THEIR TRir TO NORTH CAROLINA —SPEECH-
ES DELIVERED. j
The Whig of this morning contains an
interesting account of the reception and
treatment of the Northern editors at
Greensboro, which will compare favorably
with their treatment here, in the capital of
Virginia. Wo, who have never before
yielded to any people on earth ou,r ; flaims
for hospitality and liberality, have per
mitted several gentlemen connected with
the press of the "city, and a few of our en
terprising business men, to alono extend
hospitality to this party, while, above and
below us, our neighbors havo opened wide
their arms and received them in a manner
which must necessarily create a kind feel
ing in return.
The Whig has already published the elo-
It speech of Governor Z. B. Vance, so
'ill content ourselves by publishing
of several gentlemen, who are mem
of the excursion, and that of Judge
reply to the toast—"Our Guests", A.
A. Hopkins, Esq., of the American Rural
Home, delivered the speech published by
the Whig this morning, filled with excel
lent thought, declaring the visit of the
party to be one of friendship.
REBPONSE OF HON. D. B. HILL.
Hon. D. B. Hill, of Elmira, N. V., was
called on to respond to Gov. Vance. He
said:
Mr. Mayor and gentlemen— ln obedience to
your calls I rise with some hesitation to re
ply to the distinguished gentleman who has
just taken his seat, I distrust my own ability
to properly respond upon thia occasion. I
would prefer that you had called upon others
of our number far more able than myself to ad
dress you.
I can hardly find words to give expres
sion to the sentiments of my heart.
We thank you most sincerely for your kind
ness everywhere manifested towards va. Your
f;enerous hospitality was far-famed, but we find
t beyond our fondest expectations. (Ap«
plause.)
It has boen truly said that we come among
las friends. We have not come as political
nturers, seeking our own preferment by
>n of your misfortunes. We are not here
rofit by your adversity, or to baiid ours
aup upon your ruio. Our greatest deeire
at you may become prosperous again. We
came to mingle among your people, to learn
their sentiments, to see their lands, and to
know their wants. If we came aa conquerors,
we have been disarmed by your kindness, and
are now your prisonera. (Laughter and ap
plause.) If we came to conquer, it was but
to conquer our own prejudices, if any we have,
against your peoplo. In that view our cam
paign haa been a most successful one. (Re
newed applause.) With many of us it is our
first visit to the Sunny South.
As wo havo progressed _t-p by -l-p, no *"vve
been most favorably disappointed. Our first
day waa spent in the busy city of Baltimore.
As we roamed through ita streets and avenues
many of us thought that thia beautiiul city
was exactly the place where we should delight
to dwell. When, however, we beheld the
romantic city of Richmond, the city famed lor
ita distinguished men and brave peoplo, and
view""cd its fine reaidencea, its decorated ceme
teries,and its public institutionß.and as we min
gled among ita people, we were pleased with
the beauty, the elegance, and worth of thia old
Virginia town.
But as we still journeyed on to tho city of
Staunton, and there were shown that delight
ful spot, with its numerous institutions of
learning acattered on the various hills sur
rounding it, with ita asylums for the poor and
unfortunate, managed with auch signal abil
ity, with a people intelligent and refined and
who greeted us with so much cordiality, the
moat favorable impression waß created, and we
thought we should be content with the selec
tion of that place as our home.
Then we were taken to the Shenandoah Val
ley, a spot unsurpaaaed for its magnificence and
grandeur, and there we saw stretched out be
fore us an extent of country of which any peo
ple might be proud; a country whicb, for
richness of soil, for pleasantneaa of climate,for
delightful scenery, haa no equal, in my judg
ment, in this whole country of ours. All that
we had read of it waa indeed verified.
But as we came further South, and into your
own beautiful section, in the interior of tbe
good old State of North Carolina, and now
see the abundance of your crops, and learn of
your reaourcea not yet developed, and witneaa
your genuine enthusiaam as you greet us this
day, and hear of your wanta and desires from
the lips of your honored men, we are of the
decided opinion that you here possess advan
tages and rcaources that cannot be excelled,
and that to the honest, bona fide settler, you
hold out inducements nowhere else presented.
We are charmed with the scenes around us,
and we are highly pleased with your own
prosperous city; and while other places pos
sess great attractions, it does seem to va that
of all others the city of Greensboro is just the
place where we should delight to dwell.
I trust, sir, we have not come among you to
misrepresent you in any respect. We believe
that all you desire is that we do your country
and your people juatice. (Applause.) You
have a right to expect that these editors will
do what it ia generally supposed is the hardest
tbing for them to do i tell the simple truth.
(Applause and hearty laughtor.) If they find
the people of the South disorderly and evil
disposed, refueing obedience to the laws and
seeking to promote civil strife, you are willing
that they should tell the men of the North ex
actly what they find. It gives me pleasure,
»ir, to state that we discover no Buch situation

