Last, almost, among the southern States
. o escape the mailed hanG OF military deS-
notlsm, Virginia. under the wise counSels
OF this party, was the first to resume her
place as selt-governing Commonwealth;
and while tempest of corruption and
robbery, of social terror and public dis
cord, swept her unhappy sisters, she
marched steadily onward IN a career of
peace and happiness pursued by methods
hat were the models on which those less
fortunate States painfully and slowly won
the heights which she reached, through
Conservative triumph, at a single bound.
And now that menace to tue supremacy
n her government of the virtue aud in
diligence of her people confronts US more
:atal than any We have encountered since
he yoke OF the Underwood Constitution
was lightened, let US meet in that spirit of
unity and Cancellation never heretofore IN
voked in vain. Our party had its birth in
the throes of a supreme act of compro-
mise. 1t mas waxed mighty. nourished b,
cancellations; it is the child of sacrifices;
il has Lot lost the capability OF concession.
and never before has the need been more
urgent. Encouraged bv our divisions, the
party, which eight years ago
made but feeble struggle for the prizes
of government, and four years since fled
from the field, suddenly sprang into form
ida BILE existence in the late election, and un-
der circumstances the most discoura2ing
disclosed strength which with slight in
crease would have swept the State.
What Republican triumph in a southern
Commonwealth means let he wretched
record of fifteen Years attest. 1t signifies,
in word, the dethronement Of the vir-
tue, character, intelligence, and property
Of the State, and the erect ion on their ru-
ms of dynasty of prUfIgacy, ignorance.
and malice, whose unvarying ii uits in
DLdGeS nave Doen SOCIAL utgraua-
ton, universal robbery, continued dlsord-
undoing, in our case, of the toll
;ome labor of twelve conservative years.
Higher. in our Judgment. than any
other issue that can be presented to our
people is the preservation of their civiiza-
lion and the maintenance of white su-
premacy in their government: this is tile
life OF the State; our first duty; all else is
secondary to it. To secure it for ourselves,
to transmit it to our children, is the SOW
.re1gn service imposed upon US by our
Time and circumstances. This must be
saved, whatever is lost; and to rescue it
and plant it on enduring foundations is
IN obligation that mounts high above the
domain of party politics and demands of
Us every sacrifice.
