That we approre and will continue to uphold the principles upoa which tbe Bepubllcan Party wae founded, and which, during fourteen years of ascendancy in the National Goyernment, have reaulted la tbe Dreeerration of the Union ia the extinction of elayfry; in the reorganizatiuu of all the States ia encurine equal politiosl riehU to all dtiseuai in the maintenance of tbe national credit in the diminution of the public debt; to tbe reduction of taxes lu the honorable adjustment of foreign com plications i in tbe advancement of the nation ia power aad dignity abroad and prosperity at home and in courageous efforts to expose official delinquencies, find promou intcgrltf in public t'utt.

That we are in tayor of such national legislation aa will maintain inflexibly the faith of the Goyernment te its creditors, and secure the epeedy resumption of specie payments. Applause.) 4. Ruol-Md, That, while not unmindful of tbe good of the whole country, we feel at liberty in thia purely State contest to maintain especially the interests of NtwJerwij to remember bar peculiar position betweea two great manufacturing and commercial States la' the path of our yast aa tional traffic to be lastly pread of her mineral and agricultural wealth, her commercial facilities, her great eyetem of railroads, and her important manafactnrinc interests and to be watchful against any form ei mattioaal legislation and any .1.

And for the aame reasons we are ia faror of the establishment of a port of entry at Jersey City la order to secure to Kew-Jersey the luat advantage or her unrivaled a arbors, and to far ili rate the flow of commerce la its natural chan nel through her territory. ItmicL That ia regard to State affairs, we com mend ana will pursue tne meaeuree ana volley adopted by the Bepubllcan Party during its control ef toe State Government, 1. The general railroad system, and the conse quent diminution of corrupting influences in legisla tion. 2.

The Judicious amendment of the State Constitu The generous anpport of oar system ef pubbo education. The wise management and liberal extension of our pa Dlia Institutions or penal, sanitary, and ohar-itaole purposes. 4. And the general promotion of the various indue tries of tbe State, so far as they lie within the apnere 01 btate control. Senator Prelingbuyaea was introduced, aad spoke aa follows: i rxxujw-Crnzrjrs It affords ms true pleaaure te meet thia large repreeentation of the Republicans of the State, and to receive your cordial congratulation.

For while it is my purpose and aim, iu tbe discharge of the trust which you have confided to ma, to promote tne intereete or toe nation, ana te loo arter tne weuare or au our citizens, it la to you. from you, and those you represent, that approval la to me of special interest. I should like now to give an account of my stewardship, but the time wbea a patriot band ia about to take It departure to attain new achievements ia toe precious to be occupied by any individual considerations, or by anything save that which relates to the honor and diguity and welfare of the country. (ApDlauae.) "Waa thia only a contest to determine which one of two respectable classes of citizens should receive the honor and emoluments of the office the State is about to confer, thia occasion would aink into comparative Insignificance. The party that makes its own succession to power the main and ultimate end of ite existence ia entitled to but little con aiders tion.

"We rise above these sordid and selfish views, and declars our purposes to be the welfare of the State, aad party organization the means to. that end. That being aa, the question before a bow. And tbe question before tbe people of the country, is, whether the policy end meaeuree of the Republican Party, aa manifested by these purpose ia the past and it promisee for the future, tend to the honor of the nation aad the welfare of mankind, and if they do eo tend, then the aext question is whether It ia a political organizatioa aufflciently patriotic, intelligent, and pure to carry that end into effect. Ia determining thia questioa it is pertinent for me to remark that we are not to be Influenced by the profnae professions, by the reckless charges, of those who are thirsting for power which the people have long denied.

Professions of devotion to public good are captivating, for that ia the aim of every good maa. Severe criticism gains a ready ear, because patriot are fealoua of the purity aad wise eoaduet of their Government, but you must receive professions and promises -and erisicisms when they come from those thirsting for power, and who have had hope long deferred, with great caution If yon are to come to a wise conclusion. Why, this Republican Party when it came Into power found iti eif forced by necessity to attempt four great measures which the people of other nations, and many even of this, declared impossible of accomplishment. One waa that 'we were to reduce to aubjecUoa nearly one-third of our entire population la open, armed, aad defiant re hellion another that we were te give to nearly 3,000,000 ef slaves immediate and unqualified freedom. These two measures have been accomplished.

