TllE KIND OF GOVERNMENT WE WANT.
Ex-Governor Walker, Of Virginia, had q
very cordial reception at the great Tildcn-
anl-ucndrickS ratification meeting OF the
New York Democrats. In addressing the
vast multitude he said:
Mr.. Chairman and felow-citizens l con-
.ratulatc you most heartily upon this inn
mru>c demonstration tonight. 1t is IN
omen ni victory in November next. 1t will
cheer and vitaliZc Democratic faith every
where throughout the broad limits OF our
common country. 1t demonstrates that the
s,rr9t Democratic heart Of New York is
sound 10 the core. [Great applauSe.] 1t
proves concluSivcly that no matter what
differences Of opinion may exist among you
uron local questions, when summoned to
the conflict upon the national battle
field union and harmony characterize
the New York Democracy, and side
hv side and shoulder to shoulder
they march forth to conquer the
common enemy. Renewed applause.] 1t
proves. too, or, rather, Is an Illustration OF
the old Democratic principle OF action-old
a. the Democracy itself, long known but lit
tie appreciated sometimes by our adTersa-
ric>-and that is, that no matter how much
we NAV tight in our own party for the adj
the nomination is made. when once the will
OF the majority has been spoken, discord in
our ranks 1T once ceases, union and harmo-
ny At once characterize our action, antago-
nists fall into line, and they march forth,
each cmulOu> only rs TO which shall con-
tribute the most for the overthrow OF our
common enemy. [Applausc.l This is as it
should be always.
EVIDENCE or THE HIGHEST PATRIOTISM.
1t i evidence 10 my mind Of the very
highest patriotism. This sinking OF indi-
yidual preferences to the common veal. this
surrender OF individual preferences to the
will Of the many, this subordination Of
local and minor questions to the great over
chadowing necessity OF rcdccming the coun-
try from corruption and miSrulc, are acts OF
the loiticSt patriotism, and harbingers OF
triumphant victory in November next
Loud applauSe.l Men realize the patriotic
Injunction OF the poet who exclaimed
For though ten thousand altars bear
ON each to heaven 4 different prayer,
~ light of sun or light of moon
The irccinan's summons Will he one.
But, cheering and gratifying as this posi-.
tipn OF the National Democracy is, hopeful
;,> is this Tnanimity throughout the entire
country. YOU will pardon Inc If claim he &c
Tonight that my section OF the country Is,
perhaps, more unanimous in the support OF
the Democracy in this campaign than any
other section. OF the eleven southern
States. ten, in my Judgment, will give their
votes for Tilden and Hendricks. The elev-
enth, poor down-troddcn South Carolina,

the land Of Radical robbery, thieyery, and
crimc-So Carolina, which stands to-day
the purcst and completest illustration OF
Radical reconstruction and Radical mis-
rulc-Shc may cast her vote for Hayes. But
with this one single, lamentable exception,
Mr.. Hayes, in my judgment, will not re-
ccivc an electoral vote from the entire
South.
C0LoRED MEN FALLING IN LINE.
The white pcople-and when / say the
white people, l mean the people who pay
the taxes and support the Government-the
white people Of the South are almost unani-
nous for this ticket, and even our colored
brethren are falling into line. [Cries OF
"Good,' Good" and applause.l Already
in my city OF Richmond there are two
fourishing Tilden and Hendricks clubs
composed entirely OF colorcd men; and the
colored people throughout the entire South,
the intelligent and better portion OF them.
are gradually discovering that their
true interests lie not IN antagoniz-
ins the white people but in coales-
cling and acting with them. Yes, gen.
uemcn, the more intelligent they become
the more they realize the duties and respon.
s!bilities OF the citizenship that was thrust
upon them, the more sure are they to unite
with the really interested parties Of the
Government. In every section Of the South
the more intelligent they become, the more
apt are they TO unite with the white people.
just as fast as the scales Of ignorance fall
from the eyes of the colored people, just
so fast as they get their eyes open to the
situation OF the country, the wrongs and
outrases perpetrated upon them and the en-
tire people by the Radical party, just so
surely do they become Democratic colored
uen.
TREATMENT OF NEGROES IN VIRGINIA.
But, fellow-citizens, wherever-and this
Is matter desire to call your particular
attention to-wherever in the South Demo-
cratic or Conservative rule has obtained,
there you lind the colored man fully pro-
tected III all his rights-in every respect
equal to the white man. [Applause.] Did
you ever hear OF any bloody rows in the
State OF Virginia since she was reconstruct
ca! Have you ever heard OF the murder Of
negroes within the limits OF the Old Do
mlnion since she has been restored to the
Cnlon! Oh. no; and the reason is because
her taxpayers are white citizens who have
gone down there and identified their for
tunes with those people; not carrying q
carpet-bag to run away as soon as they got
II iull. They obtained the control of the
Government, and administered its affairs
honestly and truly for the best interests Of
All concerned, be their color what it might
be. [Cheers.]
TEAR FOR SOUTH CAROLINA.
The other day there occurred down in
this poor State Of South Carolina (and
a patriot can hardly mention the name
OF South Carolina without dropping
Tear, Tor no one who is familiar with the ter
rlble wrongs that have ground that people
INTO the dust can fail to have his sympathies
intensely aroused in their behalf )-the other
aay there occurred an affair within the lin.
