THE SOUTH.
Speech Of Governor Walker,
of Virginia, at Fhila--
de1phia.

OF virginia, at El1ta-
de1p1lia.
FELLOW C1TzESs: It is source OF profound
qualification to ne that the people Of Pennsyi.
ralIyins so heartily and earnestly to the support
of Liberalism and the Liberal ticket. The peo-
plo Of this city, famous as - tha City of Broth
erly Love-" shonld stand shoulder to shoulder in
"a struggle which has for it's object tho restora.
ton OF real peace, puro government and frater-
nal relations to tho whole country.
The people of VirSinia,-that is, the real sub
stantial reople,-those who pay the taxes and
haye Al abiding interest in the weu-being and
prosperity Of the State, we're never mere united,
Harmonious, and determined in any carse than
they now Gre in the support Of Greeley aad
Brown. And this remarkable unaaimity Of
sentiment cannot be ascribed to the efforts Of
yelling up from the great mass Of tho people.
And what is true of Virginia is substantially
truo Of the entire South In fact, it has been
assorted that Mr. Greeley was indebted for his
nomination, and will be indebted for his election,
in large measure to the people Of the South.
He believed the assertion to be substantially
tT0e. Do you ask the Causes and the 6ignifI-
cance OF this unanimity of 6entiment at the
South for Mr. Greeley? Do you wonder at the
strange phenomenon Of a whole people rising up
