Virginia..

An unconditional Union Convention
was held at Alexandria last week, the
Hon. John Minor Bolts acting as
President The attendance was quite
large and great interest was manifest
ed in the proceedings. A Union Re-
publican party was organized and a
platform adopted which favors univer-
sal amnesty and suffrage, and a sys-
tenn Of free schools. Mr.. Bolts said
he had spent more money and time
in procuring pardons for rebels, with
out pay, than any man i'll the United
States, but finding that he had been
imposed upon, that the kindness
shown them had only made them
the more impudent and insolent, he
had abandoned the Presidents plan.
The fact is, and it is idle to deny it,
that the extreme leniency exercised
towards the rebels has worked great
mischief After the surrender of Gen.
Lee up to the time that President
Johnson turned his back upon the
party to which he is indebted for his
present position, there was a DISPOSE
ton on the part of the people of the
South to quietly accept the conditions
which the war, commenced by them
selves, had imposed on them But
no sooner did they find that par
don could be obtained by the mere
asking that instead of taking "back
seats" in the work of reconstruction,
as Mr.. Johnson said they must, an
invitation is extended to them to take
front seats than they became as
bold and threatening as they were III
the palmiest days of the rebellion.
In some sections Of the sunny south"
it is not safe for person to declare
Union sentiments, and as for the ne
gro, he is treated with no more con-
sideration than if he were dog.
Henry A. Wise whose neck richly de-
serves the halter, defantly talks the
rankest treason in Richmond and AL
exandria and his audiences loudly
cheer him All this is due, more or
less, to the policy of President John
son. Mr. Bolts, who certainly can
not be accused of being what is de-
nominated a Radical, frankly adj
mits this and is determined hereaf
ter to aid the really loyal men and
not devote his time and money in
procuring pardons for rebels.
The movement inaugurated in Nir-
ginia will, we believe, result in good
to the Union cause. A correspondent
of New York exchange, in alluding
to the Convention, says. The men-
who have been present at this conven
ton are those of marked ability, and
the discussions, though warm, and
closely argued have been kindly in
spirit Within the coming month the
State Convention will issue an address,
preparing the field for an active can
vass. Though this body has been
limited in its representatives, the ulti
mate results will surprise the most
sanguine expectations of its friends in
the number that through the State
will rally around the principles here
enunciated" The estimated num-
bers of reliable Union men in Vir-
ginia is ten or fifteen thousand, and
this number can be easily doubled
and perhaps trebled, by complete
and thorough organization; and jndg
ing from the men who have the mat
ter in hand we have faith to believe
that it will be done.
