TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1S72:

From the Indianapolis Sentinel. GREELEY AND DROWN.

A Genuine Hoosicr Welcome to the Sago of Cliappaq ia.

IiKliananoliH does not lo Tilings by Halves—The Iargo»it Political Meeting Kver Held in tlie Slate—Two Miles of

TorclHifflits and Acres ol- People— Nnreclie.s of"Mr. Oreeley and Mr. \Oor' hees—Addition and Multiplication, but no Division or Sllciice.

The 23d of September, 1872, will long be memorable in the history of Indiana politics. It witnessed the graudest, the largest, the most enthusiastic demonstration by the Democrats and Liberals which has ever taken place in the State. The Weather, strangely enough, was all that eoiild be desired, cool and pleasant out af doors, rendering a protracted stay in the streets not only comfortable but delightful. Disappointed in the attempt to signalize the visit of Governor Brown by a grand out-door display, the Democrats aud Liberals were determined that last night should atone for all previous disappointment, and well did they carry out their purpose. All day the home clubs were busily preparing, while the late trains all brought large reinforcements from neighboring and even distant towns and cities, to swell the crowd.

At an early hour in the evening the crowds began to gather upon Washington street to await the movement of the procession. They gathered rapidly, by hundreds, by thousands—till at lengttf they could only be estimated by acres. When the procession commenced to move, a little before 8 o'clock, Washington street was literally packed with people from Mississippi street to Alabama, while beyond this dense mass of humanity, on either end, vast numbers of people extended in a less compact crowd a, distance of two or more squares.

The procession itself was a magnificent display. Marching at a quick step, and inclose ranks, it was over half an hour in passing.

Washington street has never presented such a scene as that of last night with the vast sea of people) lighted up by the moving stream of torches, nearly two miles in length, while the gaily illuminated buildings and the flashing of colored lights added brilliancy to the scene.

There was a continuous roar of cheers along the whole line of march, the carriage containing Mr. G-eeley being everywhere greeted with the wildest en* thusiasm. The shouts of applause, it was noticeable, did not come, as is generally the case, from the men in the procession— the people massed in the street and upon the sidewalks joined in and swelled the volume of cheers, till it seemed as though everybody was going wild with the excitement and inspiration of the occasion. Every notable device or motto carried in the procession was the signal for a burst of applause, and scarcely had one died away before another rose, and for the hour consumed by the march and countermarch of the line, this was kept up, the street being so crowded that even had any considerable portion of the spectators desired to leave the scene, they would have found it impossible to do so and they therefore stood still and eased their weary limbs by the exercise of their lungs. Not only were the streets and sidewalks a perfect jam, but every available window was occupied, and waving handkerchiefs and miniature flags,swung by fair hands, answered to the shouts from below.

The procession moved east to JSoDie and thence countermarched to the State House yard. Long before the head of the procession had reached that point, thousands of people had gathered inside the vard. Soon the totch-bearers began to pour in, and in a brief time the whole square was overflowing with people. Such amass of people was never before seen in the State House Square. The entire south half was packed with people by the time Mr. Greeley appeared upon the stand, while another large concours© was gathered about tti6 stand in the northeast corner. The enthusiasm, which was up to fever heat, could not be expected to cool down sufficiently at once to euable any considerable portion of the acres of people to hear the speaking, but those in the immediate vicinity of the stands soon came to a measurable degree of order aud prepared themselves to listen.

'ii inTftilfci'i

AT THK SOUTH STAND.

It was arranged that Mr. Greeley should be introduced to the people at the stand on the south side of the square, and about this swarmed the great mass of the people. Not a tithe of them could get within hearing or seeing distance, yet they maintained their positions, looking, :\s with the eye of faith, in the direction of the spot where they knew their chosen leader sat. When those in the immediate vicinity of the stand had come to a state of reasonable quiet, Hon. Daniel W. Voorliees arose aud introduced Mr. Greeley in the following neat little speech:

VOORHEES' SPEECH.

Mr. Voorhees said My fellow citizens: To me has been assigned the honor of introducing to you the distinguished guest of the evening. He comes to you as the exponent of a great movement in American politics. When that movement commenced it is well known that I did not favor it. I submitted, however, to the lawfully ex» pressed authority of my party,and moved onward with my frieuds. This movement now, with its chosen leader, receives from me far more than mere submission to the dictates of party. I am now thoroughly impressed with the oonyjotlon that the cause in which we are engaged Js cause of good government,

the cause of reconciliation, and of purification. The public utterances of Mr. Greeley in his letters, and in his speeches, lift him up to the highest plane of staiemanship. I hazard nothing in sayiug that for elevation of thought, for purity of sentiment, for broad philanthropy, for general benevolence, and for Christian statesmanship, the speeches of Mr. Greeley, delivered in his present Western tour, have no parallel in American histo lour, iiave UU uaraiiei IU Amtnuui 7.

