The number Of Conservatives VINO nave eA-
pressed willingness to cast 10 ihelr iol-
suncs with the Few party is too sma,l 10
,,,,to !, n Formidable rival OF the Conserva-
five party; but surely that Is no reason
WHY they, or aug OF them, should be per-
,nitted TO take part IN the deliberations OF
The party which they have denounced ana
deserted. "CassIo, never more De Queer
of mine, Is it. necessary to remlru Tue
Daoplc that new State Central COMMITTEE
snd new chairzDen OF county and cltV com
&. rniltecs were appointed? Or that the iead-
crs OF the movement were not then DoHlhS
Tor the first time. but had nearly all OF them
oDposed the election OF the Conservative
- nominees for Congress last fat?
Now, We are very far from desiring 10
produce any discord in the Conservative
party. On the contrary. we desire peace
and concord: but these we can never have
so long as the party permits boilers ana aus
organizers 10 take part in the deliberations
OF its assemblages and the selection OF lts
candidates. The men named above (eXeept
Mr.. FOWL ER) are chronic boilers and sore
heads. They are, however, merely named
rs the representatives of quite large class.
In :aet, they claim that they have the peo'
ple'' with them. They have organized
new party in Virginia. They declare that
they will support none but Forcbles for
Office. They have appointed State Com
mittee to supersede the State Com
mittec OF the Conservative party, and
chairmcn of county committees to SUI
persede the county chairmen OF the
Conservative party and to orgdnize the
new party in every part Of the State. VIII
these gentlemen stand up to the rack! VI
course they will. They organized their new
party upon the very issue which the Legs
,lature is about to make before the people OF
virginia. Shall the Conservative party back
out? Surely not. What is to be gained by
irving to conciliate men who are lrrecon'
cilabIc ?-men who will act with us only SO
long as they are recognized rs leaders, and
their schemes are endorsed by the Conser"
ovativetparty?
: II IS no answer to all this to say that Mr..
RoyALL organized debt-paying assocla-
ton. That movement was as complete
failure as that OF the Mozart-Hall Conven-
ton promises to be. The originators of the
RoYA,L movement have doubtless been con-
WINGED that they blundered in proposing to
elect only Funders to the General Assem-
= bly.la They have, we suppose, acqulesced
in the public judgment that their move
ment was calculated to damage the Con-
.servatiye party; and have, we doubt
not, abandoned it. 1t never claimed to be
political party, nor anything more than
an association OF dcbt-pavers. But the
Forcible party was organized formally as
the antagonist Of any party that should dare
to endorse the MCCULLoCH bill. Now. then,
let the Conservative party endorse that bill
and throw themselves upon the country.
II the Forcibles have repented, let them say
so, and abandon the new party. Ii not, lei
them defend it before the. voters. They
claim to be in the majority; and we chal'
lenge then to prove their faith by their
works. <EH.t: $50. :.
