Its stated that the Conservative Central
Committee at Richmond have under considera-
ton the subject Of the propriety Of holding an
election for Presidential electors in this State
and their recommendation, will, whatever it
may be, probably be concurred In and adopted,
They will, doubtless, examine the arguments
pro and con-and give them their due weight.
From all that We have seen advanced In rela-
ton to the question, we believe that the polls
might be legally opened, and a ballot had in
this State. Whether, under the action Of Con-
gress, if the election should be held, the vote of
the State would be allowed to be counted, is
another matter. Whatever is thought to be
best for the interest of the Conservative cause
should be determined on quickly, as the Presi
dental e:ectien takes place in twenty days
from this time.

leaders not little, "and they threaten all man
ner of horrible things should the people Of the
