PORTLAND, August 15.-The following
is tho address of Mr. Greeley, iu the City
Hall yesterday :
MR. CHAIRMAN AND LADIES AND GEN?
TLEMEN: It is certaiuly true Ihut through?
out the course of my life, so far as I have
been connected with publio affairs, I
have struggled with such capacity as God
has given me for, first, impartial and
universal liberty; second, for the union
and the greatness of oar common coun?
try; aud third, and by no meaos least,
wheu the former onda were attained, for
an early and hearty reconciliation aud
peace amoug our countrymen. For
these great ends I have struggled, and
hope the issue of the third is not doubt?
ful.
I thoroughly comprehend that no per?
sonal consideration bas drawu this vast
assembly together. Other high and
grander considerations have collected
you arouud me to-day. It is part of the
unwritten law of our country that a can?
didate for the Presidency may not make
speeches in vindication and iu commend?
ation of the principles whereupou he is
supported, or the measures which his
election is intended to promote; though
a oandiduto for Vice-President is under
no snob inhibition. I not merely ac?
quiesce in the restriction, but I also
fully reooguize and affirm its propriety.
The temptation to misinterpret and mis?
represent a candidate for the higher post
is so great, the means of circulating such
perversions among people who never see
a word of their refutation are so vast,
that a candidate bas no moral right to
sobjeot his friends to the perils he must
brave, if not invite, by taking part in
the canvass. Yet there is a truth to be
uttered in behalf of those who have
placed me before the Amerioan people in
my present attitude, which does them
such honor, that I claim the privilege oi
stating it here and now.
This is that truth-no person has ever
yet made the fact known that he pro?
posed to support or actively did support
my nomination, whether at Cincinnati
or Baltimore, or in any action which re?
sulted in sending delegates to either
convention, as the basis of a claim foi
office at my hands. No one who favored
my nomination before either convention,
or at either convention, has sought office,
either for himself or any one else; or hat
; any suggested to me that I might strength
i en myself as a candidate by promising tc
appoint any one to any important office
i whatever. Io a very few instances, lest
than a dozen, I am certain some of the
smaller fry of politicians have, since my
. double nomination, hinted to me that 1
might increase my chances of election
by promising a post office, or some sud
office, to my volunteer correspondent!
respectively. I have not usually re
. sponded to these overtures, but I now
give general notice that, should I ht
, elected, I will consider the claims o
these untimely aspirants after those o:
. the more modest and reticent shall bav<
been fully satisfied. [Applause.] Ii
two or three iustanoes, L have beci
; asked to say whether I woojd or woulc
! not, if elected, confine my appointmenti
! to Republicans. I answer these bj
pointing to the plank in the Ciucinnat
? platform wherein all who coucur in th?
. principles therein set forth aro cordially
. invited to participate ia their vindication
I never yet heard of a man who invitee
( bia neighbors to help him raise a house
i and prooeeded to kiok them out of it a
c soon as the roof was fairly over bis head
1 For my own part, I recognize every ho
Q nest man who approves and adheres ti
t, the platform as my political brother; am
o as such, fully entitled to my oonfidenc
a and friendly regard,
n Ono other point demands a word
Those adverse to me and what pledges
f have given to those lately hostile to th
Union to secure their favor and support
0 I answer, no man or woman, in all th
n South, over asked of me, either direotl
or through another, any other pledg
than is given in all my acts and wordi
\ From the hour of General Robert I
. Lee's surrender, dowu to this momen
Q no Southern mau ever hinted to mo a
0 expectation, hope or wish that the robt
debt, whether Confederate or State,
should be assumed or paid by the Uoiou ;
aud DO Southern mau, who could be
elected to a Legislature, or made colouel
of a militia regiment, ever suggested
the penBioniug of all the rt bel soldiers,
or any of them, eveo as a remote possi?
bility. All who nomiuuted me were
perfectly aware that I upheld aud justi?
fied Federal legislation to repress Ku
Klux conspiracy and oatruges, though I
hod long ugo iusisted as strenuously us I
now do, that completo amnesty und
general oblivion of the bloody and
hateful past would do more for tho sup?
pression and utter extinction of such
outrages, tbnn all tho force bills and
suspension of /tabeas carpus ever devised
by man. Wrong and orime must be
suppressed and puuished; but far wiser
and nobler is the legislation and the
policy by which they ure prevented.
From those who support mo in the
South, I have heard but oua demand
justice; but one desire-reconciliation.
They wish to bo heartily reunited, uud
at peace with thu North, ou uuy term?
wbieli do uot involve the surrender cl
their manhood. They ask that thej
should be regarded und treated by Fede
ral authority as citizens-not culprits
so long as they obey aud uphold everj
law consistent with equality and right
They desire a rule which, aliko for wbili
aud ?luck, shall eucouruge industry nut
thrift, and discourage rapaoity and vii
lainy. They cherish a joyful hope, ii
which I fully coucur, thut between tin
5th of .November and-iib of Marah next
quite a number of Governors and otho
dignitaries who, iu the absurd name u
Republicanism aud loyulty, have, fe
years, been piliug debts uud taxes upo
their wur wasted States will follow tin
wholesome example of Bullock, o
Georgia-seek tho sliudos of private life
The darker aud deeper those shades, tb
better for themselves aud for munkiud
aud tho bopo that my election may hav
tho much desired hegira of thioviug eui
pet-buggers, baa reconciled to tho necei
sity of supporting ino many who woul
otherwise huve hesitated. Fellow cit

Uti ny in the highest places of the lan

I i h in K I bear ? voice from the houe
people of all the States declariug th
their iniquity shall be gainful and in?

