H. The Republican rally at the First Afri-
can church last night demonstrates the
fact that the camp fires are brightly burning
in every ward in this city, and the Repub-
licans are only, resting with FURNISHED arms
fort the battle of November, when Conserva-
tism will meet its doom. Long before the
hour arrived for tho speaking TO commence,
the building was crowded SO that when the
gallant IRISH Republican and Hughes and
Ramsdell Flambeau clubs, over two hun
dred strong, made their appearance,
they having marched with steady ranks
from their rendesyouz on Broad street.
it was with difficulty they could get
seats. After the organization of the
meeting BY the election Of j. Antier-
son Taylor, esq. as chairman, and appro-
pirate remarks by the same on taking his
seat, Rev. Abram Price offered prayer
Hen. L.N Fl. Chandler was then intro
duced, who said - ~
VIRGINIA is NOW A sECoND-RATE
STATE,
and If we have any pride id the old state
we should quietly and calmly reflect Ipon
what she needs. She needs to have
her resources of coal and IRON
developed. Both Kemper and Withers
agree. with, us, in. saying that this
can best be done by the completion Of
the James River and Kanawha camel, which
can be most speedily accomplished by the
aid of the general government. Whatiare
the principles that separate the two
parties in Virginia? The platforms
are in the main the same. Then,
why may i we not as well sup
port one as the other I? How does the
great Democratic party Of the past differ
from the Conservative party? Itput forth
its own platform Of principles, while the
CONSERVATIVE PARTY ADOPTS THOSE

The latter reminded him of0a couple of
brooin makers in London, who met on the
street, and one said "Jim, how is it you
can sell your brooms cheaper than can,
when. steals the stuff to make my
brooms?'f A"Well, Harry" said the
other, .I steals my brooms ready-made. "
!, The Republican candidate will be more
likely to get the aid our state needs from
the government than one who has abused
the President and the Republicans in bill
biliingsgate that would disgrace fish

iieved to be in violation Of the constitution
Of the United States, which, if elected, he
must swear to support?
Nov, what has the Republican party
done for the country? First, 1t put down
the rebellion. Not because the Confederate
soldiers were not brave. for they We're, and
Especially the Virginia soldlers) fought
nobly. They were overpowercd BY num-
bers and resources. 1t has paid OFT much
of the war debt and lessened the taxes.
1t settled the law that no European ma
ton should acquire territory on this contl-
Puent. 1t made England pay fifteen mil,
lions ofgold into the treasury ofthe United
States. 1t has encouraged labor.

and has originated and favored public ed
ucation. For the poor man who has con-
tracted debts since the present state con
stitution, should he die suddenly, it has
provided q way by which his family may
be saved from want-the homestead ex-
emption. .sA That passed by the BALDWIN
legislature was unjust.
