THURSDAY MORNING, April Is, 1869.

asaz "Philos" sent his communica-
ton to the Petersburg Index in Decem-
Der last, one or two months after the
DAY Book had originated and agitated
the " new movement" The record
speaks for itself. We merely mention
this matter now, because we find some
of our cotemporaries disposed to ignore
the fact of our having originated the
project which has become the salvation
of our State in this trying emergency.
Our cotemporaries, the Norfolk Virgin
ian and the Lynchburg News, Colonel
Withers' paper,) both came out gal
lantly on this score, and gave the DAY
Book the credit for the "new move
ment," and what little wonderful,
now that it has become so popular, they
have never tried to $50 back" on US
about it. We are aware of the fact that
the sagacious author of "Philos" does
not claim to be the first mover in the
"new movement"

PUBLIC SENTIMENT.


In our Judgment the Walker party
and its allies occupy the only practica-
Bile line OF battle upon which this cam
paign can be fought and wen. 1t has
been for months perfectly optional with
the conservative party to occupy the
same line and to present unbroken
ranks and an unconquerable front to the
common enemy of US all-Wells and his
carpet-bag brigade. Butunfortunately
the leaders and the counsel Of war to
which the conservatives entrusted their
fortunes, have never seen the advanta-
ges of the position and the Importance
of occupying it at once. Fortunately
for us the patriotic Virginia clement OF
the Republican party did not commit
the same oversight, but when it revol-
ted from the authority Of the corrupt
clique who have been manipulating this
State for their own base purposes, it at
vuou perceived tile advantages OF the
situation and took possession Of those
heights which will be impreguable, if it
is supported. These are the heights
upon which it found on its arrival an
organized army of REINFORCEMENT"
men, who impatient of the torpidity of
Their leaders and clearly perceiving the
importance of occupying that line, had
struggled forward to the front without
the word of command and confronted
the enemy on their own responsibility.
The question now is whether these
brave fellows shall stand by their new
allies and fight it out on that propitious
line, or go back into the valley of tor
pidty and inaction and link their for
tunes with The madmen who are bent
upon but one maneuver, and that is to
scale the precipice of negro suffrage,
bristling with every bayonet and de-
Tended by all the artillery of the FEEDER
al Government. The delusion that
there can possibly exist in Virginia any
necessity for third party ticket ia the
present campaign cannot, in any event,
be otherwise than disastrous. 1t is i'm
possible that a third party can effect as
much for the State as the men who sup
port Walker, Lewis, and Taylor, propose
to effect.
The force of circumstances and the
progress Of events, which cannot be
overlooked, renders the support of that
ticket obligatory upon every thoughtful
man, who is not willing to rick the hap
piness and prosperity Of generation in
pursuit of the merest ignis fatuus that
ever misled people. How long is Vir-
ginia to be beguiled by fine sounding
phrases and taught to consider it some
thing heroic to endorse the sentimental
folly of class of thinkers and politi-
clans whose advice, when followed, has
ever been fatal to her welfare and her
peace -[Captain Willie won't come
back.

THE PUBLIC EFFICIENCY.

The State OF Virginia has been pass
ing through fearful ordeal for four long
years. She has during that time been
suffering much hui. iliation, while her
material interests have been steadily
tending towards utter ruin. All has
been uncertain, and there has been no
solid ground for confidence, and little or
nothing to inspire hope. Industry mas
been disorganized land the want of means
for improvement and to pay for labor
has been steadily increasing. The Gov
eminent at Washington has dlsbursed
next to nothing amongst US, while its
heavy taxes have drained the country.
We greatly swell the volume of distress
when we add to this the sweeping out
of the offices Of the State-the turning
adrift men with families, many Of them
old and unskilled in any vocation where
by to earn livelihood: a condition of
extreme peril at time like this.
No man who is not a sharer in the
prostraLion wrought by these causes can
at all appreciate its true character. The
question for the people of Virginia is,
how long shall it continue, with its con-
stantly increasing misery and calamity :?
The people have been reduced to the
last extremity of endurance; and
continued submission to this state of
things must ere long crush thousands
with ruin from which probably but a
few of them will ever be enabled to re-
cover. A large part of them are past
the age of recupsration. With what
they have, should the State be restored
with trustworthy government, inviting
renewal of confidence, and energy, and
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-04-15

nope, they may save themselves and go
OF. with spirit and industry to rebuild
their fortunes; but without that adven-
titious event they will tall, and the State
will lose the benefit of the enlightened
energy of some of the best and most
trusted of her citizens.
The people of Virginia have now the
chance to relieve themselves from their
sad condition by securing the early res
toration of the State under the law just
passed by Congress. They have but to
vote down the obnoxious clauses which
the President will indicate, and adopt
the constitution thus purged. 1t will
be altogether an endurable constitution
with the valuable feature of veto by
the Governor. With this constitution,
and State Executive commanding the
confidence Of the people at home and
capitalists>abroad, in six months there
will be such change for the better as
the most sanguine cannot anticipate.
All this is entirely within the power
of the people of Virginia easily to &C
complish. Suppose they reject the OPP
portunity, and fail to achieve this great
good for themselves and the State, where
are we? Who can imagine the woes
that must flow from a prolonged deten-
ton in the dark valley where we have
SO long remained Who can, in fnan-
cial sense, live through it? Who can
imagine limits to the ruin that must
overtake all public and private interests?
And still worse than all, who can tell
what sort of constitution we may, af-
ter all, be compelled to live under p
Richmond Dispatch.
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-04-15

