"
The State Conservative Convention.
Already the success of this movement
20 assured. We surrender our editorial
columns this morning to the comments of
the press Of tho State upon the PROPOSE
tion. We have also received responses
from Chesterfield and Amelia counties,
in both of which primary meetings are
called through our columns to appoint de-
lepates. Wy,he county holds q meeting
for the same purpose next Monday. Again
we call upon the people Of every county
to take action.
From the wythevlle Dispatch.
A Coop Novel; will be seen from
notice in another column that public
meeting of our citizens is called to be held
at the court house next Monday for the
purpose of sending delegates to Conser-
yatiye State Convention which is to meet
in Richmond on the 1lth December. Let
the meeting be well attended, and our very
best men selected as delegateS-men who
will be sure to attend-men concerning
whom there is no doubt as TO their politi-
cal status-men who are alive to the inte-
rests of their country-men who are wide
awake as to the dangers that menace US,
and who have the requisite ability and
boldneSS to meet the requirements OF the
hour.
Our people must be aroused-too long
already have SupineSs and apathy and
timidity had control Of them. By shame
fully, crminally shrinking their duty, the
State has been almost totally surrendered
to Loyal Leaguers aud negroes. BY prompt
and energetic action there is still q chance
to avoid the abyss Of the dark and fathom-
less pit upon whose brink we are standing.
Let not the pitiless wall Of posterity dis
turb our slumbers when we are gone with
the shameful rcproach that we were too
cowardly TO snatch them, when in our
power, from the blightiDg curse Of Radi-
cal and negro misrule and oppression.
Let US up and be adoing-the chance,
however small, let us improve. Organize,
organize everywhere, and organize early.
There is not moment to be lost. Form
clubs in every magisteria district, and let
us openly and boldly fight the dark and
midnight host of secret oath-b bound plot
tiers against the lives and property Of our
selves and our children.
We hope the citizens Of the adjoining
counties will take due notice of the time
and place of the Conservative State Con-
vention, and heed this appeal to organiza-
ton and action. Or political and social
-saluation is ut stahe.
From the Bedford Chronicle.
This is our only hope. By organizing
fnrnpS <pa down
tion which Hunuicutt aud Underwood have
already prepared for our degradation and
ruin, and wrest the government OF Vir-
gina from the hands of the vilcst crew
"that ever ruled, or reigned, or fell" We
beg our people to remember that the ia
Goblin cohorts are already thoroughly or
ganiZed for the desperate encounter which
is to decide the fate of Virginia, and We
call upon them in the name Of every feel
ing of duty and honor, every instinct of
manhood, every memory of our race, by
eurytting which honorable men prize-to
hold county meeting and adopt mea-
sures which will secure our representation
in the proposed Convention. GO TO
WORK NOW.
From the Stanton Vindicator.
There must be Observation-Disclosures
organization in either instance 10 insure
success.
We are decidedly in favor Of voting it
down as the more feasible plan and far
more to be desired by Virginians, but We
are willing to act in concert with any plan
to defeat the attempted Radical sway in
Virginia.
We urge, under any circumstances, the
necessity Of oncDess Of purpose on the
part Of the Conservative press and people
of Virginia, and thorough and complete
Conservative organization throughout the
State. We therefore suggest TO our city
contemporaries to take tue Initiative and
call meeting of the Conservative press of
the State at the most accessible point, to
unite all in one elldevised and predeter-
mined course, and to perfect plan for
thorough Conservative organization, with
out which it were worse than folly to go
into the next election.
Ia convention Of wiser men is called,
our friend of the Vindicator will have seen
before reading this.
FROM the Petersburg Indax.
The Richmond Examiner, We believe,
was the source of d suggestion that such
body should assemble in the capitol on
the 18th of December. Several of the
most influential journals in the State have
seconded this call, and i'll several counties
primary steps have been already taken for
the appointment of delegates. The plan,
the time, and place recommended, meet
our views; and we hope that throughout
Southside Virginia the citizens will at once
agitate the matter, and make arrange
ments for the election of representatives.
P. S.-Snce writing the above we have
received dispatch from Richmond an
nouncing that this proposition has been
officially made. Let it be met al once.
A STATE CONVENTION seems to be
generally conddcd,' as measure of
policy, to hold white mans convention
in Richmond at an early day. The ! lth of
December has been suggested. -Frede-

We agree thoroughly with the plan of
