CONSERVATIVE COM
MITTEE

After the proceedings of yesterday morning.
reported in Yesterdays Ga9.ttc) the Commit
tee r. assembled in the evening. 4 maJolty
report, signed b. zinc ot the Committee on
Business was read, Of which the following Is
the substance:
First. Accepting the res snatlon OF the Con
servativcs and complmentlng them upon the
zeal they displayed in the cause.
Second. Urging tie Conservatives TO unite
In defeating the obnoxious provisions OF the
constitution, and 10 elect proper persons 10 Inc
State Legislature.
Third. While expressing hostility to the OBJ
jectonabc features OF the constitution, the
Convention still decline to max any recon-
mendation to voters on the constitution expur-
gated of such features, or as to the candidates
before the people, feeling that the voters Will
act for the best interest Of the State.
The report is signed by Messrs. Ould, Bald
win, Edmunds, Fsyette McMulliu, Sutheriln,
Cameron, Mosby, and others, MIR. Ould made
a speech in its favor, explaining that 1t was a
compromise OF the different opinions. and lett
the voters free to vote for or against negro
suffrage against the constitution as Whoie'
or in favor of It as expurgated. 1t was q
course of action to meet the circumstances and
necessities OF the times. c
A minority report, signed by three OF the
committee, was read. Il advocates the con-
troll of the State by the white race, reathrms
the principles announced by the late Conser-
vative Convention, asserts that this convention
has no right 20 abandon the same. and ought
to follow the leadership OF the candidates then
nominated. 1t expresses doubt even II an ex
purgated constitution were adopted and a
Conservative Republican elected Governor,
whether Congress would not still impose addl
tional conditions upon the people OF the state
The law requiring Virginia to adopt the nj
tecnth amendment before coming into the
Union is pronounced unconstitutional. 1t
prefers the military rule of white men in pref
erence to the irresponsible government oil ne
procs, and calls on the white people of the
State to vote down the constitution.
MIR. Goode supported the report of the mi
nority, chiefly directed against the abomlna-
tions OF the constitution.
A motion to lay both reports on the table
was defeated
Adjourned until to day.

proceedings of the COMMITTEES we're:

There is manifest decline in the interest
taken in African colonization-the best and
noblest scheme for the interest of the colored
population in this country, ever devised by
their true friends. The fall expedition to
Liberia was dispensed with entirely for the
want Of passengers, and the ship Golconda,
belonging to the American Colonization So
cic,y, will most probably be sgain sent on
mercantile voyage. the small number DESTROYS
of emigrating to Liberia not iustifying the
employment OF so large and valuable ship
1t is probable, however, that a smaller vessel
may be chartered TO convey the limited num-
Ter OF applicants to Africa.

CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION. The
importance of proper representative IN this
District was never more signal than now. Let
us secure unity OF action. Personal ambition
or distinction must not block the way to public
good. Scores OF the friends Of the nominee OF
the Conservatives of the District cannot per.
suade themselves to think that Mr.. Shacke!-
lord ! success in election would be our success
in securing his seat in Congress but might
be, to say the least of it, the means of impos.
ing upon us misrepresentation in the person OF
an Indifferent type of the representative
genus. The result to us would be the same,
whether the Republican candidate be chosen
directly or indirectly, by the cunning and
fraud OF the leaders at Washington, or by the
people, by their votes in the exercise of sui
trage. "Hated monsters" as some used to
call them, arc now openly endured and en-
braced.
Would it not be we'll for the sake of accord
and harmony to hold meetings and District
Convention, il necessary, to secure, ii practlca
Ole, success, both here and at the capital?
One OF the contrivances by which Radical
ism wins its way might thus be arrested. We
would extract a poisoned arrow from their
culver And | am quite sure that MIR. s.,
convinced OF any danger that his election
might bring about, would not hesitate to trans
fer the standard thar he bears to the hands OF
another who, though, perhaps, less gallant
tlan himself, yet would be more efficient to
secure a triumph with those with whom he
may have to DO battle ut the seat of govern
meut For let us not forget that all our rights,
If VIC have any, arc regulated there.
Let it suffice TO make, as they DO, represen-
tation mockcry at Washington; let Us not
be made however, the Instruments of such in
sidious revolution. 1t not all of representative
form that makes freedom and freemcn; abso-
lutte governments do likewise to dclude tools
and make them think they are free. Much
weight has been thrown upon our government
who are to sustain its hulwarks? Discord,
ignorance and INSTRUMENTATION are introduced.
Who are TO still the elements of strife? The
hand OF Radicalism is uplifted for oppression
and injustice Who is to stay it? Then
know to the abuse of power and our humilla-
ton. These things cannot last.
In an interesting account Of the publishing
establishment oil Harper and Brothers, in the
New York Times, it is said that tho paper
used By them annually, costs 5000, 900 The
circulation of their periodical works is as fol-
lows: Harper's Bazaar weekly 10000; Har
pcr's Weekly, $4,000; Harper Magazine, 49,
600. The number of persons employed in the
establishment is SOP.
Gen. Patrick II. Jones has been appointed
