Correspondence of the Richmond DispatchJ 4
-. <"s.< SEPTEMBER IL, 1870 :.
The Conservative primary conventions
will be held at the several Yoting-preclncts
In the county on Saturday the Goth instant,
and the delegates selected by the same VIII
meet here on Monday the I'D to nominate
candidate for the House OF Delegates. On,
the last named date delegates will be Sc
iccted to represent the county in the Sena.
torial Nominating Convention, which is to
meet at Spotsylvania Courthouse on the
9Th Of October I cannot surmise who the
gates, but it is universally conceded that he
should be the very best man that can be Sc
lected. No campaign is being waged for
any man, so far as your correspond
ept knows and believes, and hence
there will be no soreheads nor apathy,
| which so often characterize the defeated
candidates and their friends after warm
canvass for the nomination. Then, too,
this county, under the new apporllonment,
| Is entitled to one delegate only, and the
| hitherto camor for one man from tne
" upper" and one from the slower end"
together with the "log-rolIing" and conl-
binalions always charged, will thereby be
ended. The Conservatives of Louisa 10y
which term mean all those and only those
who are atfiiating with the party, for the
claim of those who arc aftiliating with the
Mozart-Hall party that they are ConSrrVa-
| tiyes is mere bosh) are deeply interested In
| the maintenance Of the McCulloch-Oill set
Element of the public debt, and the common
desire to see the best man nominated that
can be selected and the desire for the sue
cess Of their ticket browns all personal
preferences, and hence the result is, as
above stated, there is no canvass being
prosecuted for any one. The result OF such
a state OF feeling is most likely to result in
the selection OF Il capital Standard bearer
| Pity it is that there is not less canvass
| ing for nominations everywhere. Then
party feuds would be less frequent, the
unity of the party more thoroughly pre-
served, and better men appear IN the iegls-
lative halls. But did not intend to go OIL
| into political discussion. 1t is most proDa-
BILE that our present able and efficient scna-
tor and, above all. conscientious, Christian
gentleman, Captain Fl. w. Murray, VIII be
renominated to represent the counties OF
Stafford, SpotSyvania, and Louisa in the
next Senate OF Virginia. Captain Murray
and Major j. Horace Lacy are the only two
competing candidates, and Major Lacy
stated here last court that he should not
have been a candidate had he not thought
! (having been informed) that Captain Muir
ray had declined denomination, and that
he Murray) had certainly represented him
(Lacy) and his county faithfully and no fault
could be found Of him. There seems no
doubt OF Captain Murray's denomination;
and in that event the Columbian Lion"
promises to WELD bis ''meat-aXe" for him.
Mr.. Powell, the r, adjusting orator who
honestly proclaimed his sentiments here
on court-day. and upon whose open
reputation sentiments the Dispatch has
made capital hits at the Readiusters, will
doubtless be the candidate OF the Bead
luSlcrS, auQ IL ue Is IlS Dto-
patch points referred to will be even more
applicable, as the faction OF the party claim
! ing to be non RepudidtioniStS will endorse
| reputation in the selection of man as
| their standard-bearer with open and above
board Reputation sentiments. With the
| Dispatch, I would say all credit to Mr..
Powell mot for being Repudiationist, OF
| course,) for his unwillingneSs to cloak his
sentiments under false colors but this dis
| trct will never elect q man, in your CORE
| spondent's humble opinion, with either re-
DudiatioD principles or others false to
the teachings of Conservatism and to
the noble maXiTs and traditions Of the
grand old mother Of States and
OF statesmen. Major John W. Daniel,
Virginia's slvery-longued orator and
stauncb statesman, will hold up our cause
here next c0urt-day. A grand rally is en-
pected, as cur people have long been wish
ing to hear the Majors manly voice raised
in old Louisa, and he comes now IN the
great battle for the maintenance OF Vir-
ginia's honor, rs true as he was in the great
conflict when Virsinia's noble sons re-
sponded to their mothers call and went
forward and quilted themselves like men in
defence Of their common country. He will
wear double hon0rs when the cause OF truth
and justice shall have triumphed in Novem-
Der.