it. With them stricken out we could at
least exist until brighter day. 1t is a
great point gained to get rid of the dis
abling clauses, which would largely in
crease the white vote, and admit some
to office who are not reached by the
14th amendment to the Federal Consti-
tuition. 1t would be of immense impor-
lance to get rid of the iron clad oath
which excludes all white Virginians from
office; and the county organization arti-
Gle, If not stricken out, will leave two
thirds of the counties east of the Ridge
at the mercy of the negroes. We are ar
guing on the hypothesis that we do not
rally our vote against the entire consti-
tuition and have left out of the ques-
ton at present all about the election of
State officers and members of Congress.
Our object is to show that in any event
we are compelled to displayour whole
force, and to make the most determined
political fight ever made in the State.
Let us have no uncertain sounds-no
lukewarm alies-no sullcn passivists.
Let every Conservative speaker in the
State buckle on his harness let every
newspaper devote itself with allits might
TO this canvass-let every man speak to
his neighbor, and let every registered
white voter deposit his ballot. Let us
not re-enact the folly of 1867, when we
lost the control of the convention by
the failure of some forty-odd thousand
white men to vote. And previous to
that some twenty thousand had refused
to register. And this is the history of
the Underwood constitution.
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-04-15
HARD WORK TO BE DONE.

The Richmond Enquirer ~ limns GU,
some of the hard work before the people
under the late election law:
We have seen enough of the desper-
ate earnestness Of Congress to know that
if we do not help ourselves it makes no
difference to them. The Underwood con-
stitution with its unmitigated infamy
would probably be pleasing spectacle
to majority of that body. Itwould not
shock Congress to see a constitution for
Virginia containing universal negro ell
gibility to office and universal white
distranchisement
Therefore we have to move, and move
with energy. The white people of the
State nave it in their power to decide,
as they please, this whole question.
They have the power to vote down the
whole thing. We know very well that
lie may be said that this would be I'M
wise--that an absolute rejection would
avail us no more than it did Alabama
or Mississippi Let it be granted for the
sake of argument; and what then? Must
we not then poll every white vote in
the State in order to get rid of the claus
es to be separately submitted? Must we
not even then kill the test oath, and the
disabling clauses, and the equally objec-
tionable county organization article? 1t
may be that we may be compelled to
live under this constitution. but we cans
not endure it if these features remain in
Norfolk day book. [volume] (Norfolk and Portsmouth Va.) 1868-1880, 1869-04-15
APPROA CHING ENTENTE COR
DALE. .s

The Congressional correspondent of
the Washington Republican, writes
thus of Virginia affairs, with which he
is perfectly acquainted:
| am firmly convinced that in the ap-
preaching Virginia election, an entente
cordiale will be initiated which will
spread like wild-6re throughout the
South. 1t is not possible, after such a
canvass as will take place there, that
the lab of the State will fail to COM
prehend that its true interest is to vote
down every obstruction to the States
industrial advancement involved in the
existing and proposed increased disabil-
tiles upon those who must necessarily
conduct the States material advance
ment. Nor is it less clear to me that
the canvass will make it plain to the
latter, that the States hope for the fu-
ture depends in very great measure
upon the rapidity with which her labor
becomes as enlightened, as free, and as
prosperous in all things as is the labor
of Illinois, Wisconsin, or New York to-
day. uf ees a.
The Bourbons, who are unable to dis
cover any difference whatever in popu-
lar rights, in the rights of the General
Government and of the States, or in
aught else conceivable as they exist
practically now, and as they existed
thirty years ago, will, of course, &C
quiesce in no views or changes that are
progressive. Nor will parties with no
real identity with the States future,
who profit by keeping up bad blood
between the races, willingly relinquish
their current control for their own ad-
vantage of the minds of the States
labor. tI-
But circumstances such as l explain
above will prove more powerful than
the sinister counsel of both those classes
to whom I refer, who make common
cause in the work of protracting the ex-
listing misunderstanding between the
two great interests of Virginia upon
whose unity of purpose and cordial
good will the States future prosperity
wholly depends. The public may there
fore not unreasonably look for an almost
magic change in the political affairs of
Virginia, in which true liberalism and
true republicanism will prove all-pow-
erful. Virginia, in this contest, will
vote clauses into her organic law making

IMPORTANT ACTION OF THE
CONSERVATIVE COMMITTEE.
From the Richmond Whie

From the Richmond Whig.]
The unanimous action of the city men,
bers of the Conservative Committee is
of the highest significance. That action
insures harmony among the white peo-
pie of the State and guarantees our de-
liverance from carpet-bag domination !;
for there is not shadow of doubt that
the country members will cordially re-
spond 10 the spirit of the city mem bers
aud remove every element of discord,
and of course every obstruction to the
triumph of the Walker Ticket. We
may safely predict the success of that
ticket by at least 10000 majority.
We are now on solid ground. We
realize the famous aspiration
Displ this loud, the light of Heaven res
store;
Give me to see, and Ajax asks no more.
We know where we stand; we see
and know the adversary whom we have
to confront. 1t is only the carpet bag
faction of Wells & Co., whose main
support must come from the demoraliz-
ed negroes of the towns. The country
bla.As will go with President Grant and
the Walker ticket. If there were any
decency or sense of shame among the
Wells or missing letter" party, they
would abandon the field at once. But
the certainty of defeat may effect what a
sense OF decency could not and we al
ready have it predicted that Wells will
bolt and abscond.
But the certainty Of success should
not induce the friends of the Walker
Ticket 10 reflex their efforts. A proper
Legislature is quite as important as a
good Governor. To obtain this county
organization is necessary. Prompt and
a.vidva measures snoUld at once be
adopted in every county to secure the
election of the best and ablest men. All
are eligible who are not excluded by
the 18th amendment.
