Radical and Conservative Parties.

The Richmond Enquirer says that, ''the
Radical party which held the bayonet to the
bruised aud bleeding bosom Of the South after
the Con!ederacy had fallen, is the same party
with which We are still contending. The Rad
ical party which would, if it could, have put
upon the people Of Virginia most proscriptive
provisions ia their State Constitution, is the
same party still struggling for ascendency in
the government of this Commonwealth. The
Radical party in Virginia, composed mostly of
negroes when it first came into the field in our
State, is made up now as it was made up then.
TIE Conservative party from its inception
has been in opposition to everything ike usur-
patton, everything like arbitrary rule, every
thing like martial law in place of civil codes.
It originated on middle ground-between the
old extremes Of both sections It embodied in
It's primary principles broad, bold, just and gen
erous sentiments of a national nature. As ii
was then in its origin, so il is DOW in It's pride
Of progress and power
1t opened lis doors in the outset TO all men
who were opposed 10 Radical rule, and in favor
Of a State government ia Virginia in accor-
dance with the constitution Of the TDion, 10 all
its force, in all its parts, with all the amend
ments attached. 1t is still the same party.
with the same policy, aud the same purposes.
It comedies to the colored man, not grudging-
" and sparipgly, but freely and fully, all the
rights with which the Federal laws and the
laws of the State have invested him, and it
protects him and means to protect him 10 the
exercise aud enjoyment of these rights But
at the same time it does not concede that the
colored race ought to control in Virginia.
For the sake Of the black man as we'll as the
white man, it is necessary that the superior
race shall be held superior. wherever, whenever
Or however they may live together under one
government.
The origin of the Conservative party was in a
spirit of moderation and Ia conformity to the
wisest dictates of justice and reason. It's aim
has always been. is still, and, we trust, will
ever be, to preserve the principles of republi-
can government. TO promote the material inter-
ests of all the people, and to save Virginia
from destruction at the hands of ignorant ne
groes under the lead of demagogues who de-
ceive them"

The Richmond Enquirer says: THE Con-
sentative party in Virginia has an assurance OF
victory in November almost as we'll ascertaiued
as any event in the future can be. But it must
be remembered. the assurance rests upon their
fidelity to the party which they have sustained,
and which has sustained them by an impartial
administration of the laws, applicable alike to
all men of all classes, and regardless Of color
and condition according to the constitution of
the State"

What Radical Success Means.

Radical success in Virginia, says the Rich
mond Wing, means everything that would be
degrading to her character and ruinous to her
interest. 1t means the infusion into every de-
partment of our home government of the rank
est radical virus. It means the ascendancy Of
negroes and carpet-baggers, which is but an
other name for the predominance of igno-
rance and dishonesty. 1t means the election
of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and an
Attorney General, who will have to do the bid
ding Of the mongrel party by which they shall
have been elected. 1t means the election of
Legislature in which et.baggers, negroes.
and a few native Radicals shall have sway. 1t
means the displacement Of the present County
Judges, and the election in their stead of
black-and-tan county judiciary. 1t means the
election of the same class of men to the Offices
of Secretary of the Commonwealth, Treasurer
Auditor, SO. Nor is this all, or one-half even.
of what Radical success meaus. They will
have the power of taxation; they will control
the revenues of the Commonwealth, the pub
lie works. the public Institutions, educational,
eleemosynary and penal. Having all this vast
power, all the departments Of the State gov
eminent and all its finances, will they do any
better than the mongrel rulers of the other
Southern States, notably Of Louisiana and
South Carolina, have done? Are they not
creatures of the same stamp? Are they not
''thieving carpet-baggers and ignorant ne
groes? Wherever these mongrels have OBJ
| tanned sway they have pursued the same course,
adopted the same measures, erected the same
tyranny, committed the same malfeasances, the
same frauds, the same robberies, aud wrought
the same ruin.
Let Virginia fall under the dominion of the
mongrel party at the coming election and she
| will not be habitable for decent people wher
| they are done with her. We will have not on.
" the same thieving and tyranny that they
have introduced into the other States Of the
South, but We will have the same political an.
archy aud violence. They will crack Their
whips over US, exasperate us to resistance, an6
| then We shall have worse scenes than those
| lately witnessed in Louisiana for the Virgins
people while not SO mercuriai and excitabe al
some of their Southern brethren, are more
| dangerous when aroused, not being SO readily
restrained