ght to recognize tbe same standard, an<
to unite upon no other, there would soon be a
permanent, enduring, and earnest peace among
us all and in every section of the country.
The maintaioatiC3 of our constitution is the
safeguard for us all, and the testof true loyalty
is the manner in which we observe its provi
sions. ".To.day, the 30tb day of_May, and about
this hour, all over the North our patriotic peo
ple are engaged in strewing flowers over the
graves of their fallen heroes. It ia fit that we
who are absent, and who to so great an cxten
represent that people, should pause as w.
journey upon the soil which was the soene o
tffeir actions, and mingle with those who sur
vived the struggle upon the other side, and sec
it there are not some lessons to be learned o
ptofit to us all. If they could speak to v
fr»m their silent graves, they would urge us to
cherish no bitterness, but let the unpleasan
I nittnories of the past be forgotten.
The dead upon either Bide, could they bu
speak to va to-day, would admonish us that the
highest respect we can pay to their memories
is to dwell with one anoth r in.peace and bar
raony. They would urge us to let our only
strife be to excel each other in our cll'orta to
perpetuate the blessings of liberty. They
would beseech us to establish fraternal rela
tions among all the actora of this broad land
to avoid sectional animosities, and to heal up
the wounds of our late distracted nation. Ha.
the people of this country known more of each
other prior to 1860, the late unhappy cootes

I need not, sir, reiterate that we
are glad that we have met you. We have
been welcomed everywhere, but no greater [
demonstration has been given in our honor
than the one we have witnessed to-day. As I j
see this crowded room and look out upon the
crowded streets, 1 am led to observe that this
is emphatically a demonstration of the people.
At other places we have been met by the muni
cipal authorities and formally welcomed by the
representatives of the people. But here in
Greensboro the people themselves have come
out in their might, aud amid the cheering of
strong men and the sweet music that greets our
ear, and the eloquent words that have been
uttered to us, this reception seems to mo more
tan anything else, like a regular old fashioned |
lurth of July celebration away up North.
1 like to see this returning enthusiasm of tha
isses. It betokens that patriotism and love
of country yet live in tho hearts of the people.
We ara likewise glad to have met your diatin.
guished men who have gathered hero to greet
us from all parts of your State. We are par
ticularly gratified with the earnest and elo
quent words of welcome to which we have
listened from one of your most eminent citi
zens—(Governor Vance.) From what wo had
read of him—and the honorable gentleman
will pardon me for BtatiDg it—we were led to
expect to sco some violent, vindictive, and
fiery old bear sort of a being. In fact, we
have been told that he was the bead and chief
of the great Ku-Klux of the State.
Our disappointment, sir, is most agreeable.
We find instead an educated and cultured gen
tleman, who receives va with kindness and
with open arms, and extends to us the hospital
ity of the city where he lives; a gentleman
comparatively young in years and whom any
State in this Union might welldelight to honor.
The sentiments which he has uttered must find
a reponae in the hearts of every one present.
Upon viewing your beautiful valleys aa we
journeyed here, I am reminded of the valley of
the Chemung, where I live, and of tho valley
of the Suaquehanah, where many of those
around me reside. Your river compare favor
ably with our own beautiful Hudson, and your
climate cannot be excelled. The interest* of
New York and North Carolina aro identical;
the aafety of each lies alone in the perpetuity
of our government.
May success crown the efforts of your citizens
to build up your State, and we shall delight to
aid you in whatever manner we can. A grand
career of proaperity is open to the State of
North Carolina. It ia our desire that peace
and plenty may abound in your midst, and yoa
have our beat wishes for your Buccesß. The
kindness which you have manifested towards
us to-day will never be forgotten. May fra
ternal relations always exist between the peo
e of our country, and forever hereafter may
re dwell together in peace and harmony.
iong continued applause.)

I thank you for the kind and complim.ntaay

many years which baa interested us so much
this visit of such a large number of the in - I
lligent members of tho Northern Preas. We
gard it as an auspicious event and full of
c leering hopes. (Applause.)
Long years of civil atrile necessarily pro
i uced estrangement and bitterness between
he people of the North aud the South. A
ierce tempest of the wildest passions and pre- I
udices stirred to its utmost depths the great
icean of public feeling.
Thousands of tho brightest hopes and dear

the angry waves have not yet entirely sub

us. |R eoewe( ' applause,]

