The Virginia Conservatives

aign was opened grandly to-night by one of the largest and inost enthusiastic meetings of the conservativo people, at the Theater, ever assembled within its walls. The dress cirole was well filled with ladies of our best society. There was not a black face visible among the audience. The building was so densely acked that hundreds of people on the outside could not gain en trance. The tage was elegantly decorated with Ameroan nags and the flag of Virginia. The iret speech was niad by Gen. Kemper, andidate for Governor, and he was folowed by Colonel Withers and Mr. Daniel. the othor candidates. Mr. R. M. T. Hunter closed in one of his most brilliant and effective efforts. Neither of the speakers had much to say concerning national politics. The bugles having sounded a truce with the Administration it is the determination of the party to religiously observe it. There never before was such unanimity in Virginia. The white people are united almost to a man in the determination to rescue the State f rom threatened negro doinination, and a fuller white vote will be cast in November than at any election since the war. Governor Walker presided at the meeting, and was received by a grand outburst of applause when he appeared. The speakers confined themselves to depicting the horrors that would re8ult to the white race by the defeat of the Conservatives and a triumph of the negro element, and made constant reference to the awful condition of affairB in Bouth Carolina and Louislana under black rule. No one here doubts that the Conservative party will aohieve complete and decisivo triumph, which will settle the political status of theState f Virginia for the future, so far as the egro qucBtion is involved.
