THURSDAY, JUNE l, 1875.

The action of the State Conservative Con.
yeotion in Richmond, yesterday, was lust such
as il shuulu have bceu. Ii appointed state
committee, the requisite number OF delegates
to the National Convention, aud the State ana
district electors, and then, without any SUCH
toolishness as the adoption Of platforms or reso-
lutious, or instructions to delegates, or express
sions of preference for any particular gentle
man spoken of in connection with the presiuen-
tia nomination, adjourned, as the sensible peo-
plc of whom it was composed should have done
From our Knowledge OF tie personnel OF the
delegates selected to 60 to St. Louis We are IN
duced to believe that their action lu the Ma
tional Convention will be as wise and prudent
as was that OF The bo0y from which they obtain
their credentials, and that, actuated by motives
of the highest patriotism, they will go to st.
Louis with the sole object of assisting, to their
utmost, any legitimate measure that may DC
deemed most likely to overthrow the present
corrupt Radical administration, and to restore
the control of the country to the hands OF hon
est and honorable men. Individually they may,
and doubtless do have, personal preferences
that they would like to have grauhed 0y the
action of the convention, but we are sure that
these preferences will not, in the remotest de-
gree, affect their course, which will be directed
10 the discovery OF the man who can command
m ire electoral votes 10 the North than any oi
his competitors, and, having made that dlscov'
cry to cast the united vote OF the State tor HIM
and to eloqucotly aud iorclbly advise the dele
gates from all the other Southern States to fol
low their example; and, if we are not deceived
that advice will not 60 UNDECIDED.
