WORDS OF WARNING-Those who are really
interested, those who are, by their position, we'll
informed, know that no Conservative triumph
is to be won if S0uth.Sido Virginia INDUCES
in apathy on account Of previous defeats; while
Piedmont and Valley Virginia permit dissen
sions and independent candidates on account
OF previous trlumpllS. 1t Is not necessary
some persons might say it would not be eype
dlent-here to cnumerate the detailed reports,
from counties and districts which have led Us
to this conclusion. Let every man who reads
this, instead Of questioning our opinion, con-
suit his personal experience Where docs he
live? Who does he talk to? These are the
only queries We need to put Wcpuoted some
instances Of suicidal dissension in a former
article; nothing requires their multiplication:
we simply add that many of the candidates
throughout Northern Virginia, (takc cases in
Rockingham, Culpepcr and Augusta counties
for examplc), are boldly claiming support
outside Of anything contained H., or limited at
by the Convention platforn-on the ground Of
counties, Accomac for instance, the ConServa-
tive nominee is opposed by 4 number Of gen
| tlemen who propose to do themselves honor
Indifference under disaster, is as culpable as
the division in localities because Of pastsuccess.
The partyls entitled to victory; it has numbers,
brains. property, labor, everything which is al
element OF political success; if it encounters
defeat the fault will lie within its own ranks,
and the punishment will fall where it has not
been rycd!-RterSLmy Progress.
