Meeting at Abingdon.

On Monday last, there was held at
Abingdon a meeting of the Conserva-
tives for the purpose of appointing
delegates TO the Richmond Conven-
tion Of Thursday last, Owing to the
previous pOstponement of the County
Court until Wednesday, there were
only about fifty persons present, in
Guiding town and country. Two reso-
lutions were aGopEeti-the first, ask
ing the Convention to change the
method of our party organization to
something sensible and practical. and
the second, asking our delegates to
pursue such course and urge such
policy as will promote the interests
and best insure the success of the
Cincinnati ticket-Greeley & Brown.
We did not obtain a complete list
of delegates. Col. I. B. Dunn and
[. c. Fowler we're appointed for
Goodson Township. Mr.. L. Baugh
and probably Mr.. S. f. Hurt OF Alb
ingdon as we'll as Col. Dunn of Good
son, are present at Richmond. The
editor of this paper found it inconve-
nient to attend That the Conven-
ton will be for the Cincinnati ticket
there is not the shadow of doubt.

SUPPORTING GREELEY UP
ON PRINCIPLE

Gen. D. H. Hill-"Bethel" Hill, OF
war memOry-in the Southern Home,
of which he is editor, presents strong
article to show that the people of the
South, in their enthusiasm for Horace
Greeley, are not guided by policy sim
ply, but by principle. We quote the
following striking paragraphs from
his article:
We do not take Mr.. Greeley there
fore from policy, but from principle.
We take him because he is with us in
all the essential principles which are
involved in the Presidential contest. -
He is opposed to banning the old lea
ders of the South. He is opposed to
carpetbagism. He is opposed to mill
tary rule and the persecution of the
people. He is opposed to the thievish
rings which bankrupt the masses to
enrich the rogues. He is opposed to
extravaganza in administering the
government and high taxes upon the
people. He is opposed to two terms in
the Presidential office-the first term
being employed in bribing the way
with stolen money for second term.
He is opposed TO sqUandering the pub
lie domain upon the swindlers who
bribe the President and Congress to
pass iniquitous Rail Road bills. He
is opposed to putting incompetents
into office, even should they be
kind to the President. He is opposed
to making a Poland of the South, and
in favor of winning our people 10y the
law Of kindness. IN brief, on all the
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1872-06-28
senator ScIiuurz,s speech,

The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing synopsis of Senator Schurz' S
Speech at the New York Conference,
held on Thursday:
cat this point Carl Schurz appear
ed and having missed his turn in the
call of States was accorded the privi-
lige of speaking then and there. He
asked for himself no peculiar privi-
lige. lie was there to do his best to
harmonic the conflicting elements of
the party opposed to the corrupt and
demoralizing rule of Grant and his
men. All he could do he would do
cheerfully and to the best Of his abil-
ity to secure for America rights long
lost and liberties disregarded. He
had been misunderstood and misrep
resented in this political fight and he
was glad to have the opportunity of
explaining his position. He stood
by the nominations we'll and carefully
made at Cincinnati, and would hear
tily support the ticket. applause.
Perhaps better ticket could have
been devised and perhaps not. Mr.
Greeley is now before the people and
his name cannot be withdrawn. The
overwhelming waves of opinion, are
rising in his favor ard it would be i'd
otto to attempt at this juncture to
stay their progress. We have to vote
for Greeley or declare ourselves for
Graatism. What shall we do? The
voice of the country responds cheer
fully, Greeley and Brown for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States" (Applause.)
Senator Schurz then proceeded to
laud the gentlemen on the national
ticket and expressed the opinion that
if Mr.. Greeley was elected-as he
will be by an overwhelming vote-he
would select from all parties such a
Cabinet and draw around him such
men as the nation would place entire
and implicit confidence in. Horace
Greeley will not be the President of q
section of the country, the creature OF
clique, the automaton of cable
He will be the President of the Amer
lean people, one and indivisible"
Bristol news. [volume] (Bristol, Va. & Tenn.) 1867-189?, 1872-06-28

living Issues of the hour, Mr.. Greeley
and the South, are In. perfect accord
His platform and his letter embrace
all for which we can now contend. II
is because of this agreement in princi-
pie that we accept him as our leader,
and not because of any low views OF
policy and expediency.
1.-THE Radical candidate has but
two ideas in his head. The first is to
get richer still by gifts from bride
givers. The secoud is to degrade, hui
initiate and ruin the Southern people.
We oppose him on principle, and we
favor the man whose personal honesty
is above suspicion, and whose heart is
big enough TO feel for the wrongs aud
Outrages committed upon the States
lately in rebellion"
These two paragraphs, alone will
outweigh all the gibberish that Mosby,
Stephens, Toombs, & Co., may utter
from now till November.

GEN. PREsTON,s ADDRESS.

An ornate writer in the Lynchburg
Republican, in speaking of the closing
exercises of Preston and Olin Institute
at Blacksburg, says:
"These exercises, are now emphatical-
ly closing ones, for by the action of its
masters the star of the Preston & DIN
set in the now refulgent splendor of
the new constellation that shall take
its place, the Virginia Agricultural
and Mechanical College. And worthy
did the rays of the dying star of our
Virginia educational heaven fore
shadow the light of the grandest orb
to comet The assembling at Blacks
burg of the elite of the Southwest in
itself showed the deep hold the Pres
ton & DIN has upon the hearts of the
people of that section. Named after
| VIM. Ballard Preston, that tower of
the bygone strength of the State that
| first among the cOurtiers of our Royal
| Virginia, and after that grand disciple
of Wesley, DIR. DIN, the Preston and
Olin ever enjoyed the fostering care of
Southwestern Virginia's first citizens,
and the sanctum of the grand old pio-
nper church 4
The closing Grafton proper by Gen.
| John S. Preston was one difficult to
| analyze, for that master of the divine
art of oratory seized so wholly our
| hearts and minds that criticism drop
ped its pen and only lived in the pen
sketches ola heartfelt admiration, of
an humble acknowledgment of intel
lectual powers that like polar glaciers
cannot be measured-cannot be reach
ed by man. Yet in memory, listening
to the deep patriotism, the profound
arguments, the soft and gentle appeals,
the cutting but Damascean polished
sarcasms of the great orators speech,
we can but bow in admiration and
trace the proud history of former times
to the efforts of such intellects, to the
lives of such men.
