is ta raise it.
The great thing needed is protec

soever source,'ask for protection from

then, take it.
We cannot get foreign emigration
with tile profit we want from it. The
foreigner will not c-nne here, tor vari
ous reasons, principally, because the
climate does not Miit him. The his
tory of the world shows that the peo
pie a!way follow the line of their lat
titude. The Southern planter goes
Southward to the cotton States, toe
German goes to wheat and turnips

you have to bring it here. You will
increase sufficiently fast to populate
the country as thick as it need bo.—
There was never a greater error than
jto suppose that excessive population
produced prosperity. England is one
(of the most populous countries —her
i rich people are the richest and the
poor people are the poorest in the
world. This is always the ease in
densely populated c ut"tries ; the rich
get richer and the poor get poorer.
In conclusion, Gen. Toombs made
an eloquent appeal against the materi
atism of the ago. Cease, fellow oiti
zetis, said he, thinking that a man’s
happiness consists in what he pesses
es. With this subject as bis theme
the eloquent gentleman made a most
earnest and heart thrilling appeal for
truth and honesty and contentment,
as opposed to the belter skelter scram
| hie for wealth, regardless of the means
|by which it is acquired, which is fast
1 becoming the national sin.

THE SAD STORY OF IIIS ir.I.XESS' HIS
I.ASt DAY OX EAI.TH.
New York, November 31—Theac
counts published of Mi. Greeley r last
moments represent him to have been
conscious during the day. As usual,
in eases of inhumation of the brain, bis
physicial suffering wasextreinely light,
but the increased and morbid action
of the mind was evidetg; from exteri
or manifestations. At half past five
an old family friend, known as Auntie
Lawson, entered and approached his
bed Mr. Greeley, then roused by a
friend a iking, “Do you know who
this is ?” he feebly said “Yes,” streak
ed up his hand in greeting, then re
lapsed into his reverie. * Litter lie
was asked, “Do you know that you
are dying ?” and in the same manner
without tremor or emotion, he an
swered:“Yes” Again when asked
if ire recognized Mr. Reid, he looked
up with immediate recognition, lilt
ing his hand, grasped Air. Reid’s, and
feebly said distinctly : ‘‘Yes.’ When
asked it he was in pain, he laid his
hand upon his breast, but without
otherwise replying, and returned to
his semi-unconseiousnoss state, Ring
now with closed eyes and hands
sometimes twiching nervously, but
generally still. At hall past six he
stined uneasily and began to mutter
indistinctly something which friends
around him could not catch. His
daughter Ida, Mr an-l Mrs Stewart,
Air. Carpenter, Dr. Choate and Auntie
Lawson were all in the room, around
to hear the lait wo'ds. Mr. Gieeley
indi t■ mt’.y mummied for a wh.le, ;
and at last, feebly said : “it is done." I
There was no evidence of pain i:i
the !a.->t moment. Tne face •i a dly
change.l, only setting a little into a
took of perlect pa e. Dr. Choate
was by the bedside,- and putting bi
hand to Air Greeley’s heart, sad:
“lie is gone. ’
TTE Pill-g::kss op pis ii.i.xkss.
In an aeeo nt i arm ting at long li
tne c'osi g days of the late Air. Giee
hw. he is said during bis western tour j
behav-e never slept over four hours at
•a time. Through the day ie
wnu'd often doze in the err and catch
s arc! es of sleep. ITpon his return
to New York his wife was found to
be rapid y failing, and it was while i
pa-sing sic; piess nights at her bedside 1
that he first began to show signs of |
gre-.t mental depiessioii. On one or- :
c.ision while the opposition press was
ciincizing bis iktisbnrg speed), he
.said, “ It' they make the issue that
I’m the Rebel candidate, I'm bound to
he (ideated.” This consideration
seemed to weigh on his mind. Often
when h supposed he was alone, he
would put his h inds to his head ad
cry out-“Oh,” as though suffering in
tense pain. At length wtien his w ile
died he began to show maiiifgstnti >ns
of gi eat glue! and it was then he is
said Lo Lave shown the first positive
evidences of mental derangement. —
The November election seemingly
did not .interest him. liis defeat
did not seem to surpiise him. llede

news with peilect iudili’ereuce.
IIIS LAST LABORS.
On November Btii one day after the
pr.nt-ing ot liis famous card, an td.to
rial amc.e appeared in the Tribune,
headed “(’oneiusiuiis. ft was simply
a summing up of the lesiut of liie
elections, m vdceicy’s old style. This
was Ids last professional effort. About

