The Press Should act in Concert.

We observe that the Charlottesville Chronicle
and Fredericksburg Herald approve OF the mode
we suggested last week of defea ing the Radical
plan of recon struction in its application to Va.
nv abstaining from voting, whereas the O's
match and Enquirer disapprove aud support the
policy of trying to effect the same end by voting
against the ratification Of the Constitution
Tn to this time, no other Conservative pa
pers that we have seen have expressed an opin
ion upon the subject at all. We know that Ii
is not only desirable, but absolutely essential
that al the Conservative presses in the State
striving to accomplish the same object, should
act in concert-they should all adopt the same
nol;cv. and there should be "a long pull,
strong pull, and pull all together.
Whilst we are convinced that the weight OF
the argument preponderates in favor OF the
plan of not voting, yet if majority OF the press
advocate the plan of voting, we think that those
in favor of the former plan should not only
cease to insist upon it, but should cooperate
with the majority in their plan, and should Ia
hor zealously to induce all to vote-though they
believe that it is not as safe as the one they
nrefar-for a want of unanimity On the part O.
the Conservative press would ensure the sue
cess of the Radicals and the ratification OF the
Consti uton.
On the contrary, if the majority of the Con
servative press in the State prefer the plan OF
not voting, those which prefer the opposite
should cease to advocate it, and should cooper
e. o0fIn
1t is all important that all the Conservative
presses should act in perfect harmony in adVo
cacy of identicaly the same policy. If the pol
lev of trying to vote down the Constitution be
agreed upon, then all should labor to ensure
the largest vote possible, after securing the lar
gest number of registered voters; but If the
policy of not voting be adopted, all should en-
deavor to get as many white men to register as
possible, and then to prevent as many as posi-
bic from voting at ali. Upon one question there
can be no division of opinion, and that is, thai
it il al important that every white man who
has not registered, and who possesses The req
uisite qualifications, should be sure to do SO a
soon as the opportunity be presented.
An effactual system Of organization, having
this object 10 view, should be at once adopted.
There can be no excuse for The white man who
will fail to register and who possesses the req
u;site qualifications to 60 So He is an enemy
to The liberties Of his country. aud should be 50
considered. He is Ra lical at heart.

Mr.. VIM F. Gordon, jr, has published a
long address TO the Public in the Richmond
Wing, in which he felcitates himself upon his
defeat, and says that, having heard from Au
gusta and Abemarle and also Louisa, he is
now done with politics, and that the retirement
which Mr. SouthaIl and Mr. Turkey so gener
ously thrust upon hin will, until Virginia be
delivered, best accord with the love he bears
her aud the sorrow which her present fate in

Impetus 60 Immigration.

Heretofore. schemes for the promotion Of I'M
migration into the Southern States have been
abortive, because the great majority of the
Southern people had no very strong motive fol
exchanging the laborers they had for others. =
The negroes have unwsely supplied such a mo
tive by suffering themselves to be the wiliing
tools OF the Radicals who ruthessly trampl
upon the dearest rights OF the Southern people
who are the employers of the negroes. The
Legroes have unwittingly given an impetus to
Immigration which it would not, otherwise, have
received. That they would be supplanted b.
white laborerS, In the course of time, We have
never doubted since the day they were enamel
pated, but, if they had not united themselves
in solid phalanx In opposition to the whites,
long time would have elapsed before this would
have occurred, and the process would have been
so gradual as not to have produced much dis
tress, but unless they speedily awake to a due
sense of their own interests and cease to allow
themselves to be pitted, by their Radical advi
sers and leaders and tyrannical masters, against
the Southern peope-the only friends they
have-they will suffer ''woes unnumbered''-
they will be supplanted by foreign and North
ern laborers, and the places which once knew
them will know them no more"-they will dis
appear as the morning mist and the early dew.
We observe that such Radical Journals as
have commented upon it, do not like the policy
we suggested last week to defeat the recon
struction scheme of the Radicals, to wit: To get
all the white men, who have the requisite quail
ifcations, to register, and then to have it uni
versally understood that none should vote, thus
imposing upon the Radicals the necessity to
cast vote in favor of ratification which would
exceed one half of the aohoJe registered vote, in
order to ensure thesadoption of the Constitution
which would be submitted by the mongrel Con-
vention. The fact that the Radicals do not like
that mode, recommends it the more strongly to
our judgment.

of Radical colored people ia this State, their
aiders and abettors at and since the recent elec
ton. Hundreds Of instances are given of ma
gnant feeling, incendiary language, menace and
violence. La several cases they have attempted
to mob those of their own color who would not
go with them-they have voted for and elected
the worst and most Ignorant men put up for
their suffrages-they have uttered threats
they have turned against those who have hither
to been their warm friends. and even helped
them to obtain the votes which they gaye--they
have denounced independent citizens for legal
resistance to their destructive schemes-aad
they have been as bitter and determined against
persons OF their own party who stood in the way
Of carrying out ultra measures as they ever were
