A Word of Warning,

"Our party" says the Richmond Enquirer,
lis 10 danger, but it is not from any apprehend-
ed inaction on the part Of the true men who
held aloof from Mr.. Greeley that We have fears
of defeat. There is one source of anxious dis
trust Of our SUCCESS in the fall elections and only
one: there may be incidental local issues, sub
ordinate questions of State policy, put SO prom
inently forward to the State, CT at least in some
portions Of the State, as to make them seem
superior to the grave matters Of vital Geo.
Germ to the Commonwealth which are in dis.
pute between the two parties. We are appre-
hensive that there are men Of influence, here
tofore cooperating with the Conservative par
ty, who have higher regard for railroad inter
ess, in which their own interests are involved
than for the interests of the Virginia people
and who, unless the candidate nominated fol-
Governor by the Conservatives shall be known
to be partial to their policy in railroad affairs
will part with their party, and either enter into
an alliance with the Radicals, or attempt to &C.
cure their success by diversion in their favor
We sincerely hope this may not be so.
But lest it may prove to be so we warn the
Conservatives all over Virginia, to beware
Of wiles and guiles that may mislead then
into opposition TO the principles they hay.
at heart, and TO the party they are sup
porting. We have an abiding faith in the pa
triotism and intelligence Of the men OF the Con
servative party in Virginia; We know they ar
true, tor they hsVO shown it. But there ar
sometimes strategy in politics as well as in war
and all men may be deceived. Let them keey
before them the principles for which they hay,
have heretofore contended. Let them regard
Radicallsm as they have always regarded it. =
Let them determine that the canvass between
the two candidates of the two parties for tn
GoVernorship shall be conducted with no refer
ence to railroad interests, but exclusively be
tween Radicalism on the one side, and Con
servatlsm On the other. Let them listen to NJ
proposals for compromise with the enemy
whether they are made by friends or foes. LIE
them resolve that the interests of Virginia ar,
above and beyond the interests Of any man. o
any company, or corporation. +"

this fact.
AS patent self-raker it is the only machine

As mower the Dorsey ia warranted to do the
work as well as it can be done by any other ma