In accomplishing the first rule, during the rebellion, the War Democrats shared with ua the glory i in accomplishing the ether, they hsd no part. They opposed it step by step, and it was accomplished la spite of them. (Applause.) These measure seemed to call forth the active energies aad the patriotic heroism ot the people. There wa then no time or place far this arrogant boasting, but the true-beartd patriots put forth every nerve and every energy to rescue this glorious Republic the hope of the world from destruction and to wipe from ite escutchson ths cursed stain of slavery. It is in tbs halcyon days of peace, when tbe patriots are off guard, that tneae atrstagema are reaorted te to lull to inaction or to poison te lethargy.

The ether two meaeuree, which I will man tion, they were Inaugurating, but they are aot yet successfully accomplished. To-day is the day of their trial. They make no appeal to enthusiasm, they invoke no chivalry, no romance, no heroism i they appeal to wise statesmanship, to philanthropy, to the severest of all test, to the unwavering continuance la well-doing. The first of these measuree is that upoa those who, ia violation uf law, and while enjoying every political blessing, take np arms to destroy tiaa nation, and upoa tbe freedmea we have beea obliged te confer equal political rights to preserve tae policy and tbe destiny the oonatry which tbey sought to destroy. It was a fearful peril, but It waa a necessity.

We might have modified it. We might have gained every rebel State aa allies to the Republican Party forwver Just by little concession last by declaring tbat the feedujaa ahoold aot have the ballot, that he should not have exactly tbe aame rights aa his former toaster i Just by substituting ua degradation for an-Ovher uooa those who had fought tor aa and beea true to us, for tbe sake of conciliating those who had been false to ua aad had fougot SLgainet us. They would have beea our allies lur-ever. but perfidy and dishonor ware too dear a price for this party that they called oorrupt to pay, evea for political allies which would have secured them la pewer for a century. (Apvlause.) Is it ia human aatare, ia it la their nature, to rise to the appreciation of the leniency and the generosity which has beea extended to thorn I God grant tt may, whiie we ia ler snt in spirit obey the Constitution, aot the Conat tutvon as it was, bat the Constitution as it is.

Applause.) Universal auffrage, aniveral equality, universal citizenship, stamp va it sil the sovereigu wiii ot the Amencau people. The answer to that Question hanga to-day dubiously on tbe genius uf our coiuitrv'a history. Xour action the action of the people of thia country determining whether tbey wilt render it possible or impossible! whether tbey will extend or withhold tbe temptation to Indulge ia former prejudices and gratify old animositiHe. a ha pes the answer which will ultimately be given. The other measure to which I reier is, ths upon those who have Just emerged from slavery we were obliged to coaler full aad equal political rights.

We could not do otherwise. You may say uiey ware not prepared for it. The nation that boasts that the two pillars it Government are liberty aud equality would have cut a sorry picture la history if we tad conferred poaUcal rights upoa those who fought against ua, and refused who helped to save the country. The gift ot freedom would have beea a worthless booh without the rights ut a freeman. Take from tbem audrage an'd ciusensuip and yea uiAke them the defrnseiea victims of those who are ae longer interested in their welfare.

Tbeee great measure full ami so out ri bts to the colored people er tbe Ooulo are aot yet accomplished. lby are Botysteeteoluhcd i urely in taeee rights. The eoaamoa right w.Vh are readily Accorded to tbe white auk are la many places withheld from tt Apt. Ther are denied proper ia puUie convey-auttos, they are denied reasonable accommodation at Inns, and where they are ia the majority le maey put es the South Uuar sducattoaai laciuties are a saere mockery. A whit aiau's party haa beea formed, the object of whioh is to ostracise them aad every maa wae haa the courage te easts in theau TAey are ia some parts of the country to be crushed k.

