WHITE HAVEN, September 2I.-At Wilkes
barre there was u stoppagc Of twenty min.
utes. A large crowd had gathered. and
| there was u band of music, &c. MI. Gree
ley spoke as follows:
Fellow-Citizens,- We have with us others
whom know you will be glad to hear, those
whom you will not be so likely to hear at an
| other time as you will to hear me. / will
therefore make my remarks as brief rs pos
sible. We have been travelling and speaking
for the last eight or len days. / have tried
to make the views and purposes of the great
Liberal movement plain aud simple to the
great masses of the people.
have tried to demonstrate that this move
| ment is simple outburst of common sense
and good humane feeling applied TO the pre-
sent condition of our public affairs. | have
endcavored so to set this before the public
mind that prejudice shall vanish, that hatred
| shall die. that suspicion shall be dispellcd,
| that the American people shall come to-
gcther as one people aud confer with regard
| to their own Interests. and i'll the hope that
| they may thereby improve and advance their
common prospects. Such has been the ptlr-
pose of the Liberal movement, as | under.
stand it,
believe that this result will be beneficent
| to every part OF the country. | have pleaded
| against disfrauchiscmcnt and prescription
based upon our late deplorahlc conflict. |
| have tried TO make the people forget the ami
mositics that naturally grew out of that con-
| tict, and remember the sympathy which as
c0untrymcn should again unite them. Such
| is the conception and purpose, such has been
| the drift OF what I have had to say, and !
| feel certain that unless prevented by an
enormous expenditure of money, the public
voice will respond to the principles embodied
| in the Cincinnati platform and ratified by the
| Democratic Convention of Baltimore. Such
being my rr,rnose, s,lcl, being my thought,
I commend them, fcllow-citizens, to your
disrm,sionatc Judgment. J. will now retire to
make room for others.
