Col. Withers' Speech at Salem.

In a notice of the speech delivered at Salem,
| the Roanoke Times says:
s'The meeting being duly organized, Colonel
Withers was introduced to the people amidst
deafening applause. He went to work in good
earnest, and in few moments commanded the
rapt attention of all present. He urged upon
all the necessity of hard work and united effort
in behalf of the Conservative cause. He took
the broad ground that the success of Radical
ism in Virginia implied negro equality. mixed
schools, onerous taxation, and total social and
political ruin. He referred to the pregnant fact
that resolution. offered in the Radical Conven-
ton In Lynchburg, opposing mixed schools
was voted down with little or no opposition.
This of itself should convince the white men of
Virginia what their duty is to each other, to
their wives and their children, in the impend-
ing crisis. 1t shows the aims which actuates
large majority OF that moDgrel party, who are
coming forward with specious pleading asking
the support Of the white people of the State
But give them control of the executive and leg
islative departments of the State government,
and soon Virginia will be 10 the very deplora-
Bile condition of the Southern States controlled
by carpet-baggers and negroes. The Radicals
have thrown down the gage in the matter Of
race, and We should accept it unfinchingly.-
The lines should be strictly drawn"
