The New Organization.

Inc NEW AISSiiiGesSioA'
The more the people reflect upon thc SUD-
;cct ,hc more clearly will it appear TO them
that MIR. RAsBouR's organization IS ooth IN
,o,,sea and calculated TO build up q new
,>,,tv unon the ruins Of the Conservative
marty. As two parties within the limits OF
The same State, the one antaSonIz'ng tue
other. cannot possibly both be successful,
am, a. Mr.. BARBOUR proposes to elect TO the
next Legislature only such persons rs are
R,sdiusters, il follows necessarily that nc
Is in favor OF destroying the Conservative
party aud OF forming a new one, when
shalt square its acts by his rule. Tic desires
10 nut down the Conservative party, Which
does no, agree in ali respects with his notions
and organize new party which stail III
every pavticula: be rs near perfection Us
Air. BARBOUR himself. This Is not the
fir>. time that he has manifested DISPOSE
,ion to Gisrunt tho Conservative party. A
few years ago, he announced himself as
candidate for nomination for Congress by
tic Conservative party; and, faliins 10 Sc
cure the nomination, he then announced
himself IS an independent candidate for the
same Congress. He was defeated by that
gallant soldier and faithful public servant
General ETA HuNToN, as we trust he Will
now be defeated in his new attempt to put
down the Conservative party.
What is true Of Dir. BARBOUR is uniortu.
natciy true OF too many OF his associates. In
tie list OF members OF the Legislature who
have joined in this call fer an organization
to >upcrSctlc the Conservative party we md
the names Of no less than eight Repub'l-
cans--namely, MessrS. BLISS. POWELL,
WALKER. YOUNG, Norton, Hamilton, Ice,
and ErdnS, the last four OF whem arc ne
grocS. Mr. BLAINE need make no more OF
bis merry uttcranccs concerning the treatment
n.ctcd out to the colored people Of the South
il these can secure in every State allies so
powerful as those with whom NORTON. LEE,
HAMILTON, and EVANS. are now marching
with closed ranks to meet the soldiers OF the
Conservative party. cannot blame these
Republicans. white or black. II they wish
t. destroy the Conservative party, as no
doubt they honestly 90. they could adopt
for iilat purpose no measure when Wou.d
premise success more speedily than the enc
w&ic. they have adopted.
And il IS not only Alr. BARBOUR and the
Republicans who have heretofore wa!rcd
a.ains. tic organization and the nominees
oi Tic Conservative party, but various
Others Of those members OF tie Legislature
wHo have called for the Convention Of the
% Il OF February. We are not familiar
with the records OF ail OF the gentlemen
who's" names appear i'll this connection; but
il "" might judge OF those whose records
We arc not acquainted with by those whose
records are known TO uS, we should reach
the conclusion that none Of them would
sA2d tears il the Conservative party should
be murdered by the Convention OF next
month and buried in Il GiShonorcd grave.
Mr. CH!LEs spoke and voted last fall against
the election of General JOE JOHNSTON, the
regular nominee Of the Conservative party;
Mr. FULKERsoS opposed with all lis might
the election OF Colonel RICHMOND, the regu-
lar Conservative nominee; Mr.. FAUNTLE-
ROY was elected 10 the present Legislature
over the regular Conservative nominee.
Mr.. MASSEY, Mr.. LADY, and Mr.. FRAZIER
arc all known to Us "a Boilers at one election
Or another.
It is not necessary, however, to know the
records OF all OF the gentlemen engaged iii
tii> business. If there are any leaders in
the movement; if there are among them
any who will control the rest, their names
arcrmougst those mentioned above. Messrs.
ALLEN, FOWLER, and MoFFETr are gene
rally also ranked rs leaders; but they voted
to reconsider the resolution providing for
tie call OF a Convention. In fact, We are
no, prepared to believe that either they or
several others whom we could name will
act with the new organization any longer
than until il shall have clearly shown that
its design is 10 break down tire Conserra-
tive party.
Nevertheless, rs before we have said, SO
now we repeat, that whoever is not for Is
:n,ains. The Conservative party. Show your
lands, gentlemen. Ii you desire that
new party shall ,upersede the Conservative
party because the latter is not out-and.out
for Eorciblc reimbursement, your Convention
Of February will afford you an excellent op~
portunity to declare your purpose. But re-
member the fate Of the boilers of 1878.