The p'pl of thia country are wuws i a nope mere win I hope there aot be any occasion for eea bring reused but if the right ef these i wae are true te us are act respected, the una nut quiet 1 but the lull that precedes the storm. I Prolonged oheera.) The people ef that country hay their eye upon the proossdiaga that are there taking place, aad if results turn out adversely to those wb have beea true te as, taea the people of this country win, sa spirit at least, walk the loag miles of Arlington, An statu, sad Gettyburg--e father will see the humble temb ea which 1 the aame of via eea, aad hard by, the grave ef the colored soldier, aad he will remember thai the same blanks covered them in tbe dreary moras that tbey afaared together their waning caateea i that should a to shoulder tbey fought for this country i that the one bore for the ether the last message of aovew auv wen Ou femes stems! eanroing ground Their aileat tents tbey spread. While glory guards with solema rawed Ths bivouaaef the dead." cbeera.l Prom these sign the true people of thia country wQl come and by all tbe early political history of our nation, and by all the patriot blood that haa been shed, shall be decreed that the escutcheon of social equality Is beyond and outelde the province of Government, aad civil equality shall be everywhere In this land forever. Iuring the administration of thia party five mliliooe of slaves have been made free, American citizenship is acknowledged the world ever, perilous complications with England have been bridged ever; and peaceful arbitration preferred to that of the sword, postal communication is improved, ths public debt (a being paid vt, repudiatioa ia repudiated, the number of milea ef railroad have been doubled, aad tbe country haa prospered aa never before.

It has dene on thing, it has refused to let the IamocraUe Party come into power. One other thing I will mention, they say the Republican Party haa passed the gsg law. A laugh. Kew let me say that no party can pass a gag law tn thU country, becanM th Constitution declares tbat Conzreu shall not mike any law abridging the freedom of tbe press, and any law that Congress anight attempt to Mtabiish would be a lnsffsctnal aa the Pepe'e boll against the comet. Laughter.

have ao right to attempt te pass any auchlaw, for we have sworn that ws will legislate according totheeoa-atitution. Mow all that I know about tbat law, and I have a copy of it here, is, that I found it belore a udioiary Committee of tbe Senate it was there discnesol by some members of that committee, and unanimously directed to be reported noon favorably to the Senate, It waa then paeeed by the Senate without any yote against it. I am free to say that I voted for it and advocated It, believing it to be a local law Applying to the District of Columbia; and I think, aad it is right tbat I should so state, tbat it was in that view tbat both Democrats and i Bepubbcaus. voted for it in the Senate, and I presume in the House. Tbe first section provides simply this it creates ae new offense, it simply says that where ther ia aa indictable offenae ia tbe District of Columbia and there ia no court to try it tbat it shall be tried before tbe Criminal Court of tbe District of Columbia.

Tbat is tbs whole ef the first section, but they say that the sting of it is la the second section, which rroviiies that pro vision XI of the Judiciary act of 730 shall apply to courts created by Congress in the District of Columbia. That law is this, that where one 1 Accused of an offense or ciims again at the United States he may be arretted wherever he is found and brought back to the District or State in which tbe offensA was to be tried, for instance, if a maa ia guilty of counterfeiting here be can be arrested ia Georgia and brought back here and trie J. It wa eminently proper that such a law should apply to Columbia. If the Goyernment is to be guarded anywhere, it ia where it ia located, where speculation or trends or counterfeit may oecor, and therefore according to my underatandinc, this law provides that it shall extend to tbe District of Columbia. The question la aaked is it aot true that under thia law aa editor can be brought from any part of the country aad tried for libel in Columbia I don't wish to commit my self on one point a to whether ther are any distinctions ia claaaea la tbia country, or editors shall have any different trials thaa other people.

I don't wish to say that I am satisfied that! if a man put forth libels you should try him where the libel is uttered rather than where the irjury. Is ia aaid tbat thia law authorize seadrng for aa editor and bringing him te the Diairtct of Columbia to bei tried. According to my understanding iu doe aot, because the law only appliee tot those who are acecoaed of effenaea or crime against the United States. How, then, this crime againat the United States Is a crime by virtue of a statu ts, and not by virtu of eommoni law and one word aa te the character of thia I know it ia subject to perfection, like all thingai human, but I aay, without tear bf contradiction, that no party or government ever in tbe same time ac- eompliahed inch good aa ths Bepubllcan Party, eon- aiuering the dUficulUee under, which it labored. The speaker concluded by a complimentary allusion to Air.

uaise r. I Secretary Bobeeoa and Senator Cattail also apoks, and ths convention quietly dispersed. TBE SCASDAL. thk latest phases or the case libel SUITS OBOWISO OUT OF IT RLPOKT OF THK COMMITTEE TO BE PRESENTED THIS EVENING.

