Oxford Methodist Sunday School Excur-
sion to Portland.

To the Editor of the Press: t.r
The Sunday School connected with the M.
e. church at Oxford village, yesterday, to the
number of one hundred and twenty-five made
their annual excursion to Portland by way of
| the Grand Trunk Railroad. -atl
| At the time of their starting from Oxford.
there were appearances of a fair day; but they
| had not proceeded far on their way before it
commenced to rain and continued unpleasant
during the day. 5..
II was arranged by the school to make an ex-
cursicn to the islands in Casco Bay, but the I'M
pleasant weather prevented. But as it turn
ed out this disappointment was not to be re-
GREETED after all; for Mayor Kingsbury very
kindly invited the school into the large and
spacious reception rooms in the City Building,
where they took their dinner in primitive style,
and had a good time generally"
At half past II o'clock the school was quietly
seated, and His Honor the Mayor came in. and
was introduced by Gen. Perry, the Superin-
tendent; when he made an eloquent, interest
ing address, warmly welcoming them. to the
city, declaring Himself the life long friend of
the Sabbath School, and eulogising it as an in
sttutlon upon which we must hereafter de-
pend more than any other, for the preservation
OF civil and religious liberty in this country
"A unanimous vote OF thanks was given the
Mayor for his greatIkindness in rendering the
school the free use of the hall and also for his
excellent speech. ms
Short speeches were made by the Superin-
tendent, Rev. X. Atkinson, pastor of the M.
u: church at Oxford, and ii. c. Barnes, ESQ,
OF Portland, who accidentally came in durino
the exercises The school was also invited to
the rooms of the Society of Natural History,
where they spent very pleasant hour in ex,
amlning and viewing the large store of curiosi-

Mr.. Greeley's Bargain.

When Mr.. Greeley made his lannon's speech
in this city, he declared that no man in the
South had named Office to him, but that those
who aided in his election should be remem-
bered. From the tenor of the following let
ter we judge that the following interview with
prominent Southern gentlemen has occurred
since that time. We give the letter because
it will be so assuring to his Republican friends:

Sol. Chas. E. McGregor, Editor Warrenton
Clipper.
DEAR COLONEL: Yours of the 18th inst.
reached this city during my absence. Hence
the delay in answering it. Your inquiry as to
recognition from Horace Greeley, its lifelong
enemy, in case of his election, is most natural
and important one, and one which has given me
much concern. You accompany this inquiry
with two remarks:
First, that you had heard it claimed that in
conversation with me Greeley had intimated
thatlf elected he would recognize in his apoint-
ments the claims of the democratic party upon
him. i.
Secondly, that believing that the contest is
now as to who shall control the PRESIDENT you
are under the conviction that if it is made pub
Tic that the democracy would have prominence
IN that respect or at least an equal showing
with the republicans it would enable all
StiaiSiO-outS W cease 0ppOSlGlOn and rally to
his support.
Il consider the unity of democrats in Georgia
OF such overshadowing consequence now that
give you, as requested, the substance of Mr.
Greeley remarks, with the hope that the good
results you anticipate may to some extent be
realized
In company with several prominent South
ern gentlemen met Mr.. Greeley, at the request
OF several democratic friends, and stated to him
the fact that it was of great moment to demo-
Gratis and especially to the Southern people, to
know what class of counsellors he would have
ABOUT MN II elected His reply was, in effect,
this: i am given credit for having some COM
mon sense. l should not consider myself en-
titled to this credit if 1 should turn my back
upon majority of the men who had elected
me-. | can now see no objection to making
this public, as he has himself in recent speech
gwen publicity to the same idea. confess this
conversation had some effect in allayny my op-
position to Mr. Greeley, and in connection with
other considerations, which l shall have the
honor of submitting to your people in speech
which have agreed to make on the first Tues
day in September, have decided me to give him
my support.
.as p Very respectfully yours,
J. B. GORDON"