Conflict condensed. One day late,

he became visibly aiikcled and said,
touching a remark as to his Candida

Ills POLITICAL VIEWS.
On November loth Air. Greeley
was at his home in Chappaqua, and a
prominent Libeial Republican Irom
Connecticut visited him, and found
him in very broken health. Conver
sation was had to the campaign.
Air. Greeley manifested much un
concern on the subject and to the
inquiry whether under the circum
stances it would be better for the Lib
eral Republican Committees to take
steps at once toward the maintenance
and consolidation of their organiza
tion or remain quiet and await the
turn of events, he promptly replied :
“Better keep quiet,” hnt beyond this
there was nothing to indicate that he
lelt any ieterest in current events.
FROM THE TRIBUNE.
So far as any of his associates knew
Mr Greeley was in almost as good
health as usual when, on the day after
the election, he wrote the card an
nounceing his resumption of the edi
torial charge of the Tribune. ITtsj
sleeplessness was known to have be
come gnatly worse, but for years he
had Suffered more or less Irom the
same difficulty ; and, as is now clear,
! sufficient allowance had not been made
tor the intense strain upon him
throughout the summer, and especial
ly during the last month ot his wife’s
illness. But it soon became evident
that his strength was unequal to the
hard task to which he set himself.—
lie wrote only three or tour careful
articles, no one of them half a column
in length. T lie most notable, perhaps
was that entitled “ Conclusions, ”
where u he su omitted his views of
the canvass. In all he wrote less than
three and a half columns after his iqs
turn, contributing to only four issues
of the paper. Two or three times he I
handed his assistant shortartieles, s;ty- j
mg, “There is an idea worth using, i
but I liavn’t ftL able to work it out
properly. You had beetter put it in
shape.” At last, on Tuesday, lie
abandoned the effort to visit the office
regularly, and sent for the family phy
sieian ot Air. A. J. Johnson, the friend
with wliotne he was a guest, and in
w hose house his wife had died. Ev>
erv effort was made.to induce sleep,
but he grew steadily worse, until il
became evident that his ease was crit
ical. Dr. George C. S. Choate and
others were calkd i.i consultation, and
finally it was decided to take him to
Dr. Choate’s residence, two or three
miles distant from Air. Greeley's own
country home at Chappaqua. Ileie
lie received lire imiwermiUing atten
lion of Dr. Choate, and here Dr
Brown iScqunrd, Dr. Brown, and oth
ers were ealh din ••onsultation. The
insomnia had devc o td into ii.fi mia
■*
lion of the brain, and under this the
\eneraud patent rapidly sank. At
times lie was deliriou.-; at other times
as < lear-headed as ever. He lost liesli
and strength with stalling rapidity ;
and in a few days the possibility ot
his sj eedy death l'oieed itself into un
willinging rec ignition. It was not,
however until Thursday last that h s
associates and family brought llieins
selves to admit, if id even then they
still clung to his faith in the vigor of
his constitution. W ednesday night
he failed raj.idly. Thuisday after
noon and evening lie seemed some
what'easier. During the night he .
slept very uneasily, muttering occas
ionally and frequently raising his right
hand. Toward morning he was more
quiet, ju diet ween eight and nine
o’clock he fell into a nearly uncon
scions condition, which continued
with some intervals through the day
He made occasional exclamations,
but many of them in consequence of
his extreme weakness and apparent in
ability to finish what lie began, were
unintelligible. About noon, however
lie said quite distinctly and with some
t’oice, “1 know that my Redeemer liv
eth.” During the day he recognized
various j e -pie, his daughter many
ii nes, the in ml e s o li.sj ouseliold at
Chajipaqua, Air. John R. Stuart, and
Air. Reid. On the whole, he suffered j
little, and seemed to have no more
than the ordinary restlessness which
accompanies the last stage of disease.
During the day his extremities were
cold, and there was no pulse at the
w rist. The action of the heart was
very intermittent, and was constantly
diminishing in force, lie had not
asked for water or been willing to
drink it since his stay at Dr. Choate’s
but diving Friday he asked for it fre
quently. Up to within half an hour
ot the end he manifested in various
ways his con ciousness of what was
going on around him, and even
swered in monosyllables and intelligi
bly, questions addiessed to him.—
About half past, three he sad very dis
tinctlv, “It is done;” and, beyond the.
briefe.-t answers to questions, this was
his last utterance
Ain. Gleei.ey’s Religious Belief. -
Air. Greeley’s religious belief was that
ot a Unitarian Resiorationist. He
says in a letter to the Rev. J. AI. Aus
tin : “I believe that the moral charac
ter formed in this life will be that in
which we shall awake in the life to
come, and that may die so deeply
stained and tainted by lives of trans
gression and depravity, that a tedious
and painful discipline must precede
and prepare for their admission to the
j realms ot eternal purity and bliss.”
In every generation we should seek
to prepare men for another life ; but
the best possible preparation for anoth
er life is one which shall make this
world at the same time, a fairer, pu
rer, nobler, aud belter earth to live