Fi-asi Paw Omm Oiri iasaagiat EicmtoxD, Va-, Wedneedax, Aug. 2S, 1874. llie Conserratives of tltis district met her to-day to nominate a CAndidate for Con Cress.

There was a large Attendance of dele gate, and Judge Jsxoea H. Cox, of Chesterfield. presided. A soon -aa it waa announced that nominations were ia order, an rnthuaiastio dele gate from this city nominated Ex-Got. Gilbert C.

Walker as the political aarior of Virginia." Gen. James L. Gordon, of roulsa County, tba only county electing delegates opposed to Walker, seconded the nomination, saying that Walker's bold upon the confidence and affection of ths people wss unparalleled, and all felt that a crest debt was das him for what he had done for the State. Mayor Keiley, of thia city, followed In a spread-eagle speech te the aame effect and, on motion. Walker waa chosen by acclamation, although aereral obstinate delegate from Louisa loudly protested "Nof Cries wom Are tbey delegate "Put 'em out But a stalwart gentlemen' from Louisa, nearly seven feet high, aad large in proportion arose and said I am one who voted wo, and I still rote no I I am a delegate, and a good- sized one, too, and I'd like to see anybody at tempt to pat me oat This quieted the ruing; tumult, and the President declared Walker the nominee of tbe convention.

A committee was at once sent for the Ex Governor, who soon came in, straight, portly. And with a gratified smile npon his broad and handsome face. He was received with the noisiest sort of demonstration, and Judge Cox introduced him as a most fortunate man ia these degenerate days to have hi claim and merit not only recognized, but recognised in ao emphatio a manner. You," said the Judge, came to oar rescue when we were outnum bered, overpowered, and disheartened, and when the Grayest of us were ready to make compromises; but you raised the battle-cry in behalf of Caucasian rule and led ua to victory, Now that we are out of the wood we are no longer willing to make The white men of Virginia must rule her now and forever, and in this fight your old battle-cry mnat rally us again to victory. Ton have come South and identified yourself with our feelings and interests, and now that you are one of us.

let me whisper in your ear that we consider our civilization, much better than Northern civiliza tion, and we expect you to be as true to ua as we are to you in all respects. But let me now in this proud moment when your fellow-citizens have so aignally honored you aak you to remem ber that Scriptural 'injunction, 'Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest be falL' -Gov. Walker said: I thsnk you from my heart for this cordial greet-lnc and for the matter and manner of your action to-day accept my profound acknowledgments. To be nominated any day by the Metropolitan District of Virginia would be an honor that any man misht well be proud of i but tn be nominated now, by thia dietinguished body, and by acclamation, has mon than a personal elsrniflcance. while it evinoea a eon fldence in me that I will never betray.

But, a I have beea adnoniahed, a nomination may not be eaulvaleDt to election vet I feel the eoirit of the district ia my behalf aa exhibited by you. I know tbat victory awaits me tf I put forth the proper effort, and ia tbat I shall aot be wantinr. The conflict of individual is over. 2fw the flrht art see between parties, ideas, measures, and nrincinlea. Where la the true Conservative citizen of Virginia who can calmly and tamely await that black wave of Badicallam, freighted with hate and created with malice, which threatens to submerge him aud bis State I I win not believe tbat there are any in thia district, and that all will vigorously aad patriotically assist me to election.

The next Con erest will be one of the most im portent ia our history, aad I am aot unmindful of the responsibility 1 snail aasnmein neeominga mem-'ber of it as I confidently predict I will be but I undertake tbe trust with a resolute determination to do my whole duty to Virginia, the South, and the whole country, aa I understand it. Chief ef tbe Important queationa that await Pederal solution la the present ruined condition of many the Southern States, and what may be done to ameliorate that condition. Tbe next Congress is to ssy whether Anglo-Saxon ctvilisatioa is to be obliterated from the Gulf States, or to be rescoed and perpetuated, la tbe array of the Southern aeeroes, under aa- wortny adventurer against tne southern wnttes, we see the prime cause that has broucht so much dies star and desolation, and which threetena ao much more. Por thia array thia conflict of races the Bepubliean party and its administration is responsible. That party haa aoucbt to strengthen iteelf by the vote of tbe negroes of tbe South and the destruction of the Southern white.

