A Word Of Caution.
The Fredericksburg Meas says:

The Fredericksburg Ne'es says:
."Tbc danger of dividing the CONSERVATIVE
marty of Virginia may be as great az tue
chance of clccting Greeley.
..Tb,s is worthy of consideration by the
beadlong, hssty Greeley men,"
II strikcs us that it is the anti GREELEY
Conservatives who should profit by this hint.
Tn their mouths Il Is about as reasonable az
the famous Jurors complaint Of the ohs'i-
nacy Of his eleven associates. The GRhEL.'
men are the Conservatives of Virginia inc
exceptions are so few that If they "e'e q" ~
no over to GRANT. it is doubtful "he.''ei ne
could carry the State. Our worthy Mayor,
Mr. Kv,,ry. in letter TO the Wh'9, gives DIS
s.,,o,v conservative n warning similar 10
that auotcd above. He says:
upar r,tber would see the incompetent
d.snot who now degrades the high once OF
president returned to the chair he disgraces
than witness the rupture OF that solemn COM
nact Of fraternity which, under the name OF
conservatism, binds together in holy league

And vet Mr., Ks,tEY's paper-he is prcsi-
dent of the Enquirer publishing company
has denounced HORACE GREELEY as a " head.
strong, Sclf-willed tyrant,' who would bean
"absoute dictator" il elected President as
monarch absolute, who will have no coun-
sellors" and, worse thai all, the Enquirer
has said:
"Bctter soldier, who has learned how TO
command by first learning the duties OF oDe-
tlience, than one who, for period OF nearly
forty wears, has never listened to the ADVICE
of any man, but oheyed, regardless OF con-
sequences. the promptngs OF his own hear'
and the dictates OF his own judgment.
Again the Enquirer said:
.sThcre arc men who can beat Grant who

can trust them more confidently than we can

II the above language means anything, ii
means that GREELEY's supporters amongst
the Conservatives Of Virginia are either fools
or kmyps: for no other kind would Tollll-
tarily support such a man as GREELEY IS de-
clarcd TO he. And yet Mr.. KELLEY, with his
rIa,Isblc manner. goes out of his way to re- |
proyc the Dispatch in the letter above re-
fcrred to. ard Notwithstanding he has allow
cd his own PAPER to use language which
might we'll offend every GREELEY man i'll the
State. SETS himself up aS model OF forbear-
ancr. We tell Mr.. KELLEY and all the
other ant-GREELEY men that it is they who
must learn to govern their tongues. The peo-
pie of Virginia have given abundant evidence
that they are for GREELEY. They are not go
ing to surrender their choice to please few
fossil factionists who cannot support anybody
who lbs not always been Democrat. They,
we repeat, are the Conservative party. The
few anti-Grecleyites who expect the whole
party to come over to them will find them
selves in the vocative. They traduce Mr..
GREELEY; they ridicule him; they publish
every damaging statement concerning him
that they can find, and every speech against
him that is made in Congress or on tho hllst-
ings. And yet they advise the GREELEY men
to be very cautious and temperate in speak
ing of thcm and their plans. Set us good
example, gentlemen. .......
