The Conservative Ticket.

It'll with no common emotions that we place
this ticket at our masthead. In this cri-
sis empty compliments and old worn out
political clap-trap is useless. The issues at
stake are Of too solemn and awful import
the ship is too near running upon the break
crs for us, as people, to triae with each
other.
1t was our good fortune, for it is fortune
to shake hands with honest mon, to be pres
emit at the Conservative Convention. In that
body we did not see one who thought of self
or had, what was once known as "an axe to
grind" To look at the mongrel crew assem-
bled to nominate Gen. Wells; to see what
was done thereto become so disguised that
any gentleman would inevitably get sick and
then to look at the Convention Of Vir-
ginia gentlemen assembled, in the Old Ex-
change-well, language fails to express the
feelings of Southern man.
Col. Jno. B. Baldwin, the represen tative
man of Old Augusta, was complimented as
we never saw a man or people complimented.
He nobly declined the position and Col. r.
E. Withers was made our standard bearer
Col. Withers did not seek this position
was forced upon him. He is a gentleman, an
editor and was soldier 1t would be idle totell
his people abou. him-ask the soldier and he
will tell you.
Gen. James Walker-sSto JIM"

Confederate Genl. who inherited the name Of
the immortal and God-inspired, T. J. Jackson.

and his heart is as large as the State.
In conclusion, if we have any influence
with our people, We would urge upon them,
in all the sincerity of a heart that has never

and repulsive elements. The season Tor scar

already ensued aud the Richmond merchants

at heavy discount on prime cost. In the
meantime the former pensioners on State

Othello their occupation gone. 1t is to be
hoped that they will go too, and patrioticalIy
''leave Virginia for Virginia's good" which
would probably be the only act Of PATRIOTS m

Butler (the bcast) compares himself to dog
well, every dog has his day-but we have too
much respect for the canine race to admit
the justice of his comparison. His WE'LL
known "haDkering after spoons" and his
visual and moral obliquites would easily ac
quit him of any natural afinities with dogs,
except perhaps with those who have "rebel-
phobia," as Bill Arp would express it. 1t
must be admitted, however, that he does be-
long to the carnivorous class of animals, but
fortunately Of species SUI generis."
If you design publishing that tissue of
outrage politely denominated the "Constitu-
ton of Virginia, it is respectfully suggested
to have few copies carefully 'bottled up
as specimens for our future State Museum,
and which, some years hence might be APP
propriately added to an American edition
of Disraels .scuriositics Of literature" The
verbatim diatribcs Of the congo representa-
tives would constitute another valuable con-
tribution and splendidly serve to illustrate
the beauties of miscegenation as applied to
the English language These last might be
gotten up in the elegant modern style Of

each of the ebony orators and miscegenating
"carpet- baggers' would cheerfully furnish
their photographs Gncludng that of the
"Senogoper") Tor this purpose. The classic
features of the gentleman from Africa, and
the pure diction Of their eloquent" haran-
CUES would show ssunity of design" little
dreamed of by our benighted fore fathers !;
for row it is perfectly demonstrated that
'sAll partial evils universal good,
All dseord, harmony not understood"
We dislike to hear these unique opponents
of American civilization-these ideal types
of reconstructed union citizens so continually
compared to apes and balloons In the name
of the four handed fraternity We protest
against SO grlevous wrong: Tor We are very
sure that no anthuopoid apes, or well raised
gorillas would have voluntarily assumed re-
sponsibilities SO far tYanscending their ca
pacities; or, having assumed them, would
have behaved with such egregious folly, and
it illustrates the truth:
