The Newest Movement.

re have read the address OF the PETERSBURG
Boilers very carefully and we did not find in it
good deal of information which We have been
in search of in regard to the latest "new move
ment. - >. The Wing INDUCES in the hope that
it will do "a great deal Of good, but being of
practical cast Of mind We long earnestly for a
bill of particulars. The address ofthe Seceders
contents itself With vague generallties- which
perpeX US to distinguish between the new and
the old Republicans They acquiesce in the
Reconstruction acts-and this is about all
one can gather--and we should like to know, if
the Wing can authoritatively inform u.s. what
| this means.
The Enquirer would pledge itself not to resist
| the Reconstruction Acts; but what we are
thinking about is the Underwood Constitution.
The Reconstruction acts laid upon US heavy
| yoke, but the Underwood Constitution added
| to our yoke: Reconstruction acts chastised us
with whips, but the Underwood Constitution
chastises US with scorpions. The little finger
of the Underwood Constitution is thicker than
| the Reconstruction acts loins.
| We are lett by the Clements Walker manifes-
| to in entire ignorance as to whether the re
spectacle Republicans are, or are not, in favor
of the Underwood Constitution. If they are in
favor of it, we see no difference between them
and Wells
| We are fond Of information and wish Mr..
Storms or Mr.. Walker or Mr.. Clements or Mr..
Anybody would tell US what is the difference
between the Wells Republicans and the Walk
| er Republicans? The Wellsites are carpet bag
gers but there is villainous smell of the seal
awag about the Walkerites. Now do these
differ in principle? What are Walker, Lewis
| & Co., for? s G< At@sG
We have not seen anybody who can tell us
how Mr. Walker is on the County Organization
clause Of the Underwood Constitution or. on
the Gerymandering clause; or on the, Free
School clause or unless the Wing speaks by
the card) how he is on the DISTINGUISHING clause
Nor do We know his views on the Jury clause.
| Nor on the Taxation clause.
One thing we know very well that Clements
and Allen and Rye and others who had gotten
up this movement haze been among the very
straightest Radicals. The public would be very
much enlightened to ascertain at what point
they begin to diverge from Wells and Bond and
Platte. Platte was fully as conservative in the
State Convention as Clements We also OBJ
serve that Hunnicutt is one Of the signers of
the address. Surely there is enough in all this
to perplez.-Riah. Enquirer. 1904

Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton's Advice.

This distinguished man gives the following
advice to the people of the South:
6 DO not sickle upon questions of policy
Your people need to stand united and you
should not permit mere questions of policy to
divide you. Of course 1, who am sitting here
in my Office in Ohio, with all my rights of per-
son and property guarded by white State
Government, cannot presume to advise you,
whose condition is so different, but let me beg
you to remember what have said about max
ing no pledges to the negro race. In the past
few years, incredulous as you may be, the peo-
pie have been arousing themselves against the
expressions of the Republican party, and in a
few years, if not sooner, will assert the man
hood of the white race. By patiently biding
your time you will ride on the wave of success,
but if you complicate questions by making i'm
prudent pledges through despair or impatience,
you strengthen the enemy, and postpone the
hour of deverance. -,.,-s

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
Virginia State Tiokaf

The undersigned, citizens of Virginia, and
earnest friends of the restoration Of our State
to the Union, under the Reconstruction Acts
OF Congress, believe that the time has fully
come when determined and jealous .effert
should be made to rescue the Republican party
of Virginia from the management and control
of designing and selfish politicians.
We are satisfied that the Convention which
assembled at Petersburg on the 9th instant, did
not reflect the feelings and wishes of the Re-
publicans of the State, and that the means
used to secure the nomination of the persons
who are placed upon the State Ticket were
such as cannot secure the sanction or approval
of those who desire to promote the welfare of
our people. We feel that there has never been
a period in her history when the counsel and
direction OF wise, experienced and patriotic
men, whose unselfsh regard for the public veal
commends them to the confidence and support
of the people were more eminently needed
The men who are put forward for the highest
honors Of our restored Commonwealth are not
sufficiently identified with our people to secure
that confidence, and we fear that defeat awaits
the party, because many of the best of our cit
liens who are now identified with it anticipate
the worst consequences to our material inter-
ests in the event of their election. and are dis
posed to resent and resist the dictation of the
arrogant and presumptuous clique of political
adventurers by whom the late Convention was
controlled lias1ed
We believe that large majority of the in
telllgent aid rejecting people of Virginia who
have permanent interest In the prosperity OF
the State are becoming convinced that wisdom
and sound policy alike demand that they shall
accept and carry out, in good faith, the meas
ures proposed by Congress for the reconstruc
ton of the Southern States, and are earnestly
DESTROYS of adopting the great principles enun-
cated by the Republican party Of the country.
We believe that they will cheerfully support
true and wellknown Republicans for State off
GERS and to afford them an opportunity to do
this we respectfully recommend
