CONSERVATIVE ORGANIZATION IN VIRGIN
AS--We trust that the efforts now being made
to effect a thorough organization Of the Con.
servatiVe men OF this State, by registering, by
determination to uphold Conservative princi-
plesp by united opposition to Radical misrule
aud Radical plans, and, when the time comes,
by voting, will be eminenty successful, and will
becontinued until the whole, full, strength Of
the men Of constitutional principles, can be
consolidated and used efectually at the polls,
on an and every occasion, 1t is work in
which every one who desires the future peace
of The country, and the future prosperity of the
State, and its escape from the domination of q
party who are using q portion Of the popula-
ton for their own purposes, by placing the
other and larger portion In a position of sub
lection, can engage heartily and zealousy. 1t
should be carried on calmly, quietly, peaceably ;
With no undue excitement either Of speech or
action Rising high above mere party move
ments, the efforts Of which We speak and which
we; recommend, should be directed for the pur-
pose alone Of serving the best interests Of the
government under which we live, and the State
to which we are SO much attached. Neither
offices, nor honors nor place, nor power, nor
the election of favorites, are now to be looked
after or cared for, in comparison with the great
and noble design Of restoring the Constitution,
and restoring the State Of Virginia to what it
was intended to be under'that Constitution.

the country Was prepared by a committee OF
twenty, and submitted by Chancellor Inglis 1t
isa strong document, and decribes the condi-
ton Of the country, and protests against negro
suffrage. It was unanimously adopted But
alast what does it avail, for the present and
while the reconstruction of tue State, under
negro supremacy, is going on!
~ The New York Post (RadcaD admits that
the high handed and unconstitutional schemes
proposed by the Radical leaders in Congress
such, as the suffrage law to be imposed upon
the States-the Impeachment business-the
eonfacation threats-the gigantic plans for sup
porting and educating negroes at the expense
Of the nation--have caused the recent uprising
and rebuke of: the people. s..., ii .,; .-fa
The National Intelligencer, referring to the
