wise have hesitated and probably refused.
Fellow citizens, the deposed and partially
exiled Tammany ring has stolen about 800, 900,
600 from the city of New York. This was a
most gigantic robbery, and hurled its contrivers
and abettors from power and splendor to i'm
potence and infamy. But the thieving carpet
baggers have stolen at least thrice this amount
stolen it from the already impoverished and
needy, and they still fiaunt their viliany in the

Honorable" and "Excellency" L think L
hear voice from the honest people of all the
States declaring that these iniquities shall be
gainful and lnsolent no longer at farthest
than to the fourth of March next. By that
time these criminals will have heard a nation
al verdict pronounced that will cause them to
''Fold their tents like Arabs,
And silently steal away"
And that 1 trust will be the end of their
stealing at the cost of the good name of our
country and the well-being of her people.

then Mr.. Greeley re-entered his carriage and
was driven to the Falmouth Hotel, and almost
Immediately after rode with James M. Church

around the city back to the Falmouth.
At 6 o'clock Mr.. Greeley sat down to dinner
in one of the private parlors of the Falmouth
Hotel. The party at the table numbered
twenty-four, among whom were c. p. Kimball
and w. FL. Clifford, Esq, Democratic nominee
for Congress in the first district Two hours
were spent at the table in the discussion of
victuals and politics. Later in the evening Mr.
Greeley was sercnaded by one of the bands
He responded in a brief speech, which was
confined entirely to a vindication of himself
from the charges of political inconsistency. He
apologized to the Democrats and said he was
sorry that he had said SO many hard things
about them.

THE reception given in this city yesterday to
Horace Greeley, the Democratic candidate for
President, is not to be compared, either in en-
thusiasm or numbers to that given their candi-
date, Stephen A. Douglas, in 1860. A refer
ence to the files of the Argus on the occasion of
the reception of Douglas will show the above
fact. When Douglas made his speech in the
evening in front of the Preble House, Congress
street, from Brown street to the United States
Hotel, was crowded with people SO that it was
impossible for pedestrians, much less carriages
to move in that direction. 1t was not so yes
