The Republicans in Virginia, in conyen.
l. That they approve and reaiiirm the
principles set forth Is The creed of the party
by the Republican Conference of April
last, and earnestly invite the cooperation
OF Ill men upon that liberal and compre.
hcn>ive basis.
>. That the pledge then given of support
TO the policy of Congress and the admins
tratiou OF General Grant, has been jlstitic
By the greet achievements OF these branches
nf the Government in the reduction Of the
public debt, the enhancement Of the public
credit. the augmentation of the public
revenues. the ie>sSliuy Of taxes. the equal
ization ri the currency among the States,
the saving Of interest hy the funding Of the
national debt, the reduction of the army
and navy expenses, the restoration OF peace,
the growth Of the country in all the wealth
aud population, and the realization Of the
| blessings OF selt-govcrnment under the aus,
piceS OF the largest liberty and the equality
OF all men before the law.
>. That in the enjoyment OF these fruit.
OF the Naliou,. Administration we feel if Z
pleasure, rs well rs 4 duty; to recognize
and claim them as the result of Republican
measures aud Republican counsclS, and
Icummcnd them to the people as the best
proofs OF the wisdom and prudence with
which our national affairs are conducted by
the Executive and CongrcsSr
| /. That notwithstanding the declaration
heretofore made ty otir party for the exact
aud $crupu!ol,s enforcement of our Con>ti.
tuition II all particulars, our special inter
c>t in ON system OF common SCHOOLS does
not allow lis on this occasion to withhold
from the people the expression of our set,
| tlrd diStruSt Of what has already been dOiie,
| or may hereafter be done on this subject
! by the present General Assembly, and to
eXhort the people to look TO and strive
after Republican a>cendancy as the only
hope Of establishing prosperous system
of common schools, to which the Republi-
can party is committed rs one of its chief
| arms.
| ). That we cannot but deplore the facility
with which our whiiom True Republicans
| in office have forgotten and ahjured their
pledges to General Grant and Congress. and
the zeal they now display in opposition to
botn /; but the remembrance Of their yenal
professions, and OF their falsity, enhances
our wish and determination to show by the
results OF our elections this fall that the
| bulk Of our people have been no parties to
| this game oT deception, and are swift to
| condemn it.
8. That the contrirance through means OF
i third party, termed Conservative" To
evadc the issues between the great national
parties-Republican and Democratic-is but
| part Of the articles AND receptions which
won the late VICTORIOUS victory in this State,
is too palpabie to mislead, and is unworthy
of frank and honorable foe.
| !. That no disguise or preteXt can avail
to save this third party, SO far as it affects
| opposition to the Republican party, from
| being merged into the Democratic party,
| which alone constitutes that opposition; so
| that in respect to i'll national issues and all
national elections tie Conservative party
