1t their duty to call the attention of the Con-
sentative party to the Importance OF the
.eIectionto be. held n-tbe Sd day OF NoFem'
Der next to select delegates from Virginia TO
the Forty fourth Congress of the United
States. The Conservative pafty, by us
energy, zeal, and ability, have acquired and
now hold control of the management OF the
afriirs of the State. Through the wisdom OF
her statesmen and the energy OF her sons, the
noble old Commonwealth regained her place
among the States Of the Union; ana since
that period her executive, legislative, ana
judicial departments have been ably nilea ana
wisely administered aud whist the Conser-
yative party have been firm aHd. fearless 10
maintenance of the doctrine that the inferior
race must not be The ruling race, yet they
have observed and administered all laws,
State and Federal, with an impartial eye to
the rights of allmeD, regardless of class,
color, nativity, political opinion, or party
association. Its, however, not less lmpor'
tant that the voice Of the State should De
heard and her influence felt in the COUNCILS
of the Union. To accomplish this it IS es-
sential that the Conservative party should
select able and efficient men to represent her
on the floor of Congress. This can be done
by an earnest and united effort. Con1en-
tions have been held in every congressional
district throughout the State, and patriotic
and enlightened candidates have been chosen
as the standard-bearers Of the party, and all
differences that existed prior to the selection
of candidates should be forgotten. all dissen-
sions buried, and by united effort success
ensured. With a yewto accomplish this
desirable end, it is recommended that the
city aud county committees appointed Tor the
gubernatorial canvass of 1873, or other eX-
istiug orgar izations, be requested TO con-
tinue in the discharge Of their duties during
the pending congressional canvass ana 10
perfect their organization wherever 1t IS de-
fective; and they are earnestly urged to tho
roughly organize their respective cities and
counties by the appointment of suitable cam
yassers ard committees: to use all the means
ia their power to heal dissensions in the
party, if any exist; to see that every voter
is registered, and TO adopt effective measures
to ensure a iull attendance at the polls and
IN undivided support of the regular nomi-
nces Of the party.
The State Conservative Committee declare
it 10 be the duty of every Conservative Or
ganizltion, as it should be their earnest pur-
rose, not ouIy TO throw the whole weight OF
the party organization against Republican
candidates everywhere en the State, but, in
accordance with the resolution unanimously
adopted by the State Convention, 10 treat
boilers from our organization or opponents
Of our candidates in all respects as Republic
cans. --..---.--..
The committee cannot too earnestly i'm
press upon the Conservative party that by
thorough organization in every city and
county we shall not only maintain Conserva-
tive asccndeDcy in the State, but we shall
SO, ure Il full delegation in Congress and re-
Store the old Commonwealth TO the proud
position she once occupied in the peerage Of
States, when the wisdom of her statesmen
will again be exerted in shaping tie policy
and guiding the destinies of the nation.
