PURSUANT to a call, numbsr Of
WOODSTOCK. VIRGINIA.

PURSUANT to call; a number of
delegates from Augusta, Rockingham
Shenandoah, Frederick and Clarke coun.
ties met in Harrisonburg, on the 9th inst
but, on account of the late food many Of
the delegates from some of the countie.
were unable to be in attendance. After d
temporary organization the Convention
adjourned until Thursday, the 18th inst
when they>will reasonable for the pur-
pose of nominating candidate for Con-
gress from this district.
The appointment of delegates was much
mo- general in the different counties. of
the district than was supposed. apd a
much better feeling manifested towards a
Convention than was anticipated. 1t is
very fair to presume that the session of tine
pending Convention W i'll be characterized
by considerable degree Of harmony and
good feeling. The most prominent ames
before the Convention nre those OFF,. A.
Gray. j. I. Harris and J. G.. Woodson
of Rockingham; Col. Moore of Clarke; A.
Graham of Rockbridgo and N. K. Trout
of Augusta.
We hope in our next issue to announce
the nomination of some one of these gen.
tlemen by the unanimous voice of the
Convention. We believe the situation Is
thoroughly understood by these delegates,
and hope that no one would be 50 incou-
siderate as to jeopardize the interest Of the
Conservative party in this District by
attempting to produce discord in the
conyentiop on account Of personal and
individual interests. Since the ayowal of
the purpose of the Radical party 10 this
district, we must expect to fight our po-
1i,ical battles in bold and manly man.
ner. We are to contend for declared pur-
poses and democratic principles, and
should ignore personal favoritism. 1t is
party, not personal contest, and the
result will pSt be in mere personal gains
and losses. With proper appreciation
of the situation and the various circulars
of instruction from the State Conservative
Executive Committee before this Conven-
ton, We can not refrain from indu lying in
the hope that harmony and unanimity of
action may characterize their deliberations
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1870-10-13

THE LEGISLATURE is now in session,
and judging from the mcager reports in
the Richmond papers, We think they have
disposition to proceed with the business
before them. We know that their situa-
ton is very novel and trying one. and
perhaps, under all the circumstances, we
have expected too much from them in
the past session. However, we shall in
dulge the hope that they will use fair
effort to clear their eaiendef of the most
important matters, and not prosraet this
present sess Ion unnecessarily.
