FAnRAGUT HOUSE, via PORTSMOUTH, Aug
16.-Mr Greeley on reaching the Ocean House
alighted from his carriage and held a short re-
ception in the parlors. He then proceeded to the
residence of G. III. Jenness where he dined
While there delegations of prominent men from
Mississippi, Tennessee aud Georgia called upon
him and were introduced. At four o'clock Mr.
Greeley went to grove short distance from
the Farragut House where a clam bake had
been prepared. Stopping at the latter place he
stepped upon the piazza and was introduced to
the ladies and gents assembled by Hon A. b.
Stoughton of Washington who made brief
speech Of welcome to which Mr. Greeley briefly
responded.
When Mr. Greeley had finished his speech a
levee was held in the parlors after which Mr.
Greeley escorted by large number of citizens
among whom was Secretary Robson, walked
to the clam bake where, notwithstanding the
rain which was falling, crowd gashered. At
ter ample justice had been done to the feast
Mr. Robson arose and said
Ladies and Gentlemen:-YOur distinguished
| guest is a native of New Hampshire, while 1
myself am a stranger, seeking here what 1 can
| not find at home. Nobody fails to recognize
the qualities which claim for our common
country. 1t springs from the soil and from the
| regions that lie around, from her rock bound
coast, her rugged mountain Sides from her
quiet farms and busy villages. New England
| has made her impress on every community; her
| sons are found making the impress of char
deter, and conduct, and usefulness, and where
| ever they are found their influence if felt and
felt for good through all the channels of our
| country. All the political questions which
have agitated our country in the past and will
| agitate it in the future are of character to
challenge the attention of mankind. If the
country is to succeed, to keep even peace with
its fellows, it must practice those virtues which
| makes homes happy
To produce is an honor and the principles
| must be recognized that labor of every kind
shall have social and politicallpower. The sons
of New England illustrate to the country and
|
can success is to be found in the spirit of Amer
lean government That is the lesson which
| New England gives to the country and her
sons illustrate that their spirit is the spirit of
progress, their success the prints of their iudus-
try. But friends, of course, cannot make
long Speech nor particular one, for ii is neces-
| sary under.the circumstances under which we
stand that should deal only with broad prin-
ciples.
Onbeing called upon Mr.. Greeley said:
| M. Chairman. Ladies and Gentlemen:-It is
| one of the most striking exhibitions of human
| perversity that if two individuals agree on 10
propositions out of 20, and if you bring them
together they will venture ON no discussion re-
lative to the 10, but will at once be locking
horns on the one proposition. 1 understand
watering places to have been established and
constructed to over rule and disregard this per-
versity. While my distinguished friend ON my
| loft and l are somewhat at variance on
the more important questions of the country,
we find ourselves in perfect accord on the sub
| ject of CLAIMS. We are here then together to il
lustrate and emphasize that accord.
CLAIMS unite us in this delightful intercourse,
where We need only little more delightful sur
roundings of weather Therefore, while we
recognize no discord we will, if you please, dis
| pense with oratorio and discuss CLANS
| Remarks were also made by Hon. Charles
Levi Woodbury. of Boston. ..a.
