Portland, Aug. 1.-THE following speech
was made by Greeley 1t his reception here
lest night. He had struggled throughout
his life for; LIST impartial and universal
liberty: 81, for the unity and greatness Of
our common country 3D., but by no means

stating 1t here now. This 10 the truth. that

proposed to support or actually did support
my nomination whether at Cincinnati or
Baltimore. or in the action which resulted
in sending delegates TO either convention, .

what pledge have given to those lately

South ever asked Of me, whether directly
or through another, any other pledge than
