The, proceedings of the Virginia Consetva-
tive Convention will be entirely satisfactory to
the Conservatives Of the State. The sessions
of the body were conducted with propriety and
deoorum and nothing occurred, that We have
seen or heard of, to interrupt or mar the har-
mony and design of the assemblage. We are
glad that there were not set speeches, and, in
deco. very little speaking at all. 1t was action
and organization that we needed, and that we
shall have. In the Conservative. ranks here
will be no disorganizers or tactious aspirants.
THERE'S work to do-a State to be rescued
from the hands of the sppilers-a Common
wealth to be saved from the grasp Of Rad ical
distdrbers, This alone will engage the hea rts;
stimulate the zeal and occupy the time which
can be given to public affairs, aud of the W hite
people Of Virginia and their friends. ~!
