The official proceedings of the Congressional
Convention of the Conservative party of this
District which met in this place on Thursday
last, and nominated Hon. Jno. T. Harris for
reelection, will be found in another column
The only candidates proposed for nomination
in this Convention were Hon. R. T. w. Duke,
of Albemarle, and Hon. Jno. 7. Harris of
Rockingham, both of whom are members of
Congress. As by the recent re-apportionment
of Congressional Districts in this State, the
counties in which these gentlemen reside were
assigned to the same District, and as both
wished to be elected, they became competi-
tors for the nomination. The vote in the Con.
vention was highly complimentary to both of the
contestants as each received the almost unani-
nous vote of the counties he represented in
Congress-Mr. Duke being supported by his
constituents East of the mountains, and Mr..
Harris by his in the Valley howing, as Mr..
Harris in his address truthfully and frankly
said, that Mr.. Dukes failure to get the nomi-
nation was due to the fact that the District
contains more counties which were represented
by him than by Mr.. Duke.
The proceedings of the Convention were
harmonious. and the manner in which Mr..
Duke and his supporters bore their defeat and
the spirit in which they pledged themselves to
support with earne stness the election of the
nominee, reflect great credit upon them, and
serve to command the respect and win the good
will of all who appreciate manly conduct and
patriotic motives. Whilst it is not in the pow
er of men to command success, they can do
more-they can deserve it,
The Convention was we'll attended, and was
composed of respectable and intelligent mem.
bers.
1t is needless for US to say that We conceive
it to be the duty of Conservatives to support
the nominees of their party whether they are
such as they would prefer or not, for the sue
cess of the party and the preservation of its
organization are far more important than the
success or defeat Of any individual. There is
but little patriotic virtue in supporting candi-
dates of ones choice, for that involves no sacri-
flee, but there is great virtue in sacrificing feel
ings Of personal preference, and, through pa
triotic motives, giving support to the candidates
chosen by the party in conformity with its estab-
lished organization.
The duty of the voter is plain-it is to vote
for the nominee: then if the right man is not
chosen it will not be his fault, but that Of the
Convention supposing him to belong to the
party able to elect.
