Tie city of Pittsburgh has recently wit
messed rehearsal of the pomp and pa
gcantIy, the bIazonry and circumstance, OF

The single purpose of rekinding the bitter
ness mud hatred; the thliloeity aid alltipa-
thes. the fears and eXultatlons, of civil war,
for the advantage of a political party"
The City Council of Louisville have adopt
ed resolution inviting Mr.. Greeley there.
COLUMBUS. ONO. September 20.-Mr. Gree

and was received by a large crowd Of citi-
zens. whom he is now addressing. lie will
reach Cincinnati at 2:45 2. NJ.
Later.-Mr. Greeley spoke about five
minutes, and said, in substance, that more
than seven years having passed since the
close of the civil war It seemed no more than
reasonable that it, attendant prescription and
evil should cease, that there was now no good
reason why tie American people should hate
one another or should prescribe one another.
Some said there was part of the people who
should not vote on account Of their lar!ici.
patton in the war. We deny that any
should be prescribed because Of the war,
The opposition say this class are few. We
say, "No, sir there are thousands of this
class among tue best citizens Of Arkansas
alone" General Sigel. seven years ago.
wrote from South Carolina that the princi'
pal reason that reconstruction was a failure
was because men Of property were pro.
scribed and not allowed TO vote, while the
ignorant classes could vote away their pro.
peTty.
MIR. Greeley continued: "The time has
fully come when all should say to these
thousands who were against us, Come for
ward and help us, free as we are, to rebuild
the waste places of our country This is
what we understood BY reconciliation
[cheersl l-none prescribed and none under
the han. Sone ask, DO you want us to
vote for Yetels for oficen say you are not
asked to. Allow all to vote tor whom they
please. How shall man be a rebel who.
seven years ago, returned to his allegiance,
took the oath, and baS since been Il good
citizen and doEe I'LL he can 10 'uilit l!p fine

rebels" nf.,-ti 0.sa #.-..h ..."......a.
Mr.. Greeley concluded by saying, " Let
there be no prescription, but Jet Gs ill,
white or black, unite TO bililtl up our coun-
try" [CheeS,l Mr.. Greeley was obliged to
bring his remarks to an abrupt conclusion
on account of the noise made by the prtp;l-
lations Of the train to start.
The crowd called for more, and MIR. Gree
ley made his appearance at the end Of the
car again, but just then the locomotive
was hltched OH and the Car was pulled up
the track to allow another car to he attached.
After all was quiet again Governor Walker,
of! Virginia, who accompanies Mr.. Greeley,
was called for, and said Fellow-citizens,
/ am glad to meet you this bright September
morning. am glad to see before Inc so
many intelligent. honest voters, who will,
doubt not, cast their suffrages for Mr.. Gree
ley. [Cheers.l The Old Dominion has been
in the past leader of States and OF
the Union. Where she led, the South
followed. Even in the late war the Con-
tederacy was nothing until Virginia cast her
lot with it. The Confederacy could not have
lived six months without the Old Dominion,
and when she surrendered on the plains of
Appomattox the rebellion was over. In 1869
Virginia inaugurated this great Liberal
movement on her soil, and since, it lns been
well within her border. You do not hear
there of riots, kuklux, and bank defalcationS,
but only of good government and peace.
Virginia has pride in this great work, and
she appeals to you, her daughter Ohio-to
come TO her support and help her redeem
this country" [Chees.]
Mr. Greeley then seated himself Mt a win
dow of his car md shook hands with all
who desired II.
