There were three parties in Virginia in
1869 for a short time-the Republican party
proper, the Republican party, and the
Conservative party. To which OF these
parties did General MALONE belong! Is II
possible that he was True-Republican OF

Now, il General MALONE did not belong
TO the party which was represented by the
gentlemen above named. to what party did
be belong? ltsurprises Us, too, 10 IND mat
WILLIAM 4. CAMERON was " Bourbon
But the notable Inference is that General Ma
HONE was not member OF the party repre-.
scented by the gentlemen above named, who
were supposed at the time 10 speak f0f all
the white native people OF Virginia except
very few Republicans.
So be II. But lei us see what sort OF doc
trines were set forth in 1869 by the State
Central Committee of the Conservative par
ty, which was the party to whose efforts
Governor WALKER owed his election, and
the white people Of Virginia their salvation
from negro domination. II was that party
which furnished the sinews OF war, the
speakers, the vol ers, and the voters. The
few so.ca)led "TrueRepubicans amount.
ed to no; hing, or scarcely anything, at the
ballot-box. From the address put forth by
the state Central Committee of the COnser-
yatiye party in 1869, soon after the adjourn
ment OF the Convention referred to above,
We take the following extract. Mr.. Il. I.
DANIEL, the chairman OF that committee,
said
But the question which rises above all
others in importance is: Should not the
tohite vote be rallied in It's full strength in
opposition TO the tcst-oath and disfran-
chsing clauses! The defeat OF those clauses.
Will be in effect a measure OF white eman-
cipatio6. IL will rescue the white race
from political ostracism, restore 10 1t the
eontro, Of the State, dAd forever secure TO
the virtue, intelligence, and property inter-
eSfS OF the community their legitimate tn-
fuence. II will empower those ,ohO pay
The tQreS TO levy and eXpend them. thus
frustrating the organized spollatiOn which
combination OF negroes. pouperS, and
to0rthleSS dduentarerS would otherwise
have Inflicted"
We submit that Mr.. KOINER's party is
the legitimate successor Of the one which
issued The address from which we have
quoted.
The only way that We can see for the
Wing To get General MALONE out OF the
scrape into which il has gotten him is to
claim that his friends voted to withdraw the
White Mans ticket, and his opponents in
side OF the Conservative party in both in
