1t says
i "Political power sometimes attains
strength which can be Ekened only to the
forces of nature. To protect ourselves from
the fury Of the elements by whatever
means may be within our reach was never
Thought unreasonable or undignifed. To
lEincur prostration in the mire for the sake
of being called the oak and not the reed is
not heroic, though boys and poets may tell
you 30. Resisting unto destruction the
plainly irresistible is characteristic of bar
barism not of civilization. Andrew jack
SON knew when to yield. Austria, after
iSadowa, taught the world lesson which
will never be forgotten. Her conduct was
universally approved. The art Of bowing
or bending gracefully is the sure mark of
gentlemen, as the proper timing of the bow
is the infalGble proof of cultivated intel
ligence." ~ 49, ~. Ef@
| AS, perhaps, majority of our readers are
in favor of the late Conservative move
ment, = or, at least, have cheerful hopes of
heBuccess of the committee at headquarters,
we feel in duty bound to give them all the
announcement we can from authentic and
intelligent sources.
| If there is any ything that would giveus o
favorable opinion Of the late Conservative
movementtit is the opposition given to it by
the Virginia Radicals.
| We have an offset, however, in the per-
son of Mr.. Greeley, the great bell-wether
of the Radical shebang. He fa vors the
Conservative movement, and gives the best
reasons we have seen for its support.
Hence we are more perplexed than ever,
and are inclined to let things take their
course.
| Although we cannot entirely agree with
the committee, we respect their motives,
admire their moral courage, and humbly
trust they may have weight and influence
with the powers that be that will greatly
tend to bring back to our ruined and dis
tracted country the blessings Of peace, pros
perity, and happiness.-A6ingdon Virgi-
| nian.
The Virginian is another of the papers
classed among the opponents of the new
| movement.
We understand that an auxiliary con-
ference assembled in Wytheville, Va, on
yesterday, in which thirteen persons parti-
cipated seven Of them in favor Of this new
move, and six opposed. One of the speak
ers advocated the objects of the conference
with great zeal, saying that if successful
in securing " universal amnesty" it would
enable them to defeat the constitution, and
thus get the rule of the State. "That's
| what's the matter" We will see what
General Grant and Mr.. Sumner have to say
about this glorious arrangement, and let
you know. "Just wait a week. ."-Narion
Star RADICAL.
PUBLIC MEETING.-We learn that the
citizens of Amherst county will hold pub
lie meeting on Monday next (court-day) to
express their sentiments in regard to the
recent conference at Richmond and the
mission now visiting Washington. We hope
it will be the sense Of the good citizens of
Amherst to do nothing calculated to en-
barrass the action Of the committee, but to
| wait till the result Of the effort is known
before they express their Judgment
Lyncl6urg Republican. ...
Prominent representatives are decidedly
opposed TO making any other terms for the
| admission of Virginia than those provided
| by the reconstruction acts of Congress, and
| no other propositions will be seriously en-
| tertained.
The delegation intends to remain during
the session of Congress. They are exceed
ingly airish and self-consequent, but will
have the conceit taken out Of them pretty
| we'll before the ides of March come round.
| TELEGRAM in Louisville Sun.
With the lights before us, We advise all
not to be carried away with the hope Of a
modification of terms, but be prepared to
defeat the Underwood abortion, which we
can do if our forces are organized, and
without which the government Of Virginia
will become as unbearable as is that Of the
dominions of Observation-Disclosures Vindi-
Gator.
| If Congress meets the proposition with
favor, our impression is that majority OF
the people of Virginia will acquiesce, and
the moderate men Of all parties will har-
monize upon the plan; but if the plan is
| rejected by Congress, the Underworld -Bayne
constitution will have to be forced upon
Virginia, for her people never will vote to
adopt it.-Christian Sun.
The Richmond correspondent of the Pc
tersburg Lnder reports that Hunnicutt has
come out in favor Of the new movement
"universal suffrage and universal am
nesty."
| To this end the Committee Of Nine are
doing the work of the eleventh hour. That
they may succeed we believe to be the
prayer of majority of her people.-Bris-
| tol Ne,oS.
| The Alexandria Gazette says Hon. J. A.
Seddon does not approve Of the new move
ment, 81
The Culpepef Observer is opposed to the
new movement.