the history of the ancient Had I never been for him before would be for him to-night. [Applause.] I embrace this movement with all my heart, mind and strength. Its tendency is the redemption aud happiness of the whole country. It means peace, restoration, kindness, confidence and equality amongst our people of all sections. Is^e here many thousands of people. This is a bright omen. They appreciate aud lUMlerstand the issues. There are many ifrooring people here. I propose to introduce a man of their own kind. I now introduce to you one, who, by the industry of his brain and hand has achieved a foremost position, not only in the history of tlto American Republic, but al^in the history of mankind—Horace Greeley, of New York. [Applause.]

GREELEY'S SPEECH.

Hon. Horace Greeley, when the applause had subsided, said PEOPLE OF INDIANA The distinguished gentleman who has just addressed you has prououncod the two watchwords of the present canvass. The first is "reconciliation the second is "purification."

It was thus provided that the road should

no value? After a little while a private company was somewhere chartered entitled the "Credit Mobiler of America." That private company, or ring, was composed of leading active members of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, some of them members of Congress. No list of stock-holders in this Credit Mobiler was ever published or can be obtained. But this company proposed to make contracts virtually with itself that is to say, the same gentlemen officiationg as officers of the Union Pacific Railroad con^ tracted with themselves as officers of the Credit Mobilier of America, to construct the Union Pacific Railroad at enormous prices, which absorbed the bonds loaned by the Government, and the private loan to the company of an equal amount, which was the same as a mortgage on the property. In other words, these gentlemen contracted with themselves, to pay themselves twice the cost of the entire building and equipping of the road, thus building the road with the proceeds of the bonds loaned by the Government, they proceeded to divide among themselves the other bonds of an equal amount which Congress had made the first mortgage on the entire railroad. By this means twenty or thirty millions of dollars were divided among parties unknown to the public. That money was divided which you are now called upon to pay. Thus we find the bonds they were allowed to make the first mortgage of the company to build the road with were Government bonds, vhich were second mortgage on that property. Now, then, you see these same gentlemen engineered through Congress this project to make the road cost double what it should cost,^ and making half that cost a profit dividend among themselves. These gentlemen now appeal to Congress for still further personal advantage. Congress had thus far reserved to the country such sums as these railroads would earu by the carrying of mails, the transporting of the provisions, etc., for the armies of the United States. But the company said, "No, we don't want to pay but half this we want you to reserve half the money you earn working for the Government, and pay over the other half to us." Consequently, in March, 1S71, by an amendment fastened upon the army appropria? tion bill, the Secretary of the Treasury was instructed to pay over to these companies half the money they earned by carrying the mails and armies of the United States, and only reserving half of these earnings toward the payment of interest semi-annually accruing on the bouds due to the United States so that now, at this date, the people of this country are paying some millions of doliVtAit* V*orH

of reconciliation I propose to speak tonight in the interest of purification. Our country has recently encountered and vanquished the peril of disunion she is to-day confronted by the deadlier peril of corruption. [Cheers and voices—"That's so."] The canker is eating into her vitals. Legislation is being purchased, public servants are being bribed, aud there is a general betrayal of the highest trusts.

Let me endeavor to illustrate our present peril bysimply recounting to you the undenied aud undeniable facts which illustrate the history of legislatipn by Congress with reference to the Union Pacific Railroad. I would fix your attention on this as a sample of the means whereby scheming, selfish politicians can contrive to fill their own pockets while they talk of public interest aud and public beneficence. Ten years ago Congress passed an act in relation to the Union Pacific Railroad. That act was intended aud calculated to secure to connection by railway of our Pacific with the Atlantic States—a noble purpose, and one which cannot be too strongly commended. As it was certain that private capital could not build the road through two thousand miles of mountain and desert, Congress resolved to aid that enterprise generously. In the first place the right of way through the public lands was granted, with the right also to take material from any part of the public domain. Next a large land-grant was made in aid of this Pacific road, and

to the Union

States. [Applause.] I stand here, fel low-citizens, to insist that the legislation of your country, national and State needs purification, and that the leading men in our governments—the men who are speakers and members of the Committee on the Pacific Railroad, and other railroads—that those men who have so corruptly robbed the people of the United States—those men should be called to justice. [Applause.] We need recon

need purification, but this not less than the other. The letters of Oakes Ames, the undenied and undeniable letters of Oakes Ames, a member of Congress, aud a co-operator in the Credit Mobilier, and a stockholder iu the Union Pacific Rail road, whereof he was lately Presidentthese letters incontestibly prove eorrup tion in high places. Such legislation as I have briefly exposed to you could not have been effected, without the conniv ance and support of men high in au thority. These facts assure you that purification is urgently needed.

