TREASON IN THE COUNTY,

Itreports be true, there are men
in Washington Countrywide are 10y
al to the Conservative party only
for the purpose Of ruling it, 1t is
very boldly charged by very many
persons that an alliance has been
clandestinely formed between a dis
affected portion of the Conserva-
tiyes and Radicals. We confess
that the charge comes with a de
gree Of evidence which clothes it
in very plausible habiliments.-
These gentlemen cannot be permit
ted to face both ways. They must
either submit to party discipline or
march squarely out Of the party. 1t
is folly to alledge that in the alb
sence of nominations they are free
10 chose, except by the prompt
shedding ofthe party cuticle. The
radicals select those candidates
most acceptable to themselves and
least acceptable to us. Moreover
a single radical hug is generally IA
tai to conservative virture. This
means ploughing with the rad
ical heifer. 1t is simply political
whoring with the enemy. 1t makes
the radicals the arbiters Of our cOun-
ty matters, it paralizes the conser-
vative will and it leaves those who
thus 90 to the enemy in such po-
sition that they can, and are pretty
sure 20 remain there. We warn
these gentlemen that it draws the
party lines. The thing, wont 60
down the throats of the people, but
they will spew such disloyalty out
oftheir mouths. Without mincing
matters we had Just as well say that
the charge seqRs, perfectly well de-
fined and upon this evidence there
are those who will go before
the country, and from this time un-
til the 4th day of November they
will cry aloud and spare not these
instigators of devilment in the ranks
Of our party. csaim is county do
mination and its end cannot be 10y
atty to the Richmond ticket. You
may swap the State ticket gentle
men, but you cannot defeat it
Moreover we mean to assert fatty
that you cannot send up mongrel
delegation from Washington Coun-
ty, nor can you make ofyour pres
ent movement figure s for the
next congressional canvass, leaving
yourselves standing in its middle
ready to face either way! The
people are watching you with more
than three thousand eyes, and they
will pelt You on the 4th proximo
with MANY a fearless ballot.

the circle, wouldn't he make them
whiz 4? The truth is Andy had no
business being beaten for the Pres
idency again, and then again, for if
he had gone into C@zarism, they
would have returned his little tin
box in time, just as they did Grants.
The truth is Andy seems to have a
splendid run of i'll luck. But we
don't believe he lost any 100000
and we will be sorry if he has.

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
captious hostility to General Grant,
will judge him impartially by his
official action, and will cordially CO.
operate in every measure of his admin
istratiOh 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 large
section of this Union, no less than
those of Virginia, demand the speedy
enlargement and completion of the
great James River and Kauawha 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 trauspOrta-
llOH vi tIltlI lIOuuNlS W hIC iJOiiiI WI
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 lite 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
pre-eminence of State. We point
with pride to the successful establish
ment and progress of the free SchOoi
system of Virginia, inaugurated and
conducted under circumstances of pc
culiar difficulty. for which we are
indebted 10 the wisdom and zeal of a
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 resolutions were considered
seriatim.
General Early objected to the reso-
luton relative to James River and
Kanawha Canal, as he thought it Il
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 un6ni-
mously, only one vote being cast in the
negative.

THE 100000 which Mr.. John
son deposited with Jay, Cooke u
Co. was originally in bonds and
he accepted their proposition to
convert it into currency and depos-
1t with them at 6 per cent. So
says the Nashville Banner, and if
1t be as stated by that journal it
only proves that the then President
had more confidence in Jay, Cooke
& Co, than he had in the Federal
Circle which he was fond of swing
ing around. If Andy could now
swing Jay Cooke & Co. around

The Platform of the Conserva-
tive Party.

We, the representatives of the Conser-
vative people of Virginia, in Conven-
ton assembled do declare
First. That contrast of the con-
dition Of Virginia under Conservative
government with the condition OF
those Southern States which have been
under I.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-

THE ECLECTIC TICKET.

After roading The TRIBUNE Of yesterday, thoro
was universal expression Of rogrot among our
citizonB that person Of the +" bud habits' Of Il.
D. OolYin had been nominated for the Office Of
Mayor instead Of a poraon Of tho exemplary
character Of Wilbur T. Storey. Ag the matter
yns discussed ut thousands Of flrosidos, It was
genoral1y conceded that Mr. Storey WAS
an ornament to his sox, md young children
wore hoard to oxolaim tint they hoped to grow
up to bo good, like nIr. Storey, aud thus become
worthy to fill tho ofico Of Mayor Of Chicago.
The disappointment at tho mistake made by tho
nesing Convention Was especially marked
among the ladies', and It ia reported TINT toars
woro si1od in some instances. The alternative
offered, however, of IN Eclectic Ticket had re-
assuring effect, and az 1t wau thought Mr. Storey
would not refuse to take his appropriate
place at tho head OF it, the public af11tction was
eonsibly moderated. It was suggested that q
committee OF Eclectic physioians be appointed
at an early day to wait upon hrr. Storey aud as.
sure him OF their undivided support. It ia
agreed tint after tho Eclectic Ticket put in the
