The CONGRESSIONAL CANvAss.-1n view
of the Congressional canvass about to be open
ed in Virginia, it may be we'll to remind the
local leaders in every city, every town, every
county, and every township, that the only
danger the Conservatives have to tear is the
indifference and inaction of the white voters
The times are not now as they used to be,
when the people of Virginia all took an ANNA
ted interest in politics. The times are harder
now. Our people are poor; they have little
leisure, and many of them little heart for par
tieipation in public affairs. Hence it is always
difficult to bring out the vote of the Conserva-
tive party as fully as it ought to be brought
out. And in the coming Congressional cleo
tions it must be remembered, there will not be
that universal excitement which ordinarily at
taches to national, State, and local contests.
The Radical party in our State is mainly
composed of negroes, and the negro may be
expected to vote under all circumstances and
on all occasions. Whether the weather is fair
or tout; whether he knows what Office is to be
filled, or does not know, the negro always obeys

10 speaking of the difficulties that arise at
elections in the South, between white aud col
ored men, the Washington Chronicle says
ut is generally occasioned by the selfish course
oe some debased white demagogues, who iuclte
the feeling in hope to gain political Office for
themselves; and so long as this class OF men are
allowed any influence or control in public at
fairs 10 city or State so long will these uulor-
tuaate contests arise, and the sooner the South
crn country is rid Of these pestient instigators
Of public dissord the better for all citizens,
whether white or black, and if they were to
suffer from the summary punishment they
seek to excite against their neighbors the loss
to the community would be small and the pub
lie benefit intellectually great.
Strong language, coming from the source it
does, but just and true.
