be brought to pronounce inst us the work must be done after wl and money must do it.

Then the train moved away again, and at a few minutes after three arrived at the Barclay street ferry in Hoboken. THE ARRIVAL AT HOBOKEN, At half-past two o’clock a number of Mr. Gree- ley’s friends had gathered at the Hoboken depot of the Morris and Essex Railroad to await his arri- val from his Western tour. Among th several of his most intimate acquaintan mirers, who had formed themselves into an advance ‘uard to welcome hemes of of Chappaqua home. ‘Telegrams were trequently feceived at the lee from the different places along the road reco 4 the progress of the travellers. At last the train rumbled into the mckety depot, and the Philoso- pher, with his traditional white hat, was seen with his back to a window in the “Ruby” palace car in conversation with a party of gentlemen. A minute later he wasseen accompanied by the mem- bers of the metropolitan press who had been his companions on his long trip. He looked well and his face bore @ pleasant smile, as if he felt his mis- sion for the present of speechmaking was over, and that @ visit to his well loved Chappaqua was near at hand, with its smiling giades and crystal foun- tains, where he could repose for a while before re-entering upon his at political fight. He was scrupulously well dressed and bore no evidence of bem travel-stained. Raising his white hat, he courteously bowed to his frients on the platform and rapidly made his way to the ferryboat, leaning on the arm of ex-Governor Ran- dolph, of New Jersey. In the large waiting room of the ferry house @ crowd of spectators, who had been anxiously eveiting his arrival, rushed on to tue boat, cheering as they went, and followed the Sage into the ladies’ cabin. No sooner was he seated than the most enthusiastic hand-shaking commenced, one notably prolonged and hearty wrench being given by Mr. Chase, the Superintend- ent of the Hoboken Ferry Cempany. AN AMUSING CONVERSATION, By the side of Mr. Greeley sat a very beautiful lady, accompanied by her husband. e Worse half introduced himself to Mr. Greeley as follows, alter shaking hands m very happy to see you looking so Well, sir, and am glad that your political star looks so bright.’ The SAGE—I am much obliged to you, sir, for your good will, The STRANGER—I remember you, Mr. Greeley, thirteen years ago, when you arrived at San Fran- cisco during the Fremont campaign, and I remem- ber you would not make us a speech till you had been to your hotel and had washed off the dust you had accumulated in travelling. Mr. GREELEY, smiling—Well, you must admit yout Californta dust is very thick and penetrating. STRANGER—We should like to see you in our midst again. Mr. GREELBY—I have long had a great desire to ppmiorer and I hope ere long to find my way out ere. Here the crowd of insatiate hand-shakers became denser and denser, and Mr. Greeley’s hand was grasped by all degrees of tension, from the modest nd subdued shake of a lady's hand, gloved with a small No. 6, down to the enthusiastic grip of secant lew Jersey farmer. To one and all the Philosopher threw In a kindly smile, and more than one el voter came sway saying:—“He'll do; Horace shall have my vote.” The women folks, seeing the dense crowd which had formed around Mr. Greeley, said :—‘They will suffocate the poor man.” Mean- while Barclay street ferry was reached, where Gen- eral Cochrane and Mr. Sinclair, of the , and fren other friends were found waiting to welcome im home. THE SCENE AT BARCLAY STREET FERRY. AS soon as he stepped on to the bridge at the ferry house at Barclay street deafening cheers were heard. ‘Hurrah for Greeley|’? was shouted by countless throats, till their owners were hoarse. ‘The crowd must at least have numbered two thou- sand people, and although shouts were heard of “A speech, @ speech,” the Philosopher pursued the even tenor of his WAY, hrough | the surging mass of humanity. lere and there hisses were heard and counter cheers for Grant; but these manifestations tyra before the immense: enthusiasm which the sight of the Sage produced. Outside the ferry house a carriage was found wait- ing for Mr. Greeley, into which he nimbly sprang, accompanied by General Cochrane and Mr. Sin- clair, and drove off to the residence of Dr. Byres, after bowing to the large crowd of huzzaing ad- Mirers who surrounded the elegant coupé. AT THE LINCOLN ‘CLUB. It was generally understood among the