Congress, but coqueting with Grantism
is not popular in Virginia. Personally
General Grant is in better odor here
than any other member Of his party
But he is the acknowledged head OF
the Radical organization in the United
States, the worst party, ever known in
American politics. The Conservatives
of Virginia have tested by time and
trials the value and expediency of their
own position. They know their own
strength, and have a calm confidence
and self reliance which cannot easily be
disturbed. They have not gone to ex-
tremities Of any kind, but have been
actuated by a spirit Of tolerance to
wards others, aud of justice aud kind
ness to the blacks which have COM
manded the respect of reasonable men
in other sections. With erect port,
courageous souls and strong hands they
have borne Virginia u.lscathed through
the most trying period Of her political
troubles. This great party of law and
order, Of right and justice, of supreme
devotion to Virginia, and, at the same
time, Of perfect good faith to the gen
eral government, is not going to fly
nadly from its sphere towards any ether
political association, though it will al
ways welcome to its own platform those
who will accept its principles and fight
under its flag. Col Mosby is a gallant
gentleman and soldier, and withal has
considerable political sagacity. We
shall not forget the service he has rem,
dered the State in the field, nor how
faithful he stood by the old Mother in
the election for Governor. But he is
on the wrong trail now, and will not
find many to follow him. The con-.
servatives of Virginia are going to be
true to this grand old State to the last
Through the long midnight of her
tribulations they have stood, shoulder
to shoulder, by her side, and the sun
beginning to tinge the retiring clouds,
they will hail the advent of a better
time with unanimous shout of victory.
Or if in this they are deceived; if the
light they see is only the lurid glare
that portends still fercer storm, they
will bare their breasts to the tempest,
and if Virginia will perish they will
perish with her.-Lynch5urg Neps.
