know that his speech was an insult to their
Understandings. 81 &
Mr.. WELLS threatens to fight. He declares
that il the whites decline to allow the me-
groes the exercise Of the full rights of citi-
senship, must take II from yoa.e,
How if the disfranchised whites preach the
same doctrines What would General scHo-
FIELD say II they we're to hold a public
meeting In the Capitol and threaten to take
their rights by forces Or is it true that
white mems rights are not worth protect
ing THAT none but negroes are to be con-
sidered as deserving the privileges Of free
men:9 rs
Perhaps the richest thing in Mr.. WELLs's
speech is his declaration to crowd Of igno-
rant negroes and vagabond carpet-baggers
that the way togA the white people of Vir-
ginia to vote for negro equality is to edu-
cate them! The force of folly and impu-
dence could no further CO." 1t is as if
BEAST BUTLER were to tella crowd ofthieves
that the way to make men good men like
themselves is to educate them. 1t is as il
DoSSELLY were to say that Mr.. DAVIS must
be educated until he is able to rival him in
the use Of Billingsgate. Education, in
deed! Negroes and carpet-baggers talking
about educating the people Of Virginia
But We are giving too much Importance
Al 80 no
AS he has sown, 80 let him reap. Let him
look to negroes and to JOHN Brown white
men for support and countenance. Let him
educate his own associates to regard and
treat the negro as an equal. Let him take
his rights Shy force" and see whether we
cannot use as much "force" as he can.
Let him go back
ITO the vile State from which he sprung
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.''

The paragraph in yesterdays issue pre-
dieting that Mr.. JOHNSON would not be
turned out of Office before the meeting of
the Chicago Convention unless WADE should
first decline to be candidate for the Vice
Presidency was written, of course, before
we received hetelegram stating that WADE,
WILSON, and CoLFAX, had come to an un-
derstanding relative to the matter. This
telegram is substantial yerifcation of the
prediction. WADE declines to be Acting
President instead Of declining to be can
didate for Vice-President. The point of this
prediction was that WILSON and CoLFAX
would not allow WADE to become acting
President time enough to use the patronage
of the office to secure his own nomination
for Yice-President. This will prove true,
we think. JoHNsON's friends, therefore,
would do we'll to hurry up the vote upon
the question of his guilt.

The Conservative State canyentson::.

Inc. Gonseryatiye STATE Gal!as asa.:-.
Elsewhere in our columns viii be found
report of the fret day's proceedings Oh.
the Conservative State Convention. the
Convention is composed Of many OF the
best men in Virginia. It represents truly
the people Of the state--ae Mr. BALDWIN \
said al the culture, oil the refinement, oil
thu, we have been accustomed to regard as
composing the society Of Virginia. There
are some men Of national reputation in the
Convention, BIZ. the most Of them are
men who have never been known as politi-
cians-substantial, representative men, Of
excellent sense, sound Judgment, and dis
eliminating minds. The spirit manifested
in the deliberations has thus far been most
commendable. There seems to be but one
desire and that is to do whatever Seems
hest calculated to promote the real interests
of the State, preserve nntarnished her
honor, restore her on honorable terms to the
Union, and place her once more in the road
to prosperity and fame.
The resolutions cannot he objected to by
anybody. They provide for nominations
without reference to the ability Of the can
didates to take any test-oaths. This does moi
mean that test-oaths are matter of no mo-
ment, but that inasmuch rs Congress hat
prescribed none such for us, but left Ills free
to elect to Office any man not disqualified
by the HOWARD amendment, the Con.
vention would not enter into the question
of the propriety Of complying with the
requirements of the Constitution offered fol
our adoption by the late Negro Convention
in this; city. We trust that the Convention
will not nominate any man who, if the Con
stitution be submitted in sections, and rati
fed as to oil except the test-eaths, could
not, though elected, take the Office because
ofthe operations of the HOWARD amendment
We prefer to await further action before
saying anything more on the subject. i

:
FoRNEY announces that the Northern Me-
thodist General Conference, now in session
at Chicago, will probably pass resolutions in
favor of the conviction of Mr.. JOHNSON.
Nothing could be more likely. That Church,
rs we have more than once stated, is little
better than a Radical organization. 1t is
dangerous to the liberties Of the people Of
this country, or would be if it were likely
to continue to increase in power as it has
done for some years. But we have no fears
on this score. It will itself split up before
long.
OF course there are many excellent men
in this Church. We cannot doubt the fact.
But it's leaders are not such as we should
wish to trust with political power.

them, we acknowledge that they may be Ii
the righta acknowledgment which ne
are not willing to make.
Nevertheless, We shall not complain i
the Convention, in its wisdom, shall decide
that We are wrong, and authorize its can
vassers to divide time with the scallawags.
We give our opinion only for what it is
worth ss....

to be submitted to the people for ratification
we find clearly expressed recognition of
the equality in rights of oil citizens, with
out regard to race or color; q just and pro-
per provision for the education of the peo-
pie an improved and more equal system
Of taxation; and reasonable provision for
the security of home, the necessaries Of
life, and the means of support, exempt from
forced levy and sale; which will add to the
comforts and improve the condition Of the
poor of our people without impairing the
faith of contracts or the security upon
which credit must rest. We believe the
Constitution, although not perfect instru-
ment, must challenge approval MS by far the
best Constitution which has ever been SUBJ
mitted to the people for their ratification.
"a. That no republican form of govern
ment can permanently exist or be wisely
administered without general education
of the people. We therefore favor and
will cordially support the establishment of
a system Of free schools for the education
Of all, and supported by general taxation.
as. That the Republican party of the
State of Virginia pledges its influence and
efforts to secure the removal Of oil disabili-
ties for participation in the late rebellion
from citizens in this State, in accordance
with the principles Of the reconstruction
laws and the changed condition and neces-
sites of our country.
SO. That we will urge upon the General
Government the speedy and equitable set
Element Of the claims of all loyal citizens OF
the United States on account Of losses slls-
tanned by them during the late war, for pro-
perty taken or supplies furnished for the
use of the Government in its efforts to sup
press the rebellion.
at. That the thanks of the loyal people
of this State are due to the Republican
of Congress. who, by their earnest
labors in behalf Of human liberty, have
seen the land redeemed from the curse Of
slavery, and have nationalized the princi-
pies of LIBERTY and EQUALITY that We

LOVE SONG.
By CHARLES SWAIN.

I wishny love was some fair stream,
Soft singing through her woodland way
And some star, whose loving beam
Might in her bosom rest its ray.
] wish my love was like the dew,
Half hidden meath the roses lip,
And the young dawn, trembling through
The fragrance none but might sip.
I wlsh--lil1e the flowers that fondly meet
And cheer and charm the humble spot
Our lives might blend while life was sweet,
And even death divide us not.
OUR LOVE SONG.
by xUBA DAM.
wish my love were lemon punch,
With Strawberries floating in the cup;
And she and could meet at lunch
Then with a straw-I'd suck her up.
wish my love was like the Jew,
And had gold laid away In store
Dye think I'd read exchanges through
Or write for papers anymore7
! wish--like flowers that fondly meet,
And bloom to furnish bees their honey,
We had some way-while life is sweet
Ofkeeping house-without much money.
