JAY MORNING., JUNE
that we go for paying the debt and uphold
ing the credit Of the common coun-
try, because they involve our honor,
because they are the debt and the
credit OF the United States, which is
our country, and our only country, now,
henceforward, and forever; that we go for
cutting down the taxes and expenses OF
Government according to the ancient stand
| ards OF economy; that we go, not for the
reform which Is the campaign cateh-word OF
/ aspirants, but for that reform which sweeps
through the civil service, which means
business and strikes terror into corruption
and corruptionists, which annihilates
Crkdit-Mo6iliers and whiskey rings, and
all those forms OF peculation and ex-
travagance in which, as in q bottom
less gulf. the earnings OF the people
are being annually sunk beyond recovery
| that, in. a word, we go, to use the Ian
guage Of Andrew Jackson, for ga plain
government, devoid Of pomp, protecting
all, granting fayors to none, dispensing its
blessings, like the dews OF Heaven, unseen
they contribute to produce"
II on these grounds we appeal to the
country we will arouse the great heart OF
the American people, and we shall behold a
revolution as grand as that which, under
the lead OF Jefferson, reversed the politics
Of the western world seventy-siX years ago.

SPEECH FROM HON. JOHN GooDE.
During the absence of the committee Hon.
John Goode appeared upon the stage, and
uproarious calls were made for speech
from this distinguished congressman Mr..
Goode came forward and thanked the Con-
yention for the compliment paid him in
calling him out. He was happy to meet so
many representative men fresh from the peo-
pie 10 make preparations for the great strug-
gle which lies before us. The obligations Of
patriotism demand that we shall rise supe-
rior to every other consideration than the
good, the honor, and the welfare of the
American people. He hoped the action
of this Convention would be such as
to reflect credit upon the Old Com
monwealth and rebound to the good
Of ALL He thought it would be I'm
wise in the Convention to instruct
the delegates to the st. LOUIS Convention; {;
they ought to go untrammclled, so that after
full and free consultation Virginia can
utter her voice, and the Convention send
out q man to the people who can overthrow
| the tables of the money-changers at the Ma
tional Capital and wrest the reins OF the
Government from the hands of the corrupt
! leaders. -.-.."
] Retrenchment and reform is what we
want in. every department. The Govern
! 60,
of the Republicans, who have done all they
could to feed the fires Of revenge and keep
alive the animosities OF the war. The Ia
borer and mechanic arc idle; the national
debt has been doubled, until now the pro-
pcrty OF the country is overwhelmed. The
whole head OF the country is sick.
| Mr.. Goode said that last night General
Early. who heard that some congressman
were here. wanted to put them in the guard
house. He desired to say, with all due re-
spcct to that gentleman, that in his IudS-
ment such thing would be unwise, to say
the least OF it. [Laughter.l
The speaker then proceeded to very eio-
uuently address the Convention upon the
good to result to the country from the re-
| formations in its Government which the
Conservative party would adopt, and the
blessings that will crown an honest nations
affairs He next said that IL the Senatc ol
the United States will agree with the House
we will this year have Il reduction in the
cxpenses OF the nation OF forty millions OF
dollars. We can win this fight II we only
make up our minds to do so. We want con-
slant, consistent, and laborouS efforts, now
ever, to do it. Let us perfect and improve
our party. Let our watchword be retrench-
mont and reform, and when the battle comes
in November, Old Virginia Will be 1ollnd
with her standards far advanced and her
colors marching on with the column tilat
moves to victory. [Great apphuse.J
