LATER.-The following is
GreeIey's Speech.
My friend Tappan, and my friends and
felIow-citizens of New Hampshire: More
than half a century has passed since l left
this, my native State, in quest of the future
and larger opportunities elsewhere. Those
years, as you know, have been full of Incl
dents. AS time rushes, events hurry each
other in our day, and who lives half CEN
tury in this age, lives longer than whole
century of the life of Methuselah.
Well, fellow citizens, the half century
which has passed since ceased to be res
ident of New Hampshire has seen the origin
and growth of railroads and telegraphs and
the cables across the ocean. 1t has seen
the rise and fall of empires and dynasties,
and it has seen the best of al to me, the
overthrow of American slavery.
A great thinker has said that to-day is a
great thing in disguise; that day looks
common and trivial to the thoughtlesS, but
all great and noble successes are made up of
to-days. l do not know how well men
have done better in this age, but would that
l might feel that have added to the histe-
ry of the last half century of my country.
Our country is better worth living in to-day,
with better opportunities for its humblest
citizen because of the events of the last
half century. In these events 1haVe borne
an humble part, often mistaken and Of short
sightness, doing the thing which seemed
right but which was not always in the
wisest and largest view right; but still l
think my iife has led me to exercise a
large charity towards the great mass of the
human race. l believe the great majority
of the human race are constantly aiming to
do right. have always wished in my
busy life to come back to the State of
my birth, always hoped to have some OPP
portunity to return, not expecting ever
again to dwell with its people, but to COM
mune with them, and l trust the few days
which will be spent among you and with
my friends, will be the richest and happiest
days Of my life. l hope that hereafter as
well as now in life, which draws towards
its close, and which ought to be devoted to
rest, shall have frequent opportunities, not
many years hence, to come to New
Hampshire to mingle with its people
and rejoice with them that the old State
bears so proud position among her sister
States; that her half million of sons and
daughters, now residents Of, other States, will
always look back with pride and affection
to this State and say, that although her
granite rocks are hard, and her soil
reluctant to give forth fruits, still
for all that, her people are among
the happiest and most intelligent
of any we have seen. So then, my friends,
in the hope that perhaps | shall have an op-
portunity hereafter to mingle more tamil-
iarly with you, and that the differences
which have separated us in the past will
gradually fade away in the sight of new cir
cumstancos and we shall come to know
each other more thoroughly-in that faith
and hope, now take my leave of you.
