Parties are beginning to form on the

is, shall the celebration take place on

that the celebration be held on both

CUI BONO?

We regret to notice that some few of
the Conservative journals of the State
;.s> still vainly endeavoring to rally a
forlorn hope in opposition to the inevi-
table. They are frittering away their
strength to no purpose. They are dis
tracing and dividing our forces, when
they ought to be working in harmony
with us. The great body of the Con-
sentative people of the State, and fully
four-ifths of the Conservative Press,
concede that nothing is to be gained by
arraying ourselves, out and out, against
the Underwood Constitution. They
believe that it will be adopted in some
form either with, or without, those
clauses that would concentrate the
whole power of the State in the hands
of negroes and carpet-baggers, and
commit its legislation and our destiny
to the control of the extreme Radicals.
They think that, under such circum-
stances, the fire of our batteries should
be concentrated; that we should not be
firing all along the line, but conGne our
aim to three objects, viz: the expurga-
ton of the Constitution, the election Of
Walker, and the selection of a Conser-
vative Legislature. Our dissentient
brethren ought to see that their course
tends to divide our people, to paralyze
the efforts of many, to disgust some,
and to induce number to take no part
whatever in the contest. Is it modest
in this small minority, to claim that
they have all the intelligence and all the
patriotism of the State Have they all
the craftsmanship and all the sagacity :?
Are they alone, with all their conceded
intelligence, capable of giving sound
advice We hardly think that they will
claim this much.-[Lynchburg Virgin
ian.

MH- 1t is intimated in the Richmor

RkH@ 1t is intimated in the Richmond
Wing that Wells will! change his tactics
before election day by changing the
whole negro vote to go against the Con-
stltution, which it is contemplated he
can do through the perfect control he
has over the negroes through the
Leagues. If he finds Walker will surely
be elected he will then go in for the de-
feat of the Constitution, as by its defeat
Walker would have no government to
be Governor of. and Wells would still
continue in position until Congress
fixed things in such shape as he (Wells)
could not fail to be elected on the next
turn.
This is matter the Walker party
should keep their eyes on, as many in
that party are disposed to vote against
the Constitution, and with these Wells
might easily defeat the election of
Walker by getting a sufficient number
of negroes to vote against it. 1t would
be much safer for those who desire to
defeat Wells to vote for Walker and the
expurgated Constitution, and then with
a Legislature of true men and the veto
power in the hands of Walker, matters
could speedily be mended to suit all
parties. A vote against the entire Con-
stitution is in reality vote in behalf of
Wells

GOV. SMITH MISTAKEN.

The Richmond Enquirer publishes a
letter from Ex-Governor William Smith,
taking the following grounds
"Let us resolve as of the first impor-
lance, to vote out the disfranchisement
and test oath clauses. Without this,all is
lost. AS second in Importance, let US
carry the Legislature, that we may be
saved from ruinous Legislation. And
third and last, let us defeat Wells and
elect Walker, who if he be as we hope
he will. armed with the veto power, be
able to protect us from the hungry pack,
already in full cry, for our destruction"
All this is very we'll, and We approve
it. But in speaking of Col. Walker
Governor Smith says:
1--WE are told that he too came to the
State upon the termination Of the war
with well-filled carpst-bag; that he
became Republican Candidate of the
city of Norfolk, for something which /
do not recolect, but was found too re-
spectacle for the constituency he desir-
ed to represent, and was defeated, and,
for the same reason, failed in obtaining
the Republican nomination for Cover
nor at Petersburg |t..
Col. Walker was in no sense and by
no manner of means before the Peters,
burg Convention for the Republican
nomination for Governor, nor would he
have accepted it in any event upon that
platform. The Convention very we'll
knew that he was not in accord with
their body in any way; and the thought
never entered the minds of any of them
to nominate him. In this respect Gov
ernor Smith is mistaken. The conclu-
sion of his letter is as follows:
"And now as the Oldest of Virginia's
living sons who has been honored with
her high positions; as one who has min
gled but little in our struggle since the
war for liberty and independence; and
as one, who, through a long life. has
ever performed his duties to his beloved
State to the best of his ability, and in an
earnest, Jealous aud patriotic spirit, l
implore you, as | would every friend l
have within our broad limits, to go into
the present frightful, fearful struggle, in
no hesitating, hating manner, but Free
ly casting censure where censure is due,
resolutely perform our whole, entire
duty; and so our good God will preserve
US from impending ruin, and our noble
State for that high destiny which we
have always believed was His will and
Providence,

ReE The Hon. VIM. Sprague, of r. l.,
recently returned from the South, and
speaks in very interesting strain upon
the condition of the country. The next
cotton crop will not, he thinks, exceed
two millions or two millions and quar-
ter of bales. Owing to the uncertainty
of colored labor, it has become unrroft-
able to carry on large plantations, and
most of the crop is now furnished by
farms that yield from one to FIVE, and SO
on up to fifty bales.

LET US HAVE PEACE.


We were not prepared to see, in the
canvass in which the people are now
engaged, the greed for Office which crops
out occasionally in some Of the districts
and counties, and we hope to see among
all those engaged in the contest for the
defeat of Wells and the restoration of the
government Of Virginia to the hands Of
Virginians, that forbearance and subser-
viency to the great cause which will
render individuals willing to repress
their personal aspirations for the COM
mon good of the State In some instan-
ces there are too many candidates, either
self-nominated or placed in the field by
their friends. 1t is time this matter
should be looked to, aud in all such cas-
es the proper steps should at once be ia
ken to call a convention to harmonic
and settle the claims Of rival candidates,
SO that the vote may be concentrated
upon. the popular choice. 1t will never
do to leave the field open for the entry
of all corners, and submit to defeat by
the scattering of cur strength.
For instance, as matters are tending in
this congressional district, there would
seem to be necessity for a convention to
reconcile opposing interests, and unite
the vote Of the district upon one candi-
date to oppose the divided factions of
Platt and Bayne. A victory over them
can be achieved, but only by a united
and harmonious vote. We cannot af-
ford to run two against those two.
While we shall not probably indicate
any preference for candidate for Con-
gress during the campaign, yet we
should regret to see the mistake COM
mitted; for the whole district would suf-
fer. Still it is our duty to submit the
matter TO public consideration.
In the canvass for Governor we have
no apprehension. The concentration Of
strength in the choice between the two
candidates insures the election of WAL
ker; we have no fear on that score. In
like manner, for the Legislature and for
Congress we cannot afford divisions.
One candidate, or one set of candidates
must serve our turn, if we covet success;
and in all cases where more are in the
field, a convention should be held mex
orably to rule on the cource the popular
choice, and 10 rule off all who stand in,
the way of the popular success.

a good joke on Gov Wells. As he

train being apprised of the fact, said to

scalawag ride on the train. Uncouple
