The sage TO HIS NEIGHBORS.
Speech Of Mr.. Greeley at the Mass
Meeting in Pleasantville.
A Cordial Reception by His
Friends.

"
tie railroad village, just two miles from Mr.. Gree
ley's Chappaqua residence there was large politi-
Cal mass meeting yesterday, at which the Philoso-
pher himself appeared. There were about i've hum
dred persons present. The meeting was presided
over by Isaiah 7. Williams, who introduced David
Maxwell, Of Kings county, as O Methodist in GOOD
standing and therefore competent to speak for that
immense and influential denomination. Mr. Max.
well said he was Methodist and an exhorter and
class leader and that as far as ne knew President
Grant was not a member Of the Church at all. He
owned pew, said Mr.. Maxwell, and for that mat
ter the devil may own pew and be the devil STILL
Clarks0n N. Potter, Congressman from the West
chester district, then delivered speech OF some
length, during which Mr.. Greeley, in his own
buggy, accompanied by Quaker friend in q broad
brim, was discerned coming around the country
road at slashing pace, holding the reins over two
blooded bays with the skill and courage OF Achilles.
The multitude gave him hearty greeting and he
was at once conducted to the platform, and at the
conclusion or Mr.. Potter's address spoke as fol-
lows:-

At the conclusion the Philosopher seated himself
to hear the speech OF Chauucey M. Depew, which
was concluded Just as the New York train came in
sight. Mr.. Greeley came down as far as Williams
bridge where he got of to pass the night with Mfr.
Waldo Hutchins. and Mr. Depew continued on his
way to this city.
