A real Southern Rights Democrats Convention Is IN
session tbs city, aud nil readers believe US when
We tel them hi the Virginia Democracy are represent
"a co. the body by only one delegate twas actually
melancholy behold Two long seats in the Hall, Labelled
"I-y'1ic, and capable Of accommodating about thr-
" lerso,s ana VET With only single gentleman there 70
occupy them We lookel all about and around US, both
inside aid outside the Hall see if any of the Charles
ton delegates present, and whether or not they
meant come rwtri and take seats in the Convention
Nr. FsuER alone of tn VIZ ui, delegation made his APP
Iear me- h,re with two benche, TO himself, be sat
a'on bis lo-y. S'ue i've or six other Virginia dele
estel were "sosl g about streets aud the out
skirt Of he audience, looking unhappy, gloomy and
p caiiar as if tie we're still mourning the de
mise Of the national Democracy, and would not be
eomior,ed. We felt melancholy in contemplating the
troubled cOunenances and gal. of these Charleston
delegates, who would not unite with their Cotton
States brethren in upholing the rights and honor OF
Virginia and the SOltl--men who have camored
90 loudly for Southern Conference and for united
South and vet when golden opportunity is presented
to them refusing 20 unite conference with their own
political brethren yom the Cotton and other Southern
States and thereby di,a.j'aJ the South and actually
pa sing into the hands Of the enemies Of the South at
the North We did indeed feel very, very sad and, in
agony Of spirit cried on; poor old VII 5nia-he only
party that sound the goose, is sound no longer
tor your Democratic delegates those peculiar friends
Of YOUR peculiar institution, have absolutely refused
even 70 enter the doors of pyofessedy Southern Rights
Democrats Convention"
Under these circum,.ances il We were member
u good standing of the celebrated Spartan association
% Richmond DO You know what We Woall do Why
ge would ,il meeting Of the SpartAns this very morn
ing At O'Clock aud iusis. that the SparIans at least
those uioui,sb Sneathousean Democrats, who have o
often fought b-I aud died for the great Democratic
psrty-shouId Doe ahly represented ia the Southern
Rights Democratic Convention We would see 10 1t that,
by Tie uompd.ude aud devotion OF the Spartans on this
occasion should be redeemed the aud fame OF the
Virginia Demo,racy so uuNiscly put IN Jeopardy by the
course of the Virginia delegation to Charleston. We
would 10 chat very thing and what We would DO were
Ne Spartan, We earnestly cL upon the bona tide Spar
tan, to do themselves aud 10 t this very morning.
Lee NOT NJ FsarH have the honor and The glory Of rep
rsseuuug the Virginia Democracy all solitary and alone
And st not Le character Of the Virginia Democracy
rousy suffer abrold by the party not being fully repre-
seated in the Richmond Convention.
These friendly suggestions and aimoaitons We com
mend to the promp, CONSULTATION o! all true Virginia
Democrats, and especially the SPartans. We have 10
personal interest in this uatter-our only object being
the preservation OF the integrity the harmony and the
I good name OF the Democratic party i'll Virginia.
