The Conferences.

Ii. RECONSTRUCTION IN VIKGIsIA.-Tne- IA
ideals here are very much exercised over
the movement in Virginia among the Con-
servatives in reference 70 universal sur
frsge and universal amnesty. They AFFECT
to look upon it as rebel scheme designed
to prevail upon Congress to change the DAY
Of voting on the constitution ct an ear
lier period in the spring, when the negroes
will be more dependent on their white en-
ployers. 1t is also said that the movement
is desperate effort Of the old secession po-
iiticisns to restrain the ex- Confederate sol
diers from going over to the Republican
party, in which case the State would be ut
terly lost to the Democrats.-Ne'o for6

Recently / have taken occasion to discuss
with many Republican senator's and repre-
sentatives the movement just being made
among your fellow-citizens of rebel pro-
clivities to oppose your constitution, and
interpose one on the basis Of universal
suffrage and amnesty; which simply
means the transfer Of power to the present
disfranohised clase-the old pro-slavery
Whig-school men, who were for the Union
because it meant slavery, or submitted to
reconstruction because they feared worse
might come. There is not the slightest
prospect ofthe Baldwin Dosomathings being
able TO carry their plan and constitution,
go far as Congress is concerned. After the

me Late Mcyenent,

The exigency 81 the stass required that
something shoula he done by our own peo-
pie to ward OF threatening danger. What
that something should be was the question.
Few men could frame any plan that could
even meet their own entire approval much
I less other peoples; and meme could have
been determined upon THAI would mot have
/ encountered some degree Of opposition.
At this inneture the gentlemen cempo-
cling The recent conferences, after patient
de'ibersfieh upon several schemes. adopted
one, which they srs endesvoring to carry
out. II Is our opinion that it meets with
lessobjeotion than any other, that pronissd
ady advantage, would have encountered. It
ohas been approved an the newspapers
OF che State shat have appeared since this
1 plan IVES published save six. We believe
that che large body Of the people sp.
prove is.SssS q f35I.-i !
But debate on these matters and varm
discussions Of the plan Of the conference
would nov be very unwise and very
y uptimely. a very short time will test
2 enc wisdom, or rather the success, OF the
!, mission Of the g nine.n may do good.
It's hailed by The most influential Radical
papers at the North in conciliatory and
!, cordial spirit, and thus far promises well.
Should 1t fail, why we can but do Whist we
would have done without it-prepare to
defeat the constitution made last winter in
the capitol. On this point we shall be
united as one man. It would be better If
!. we could syoid the assembling Of another
&c constitutional convention By such
charges In the pending constitution as
may make it tolersble, or by adopting an.
other constitution presented to us in com
petition with that. Bnt If we, are offered
no alternative, of course We, shall defeat
the usDERwooD-B AYNE constitution and
take oil the risks of conventions, delays,
and waste Of the public funds; for that is
absolutely uncomfortable. Leading Radicals
have declared that it is not fit for 0jibbe-
way Indians. 7sftts1 VI.
It would be unwise, however, to excite
feeling by discussion just OF this time. We
are all actuated by the same patriotic mo-
tiyes; and harmony and concord are irdis-
pensable. The mission of the " nine /" may
do good, and cannot do harm It rests with
the dominant party in Washington to treat
the f.miitee with respect, or coidly TOT dis
regard their remonstrances against the
shacklipg Of the white man while enfran--
chising the negro. If they pursue the latter
course, the motive for opposing theFconsti=
d tuition with all our strength will be Estimu-
lated, and we shall find in the eyes of the
nation a justification that will not allow
our act to be distorted into contumacy by
the most ultra Radical partisan. r,r
But the period Of this test will be short.
Let US wait patiently until it is concluded.

1 CONSERVATIVES PRosPEcTs IN VIRGINIA. -
The stand taken by the Virginia Democrats,
coupling universal amnesty and universal
suffrage, e1cites the hope here Of carrying
the State for the Conservatives by 10000
majority. Excellent feeling exists between
the Conservatives and the blacks. It is
believed that the constitution will be de-
feated, and one imposing no disqualification
adopted at later dsy.-Ne,O York World.

A Reason or Two,

GREELEY says: "The rush Of northern
"capitalists to the South Immediately after
, /" the close of the war led to such losses as
"created revulsion." Exactly! -
It had been believed that the southern
planter was the bappiest Of men, and that
under the new order of things the calling
which had 80 enriched him and enabled
him to cultivate so many social graces
might be made more than ever profitable
and comfortable. SO there was "rush !"
to the South of "smart" men to 60 into
the happy business Of tilling cotton. Mo,
ney was freely expended, and "great ex-
pectations !" cheered on the adventurers.
; Butthey were doomed to disappointment,
9 disappointment that was disastrous. T hey
lost all they hazarded, and returned home
wiser men; but unfortunately with an ex-
perience that has been related to our disad1
vantage, as Mr.. GREELEY says.
Now, why did they fail? First, because
the business Of cotton planting requires ex-
perience; secondly, because the negro la
borswhioh they would not have known how
to direct with advantage as slave was less
productive free than it had been as slave.
These sSvsnturers were amongst the mcst
enterprising as we'll as sagacious Of north
ern people. They discovered that the pur-
suit Of planting was not the simple art they
had supposed it to be, and that the planters
were not the improvident, apathetic, and
unskilful men the northern mind had taken
them to be. We venture to say that in no
part Of the world, all things considered,
was there ever better managed industry
and more successful tillage than in the
southern pl&nting States. e'' IS a
The disappointment Of these men, as is
now admitted, created D reaction, and for o
time blighted tao ardent aspirations touch
ing cotton lands and cotton plantating
quite a satisfactory solutiontof the absence
Of demand for those lands. How il, then
that men blame the southern land holders
for not ceiling their lands when nobody
wants to buy I is it not enough that they
are thus left with what nobody now wants
and must they be abused for not giving
that, away as.si.:. 9,La q
The experience Of northern men at the
South ought to satisfy them that the south
ern land-holder ID greatly wronged. Pro.
perty in the South is as much the subject
Of commercial laws as property is any.
whore else. Necessity and interest are al
much the controllers Of its fate here as
1 anywhere in the world, and all the talk
about southern men being unwilling to sell
TO northern men, or any other men, il
worse than nonsense-it is, in great de.
gree, malicious slander. Money will take
land anywhere, and very little viii 90 q
long way at the South now. ar,a,
These matters ars getting to be, bette,
understood. Their better appreciation will
help TO smooth down the prejudioes which
Misrepresentation hasengendered. e.