Fellow-citizens, let me say one word for recoucilliation. For years I have plead, for years I have implored that strife and contention should cease. For years I have said let us have universal amnesty with impartial suffrage. [Cheers.] We have achieved impartial suffrage—no man contests it no man disputes it—now give us universal amnesty. [Applause.] We ought to have it, [Renewed applause.] It is time that alienation should cease. It is time the bitterness and hatred gro wi hg out of our late contest should cease. It is time that American people —the Whole of them—should be asked to assemble again around the board of common nationality—no outcasts, uo aliens, none proscribed—and there unite once more in taking the vows of allegiance and devotion to the flag, to the honor, to the unity, and to the prosperity of this great Republic. [Cheers.] I plead for reconciliation, perfect aud complete. I stand for amnesty so thorough that no man shall be left outside of its ample folds. [Cheers.] I desire to see every American recalled to loyality by being asked to stand equal with us, and on the common platform of American nationality. [Cheers.]

Fellow-citizens, we were promised this four years ago in the Republican National Platform. It has been conceded to us, and we must take it. We have asked for it long enough, now let the people go forward and say they will have it. Ap^ plause, and voices, "that's the doctrine."] In several States—iu Virginia, in Missouri, iu West Virginia—the people have been asked. "V^ll you have every man enfranchised, no man proscribed? and they have always answered with an overwhelming, "Yes, yes, no proscription—universal amnesty." And the whole people will so answer if the question can be fairly presented. I put the question, and I am iu the affirmative on that question, aud I call upon the people so to vote, that no man shall doubt that the American people demand universal amnesty, aud the restoration of every withheld right to every American born on our soil. [Cheers.]

VVe therefore reproduce it entire. General Grant said LADIES AND GENTLEMAN I could not but feel grateful for the reception I have received at the hands of the citizens of Newark, of New Jersey, to-day. I had the pleasure of visiting the State Fair, near Elizabeth, where I saw little else but people. I was at your Exposition tonight, but saw little of what they had there to see. I hope to see tomorrow what I went to-night to see.

Iu this oration it will be seen that the President meets the issue squarely, and never for au instant allows himself to be diverted from its discussion. He went to New Jersey to see something. He didn't see it at Elizabethtown. He sawlittle else but people there then, at the Newark Exposition, be saw but little of what they had there to see, but he hoped the next day to see what he went the night before to see. This, we submit, is a calm, unprejudiced, and terse statement of facts, and it is to be hoped that he saw the next day what he didn't see the night before, and that he enjoyed it when he saw it, aud that, if he didn't see it that day, he saw it the other day after that, or some other day. It is evident that the people of Newark went out to see something, and'suw a reed shaken by the wind.

Isn't

ever, that the President of the United States, in the presence of a great crowd of people, gathered together to celebrate the annual showing of the products of a State, has nothing better to say than the senseless rubbish quoted above? Can any intelligent man, after reading Mr. Greeley's masterly speech at the Cincinnati Exposition, and comparing it with such stuff"as the above, which has not a semblance of any sort of an idea in it, hesitate in the estimate to be placed ou the comparative capacity of the two men Chicago Tribune.

At a meeting of the Oil City Association held yesterday, a committee was appointed to make an examination and preport next Friday, how much of the total production can be stopped. Some of those most anxious will shut down at once, and will remain shut if the movement becomes general. Several hundred wells in several districts are already stopped under the above conditions.

A large flag, bearing the picture of the sage, was hung over the stand, the head of the picture beiug formed of Greeley fans. He spoke 15 minutes. He said the looks of the Indiana people has filled his breast with hope and courge. He advocated the policy of reconciliation with the South, and a purification of the parties much after the mauuer of his Jeffersonvilie speech. He was heartily and enthusiastically cheered.

Mr. Greeley's Pittsburg Speech. The report of Mr. Greeley's speech at Pittsburg for the Associated Press, did him great injustice. In referring to bis position in 1860 and early in 1861, before the firing upon Fort Sumpter, on the issues then presented of separation or civil war, Mr. Greeley said "I denied that the great rifajonty of the Southern people were against the Union. I demanded that there should be an open,free discussion, that Southern people might have au honest, unterrined, unconstrained vote,and,if they approved, if the people of the South said they wanted disunion, I would consent to it.

I knew that the great majority of the Southern people would have voted as they actually did that winter, not for secession, but for clinging to the Union, [cheers and now, to-day, if the Nation were to be imperiled, aud there were just two modes of saving it, to trust the chances of a civil war or the chances of a free vote of the Southern people, I would very

Thus with these poor patriots who deny buying or "holding" Credit Mobilier shares.

After this it is 110 doubt the case that the latent ownership of the milked shares was reasserted.—N. Y. World.