Wherever Radicalism baa triumphed, there anarchy aad rapine, fraud and violence have desolated the State. Tbe Republican Party of the country, I ssy. Is responsible for these evils, and the only hope of aa efficient remedy ia the overthrow of that paity and the inauguration of a different and better power at Washington. It is not only the South that la afflicted by the disorders arising from negro snd Bydical rule, bat the whole hodv noli tic ia aifected and infacted. and the whole people must arouse aad overturn the equal enemy of au.

ita tne u'wniau ot tne ztspuoucaa nny tne unprincipled white me a wne have ae Wag led and ln-n anted the nerroes will depart, the eeaToea themselves will quietly settle down te the industries tbat become thrm, and the whitee and blacks will harmoniously live and prosper under the rule of the superior race, which is Attest aad best tor both. The present Ansncial embarrassment of the country, and particularly of tbe Sooth, is also due to tbe Badical party. It baa flooded the land with aa unredeemable paper currency, aad what tt seeded te correct the evil is fur the -Goyernment itaeU to set aa example of boaeety by striking out that gross exception which allows the- Government te iepu diate ita own greenback for dutiea oa imports, while these same greenbacks are legal tender lor all debt to or betweea the eitiseua of the oonatry. This done, specie payment will follow as a almpl aad speeoy consequence. But ao reliaf of thia aort can be secured tail the party ia power be defeated, asd another and purer placed in control of affairs.

Aa to tbe James Biver aad Kanawha Canal, have Always labored ia ita behalf, and have always believed too, tbat it cannot be completed but with ontaide aid. 1 have differed with sum of tn friends of thia canal aa to when and how that aid could be secured i but I a well as they am willing to accept it from any source, aad ia any way that it may oner. Ia Congress or out I will Jo all In my power at all times to secure the completion of this national water-way. 1 I believe that the United States ewes a great debt to Virginia for what ahe haa done in the pest for tbe common benefit, and I shall labor In the aert Congress to obtain fur Virginia hur equitable share of the proceed from the sales ef all public lands, to be applied to the support of public free education, aad I ahall oppose all grants ef land to railroad and other corporations Peking to put aa end to these jobs aad land-grabs that despoil the public for tbe benefit of a lew dishonest indlvlduala. I am also opposed to the centralisation of the goyernment, and aitall battle againat every atep in that direction, for 1 love tbe gov era meat as our father gave it to oa and desire its perpetuation.

1 am opposed now aad alwaya have beea te tbe oppression ef the people whica grows out of all monopolies aad oorporatloua, whether railroad or moneyed aad above all, I will seek in Cuagreea promote thelnteteeta of Virginia ia every way, and te make her voice more potential ia the councils ef tbe nation. As soon aa the immense applause that acoom-tmnied And followed the Governor's speech had subsided, llayor A. It. Keiley, of thia city, offered the following resolutions, which were adopted by acclamation I Unobtti, Tbat the delegates of the Conservative Party of tbe Third Congressional Diatrict ef Virginia, la convention saae moled, deem it Sue te their constituents, aad te the Conservative people of the State aad Union, to embrace this, the Aret suitable cessiun. to record their solema protest against tbe measure knowa as the Civil Bights bill, which hss passed the Ssaate ef the United States by aa exclusively Bepuhucaa vote, and against tbe scheme aad purpose ef that bill, by whatever legislation sought.

I Aewicsd, That, recognising la that measure a resolute purpose to exhaust the resources of law to aa-aoy aad humiliate the white people ef the South aad tn tensity the hostility betweea tbe colors already exiating. we desire to stamp tbia cherished measm of tbe Itepublieaa Party aa a declared warfare, aot only agaiasl the Constitution, whose limitations it disregard, bat axalnat the social aad domestic right of our people, mors cherished and sacred thaa are the political privileges te secure which tbe compacts society are foruteu. jYreeineii, That, aa the course ef the Republican Party ea tbia measure for the oast twe years aad the aieonrageaueat anorded it by President Great, ad- moo lab as that this Is to be the last form or enmity with which our peace and hanninass are to be men aced, regard it proper to ervaye er feUsw -cm- sens to a eease um common uaager, uu nrg umn to ribs Hat nil honorable entloavor to enccuntew and 2ae maascsr by she altstiun ef Coa- 281874 ittv members the Bans ea where aloao the battle tor ear right eaa he ancatss fully fought.