What Is Trouble.
A company of Southern ladies
were one day assembled in a lady’s
pailoq when the conversation chanced
jto turn on the subject of earthly af
• met ion. Each had her story of pe
culiar trial and bereavement to relate
except one pale, sad looking woman
w hose lustreless eye and dejected air
showed that she was a prey to the
deepest melancholy. Suddenly arous
ing herself, she said in a hollow voice
not one of you know what trouble
is.
j “Will you please, Airs. Grey,” said
the kind voice of lady who well knew
her story, “tell the ladies what you
call trouble ?”
“I will, if you desire it," she replied
“for I have seen it Aly parents pos
sessed a competence, and my girlhood
was surrounded by all the comforts
ol life. I seldom knew an ungrati
fiod wish, and was always gay and
light hearted. I married at nineteen,
one I loved more than all the world
besides. Our home was retired, but
the sunlight never fell on a lovelier
one, or on a happier household. Years
rolled on peacefully. Five children
sat around our table, and a little cur
ly head still nestled in my bosom.—
One night about sundown, one of
those fierce black storms came on
w hich are so uncommon to, our South
ern climate. For many hours the
rain poured down incessantly. Morn
ing dawned, but still the elements
raged. The whole Savannah seemed
nil -at The little stream near our
dwelling became a raging torrent.—
Before we were aware of it, our house
was surrounded by water ; I man
aged w ith my babe to reach a little
elevated Bpot, on which a few wide
spreading trees were standing, whose
dense foliage affoidedsomc protection
while my husband and sons strove to
. ave w hat they could of our prop
city. At last a leaiful surge swent
away my husband and he never rose
again. Ladies no one ever loved a
husband more, but that was not troub
le.
“Presently my sons saw their daiD
ger and the struggle for life became
me only consideration. They were |
as brave loving boys as ever blessed j
a mothers heart, and I watched their
efforts to escape, with such agony as
only mothers can feei. They were so
far off 1 could not speak to them,
closing nearer aud nearer to each oth
er as their little island grew smaller
aud smaller.
* “The sullen river raged around the
huge trees; dead branches, upturned
trunks, wrecks of houses, drowning
cattle, masses of iubbish all went
floating .past us. Aly boys waved
their bauds at me and then pointed
upward. I knew it was a farewell
signal, and you, mothers can imagine
my anguish, I saw them all perish
and yet that was not trouble.
“I hugged my babe closer to my
heart, and when the water rose to my
feet, I climted into the low branches
of the tree, and so kept retiring be
fore it, till an All powerful hand staid
the w aves, that they should come no
further. I was saved. All my world
iy possessions weie swept away ; aJj
m\ earthly hopes blighted—yet that
w as not trouble.
“Aly baby was all I had left on
earth. 1 labored night and day to sup
[»oi t him and nut elf, aid sought to
tiaiu him in the iff lit way; hut as he
grew older evil companions won him
away from me. He ceased to care
fur his mother’s cafressis ; he would
sneer at hev entreaties aud agonizing
prayers. He left my humble roof
that he mi-lit be unrestrained in the
juirsuits of evil, and at last, when heat"
ed l>v wine one night, lie took the life
of a lellow being, and-ended his own
upon the scaffold. Aly Heavenly fath
er had tilled my eup with sorrow be
fore, now it ran over. That was
trouble*, ladies, such as I hope His
mercy will spare you from ever exper
iencing.
Theie was not a dry eye atnongher
listeners, and the warmest sympathy
was expiesstd for the bereaved moth
er, whose sad history had taught
them a useful lesson.
A physician, on presenting his bill
to the executor of the estate of a de
ceased patient, asked, “Do you wish
to have my bill sworn to ?” “No,"
replied the executor ; the death of the
deceased is sufficient evidence that
you attend and him personally.'’

The President’s Message.
We gave our readers the full iues
sage ot the President yesterday in a
supplement.
The document is a very practical
one, dealing in narration and sUitis
ties. It recounts the acts of his ad
ministration for the yea:*. It states
the Alabama claims settlement by the
Geneva tribunal, and the Sun Juan
boundary decision, as fixing up two
matters of serious difference bet ween
this country and England It how
ever makes no allusion to the ridieu
lous farce perpetrated by Grant’s ad
ministration in pressing the “Indirect
damages” claim, nor how it stutlified
itself by rejecting Reverdy Johnson’s
treaty, and afterwards substantially
adopting it.
Our foreign relation* are reported
all serene. The suggestion is made
to invite the International Statistical
Congress in this country in 1870.
Recommendation is made to appro
priate money to have the United
States represented at the Vienna Ex
position.
Appropriation is urged to earry on
the Mexican Claims Commission. A
reference is made to Cuba, hoping
that slavery will be abolished there.
Spain and the South American repub
lies are making peace ; also Brasil
and the Argentine Confedracy. The
United States is friendly with us.
Grant urges the transfer of the ter
ritories from the Department of State
to that of the Interior. Aid to dis
tressed seamen is recommended.
