aud are nephews of Col. J. NJ. Jayne. The
Examining Board consisted of Rev. W. II.
Crane, d. D., Gen. J. A. Smith and Capt. \.

w. the representatives of the Conserva-
tive people OF Virginia, in convention as
Sembled, do declare
That a contrast of the condition of Vir-
giuia, under Conservative government, with
the condition of those southern States which
have been under Radical rule, illustrates
the y i-dom of the people of Virginia in the
adoption of their plan OF State policy, and
demonstrates the necessity OF continuing
the poWer~ at the State government in the
control OF the Conservative people of this
Common wealth.
That the chiet purpose of the Conserva-
tive party ot Virginia is To secure to every
citizen ot this Commonwealth, whether ma
tive or adopted, OF the white or the coIored
race, exact and impartiol Justice, and to
promote by wise and beneficial legislation.
the pros perity of our whole people
That the Conservative party of Virginia
di-elaiming all purpose OF captious hostility
to General Grant. will Judge him imparti-
ally by his official action, aud will cordially
cooperate in every measure Of his Admin
istration which may be beneficial in its de-
sign and calculated to promote the welfare
of the people and to cultivate sentiments of
good Will between the different sections of
the Union.
That the interests of a large section Of
this Union. no less than those of Virginia.
demand the speedy enlargement and com
pletou of the great james River and the
kanawha water line that should connect
Chesapeake, affordng TO the teeming POM
iation of the West cheap transportation al
their produce to the points of shipment and
marts of trade in the East. The completion
by the Government of this great design of
George Washington would be an additional
bond of union between the communities
whose products and commodities would
pass over the line of the great national
work.
That we recommend as fundamental poIit-
ical truth that upon the intelligence and
virtue of its people must rest the prosper
