What Docs is Meant

The tremendous reaction in the North,
against the whole policy OF the Radical party,
has astounded even the most sanguine It
dumfounds the Radicalsand they are search
ing about for reasons, like blind men in strange
countries. Cur extracts, from tie leading
Northern papers are SO full, that it leaves lis
little space for comment on ';wbat it means?"
But We believe the cause Of the reaction North
may be summed up in few words: ltmeans
that the mass Of the Northern people have de-
cided that this is wv ;lite Mans Govern
.nent )" that 100000 negroes have caused
trouble enough in this country, and chat they
must accept their position, as laborcrs, protect
ed in all their rights, or leave the country, as
the indians did. It means that the masses.
North, who gave their lives, and blood and
money. for the privilege Of settling this fair
Southern land, are not to be banked By the
negroes and mean whites in that desire. 1t
means that the passions of the war are dy-
ing out, and that Northern sohttc men will not
allow Southern white men to be ground down
by an inferior race. In the words Of the Char
lottesville Chronicle, it means Nationality,
Re union, Reconciliation, Negro Subordina
tton"
While We bid cur people be Of good cheer,
and rejoice with them over the changed face
Of affairs, we must still caution prudence and,
above ali, united action. The great necessi-
ty is the unity Of all the Conservative elements
Of the State and perfect organization. That
we hope the Convention to meet, December
11th, in Richmond, will give us. Each and
every true man must lay aside all prejudice,
and work for the one great object the defeat
of Hunnicut and his THE honor aud
welfare of Old Virginia.
A Convention OF the people Of Augusta is
called for the next County Court, Nov. 25th.
Let the solid men of the County turn out and
let us send OR ablest men to the State Con-
seryatiye Convention. 1t is no time to talk
to wrangle over the past. We are all in the
same ship, freighted with the hopes, the trea-
sures, the interests of unborn millions Of v}site
Virg;nians. The sblack flag has been de-
family thrown out, and Virginia expects every
true son to do his duty.

The Augusta Chronicle says: "The pre-

The most difficult part of the radical pro-
gramme is yet to be accomplished and that
which will produce quite as much opposition
from some Of the republicans" as from the
conservatives. We refer to the design, to
establish by authority of Congress, colored
suffrage in all the States, no matter what
may be the wishes and judgment of the peo-
pie Of the States We shall see, as the game
proceeds, how this project is to work, in va
