State CcntraI Committee

The following call Of an early
meeting of the State Executive
Committee of the Conservative par,
ty, IS published in the Richmond
papers Of Yesterday:
RIChMoND, May 30, 1874.
TO secure unifcaiion of the Con-
sentative vote in each OF the Con-
eressional Di. tricts and to suggest
general plan by which Compression
conventions may be called and
delegates thereto appointed, it is
deem ed advisable to convene the
State Committee for the purpose of
consultation and with a view To such
action as may be required Each
and every member of the State Com
mitlee is, therefore, urged to be
p 'eSent at meeting 10 lie
acid at the Executive Committee
rooms in this city, on Wednesday,
The 10th Of June.

The leading object for which this
meeting is called is certainly very
important to the harmony and CO.'S
tinued success of the Conservative
party aud we hope there will be an
attendance Of the State Committee
at the time and place specified. We
want no disorganizatiOn in our ranks
in any district or portion Of the State.
nor can We afford it. We must hold
fair conventions and nominate good
candidates, ard we must as honora
be men support them when non. =
mated. There arc prominent, sign
of disorgqnization in one or two
districts already, and if looseness be
allowed upon any preteXt III any
quarter, it will result III the ultimate
ruin and defeat of our party in the
State. The strong conservative Con-
gresSional districts like the 9Th, 9Th
and 9th, are the very distri is in
which We should hold fast to our
united majorities, and yet it is in
two of them-the Alexandria and
AbiI gdCn districts where the rrin
cipal danger LOW Il reatens us by
independent candidates. -PeterSJurg
