FELLow.O CITIZENS: Aiew words which
must necessarily be hasty, may be accent.
able TO some Of you. II has been said
that our Americans are a little too fond Of
going abroad to Europe, but am sure that
a poor American who does not come
back a better American than when he
went; who does not appreciate America
when he returns, which may be In many
respects better than America; her populS.
ton Is more thickly settled; her arts and
sciences more thoroughly developed and
her apple trees, have noticed, have less
dead limbs on them than they have in
New Hampshire, but the American who
travels through Europe finds reason to
appreciate the freedom, the opportunity,
the hope of American youth.
l hope that the more people
that go abroad the more will come back
to appreciate the lakes, the skies, the air,
the fruitful soil, the gorgeous scenery and
glory OF our own country. / do assure
you as one who has travelled in Europe,
that could sec no such thing as a people
gathering to consider any question Of
public Importance, except of religious
character; and rejoice that I was horn
and have been permitted to live here,
where the people have everything to say
IN the management of our institutions.
In the hope and belief that our country,
free from some entanglements and some
embarrassments, Is designed to become
dearer to all Of us, take my leave.
Il general hand.shaklng followed the
speech. At Laconia an immense crowd
was gathered, and Greeley's appearance
was greeted with cheers and music. On
being introduced by Hon. E. A. Hibbard

At Plymouth Greeley was received BY

fired. After a speech of welcome from
Joseph W. Howe, Of New York, Greeley
responded, and then proceeded to the
hotel, where he dined, and afterwards
took the train for Lancaster. ~
Mr. Greeley was met at Plymouth BY
Q committee of ten TO accompany him to
Littleton, leaving for the latter place at
~ P. NJ. At The stations along the road,
Warren, Woodsville, Lisbon, &c, crowds
OF people had assembled to greet him.
Greeley appeared upon the platform of
the car and took them by the hand at
Lisbon and Littleton, he made speech
at the latter place. He was welcomed
by John g. Sinclair and responded as
follows: .,..
If l make no response to the sentiments
expressed by my friend St. Clair, you will
not regard II as implying disrespect to
him or to you, or Of showing want OF
interest on my part in the subject. But
candidate, and especially Presidential
candidate, stands in peculiar light.
Whatever he says is liable TO be interpret
ed. Those who are now his friends read
him wrong, they read what he says
upside down, crosswsys, and then d.
agona!ly,. to, extract that from It which
never was there. The people are consid.
ering these subjects, and will in short
time pronounce upon themwithout regard
to the aspirations or hopes of either OF the
candidates. They will take their own
view of what concerns their own interests,
