The Platform Of the COnsorya.
tive Party.

We, the Representatives of the Conser-
vative people of Virginia, in Conven-
ton assembled do declare
First. That q contrast of the con-
ditiOn of Virginia under Conservative
government with the condition of
those Southern States which have been
under E.adical rule. illustrates the
wisdom of the people of Virginia in
the adoption of their plan of State
policy, and demonstrates the necessity
of continuing the powers of the State
in the control of the Conservative peo-
pie of this Commonwealth.
Second. That the chief purpose of
the Conservative party of Virginia is to
secure to every citizen of this Com
mOnWealth, whether native or adOpted:
of the white or cOlored race, exact and
impartial justice, and to promote by
wise and beneficient legislation, the
prosperity of our whole people.
Third. That the Conservative party
Of Virginia, disclaiming all purposes of
cdptious hostility to General Grant,
will judge him impartially by his
official action, and will cordially CO.
operate in every measure of his admin
istration which may be beneficent in
its design, and calculated to promote
the welfare of the people and to culti-
vate sentiments of good will between
the Union.
Fourth, That the interests of a large
section of this Union, no less than
those of Virginia, demand the speedy
enlargement and completion of the
great James River and kanawha wa
ter line that should connect the wa
ters of the Ohio with those of the Ches-
apeake, affording to the teeming pops
ulatiOn of the West cheap traHspOrta-
tiOn of their products to the point of
of shipment and marts of trade in the
East. The completion by the govern
ment of this great design of George
Washington would be an additional
bond of union between the commu-
mites whose products and cOmmo-
dities would pass over the line of the
great national work.
Fifth. We recognize as a funda-
mental political truth, that upon the
intelligence and virtues of its people
must rest the prosperity, and powers
Ore-eminence of a State. We point
with pride to the successful establish
ment and progress of the free school
system of Virginia, inaugurated and
conducted under circumstances of pc
culiar difficulty. for which we are
indebted to the wisdom and zeal of
Conservative State government. Lib
eral provision ought to be continued
for the support and retention of the
free schools for the white and colored
races respectively.
The rOSOlutIOnS were considered
seriatim.
General Early objected to the reso-
luton relative 10 james River and
Kanawha Canal, as he thought it a
matter in the interest of the Great
West and entirely beyond the control
of the United States Government.
The report and resolutions of the
committee were carried almost unani-
mously, only one vote being cast in the
negative.

KENIPER At GETTYSBURG.

The correspondent of tie WIG
furnishes the following conversation
between kemper and Lee at the
bloodiest moment of the terrible
day at Gettysburg.
A MEMORABLE INCIDENT IN THE HIS
TORY or OUR CANDIDATE,
The newspapers have already had
accounts of a circumstance that oc-
cured after bloody Gettysburg. Now,
without any parade or indelicate COM
ment, / will give here the verbatim
language Of an eyewitness of the
touching sceue
''Gen. Kempe-, when shot from his
horse in the charge of Pickett's divis-
ION at Gettysburg, was being carried in
bloody blanket TO the rear when he
was met 10y Gen. Lee, and the follow

TuE NEW REBELLION.

What Colonel Hughes askes for
is revolution in Virginia. 1t is
amply illustrated by a conversation
recently overhead by Us.
By-stander, No. 1 asked why
the Bristol News is not circulated
more literally among the radicals.
No. , replied that it was Of no
use to DO so, as they could not
read.
To transfer the government of
Virginia to the 100000 colored vo~
tcrs would be a revolution more
violent than the tran-fer of it to the
Government of England. 1t is Sc
vcsSi II in its most revolving and
destructive form. 1t means the Sc
ccssion of the State from those who
have adorned and honored it and
who pay the taxes. 1t is the Sc
rcssion of the State from the white
race.

THR LAW OF DEATH.
By JOHN HAY.


The song Of Kilvany. Fariest she
| In all the land Of SaTatthi.
She had one child, sweet and gay
And dear to her as the light Of day.
She was so young ard he fair,
The same bright eyes and the same dark hair
To see them by the blossomy way.
They seemed two children at their play.
There came death-dart from the sky,
Kilvany saw her darling die.
The glimmering shade his eyes invades,
Out OF his cheek the red bloom fades
His warm heart feels the icy chill.
The round limbs shudder and are still.
And yet KilVany held him fast
Long after ife's last pulse passed
As if her kisses could restore
The smile gone out for evermore.
But when size saw her child was dead
She scattered ashes on her head.
Aud seized the small corpse, pale and sweet,
And RI shing wildly through the street,
She sobbing fell at Buddhas feet.
Master. all-helpful! ~ help me now!
Here at thy feet humby bow
Have mercy, Buddha help me now.
She groveled On the marble floor,
And kissed the dead child DER and DER.
Aud suddenly upon the air
There fell the answer to her prayer:
"Bring me to-night a Lotus tied
With thread from house where none has died
She rose and laughed with thankful joy,
sure that the god would rave the boy.
She found Lotas by the stream:
She plucked it from its MONDAY dream,
And thea from door to door she dared,
To ask what hcWse by death was spared.
H5r heart grew cold 20 see the eyes
OF all dilate with slow surprise
"kilvany thou hast lest tky heaS
Nothing can help q chil4 that's dead.
There stands not by the Ganses' side
house where none h;Hh ever died
Thus through the long and weary DAY,
From every door she bore away
Within her heart, and on her arm,
A heavier load, 4 deeper harm.
by gates Of gold and ivory,
By wattled hints of poverty,
The same refrain heard poor kilyauy,
The Iiring are JeiC-tts dedd are many.
The evening came, still and fleet,
And overlook her hurTytgSg feet,
Ind heart sick, by the sacred fame
She fell, and prayed the god again.
She sobbed and beat her bursting breast;
"Ah thou hast Knocked me Mghtiest
Lo ] havs wandered far and wide
There stands no house where none hath died.
And Buddha answered, IN tone
Soft as lute at twilight blown,
But grand as heaven and strong as death
To him who hears with ears Of faith
"Child, thou art answered Murmur not
Bow, and accept the common lot
KiIvany heard with reverence meet,
And laid her child at Buddha's feet

said that the little finger of a good old
Confederate, true to his record. was
more powerful with Grant than all the
lcins OF million Dick Carriers and l..
H. Chambers.
As to the James River and Kanawha
canal he said that the northern people
were too shrewd to entrust an enter
prise in which they are so deeply in
terested to the Mongrel Radical partv
of the South, party which had made
every southern State as poor as a rat.
General Kemper made a brilliant
perora.ion, aud took his seat amid
great cheers and applause. Old poll
ticians present pronounced his speech
one of the most eloquent and effective
ever made on the stump in Virginia,
and his opponent seemed fairly to
vince under his words.

Curing Without Medicine.

What is diseaae, let US ass again, that
it should or should not be cured? This is
the primary question. The solution Of
this question underlies all argument, all
theory, and all practice. 1t involves the
truth or ialsity Of every medical system -
Those Of our readers who patiently and
carefully follow the series Of articles ap.
pearing monthly in our columns to its con.
clusiou, will have all the data before them
by which to settle this vitally-important
question, which have accrued from two
thousand years Of assidous study and cz.
.perimeutation. We hope and trust that
the testimony will be conclusive in estab.
fishing the right system, whatever that
may be.
Meanwhile, as an aid to the study Of
this problem, as we'll as key to its solu,
ton. let US take the simplest illustration
possible. Give we'll person an "Opora.
