The Democratic Conservative
State Convention at Jackson on the
8 was one of the largest and most
harmonious ever convened in that
goodly city or within the walls OF
the Capitol, whore in years gone by
the pride, the chivalry, the wisdom
and craftsmanship of the common
wealth were wont to assemble, and
where in latter days have gathered
motley crowds of low, degraded, de-
based, evil-designing, contriving
tricksters, and political cracksmen
The assembly of last Tuesday was
after the order and typo we have
first named, and as we cast our eye
over the vast assembly, we were
struck with the solemn contrast it
sustained with the assemblies after
the order and type last named. That
convention contained the concentra-
ted wisdom of our great State, and
none of the concentrated, deep and
damning rascality that characterize
the assemblages that have of late
years convened there IN the interest
of and representing and rejecting
the sentiments of the dominant par
ty. The line of action, the rcsolu-
tons adopted are living, breathing,
testifying evidences that the wisdom
and integrity of the State constitu-
ted the body and strength of that
convention, the pretermission of the
color line, the disposition to harmo-
nize the races and various elements
of our system of acknowledgements
are manifestations of the power and
wisdom of that convention. The
addresses of Col. Lamar, Judge
Johnson and Judge Harris, were
the embodiment of conscl vatism
and sound craftsmanship, and found
overwhelming and uncomfortable
expressions of endorsement. The
wisdom, the craftsmanship, the pa
trfotism, the power and determine
ton of that convention have struck
terror and alarm in the hearts of our
enemies. They quail and tremble
before it. 1t was more than they
were prepared for. 1t came upon
them in the hey-day OF their revolry
and jollyfication like storm cloud
upon the bright sunshine of noon
day, shutting out the light of their
hopes and expectations, and leaving
them in darkness and CONSERVATION.
Generalization has set in. 1t will
soon prevade and permeate the
whole Radical body polite. We
have but to keep up the agitation,
revolve it from the center of the
State to the circumference. Keep
it stirred, and wnen November is
dropped from the calendar of 1875,
it will carry with it the Radical par
ty in this State, and forever seal
the cruel book of fate wherein is
written the story of our degradation
and oppression during the past de-
cade, and with the sealing of this
book will begin the exodus Of the
lying, thieving carpet-bag crew, fit
pail bearers for a record SO foul
and ere the chimes of tho holy
Christmas time ring in the memo
ry of the worlds Rcdeemer, will
come the glad tidings that our loved
but down-trodden State is among
the redeemed States of this bright
and glorious Union. And when
time marks the initial hour of the
glad new year, 1876, the centennial
of American Independence, may we
be in fact and reality free and in
dependent sovereign state, in sol
emn union and compact with mu-
tually dependant confederation of
States.
One fate, one flag for all
And we will yield the palm to none
At common CO mtry's call.