4lli of March next.. By that timo a t:
tioual verdict will be prouounced tit

That, I trust, will be the end of tb

THE RIOT ON THU OGEECHEE.-Up to
noou to-day, (tbe 14th,) there has been
U lull in the hostilities on tho Ogeechee.
Butler King, thc uegro who was wound?
ed in the affray of Monday afternoon,
died last night. Coroner Sboftall, of
this city, weut down this morning to
bold nu inquest, with a jury of citizens
of Savauuali. It is expected that there
may bo some trouble at tho inquest.
Warrnu ts have been issued for the arrest
of more I bau forty black desperadoes,
who are known us leaders iu the disturb?
ance. The officers entrusted with the
warrants are men noted for courage nud
determination, and within tho next few
hours some lively skirmishing may be
expected among thu dusky warriors of
the Ogeechee.
The Savannah News, of yesterday,
furnishes the following additional parti?
culars of the disorders of Monday and
Monday night:
We have seen Mr. McLeod lviug, the
Justice of the Peace for tho Seventh
District, and several gentlemen from the
Ogeechee, whose statements give a much
more serious aspect to the state of affairs
iu that negro-ridden section. It would
appear, from all we eau gather, that the
issue made by thu outlaws isa part of a
well concocted scheme in tho iuterests
of the Radical party, und undoubtedly
original ed wilb Richard W. White aud
hiH negro aud white ulies in this city, for
the purpose of 1 ntl 11 cueing thu emmi tig
political campaign and carrying the
County for Graut. A number of these
demagogues have been on the Ogeechee,
recently, haranguing the blacks, aud the
snit has been.that they have refused to
o road duty, and have been very iuso
ut to tho whites. The fact thut they
ave already threatened with death any
au who should vote for Greeley shows
that their advisers are meu much better
posted in politics than themselves. This
pirit of violence hus been so inauifost
that those who have large iuterests at
stake in the section threatened have pre?
ferred to be robbed with iuipuuity,
rather than to give any cause for a ne?
ro outbreak by seeking their redress by
aw.
Mr. Kiug, soon after the capture of
the constables, was advised by friendly
negroes to seek safety in Might, as the
outlaws had threatened hi-> life. His men
saddled his horse and told him at once to
go into Bryan County, beyond theil
reach. Mr. King was very loath to take
this course, but knowing that his staying
would cause the lives of some of these
desperadoes, and as an officer of the law
he wished for peace, concluded to leave.
His entire household goods were removed
and secreted by his people. Stopping in
Bryan Couuty during the night with a
friend, he found that the erneute which
had just taken place in Chatham had
been hourly ex 1 coted, as the negroes had
predicted it for some time previous.
Taking the Gulf train, Mr. K. arrived in
this oity last evening. From a person
who came along the road, we learn the
following particulars of the sacking ol
Mr. O'Bryan's house:
During the night, the negroes visited
the store of Mr. O'Bryan, who had had
the warrant issued, and demanded ad
mittance. Mrs. O'Bryan prevailed upor
her hosband to remain in bod, while she
went to the door. Ou opening it, ebt
was confronted by a baud of negroei
armed with shot-guns und muskets, win
violently pushed ber aside and enterer
the store. A party weut into tho hud
room and attacked Mr. O'Bryan, cutting
him in several places. The gang tliei
completely sacked the store, carryinf
away the entire contents, and leaving thi
place a total wreck. Not enough wa:
left to get a breakfast for tho family ii
the morning, and they had to bog of tin
negroes in the neighborhood a sutficieno;
for a scanty meal. Eye-witnesses stat
that the scene at this place is truly heart
rending.
At Mr. C. T. Chapman's, about tei
miles from tho city, tho negroes picketei
the road all night, using the most deuuu
ciatory language towards the whites.
The uegro who was shot by Ottcrmai
is thu samo one who was eugaged in th
Ogeechee Presidential riot in lstiS, um
who, while uuder arrest in this city, es
caped from the officer in oliurgo.
The state of affairs demand tho promp
atteution of tho Couuty aud State un
thorities, and decisive steps should a
once bo takeu to show these ignoran
aud deluded peo plo that tho laws mun
bo respected by blacks us well as b
whites. No half way measures will dc
tho stern arm of tho military as well 11
of the civil authorities should teach thei
tho lesson. The iuterests of the law
?abiding people aro paramount to th
lives of lawlons men.

MURDEROUS ATTACK -Mr. Jerrj Tins

last, between midnight and daylight,
wbilo ho wa? ubsent und iu attendance
upon tbo United Staten Court, so mo per?
son approached bis house and tired eight
or niuo times into his dwelling, die
charging forty-eight or lifty shots, oue
of wbioh grazed the hand of his wifo,
greatly endangering those inside. The
party guilty of this murderous uttsck ?B
supposed to bo known, and will be ar?
rested when sufficient evidence is ad?
duced. The man, Mr. Tinsley thinks,
accused bim of reporting him to the In?
ternal Reveuuo officers. A similar attack
was also made upon tho house of Mra.
Catherine Tinsley, in the same place, in
which three or four shots were fired, a
few hours afterwards, und it is supposed
the sumo party did it for similar motives.
We regret to record such occurrences.

STARRING AFFRAY.-Mr. G. C BUM t
became iuvolvod iu a difficulty, Monday
night, with a colored boy named Urius
Hendrix, and received a severo cut in

aifair originated from Mr. Bacot's refus?

Mr. B. was blabbed whilo defending him?