REMARKS OP HON. IOHN 11. SELKREU.
Mr. Mayor and gentlemen oj North Caro-
Una. The traveler wandering in the shadow
of the pyramids finds with each moment of his
progress that ho is more and more convinced
of tbeir strength, magniiioence, durability and
splendor, and at the same time also impressed
with bis own insignificance and nothingness—
so feel I, and I entertain many and grave doubts
whether I ought to utter a single sentence,
because the only posaible effect of my worda
will be but to weaken the deep and lasting im«
pression which has been made by the remarks
of the gentlemen who have preceded me. I
am but a gleaner where the harvest has been
gathered, and am, indeed, in the language of
; one of the great men of the world, "picking
] up shells near the great ocean truth."
We left our families one week ago yesterday
for a trip of recreation and enjoyment, of re
laxation and refreshment. We have progress
ed to thia point, and at each step we have been
more than gratified. Wo had but the single
idea originally, of rest, because we are all
Knights of the Quill, and are compelled each
and every day to pres3 forward by the man«
date: "I heard a voice greater than the voice
of many waters saying unto me, 'write.'" —
(Applause and laughter.) Our original inten
tion has expanded aa we progressed, until what
was first to bo recreation and pleasure
only, haß grown into the broader field of
duty, and we aro now mingling with your peo
ple, learning your babita aud custom.?, looking
at your soil and ita reaources, and forming as
rapidly aa posaible an intelligent idea of the
States we visit and the population with wbich
we may—the first time to many of us—be
brought in contact. We passed from Elmira.
to Baltimore, from thence to Richmond, and
thence to Petersburg. And here 1 may be per
mitted to remark that I have been greatly im
preased, if not astoniahed, at the diaappear
ance, entire dißappearancc, of tracca of the
late war. 1 stood upon the deserted earth
works where it sesms as if it was but yester*
day that tho iron hail of shot and shell swept
out life and humanity with the rapidity that
the leavos of the forest are swept by the hurri
cane. (Applause.) The gratification of tbe
change no man may measure. The sua shone
as beautiful overhead, and its beams danced
upon the landscape as beautiful as ever before,
birds sang in the branches, the progressive
arts of agriculture were around me, aid I re
joiced that Peace was again in tho lard, (ap
plause)—a Peace, thank Heaven, nevir again
to be broken, (loud applause) but one vbich is
permanent and enduring.
We returned to Richmond, from tle_ce to
Staunton and the White Sulphur Sp-ings of
Western Virginia, where nature pou-s forth
her treasures for tbe healing of the people,
where disease, like time and opportunities lost,
ever flee from the invalid, and Health, like the
future anticipation, ever waits up>n him.
We lingered in the shadows of the grand old
mountains and parted from them witt rogre',
to return and visit the Old North Stite. We
have been environed with dangers since the

