ATTEMPTED TO read or kick everybody out OF

PARTY for themselves, long before the action
OF the committee in Richmond OF which
they SO bitterly complains. During the ses-
SION OF the last Legislature there was call
issued for convention to meeta mozart
Hail., in the city of. Richmond, not ad-
dressed to- the conservatives: OF the. state
nor issued by the delegated authoritNof the
Conservative party. Under this cali con-
yention was held, which, after deIfberation,
formed themselves into Appointment organ
ization, eIecting permanent Officers, adopt
ing platform, appointing State. executive,
congressional, aud, county committees, and
electiug county superintendent, besides
issuing an address to the good people OF the
State. Ne claim, theu, that OF that time
this new party, was formed and fash
toned into shape as political party, beaded

Paul, of 1.-The county of Rockingham, who
commenced what, 1 learn is bisown pecu-
Iiar, way, an6 soon warmed ppWith his sub
ject., ind became truly eloquent. He1told
the people that this was great movement
OF, the people against high taxes, burden
some debt. and bad government, and was
destined to sweep everything before it. He
said he was one Of the people, from the peo-
ple;, and With the people; and, turning to
Mr.. Page, he!says he looks like one Of the
people, and:he ought to- be with us,f for be
don't Look, like he lad been born with sil-
ver-spoen in his mouth. He!told them then
thattthis,debt bad grown! and grown larger
still each year; that the. interest 'hadrbeen
compounded time and again under the diff
ferent funding acts until :.its proportions
had grown beyond the reach of;Virginia, or
evenfGthai hope Tits payment; that, the
damnahle feature of coupons had enabled
,theaibrokers TO- seize; the. revenues! Of the
State before even the Treasurer of the State
could teuchthem, aud tho, result was. no
money in the Treasury, the State sinking
eachr YEAR three hundred ii thousand dot
lars behind, and the public schools ciosedj
n;this dilemma, Governor Holidays having
been appealed to. said that education " as a
luxury, and IL the people world enjoy 1t
.foe their children they ought to payiIor It,
but that,the people could not pay for it be-.
cause the dalnnable funding bill had taken
all the. money from. them and left them
nothing to, pay with. He said it reminded
him OF tale he once beard Of an old fell
low who told boy to take a jug and 60 get
some whiskey. The boy said, "Give me
the money!" The old man said anybody
can get 1whiSkey with money; but to get
whiskey without money is what want you
ito do. The boy took the jug and pretty
soon returned, and said to the old man,
Drink The!uid man picked up the jug, and
finding no whiskey NIT, said, elbow can I
drink? there's no, Whiskey in the Jug
when the boy closed the discussion by say
Ing to the old man, .Anybody can drink
whiskey from a, Jug that has .whiskey in its.
but to, drink whiskey oulen:a jug that has
no Wbiskey in it. is. what I want to see you
do" He then told the people, that, any.
body could educate their children that had
the money in, their pockets. but to get
NOR ey; out Of pockets that had no money ins
them is what he wanted to, see any man d.
he denounced very bitterly the noble
thirteen who dared read bin out OF the par.
ty, but most bitterly Of all Senator G. T.
Smith and Lowell, and said the committee
thought they, were doing q big thing in
reading him; out of the party but IL was
like the old soldier who always kept his gun
clean and bright. Going home during the
late war on a fnrlough, he happened on the
train with number OF soldiers belonging
to a brigade be would call .SDith,s-more
famous for running from than towards the
enemy. The old fellow had been rubbing
up bis gun, and, wishing to try the tpbe,he
called out, ,tssAny of Smiths brigade on
board r., when, being "a good ways from the
battle field, several voices cried, :. 1es, yes,

Smiths brigade--w what do you want?" when
