What the Southwest SaYs.

By special request, we have permission
to publish the following extract from a
letter written by one of Augusta's most
talented young sons, now residing in South
west Virginia.
".My Dear Friend 81 have just read
Judge Cochran's able address to the peo-
pie Of Augusta county. | have been at
the Courts of our Circuit for one month
past, and have met many of the most i'm
fuential citizens Of the Southwest, and /
can hear but one desire expressed respect
ing Judge Cochran, and that is hearty
wish that he be returned to the next Cen
eral Assembly of Virginia."
Can the people of Augusta afford to bar
ter off the influence of the great South
west and take in exchange for it the yoke
Of a little knot of vindictive and selfish
Courthouse politicians? Nor will the
yoke of this crew be all that the trade
will entail-for they never will be eman-
cipated from the unjust and unconstitu-
tional burdens of the recent assessments of
their lands (Which at the lowest calcula-
ton is ten thousand three hundred dollars
a year, of unjust taxation) without the aid
OF the votes of Southwest Virginia; and
they never will get their votes unless they
send Alex B. Cochran back to the Legis-
lature. We are as positive of this as we
are that the sun will set this evening.
We have discharged our duty as a jour-
nalist in advertising this fact to the peo-
pie. The responsibility now rests with
them. We hope they will not have cause
hereafter to regret their action Certain
ly this is too serious matter to be over
lonked

| Again presents himself before the people of
Stanton, Augusta county and the Valley, as the
Prince of Wholesale and Retail Dealers in
NOTIONS, JEWELRY, TABLEWARE,
! TRUNKS, VALISES, UMBRELLAS,
ACCORDEONs, GUITARS, vIOLINS,
| and other musical Instruments, and an endless
| variety of other articles which would occupy a
| newspaper page to enumerate.
| He has just returned from the Northern cities,
| where he purchased, and is now opening the
most superb stock it has ever been his pleasure to
offer for the inspection and selection of his
friends and the public. They were purchased
for Cash, in flush, and consequently low priced
market, and % is therefore prepared to offer great
er bargains than ever before.
| Twenty five years ago, Gabriel Hirsh appeared
among this people, a poor pedlar boy. He car
| ried his store of goods his back, and wended
his way from farm house TO farm house, meeting
with daily encouragement in his efforts to make
| an honest living. The people encouraged him;
he worked along, until finally he commenced his
present store, purchased the building he at first
rented and now, as the result of the liberal pat
ronage of this people, he can safely say he has
the largest and finest stock of goods, in his line
ever offered West of the Blue Ridge. He appre-
ciates this Kindness and intends to show it, by
selling such bargains as will defy competition.
LOOK TO YOUR INTEREST, PEOPLE OF
TIE VALLEY!
He sell, and means to sell, as cheap as can be
purchased at retail in any Of the larger cities His
motto is, r.,
QUICK SALES AND SMALL PROFITS,
and by it he will ssSink or SWIM
Gabriel Hirsh sells good goods cheap, but never
loses on them. If he did, he could not keep UP
his stock No man can sell at cost or below COST
some people say they do, and carry on bust
ness. He sell as cheap, if not cheaper than
any one else, because he pays no rents, and SUI
perintends his business himself g,

DESERVED GOVERNMENTAL CONTRAST.
Governor Walker visited, by invitation,
the Maryland Fair, and was received with
every mark Of respect due to the Governor
Of great State, 'asHks9
The late Conservative State Convention
nsulted Virginia and her Governor by the
most unmanly and ungrateful act that ever
disgraccd political body. When the hopes
Of the substantial people of the State had
grown weary and respondent, they appealed
to him to come to the front, and save them
frcm Radical rule. He seized the banner Of
the people and led them to victory, when there
was no other arm sufficiently strong to do it.
He saved them the fate of South Carolina
and Louisiana. Now that these very men
think that they can steer their own boat, they
are willing to throw him overheard. Such
men, we deGantly proclaim, deserve no bet
ter fate than utter humiliation. Ingrati-
tudc is the basest of crimes, and there has
not been more glaring and outrageous ex.
hibition of it than was given by the late Con-
servative Convention of Virginia. If this
be treason, make the most Of it,

We would remind the Richmond Enqui-
rer of a trite and truthful saying that man

as much about the people and politics of
Augusta county and the Valley as Conan
che Indian does about Boutwell's syndicate
He gets off some abominablc abortions Of wit.
writes smoothly and gaiy about Mary and
her little lamb and can tel us something
about Paris, Of which We have no personal
knowledge. The politics ola State, however,
and Of each county in a State constitute too
heavy business for his calibre. IF he will
sweep before his own door, it will be about
as much as he can we'll attend to. IF he can
carry that political fossil, Raleigh T. Daniel,
through successfully, he will deserve rest
ing spell. We do net need any advice from
the Enquirer. We are able to take care Of
ourselves. "Shiny on your own side.'

THE 4SPEerAToR.-W have not space
this week to notice an editorial article in the
last Spectator, as it should be noticed, under
the caption of the s'Plan of Conservative Or
ganization." We have bigger game on hand
The whole article is merely the assumption
that paper resolves, enacted by set Of men
who had no authority from the people, must
constitute the law to control the consciences,
the volitiop, and the action of the people
We make issue with the whole batch Of re-
solves. AS to the action Of the county COM
mittec, there aeas no action on the question
of enrolment. The President, by his garru-
lily, so confused the whole proceedings that
no one could tell what question was being
considered. Had the point been directly
made, and voted upon, the enrolment or pro-
scription feature of the 'plan,' would have
been repudiated. The committee not having
done so, the people mean to do so. They are
the rghtful law-giyers in matters of this
kind. .5...t, 1szse4,5T

Shall the Conservative Party be Dissolyed9

Shall the Conservative Party be Dissolved!
Our objection to the plan Of organization
adopted at Richmond, and proposed to be
carried out strictly in Augusta county is bas-
cd upon the fact, that there CANNOT BE
A FAIR NOMINATING. CONVENTION
-one representing the people Of the county
organized under it. We are satisfied had
the question been properly and distinctly pac
ed before the county committee on last Satur-
day, that the feature OF the plan which pro-
vides for "non-recognition and non consider
ation," of any conservative who does not pre-
fer to enroll himself, would have been modif-
ed, and all recognized as working members
of the party, who are opposed to Radicalism
A number Of the members of the committee
called at the VIRG1NIAN Office after the
meeting adjourned, and declared that the
people Of their respective townships cared
nothing about the enrolment would not en-
roll, and that it was foolishness to attempt to
prescribe them for not enrolling. IF the at
tempt is made to exclude from partici
pating IN the primary or township meetings,
or from the nominating Convention, con
servativc voters who have not enrolled, the
Convention will resolve itself into little
Court House caucus, whose action the people
will Indignantly repudiate. We warn these
gentlemen in time, if the conservative uoters
Of the county are not fully represented in
that Convention, and the attempt is made to
abridge or deny the rights and privileges of
any portion of them, that the party will be
split in two, the Convention repudiated, and
the whole matter referred to the people at the
polls We aoant a fur Contention OF none
at all.
