Rssolpsf That the efforts now being made by
wickliRe, Valland ighaua, Bright, and John ..
Carlisle & Co. to Organize third party under the
plausible name OF the Peace OF Conservative par
ty. meets with our unqualified condemnation,
and we therefore call upon all Union men to set
their faces a. steel against every attempt to Or
ganiIe q ch party In Virginia, and that we re-
gard ali who aid and abet In the formation Of this
party a. sympathilsrs With the rebellion, and a.
deserving the unmitea ted scorn and contempt
Of every loyal man.
Rssolrsd, That we condemn In unmeasured
terms the Official course Of our Senator John B.
.
sented his constituents, as well on the new State
al on other questions, and we hereby to day, with
q unanimous voice, call upon him to resign his
seat In the United States Senate, that we may
give 1t to some man more worthy OF our conf
dence.
Mr.. Van vleet was followed by Col. Young Of
Kentucky and Mr.. Minor Of Alexandris, both Of
whom urged the necessity Of volunteering, and
h shs sia .na sS
plish that object. Mr.. Minor argued that II the
Government fails Il win be on account Of those
who strive to crush the rebellion by violations Of
the Constitution; and he urged to increased ac-
tivity and vigilance on the part Of all loyalists.
Hon. J. T. Close, Virginia State Senator, made
the closing speech. He was one Of forty-s who,
out Of population Of 1900, dared vote against
at the peril Of their lives, and amid threats Of
ssssination. Among the principal threateners
was Jackson, the murderer Of Ellsworth. Mr..
Close then gave a history Of secession In Alexan-
restored Government Of Virginia. Since the res
toration Of the Government, this people were get
ting on In kind Of loyal way, but the loyallss
vet could not protect themselves. The ladies
Pope's order No. IL. He had hoped Il would
drive secessionists from Alexandria. He wanted
to give them their choice, to serve Sod or Man,
mon. Two.thirds Of them would choose to serve
Mammon by openly espousing the rebellion,
while the ether one-third would serve Mammon
by giving quiet support to the rebellion, for the
purpose merely Of securing their wealth.
He, too, held thatthe only way to redeem Viz
and is last now; but he hoped to God she would
soon be FIRST again. He attributed her present
position to the accursed institution Of slavery.
Il was surprising with what tenacitv people held
on to the Institution. In western Virgins, where
q negro could not be found scarcely, they would
sink to he'll before they would abolish slavery.
That wal the reason John 8. Carlisle voted
against separation. It IL strange but true; Car
Isle could not now be elected constable In any
section Of West Virginia. Mr.. Close said he
had been, and was opposed to q division OF the
State, because II was revolutionary In Its tenden
cy, and looked too much like secession; but he
desired to gather in county after county, until
the restored government Of the whole Of Virginia
was perfect.
Ne had authority to raise q regiment, and he
would raise t. and that within sixty day., and we
Union men. He deplofed the too grea leniency
Of the Government towards rebels, and said IL
synpathiIers must be driven out He would
rsise his regiment for duty In the vicinity Of
