States, and not in the next hundred years

we need now is such government us vii
enable all parts of the country to reap the
fruits Of the victory. We want genuine
peace and complete restoration oftraternal re-
iations. 1t is time for us to forget the ami
mosites engendered by the war, and TO KIN
die, instead of these balCful passions, feel
ing Of universal love.

NIr. Greeley was received at Harrisburg
by an immense throng. After prolonged
