That the real purpose OF the Virginia read

the State there can be, ne suppose, no DOUBT,
but We shall be sadly disappointed 10 our estl
mate Of Virginia character if any other than
icuominious defeat be the fate ofthoso engaged
10 the nefsrious scheme. The hopes of the
leaders of the movement ore fathers to their
Thoughts They are 80 inteu! upon the poiltl.
cal preferment that will result. from the success
Of their project that they willingly allow their
sober Judgment to be overcome, and accept the
opinions Of few conservatives laboripg under
the impression taat they have bceo badly treat
cd, and of cartaia republicans who know thai
their party sleeps tho sleep tLst knows no wax
ing in Virginia, Us correct and positive evidences
that tho sentiment CT the people Of tho State
is with them. 10 Our opinion they were never
more mistaken. Ii the people Of Virginia have
had, siuos the c!css Of the wa7, purpose to
effec. other than thtic ON material advance.
mcnt and tho release Of their State from radi-
cal misrule, i! hiss been to restore the whole
country to the hands Of honest, Eatl10al pa
ttiotic meu-men who have an aspiration
higher thsn mere party success, and who are
willing to bury tho foul csrcass OF sectional ami
mostly in order that tie flowers of peace rsy
bloom the mure beautifully upon its grave; and
to suppose that now, when they have secured
the two branches Of the legislative department
ofthe government, and arc in fair way to co.
taio the executive, to which they are already
Justly entitled, they will abandon the purpose
for which they have labo.ed for years, merely
to please corporsi's guard Of place hunters,
composed Of dissatisfied conservatives, iGGo-
pendents republicans radicals, scaa"ags,
carpet. baggers snd negroes, is 10 estimate their
manhood at go low value as to make The esti'
mate entirely worthless. The vast majority Of
the people Of Virginia know little of, ard care
less for the political aspirations of those who
are induced By their vanity and lust for cthce to
assume the position Of party leaders, but they
xuov great deal Of ard Gaze more for the ur-
gent necessis? Of concentrating thels entire
strength upon the supreme effort they WILL
soon be called upon to make to elect thelr
nominee fJs The next presidency by SO pro
nouBced majority that the radicals will not
attempt to dispute it. This being the case
they will rot allow their eleven electoral woes
to DO endangered ia order that certain pclii.
clans may secure some sort Of nomination for
governor, senator, representative. or lower pc
sitiop ct the coming elections. They care for
themselves their State, and their couutry, but
very little if cay for the politicians, AID the
sooner the latter 6nd this out the better it will
be for them. Their Offset COW is not only to
elect but to inaugurate democratic president,
aud, 10 our opinion, they will not permit the
conservative organization in this State to b.
broken up urtil il shall havo contributed itS
undivided strength to the next national effort
10 accomplish that object.
