Independent Candidates.

A letter before us says, "your friend will |
be ga candidate. convention or no eonven' |
tion."
We would regret above all things to stand |
in the way Of the laudable ambition Of any |
man to serve his country, and especially Of
men who are fitted fully for the service =
but we would not be faithful to our trust
were we to be silent observers of the DISPOSE
ton to set up self as is evidenced by the
letter from which we quote. In the first
place, it bespeaks an Indifference to the
party veal. which, if encouraged, must
break its efficiency and result in defeat. It
argues selfish purpose which would haz-
ard general good for individual gratifca.
ton. --.-..-
With all Of our predictions for our per-
sonal friends-and we confess to strong at
tachments-we have no hesitation in invoking
the whole power Of the party to put down
every attempt to set up independent candi-
dates, whoever and wherever they may be
A party, to be successful, must be united
must move as one man, with one purpose,
to one step. Divisions are as ruinous to
the efficiency of a party as characterization
in camp is ruinous to the effectiveness Of an
army, and must be met precisely in the
same way. AS the characterization must
be quelled by prompt and active measures,
SO must the uprising of the ambition to su-
persede the chosen leaders, and to put him
self above and beyond the collective wisdom
of his party. AS in war the mutiny must
be followed with speedy shrift, so in poliii
cal campaigns the same offence must have
tho same prompt and efficient punishment.
In controversy like that pending N
Virginia, no man can be neutral as teween
| the parties. He must be on the one 81 lie or
| on the other It matters not by what name
he calls himself, he must be judged and
must stand or fall by his acts, not by his
professions. When the party shall have
selected its leader, to him is committed the
standard of the party He is its represen-
tative by choice to his bugle call all must
respond, and gather to do battle under him,
protected by the agis of that banner. There
is no other accepted guide, no other acknow.
lodged bugleman. To raise another ban
ner in the camp, to sound the rally to an
other leader, is mutiny, for it can only re-
suit in weakening the power Of him who is
the accredited representative Of the party,
and to this extent to give aid and comfort
to the enemy.
We hold that in the success of the Con-
sentative party is involved not only the pre-.
sent material interests Of Virginia, but her
future prosperity and honor. We hold fur
Their that the Conservative party is not only
the best Judge, Of whom it will commit its
leadership to the coming fray Consequent
ly, we hold that for one Of the party TO ar
ray his personal ambition in opposition to
the will Of the party, is to declare himself
only friend while his selfish purposes are
advanced--is neither, patriotic nor states,
manlike- neither generous nor just to G
community, and merits general Reproduction:

The Importance Of the November election
cannot be overrated. It is one which will
determine the character Of the government
under which we are to live for several
years. We cannot repeat too often that the
Legislature to be elected will have to choose
all the county judges in the State, and will
doubtless have to appo.tion the districts for
Congress. If We lose the legislature and