members. at the Liberal Republican Headquarters that Mr. Greeley would pay a visit on the evening of his arrival in this city to the Spingler House, there to: receive an ovation, When Mr. Greeley reached town he sent word by General Cochrane that he would be happy to meet such of his friends as could * conveniently come and see him at the Lincoln Club, Some of the evening papers had meanwhile announced that the reception would take place at the Spingler House, at eight o'clock, and accordingly at that hour hundreds of people wend there to welcome home the Sage. Naturally he was invisible, and crowds went away considering themselves hoaxed. General Cochrane seeing how matters were going, caused a notice to be posted outside the hotel stating that Mr. Greeley would be found at the Lincoln Club, and despatched a mes- senger to the Club informing them that Mr, Greeley would soon be there, and thus stopped the stam ede. Peat a few moments pe eight o'clock General Cochrane had returned with the members of the General Committee to the Lincoln Club, comprising Messrs. fdward F. Jones, Gilbert C. Deane, Henr: ©. Lake, Clarke Beil, Samuel C.. Tabor, Grinneit D. Brown and Alfred Wilkinson. There were also present ex-Marshal R. Murray, Messrs, Ethan allen, HL. pierre, Anguarus Schell iP. Inds} Y, Rye, 5 ¢, Isaac Sherman, LE. Midarts, ane Kegorion 8, Sullivan, and many other energetic movers in the cause, GREELEY'S ARRIVAL, At a quarter past OTA deafening cheers outside the club announced the arrival of the hero of the day. He walked up the steps with the agility of a boy, and was soon in the midst of his own. Cordial hand shaking, like that between old triends long separated, then took place and lasted some ten minutes. One enthusiastic gentleman remarked, “Glad to see you, my Lord; how do you feely” Mr. Greeley— “{ FEEL PRETTY SASSY, THANK YE.” Some one then congratulated him on his strength and power of fatigue. ‘Well,” replied the Sage, “I did wear out some of the boys, I believe. I used formerly to have & knack of taking @ nap in the cars, but I couldn’t do it lately, being up almost day ana night.” Others congratulated him upon the good work he had done, to which he modestly replied :—“Well, I do my best; perhaps have done better.” Subsequent! shaking became general, and representatives from nearly every State in the Union shook Mr. Greeley by the hand. A Mr. Connor, frow Charieston, 8. C., said—I am from the State—the dthe first in peace—and we will do our best for you. Webster and Calhoun were honest men, and so are you, Mr. Greeley, and you will be, by the help of our next President.’’ Another gentleman, from Ohio, remarked that in his State the men there had risen like Roderick from all around, in favor of Greeley, After some time spent in chatting with his friends, in reply to repeaced calls for a speech, Mr. Greeley left the table at which he was seated, and after being announced by General Cochrane Cod as follows, as soon as three ringing cheers for “Old Honesty” had subsided :— GREELEY’S LAST CAMPAIGN SPEECH. GENTLEMEN—I have only afew words to to you this evening. If there nas been any Te- sult from ‘estern visit, due credit must be my given to my committees, for without their concur- rence I should have refused to have gone. I was ressed to go to certain States in the Unton, and consulted the national and State committees, and their judgment concurring, I went on. I think has done good. (Loud cheers and cries of “It has.”’) We have no principles we wish to conceal or anything that we want to at hidden; and at that time the political sky was ec I think have disabused some honest men with regard to our purposes. I have explained to others that the libera! movement is @ union of well defined prin- ciples, which its Lio, pected May are proud to avow. (Uheers.)

I THINK PENNSYLVANIA IS 01 if we can have a fair election. Ohio is wi and Indiana can ne!ther be bought nor sold, and will be with us. I have been greatly strengthened and cheered by the public demonstrations of good will which have been evinced towards me in my twelve ba trip. (Deafening cheers.) jubsequently Mr. Greeley went with Mr. Ethan Allen to the residence of Dr. Byres, in Forty-third street, there to pass the night. Immealately after i ae ‘s departure the meeting at the club ad- journed, Mr. Greeley has been absent about ten days, and has spoken in public nearly two handred umes and has travelled nearly three thousand miles.
