The Unpledged Ticket.

"Who is this that darkeneth counsel
by words without wisdom?" If Gen.
Malone, John S. Wise, H. 81. Riddle
berger are "life-long Democrats" as
they have said in their speeches, what
is the use of the July convention In
Richmond. The Cincinnati convention,
the 22nd June, will nominate the DEM
cratic candidates for President and Vice
President, and all lifelong Democrats,
who do not backslide, will vote for these
candidates, and, to do SO, must vote for
the eIectora ticket, framed by the Rlch-
mond convention on the 10th of May:
which ticket will be recognized and en-
dorsed at Cincinnati. Now, why not
do the graceful thing. and acknowledge
that they have been behaving IKE
spoiled, bad tempered children, flying
in the face of their mother. and have ae-
complished no good, and determined to
drop their foo1isLness and come back
like sensible men and support heartily
the Democratic ticket in the regularly
Democratic organgization. What is the
use of going about the country speaking
and irving to persuadeithe people that the
great. honest, Woodworking property
holding, intelligent masses of Virgins.
are 'BOurbons,, 'Funders,' .shyl0cks,
and many other bad names. Nopody ex"
cept few hungry, impecunious or pro,
ken down county politicians are aIIecteo
by this new crusade of Parson massey
and his new evangelists. The body OF the
people have no respect for any move
that Injuries the Democratic party OF
Virginia, or that offers aid and comfort
to Republicans in any way, and no mat
ter what the intention of Gen. Malone,
Mr.. Wise, Parson Massey, or any other
man of the party, their attacks on Bour,
bons. Funders, &C., are construed
and understood by the negroes,
if not by any one else, as opposl'
ton to and disaffection with the Democ-
racy. We hope this folly will stop be-
fore it does any considerable harm.-
Parson Massey ought to know that bis
duties, as Auditor, require his atten-
dance in Richmond, and that bis
speeches are in direct opposition to the
law of the State governing him in the
discharge of his duties, in defiance OF
public sentiment and Injurious to the
Democratic party. IF these orators in
tend to support the Cincinnati nominee
let them openly say SO, and we will
thank them for their speeches, caring
nothing about what they say about the
State debt-if they do not, then let them
as honestly declare their opposition, and
we will meet them and let the people
say where they belong and whether they
will follow them.

VICTORY OF CONSERVATIVE IN AL
ExANDRIA.-The conservatives Of Al
exandria are to be congratulated upon
the victory they achieved Thursday.
It was decisive and gratifying one,
and may be legitimately considered In
the light Of an earnest of whae Alex-
andria will do next November in the
effort that will then be made to prevent
the conservative strength of Virginia
from being FILTERED away in order that
the republicans may carry the State.
They had to conssla against republi-
cans, readjusters, and" ii reports be
true, other and not legitimate elements
of opposition, and yet over all these
combined opponents they won victo-
ry Of whicn 'tiaey Hay well be proud,
and which will brighten ts,a hopes Of
their friends throughout the State ana
country. The result is the more graft
flying because the vote plainly shows
that notwithstanding all the talk to the
contrary the opposition to conservatism
in this city is confined eaieay to its old
enemies, the republicans, and inst che
readjusters, if they have any real
strength here outside of the republican
party, intend, like sensible men, to use
it UPON . st occasion-the election of
members Of the Aegislature-and not
in contests in which tho State debt
question has neither lot nor part, and
into which it is only lngged by selfish
politicians for the sole purpose of adj
vancing their own individual ends
