We call upon every white man every true
Virginian in this State to bestir himself Let
all who can register be sure to do so when the
opportunity shall again be offered But, above
all, let the work Of organization proceed now
Committees should be at work The names OF
all unregistered white voters should be canvass
ed and every proper effort be made to induce
them to do their duty in this regard. The peo-
pie should be enlightened, and efforts should
be made to send newspapers and documents into
those sections of the State that are compare
lively isolated, where the people have not had
opportunities to get information of the infamous
doings of this Convention and its sponsor, the
Radical party. No stone should be left un-
turned no effort spared to arouse the people
against an instrument that would be degrading
to our State in the last degree. Better military
governmental government of force, to be KEEP.
over US forever, than that Virginians should
seem to acquiesce in the shame and iniquity
that have been prepared for them by those
claiming to be Convention of our people We
should, under no circumstances whatever, agree
to accept universal negro suffrage North

reject with dsdain-and must, therefore, vote

Read the Address.

We publish in this issue the address Of the
Conservative members of the Convention to the
people of the State. None should fail to read
the whole of it. 1t is, in the language of the
Wing, blasting exposure Of that monstrous
and Internal thing, the spawn of malce and cum
ming. which is submitted to us for adoption as
a Constitution. Read it carefully, and then
pass it to your neighbor, and let it go from
hand to hand, till every citizen Of Virginia is
fully informed Of the Unreasonable enormities
contrived for them and is thoroughly and indig
nantly aroused 1.-THE race to which We belong,
with their immense superiority in numbers as In
everything else, do not stamp into dust the vile
work of the late conspirators at the Capitol,
they will deserve to be, what they will become
with that work triumphant, the slaves OF slaves,
beggars and outcasts, subjects for the pity, the
contempt and derision Of the world.

"Eiass Poor Yorick! I"

On Wednesday evening last, Coy. Peirpoint,
Charles Lewis and 'Knee-deep' Lewis Lindsey
(negro) made speeches on the Public Square,
in Richmepd-Goy. Peirpoiat being introduced
by Ben Scott, negro. Peirpoint endorsed the
constitution of the Mongrel Convention, and
complained that Gen. Schofeld wrongfuly re-
moved him from office to provide for the young
gentleman from Detroit Michigan-General
Wells ROW Governor of Military District No. /.
Some time since, Cog. Peirpoint had the
esteem of the people Of this State. He has
foolishly sacrificed it-he has identified himself
with the worst class of Radicals, and now ''there
is none so poor as to do him reverence. y
Alas poor Yorick !" His fate points a
moral, - if it does not ''adorn tale. Others
might profit by it.

The Character of Inries.

If the Constitution of the Mopgrel Conven
ton be ratified, our jaries will be composed ex-
clusivey of negroes and white scallawags who
will take the iron clad test oath.
The seventh section of the third article re-
quires all officers to take the iron clad test oath,
and the third section Of the same article reads
as follows:
GAN persons entitled to vote and hold office,
and none other, shah be eligible to sit as jurors
1t will thus be seen that, if the Constitution
be adopted, our juries will be composed exclu-
siyely of negroes and scallawag whites who will
take the iron clad test oath.
The white man who will vote for such Con.
stitution deserves TO be kicked by every negro
he meets
