AT COLUMBUS
. stin larger crowd greeted the philosopher, with
hats waving, bands playing and cannon firing.
He said in substance that, more than seven years
having passed since the close Of the civil war, 1t
seemed no more than reasonable that its attendant
prescriptions and evils should cease that there
now no good reason why the American people
should hate one another should prescribe one
another. Some said there were part Of the people
who should not vote, account OF their participa-
zion In the war. We deny that any
should be prescribed because OF that war.
The opposition say this class are few. We say no.
sir; there are thousands Of this class among the
best citizens In Arkansas alone. General Sigel,
seven years ago, wrote from South Carolina that
tho principal reason the reconstruction fail
ure was because men OF property were prescribed
and not allowed to vote, while the poorer and
Ignorant classes could vote away their property.
Mr.. Greeley contnued-The time had fully come
when all should say to these thousands who were
against u.s. come forward and help us, free as we
are, to rebuild the waste places Of our country.
This Is what we understand by reconciliation

Some ask, Do you want US to

whom they please. How shall man be o rebel
who seven years ago returned to his allegiance,
took the oath and has since been good citizen
and done all he could to build up the countryS
hold it as an error to call such man rebel. Mr..
Greeley closed by saying LET there be no pro-
scription but let US all, white or black, unite to
build up our country. (CheersJ, ,,--,-
Mr.. Greeley was obliged to bring his remarks to
an abrupt conclusion, on account OF the noise made
by the preparations OF trains to depart. The
crowd called for more, and Mr.. Greeley made his
appearance at the end of the car again but just
chen the locomotive was hitched on to the car,
which was pulled some distance up the track, to
allow another car to be attached.
GOVERNOR WALKERS SPEECH. ., r.
After all was quiet again Governor Walker, of
Virginia, was called upon and said:- ....,

Mr.. Greeley then seated himself at window Of
his car and shook hands with oil who desired 1t.
