An OvatiOn-A Speech from Greeley.
MANCHESTER, n. H., Aug. Horace
Greeley arrived at 5 P. NJ. and was received
by delegation of Liberal Republicans and
Democrats from Nashua. a national sa-
lutte was fired. Greeley was received at the
station, amid the cheers of the people, by
ex-Gov. James A. Weston, Democrat, and
Col. Waterman Smith and A. F. Perry,
Liberal Republicans. A procession was
formed and the distinguished visitor was es-
corted to the residence of Mr.. Perry, where
he remains during the night.
At O'Clock a large procession of citizens
several thousand in number-headed by
a band, proceeded to the residence Of Mr..
Perry to pay respects to the distinguished
son of the old Granite State. In response
to the cheers of the populace, Greeley soon
made bis appearance and was introduced
by Albert Jackson, when he delivered the
following speech, frequently interrupted by
applause.
Fellow citizens of my native State: Y GU are
aware that am among you on visit to my
relatives and playmates of my childhood,
as have often been among them during
the half century since leftthis neighborhood
in quest of living elsewhere. l first saw
Manchester 81 years ago when flood and
running ice in the Merrimack rendered
it impossible at Reeds or Thornton's
ferry and compelled my father Ito return
with me from my gTandfather's in Lon
donderry to our home in Amherst, to take
a circutous route in order to cross at this
point by an old and ricketty structure
known as McGregor's Bridge. There were
then three or four fshermen's tents on the
site of this now thrifty and prosperous city
of about thirty thousand souls.
Lowell and Nashua were unknown
even i'll name; and Lot
single cotton mill, l believe, certainly no
print works, existed in this State. The in
tervening years have witnessed immense
strides in the growth of our country's in
dustries and useful arts. l trust that
all sections are benefited thereby, that
the cotton-grower and the cotton-spinner
may both rejoice in each others
thrift and prosperity. Good men sin
cerely apprehended that if slavery were
abolished, cotton would no longer be pro-
duced in adequate quantities, but many of
them have lived to realize and rejoice that
the labor of freeman Is worth more than
that of slave. L trust other misappre-
tensions and sectional harreds are yielding
to the lessons OF experience, AID that long
and bright IA Of peace and fraternity has
dawned upon our once distracted country,
and in that fat md you kindly good
night.
Nine hearty cheers were given, after
which the vast throng present passed
through the house aud shook hands with
Mr.. Greeley. Many personal friends took
occasion later in the evening to pay their
respects. ,
1t is understood Mr.. GreeIey will lie ee-
corted to Concord tomorrow morning by a
