The Virginia conservative press very gen.

pic against the nomination Of Mr.. Greeley.

concludes as follows:
"Are the Southern conservatives to be

Baltimore Convention. and the Northern
democrats to be free and foot loose? This
matter ought to be carefully looked into.
"In conclusion. we incline to think that
Mr.. Voorhees, TRADE. which was designed
to kill Mr.. Greeley. will greatly help him
and the liberal cause with both the South

democrats. A few more such TRADES viii

The following. however. from the Pc
tersburg Progress may be taken as the
general answer of Virginia and the rest of
the South to Mr.. VOORHEES,. 1t says:
The telegraph has already announced
tn readers Of the Progress that the Hon.
D. W. VOORHEES,. of Indiana, had made
use Of his privileges As member of the
House of Representatives to deliver vio-
lent TRADE against the Cincinnati noui-
nees. We have received full report Of
the speech Of the man who so earnestly
defended one Of John Browns murder
Gus crew. and have only to say in reply to
his pretended defense Of the South that
We have had entirely enough Of himself
and the class to which he belongs.
by such men. BY such brave speakers,
by such unconqucrablc caucus warriors,
were we persuaded into war When the
flower of both sections was falling on blood y
fields. Mr. Voorhees, was still making pref
ty speeches in Congress.
Since actual hosti!i,ics ceased. this gen.
tleman has insisted that the South should
stand by its colors AMI BY 50 doing the
South has lost everything. while Mr..
voorhees, andh is associates havc-kcpt in
Congress.
Now let all the people Of his way Of
thinking understand that their one-sided
game is played out. The South is as tired
Of the costly friendship ofpretended friends
as Of the constant victories of open ene-
mics.
If Mr.. voorhees, has nothing more solid
to appeal to than the past passions Of the
Southern people, he had better begin to
cultivate new talent-that Of silence
and try to learn q lesson which has been
taught 70 wiser men that the worm will
turn when trodden on.
Certainly. having .steadfastly resisted
the encroachments and aggressions of the
absolute rulers Of the country. we are
neither foolish nor craven enough to sub
NIT to the dictation Of minority.

If We were venal, they could honor no
promised tribe.
No! No! No! Let that clique Of
the Northern democracy which ties its
fortunes to belief in the perpetual cred
ulty Of Southern conservatism receive the
truth in time. We are sick Of CANNON.
We will not vote for any more (slready
defeated) Seymours. We cannot again
place issues Of life and death at the dis
posal Of the New York World. We will
not again save local honors and spoils to
the faithful in Indiana BY the sacrifice
of life. liberty and property BY the people
Of the South.
