Petersburg Post.l
Last night about 10 O'Clock large
crowd OF citizens, accompanied by the
Artillery band, assembled in front of
the mansion of General William Ma
bone, on Market street, and proceeded
to tender him serenade. After re-
peated calls and much cheering, Gen
eral Malone came forward and deliV-
cred the following impromptu re-
marks:
GENERAL MAHONE'S SPEECH.
This distinguished Manifestation of
warm-h hearted consideration was un-
nee ssary, my fellow. citizens, TO as
sure me Of your attachment and es-
TEEN. The unmeasured kindness
which l have ever had ut your hands
in all the relations of lie, and the un E
broken confidence with which you
Ia al h,,nnroI I'm, For
public concern, form the Pride and
glory Of my life.
AS to the particular event to which
your presence now refers, l find ! 9TH
ing in all that was done in the fur
theraEce of your wishes and the pro-
motion of my candidacy, which | do
not most cordially approve. Your
cause and every interest were int lii
gently and elOquently maintained,
and with pluck and devotion worthy
of success. You have cause To be
proud of your knigbtly leaders on that
occasion, and to them l am laid under
life LASTING obligations of gratitude (;
nor must | omit he @ to express the
heartfelt thanks due by myself and
my friends to those generous people
in all sections of the State, from Elori-
Gus ACcomac to historic York. from
the Underwater, the Peninsula, the
Piedmont, the Southwest, and in the
Valley, who rallied to our banner with
kind alacrity, and who bIavely fol-
lowed it's fortunes to the end.
In the result, my fellow-citizens, l
shall be content if no one feels more
disappointment than / 10. For my
self have no regret other than that
which sympathizes with the failure of
that hope which generous Partially
and personal devotion had centred
upon me. The end we reached was
In the pursuit of that line OF policy
which had been considerably formed
at the beginning, formed without ref
ererce or prejudice to persons, but
with distinct respect to your better
interests and due regard to the just
claims of another great section of the
Commonwealth. TO your own grand
division of the State, whose people
have never faltered in any cause oil
! party or of patriotism, or to the Val
ley Of Virginia, was in all fairness due
| the honor which your Partially would
have conferred upon me. And so,
| fellOw-citiZens, it was determined 10y
my friends land / most cordially APP
! proved their decision) to yield the
that sense of justice and to that wis
dom of policy which your public con
duct has ever displayed. You there
! by recognize and enforce that princi-
! pie of reciprocity between the sections
| which, in the distribution of public
honors, has been too long and too Of
! ten disregarded.
Fellow-citiZens, this canvass has un'
| covered most important issue -one
which concerns the harmony of our
| Conservative party and the very life
of our Etate. Upon that grave ques-
ton. that of the public debt, have tC
| repeat here, In the most solemn man
/ ner, my conviction of the correctness
! of the views which l have hitherto
expressed. The interest of this people
! the honor of Virginia, aud the security
! ofthe creditor, alike demand that q
readjustment and equalization OF The
public obligations shall be made ano
| am more than ever persuaded tina
unless speedy aud earnest efforts b.
| directed to this end, bankruptcy, dis
honor, and open reputation must en-
sue.
That you will az always In the past
give a cordial support to { nominees
Of your Convention, am assured, an(
IL any hesitates, | invoke him here 4
carry out in full faith the pledgei
made I'm Richmond by his represen
tatives and mine. The gentlemen
thereon are one and all true Virgin
ians, and patriotic citizens, and they
should and will be elected. And now
fellow citizens, ] thank you again fol
your kindness, aud bid you goo'
night.
