crossed the river to Jeffersonvile at 5
O'Clock, and, in response 10 calls, made 8
brief speech, saying that in politics As in
business he meant to be the friend Of the
lAborer. He continued 81 was, in the days
Of slavery, az enemy Of slavery, because
thought slavery In conflict with the rights,
the highest Well-being of free labor. That
might have been . mistake, but 1t was at
any rate an earnest conviction; so when our
great trouble came upon us | was anxious,
tirst Of all, for labor, that the laboring class
should be everywhere free men. l was anx
ious most that our country's unity might be
preserved without bloodshed, if that were
possible, and by means of bloodshed if that
dire alternative should be fastened upon US.
But friends and neighbors, bloodshed is
always q sad necessity, always q woeful
necessity and he who loves his fellow men
must desire to make that necessity as short
as possible"
A brief address on reconciliation was
made At Franklin about three o'clock. Mr..
Greeley was received by the Board of Trade
of Indianapolis at that place, where his
remarks opened with q tribute to the growth
and development of the State. He thought
specie payment might have been resumed
several years ago, but we had been drifting
further and further away from the point at
which resumption was practicable. He
favored using the gold lying dead in the
treasury to reduce the public debt and di-
mlnlsh the interest arising & therefrom.

on his present tour through the West have
no equal and no parallel in American his
