RICHMOND, Dec. 12.-The Con-
servative Convention met this morn
ing. The Committee reported the
following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
l. They recognize that, by the re-
suit of the war. slavery has been
abolished, and it is not the desire of
the people Of Virginia to reduce
to slavery again people emancipated
by the events of the war, and by an
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
2. They assert the right of Vir-
ginia to be restored to the Union, and
declare her intention in good faith to
perform her duties to the Union.
3. They protest against the govern
ing of Virginia in any way not defined
in the Federal Constitution.
"a. This resolution adopts the IAN
guage adopted at the Cooper Insti-
tute, New York, that a military Gov
ernment is subversive of the funda-
mental ideas of our Government, and
its object, which is to subject the
people of the Southern States to the
rule of race just emerged from
slavery. is abhorrent to the civiliz zation
of mankind and to the Northern peo-
pie, IN surrendering, as it does, a
third of the Senate and quarter OF
the House of Represe natives, which
are to legislate over the United States,
to the dominion OF an organized class
of emancipated slaves, who are with
out any of the training, habits or ira

After adjournment, Hon. r. NJ. I.
Hunter made a short address, in
answer to calls. He said that be-
tween slave and military rule he pre-
ferred the latter; for the men who
welded the latter were of his own
race. He cited cases of Hayti and
Jamaica as results of negro rule, and
believed the Radical majority in Con-
gress, if they expected to control the
blacks and prevent their excuses,
would find themselves wofully mis-
taken. To give. the 'acks the
pOHCI VI LII Oi4C AJOubuC1u
States would be the highest crime
against nature, and he believed when
the North saw the results, there
would be a reaction, which would
sweep such governments from the
face of America. This generation
has suffered, and may suffer more, but
the State will live and look back to
the period as only a dark episode.
The scene now passing only make
men truer to those States which gave
them birth.

voted the Republican ticket, and who
are distressed therefor by disloyal
landholders. Three colored and two
white Republicans spoke in favor aud
three conservatives opposed the reso-
luton. The speakers took a wide
political range. Pending the discus
sion, the Convention adjourned.