tind and character; our young menbavebeen

applause and laughter,) and tho ettire party
lave surrendered to the hospitalities of your
>eople. (Renewed applause). We have
cached this place by a regular up. ard grade
of attention on the part of citizeis, just as
he engine mounts tho Alleghaniei, until we
lave reached the summit of hospitality and
kindness in the city of Greensboro and there
s no possibility of an equal elevation beyond.
[Applause). I can best illustrate this, per.
saps, by a story told of an Englishman, who
arriving in this country traveled westward
and went out on the prairies, where thunder
storms are mado to order of the most improved
pattern.
During the night a tremendous thunder
shower arose, and in the morning the stranger
was inquired of as to what he thought of it.
His reply was, that with a duo appreciation of
tbe importance of what he was about to utter,
and with a knowledge of tbe intense interest
felt in what he might say, bo emphatically as
serted that in his deliberate judgment that was
the heaviest thunder he evor heard iv bis life—
tonsidering the si_o of the town. (Loud
aughter.) We have hero the most enlarged
hospitality, and the kindest greeting that man
can give to man. This is my first visit to
North Carolina, or oven to Virginia. 1 have
just looked, for the first time, upon your broad
lands, so much of them unimproved, and it
seemed to me that there existed a mine of
wealth within your soil of incalculable value.
We have all heard of worn-out lands, aud 1
fear your system of culture has been detri
mental to yourselves and the agricultural and
material interest of your State. Your great
stap ! es are and have beeu, tobacco, wheat and
corn—ODe unvarying round of a routine which
■Vom, but returns but little to the soil,
is, too, upon a foundation of imperfect
lerlicial cultivation,
t you need is capital, intelligent labor,
otation of crops. If you can enlist
in capital, if you can employ intelligent
if you can turn into your State the
great tide of German and other emigration
which flows into this country by hundreds of
thousands, if you can build up rather than im.
poverieh your lands, you can become one of the
most productive and richest States in the
Union. (Applause.)
Health and prosperity, and the physical devel
opment of man only wait upon labor, and la
bor is, by the fiat ol the Almighty, mado hoß
orable. "The fable of the Atabian Nights was
at least, true, when it asserted tbat to obtain
untold wealth a ring must be rubbed and
then tbe genii would anjjear. To obtain from
the soil magnificent results, it must be worked
and cultivated and labored upon before it
yields its returns.
I merely theorize because I am not and never
have boen a practical farmer, and yet 1 see
broad acres unimproved. 1 see a soil tilled
with great ease and facility. I see in the
North the same character of soil, or even that
apparently lar less productive, yielding in
abundance, and I am impelled to the conclu
sion tbat through means, such as I have indi
cated, results which will build up and enrich
your whale State to a degree beyond your
wildest anticipations, would be certainly
renchea. Ca, ital is sensitive, aud only goes
where there is a stable and assured state of so-
Knd government. Tbat you have, or if
ye it not perfectly now, may have, and
you may with confidence look for tho
avel of this great element of material
traded the attention ofthe people and -ten
eminently successful. This is the commences
ment of the better days ; speed them on with
rapidity and to the utmost of your power.
(Applause.)
We have come among you a body of nen
holding all classes of opinions. We expect to
meet those who entertain an equally wide li
versify of sentiment. Opinions are not lie
result of an hour, but thegrowth of alife timi.
As tbe geologist shows you that strata ar.form
ed on strata and layer piled upon layer, form
the crust of the globe upon which we reside,
so thought upon thought and impression upon
impression build up and make life and char
acter. We differ— how can we come together ?
Only by conciliation and forbearance—only by
a respect for each other's views and by and
through mutual concession and compromise
will the common people of a common country
be again and permanently reunited. (Loud
applause).
In the late contest, you people of the Sooth
felt you were in the right—we people of the
North entertained the same deep convictions
of the justness of our cause as you did of yours.
But this is of the past, and of that we may not
with profit speak, except to gather from It ex
rience for the future ; a future bright with
promise to the Republic and the people—a fu
ture in which nothing butpeaco and advance
ment Bhall wait upon us, and a future wherein
the great heart of the American nation Bhall
be crystalyzed into ono sympathy, one duty,
and one destiny. (Applause, long continued.)
The excursionists met with a warm re
ception at Danville, and wero welcomed
by a speech from Major W. T. Sutherlin.
A sumptuous dinner was furnished them
at the Pattou House. They reached Rich
mond last night, and wero entertained by

We promised on yonterday to lay before
our readers to-day tha proof to sustain
ourselves in the declaration that Mr. Free
man was a Republican.
Wo call attention to tho card of Messrs.
Braselman and Underbill, who, this morn
ing, called upon Mr. Freeman in relation
to the matter.
Mr. Freeman denies auy knowledge of
the article of the Dispatch of yesterday,
aud says it appeared without his know
ledge or consent. Not knowing the same
card appeared in the Enquirer also, nothing
was said concerning it.
Mr. Freeman refusing to father these de
nials mule by ihe Dispatch and Enquirer,
renders it unnecessary for us to say more,
except to call upon them fur their author- j
ity for denying our statement. We shall j
dismiss 111ia subject by saying that whether !
authorized or not by Freeman to make the
assertions they did, the Dispatch and En- I
quirer will now be satisfied that the affair
js rather mixed, and that the subject is un
worthy of notice beyond their placing
themselves right, which we have no doubt
they will be able to do. Wo propose per
mitting Mr. Freeman to be a freeman in
his conduct as a councilman, hoping he
will not deny his reputation for honesty
and act a* doubtfully as ho has dano re
cently.

Washington, May 30. —Tho day has
ieen very generally observed as a holiday.
' 'he public departments were all closed and
all business suspended.
The exercises at Alexandria were of a

Hied, ond along tbe walks facing the
its' graves were arches tastefully fes
ed, under which the procession passed
while strewing flowers. During this cere
mony minute guns wero fired from a bat
tery on the grouud.
President Grant attended the ceremonies
at Arlington, together wilh members of
the Cabinet and other prominent govern
ment officers. The proceedings at the
main stand did not commence until 2

Lost and Found.—The little son of
Col. I. Hayes Shields wandered away from bis
father about 11 o'clock this morning. The
Colonel was at the time engaged in an import
ant case with a member of a law firm in bis
iillico, in the Marshall building, corner of
Tenth and Bank streets, and for the moment
lost sight of bis child, when, on enquiring, he
found that tbe little fellow when last seen was
going down Bank street, below the custom
house. This news nearly crazed the Colonel
for th* time, and an bonr was spent by him in
I the greatest agony searching for his child. It
! appears that some kind hearted gentleman
found the child, who, being a very intelligent
little fellow, though not three years old, told
tbe gentleman his name and where he lived,
when he was kindly returned to his parents,
who reside on the corner of Twenty-fifth and
Broad streets.
